Outcomes of Grand Unified Symmetry Breaking
Harish Hemming, Tanmay Vachaspati, Anja Wachowitz
We numerically study the outcome of symmetry breaking motivated by Grand Unified models. Our results show the formation of biased domain walls for a range of parameters together wi…
Domain walls and magnetic monopoles in Grand Unified Models
Harish Hemming, Tanmay Vachaspati, Anja Wachowitz
Motivated by Grand Unification, we study the formation of magnetic monopoles in an SU(3) non-Abelian gauge theory. We find that the number density of magnetic monopoles depends cri…
Production of global vortices with quantum mediation
Omer Albayrak, Tanmay Vachaspati
We study global vortex production in (numerical) scattering experiments when the scatterer and the vortex degrees of freedom interact only due to intermediary quantum variables. We…
Annihilation of electroweak dumbbells
Teerthal Patel, Tanmay Vachaspati
We study the annihilation of electroweak dumbbells and the dependence of their dynamics on initial dumbbell length and twist. Untwisted dumbbells decay rapidly while maximally twis…
Creating kinks with quantum mediation
Omer Albayrak, Tanmay Vachaspati
We consider the creation of kink-antikink pairs of a scalar field by the scattering of classical wavepackets of a second scalar field, , when there are no direct interaction…
Structure of electroweak dumbbells
Teerthal Patel, Tanmay Vachaspati
We analyze the magnetic field of electroweak dumbbells. While the magnetic field of the untwisted dumbbell is given by the usual dipole formula and falls of as , dumbbells w…
