CSL-1: Lensing by a Cosmic String or a Dark Matter Filament?
Malcolm Fairbairn
The lens candidate CSL-1 has been interpreted as evidence for a cosmic string. Here we test the hypothesis that the lensing comes from a tidally disrupted dark matter halo. We calc…
Supernova limits on brane world cosmology
Malcolm Fairbairn, Ariel Goobar
By combining the first year data from the Supernova Legacy Survey (SN LS) and the recent detection of the baryon acoustic peak in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, we are able to…
Decay of Excited String States at Colliders and Cosmic Ray Detectors
Malcolm Fairbairn
It is argued that in the context of TeV gravity with large extra dimensions, excited string states produced in colliders and in the interaction of cosmic rays with the atmosphere m…
Photon Mixing in Domain Walls and the Cosmic Coincidence Problem
Jarah Evslin, Malcolm Fairbairn
A model is presented where there exists another U(1) gauge group which is extremely weakly coupled to that of QED except inside the core of domain walls. It is possible to choose p…
