Higgs Thermal Nonequilibrium in Primordial QGP

Cheng Tao Yang, Shelbi Foster, Johann Rafelski

In this work we investigate the chemical and kinetic nonequilibrium dynamics of the Higgs boson during the primordial Universe QGP (quark-gluon plasma) epoch $130\mathrm{\,GeV}>T>1…

Short Note on Spin Magnetization in QGP

Andrew Steinmetz, Johann Rafelski

We outline the theory of spin magnetization applicable to the QGP (quark-gluon plasma) epoch of the Universe. We show that a fully spin-polarized single flavor up-quark gas could g…

Nuclear Fusion Enhancement by Heavy Nuclear Catalysts

Christopher Grayson, Johann Rafelski

We seek to understand the effect of high electron density in the proximity of a heavy nucleus on the fusion reaction rates in a hot plasma phase. We investigate quantitatively the…
