Measuring the brightness of classical noise dominated light at the shot noise limit?

Richard Lieu, T. W. B. Kibble

A recent claim by Lieu et al that beam splitter intensity subtraction (or homodyne with one vacuum port) followed by high resolution sampling can lead to detection of brightness of…

History of electroweak symmetry breaking

T. W. B. Kibble

In this talk, I recall the history of the development of the unified electroweak theory, incorporating the symmetry-breaking Higgs mechanism, as I saw it from my standpoint as a me…

A method to improve the sensitivity of radio telescopes

Richard Lieu, Tom W. B. Kibble, Lingze Duan

As an extension of the ideas of Hanbury-Brown and Twiss, a method is proposed to eliminate the phase noise of white chaotic light in the regime where it is dominant, and to measure…

A natural origin of primordial density perturbations

Richard Lieu, T. W. B. Kibble

We suggest here a mechanism for the seeding of the primordial density fluctuations. We point out that a process like reheating at the end of inflation will inevitably generate pert…

Formation of Non-Abelian Monopoles Connected by Strings

Yifung Ng, T. W. B. Kibble, Tanmay Vachaspati

We study the formation of monopoles and strings in a model where SU(3) is spontaneously broken to U(2)=[SU(2)\times U(1)]/\ZZ_2, and then to U(1). The first symmetry breaking gener…

On the Collision of Cosmic Superstrings

E. J. Copeland, H. Firouzjahi, T. W. B. Kibble +1

We study the formation of three-string junctions between (p,q)-cosmic superstrings, and collisions between such strings and show that kinematic constraints analogous to those found…
