Performance of neutron-irradiated 4H-Silicon Carbide diodes subjected to Alpha radiation
Philipp Gaggl, Andreas Gsponer, Richard Thalmeier +5
The unique electrical and material properties of 4H-silicon-carbide (4H-SiC) make it a promising candidate material for high rate particle detectors. In contrast to the ubiquitousl…
New Limit on Axion-Like Dark Matter using Cold Neutrons
Ivo Schulthess, Estelle Chanel, Anastasio Fratangelo +8
We report on a search for dark matter axion-like particles (ALPs) using a Ramsey-type apparatus for cold neutrons. A hypothetical ALP-gluon-coupling would manifest in a neutron ele…
The self-interaction force on an arbitrarily moving point-charge and its energy-momentum radiation rate: A mathematically rigorous derivation of the Lorentz-Dirac equation of motion
Andre Gsponer
The classical theory of radiating point-charges is revisited: the retarded potentials, fields, and currents are defined as nonlinear generalized functions and all calculations are…
Derivation of the self-interaction force on an arbitrarily moving point-charge and of its related energy-momentum radiation rate: The Lorentz-Dirac equation of motion in a Colombeau algebra
Andre Gsponer
The classical theory of radiating point-charges is revisited: the retarded potentials, fields, and currents are defined as nonlinear generalized functions. All calculations are mad…
A possible fundamental explanation of electroweak unification
Andre Gsponer
Electroweak unification is implied by the local structure theorem of distribution theory applied to the causal interval R=X-Z between two space-time points X and Z. Taking R as gen…
First-order quantum perturbation theory and Colombeau generalized functions
Andre Gsponer
The electromagnetic scattering of a spin-0 charged particle off a fixed center is calculated in first-order quantum perturbation theory. This implies evaluating the square of a `Di…
