Quarks to Cosmos: Particles and Plasma in Cosmological evolution
Johann Rafelski, Jeremiah Birrell, Christopher Grayson +2
We describe in the context of the particle physics (PP) standard model (SM) `PP-SM' the understanding of the primordial properties and composition of the Universe in the temperatur…
Lepton Number and Expansion of the Universe
Cheng Tao Yang, Jeremiah Birrell, Johann Rafelski
We show that the non-integer effective number of neutrinos can be understood as an effect of lepton asymmetry in the early Universe carried by the Dirac ne…
The hot Hagedorn Universe
Johann Rafelski, Jeremiah Birrell
In the context of the half-centenary of Hagedorn temperature and the statistical bootstrap model (SBM) we present a short account of how these insights coincided with the establish…
Proposal for Resonant Detection of Relic Massive Neutrinos
Jeremiah Birrell, Johann Rafelski
We present a novel method for detecting the relic neutrino background that takes advantage of structured quantum degeneracy to amplify the drag force from neutrinos scattering off…
Possibility of Electroweak Phase Transition at Low Temperature
Jeremiah Birrell, Johann Rafelski
We study models of strong first order `low' temperature electroweak phase transition. To achieve this we propose a class of Higgs effective potential models which preserve the know…
