Report of the Topical Group on Cosmic Probes of Fundamental Physics for for Snowmass 2021
Rana X. Adhikari, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ke Fang +118
Cosmic Probes of Fundamental Physics take two primary forms: Very high energy particles (cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gamma rays) and gravitational waves. Already today, these probe…
Evolution of Semilocal String Networks: II. Velocity estimators
A. Lopez-Eiguren, J. Urrestilla, A. Achúcarro +2
We continue a comprehensive numerical study of semilocal string networks and their cosmological evolution. These can be thought of as hybrid networks comprised of (non-topological)…
Stretching and Kibble scaling regimes for Hubble-damped defect networks
C. J. A. P. Martins, I. Yu. Rybak, A. Avgoustidis +1
The cosmological evolution of topological defect networks can broadly be divided into two stages. At early times they are friction-dominated due to particle scattering and therefor…
Physical and invariant models for defect network evolution
C. J. A. P. Martins, M. M. P. V. P. Cabral
We revisit the velocity-dependent one-scale model for topological defect evolution, and present a new alternative formulation in terms of a physical (rather than invariant) charact…
Extending the velocity-dependent one-scale model for domain walls
C. J. A. P. Martins, I. Yu. Rybak, A. Avgoustidis +1
We report on an extensive study of the evolution of domain wall networks in Friedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker universes by means of the largest currently available field-theory…
On the Stability of Fundamental Couplings in the Galaxy
S. M. João, C. J. A. P. Martins, I. S. A. B. Mota +1
Astrophysical tests of the stability of Nature's fundamental couplings are a key probe of the standard paradigms in fundamental physics and cosmology. In this report we discuss upd…
