Dark Matter As An Integral Part Of An Alternative Gravity Model, Hontas Farmer Apr 2014

Dark Matter As An Integral Part Of An Alternative Gravity Model, Hontas Farmer

Hontas F Farmer

The purpose of this paper is to reconcile observations of dark matter effects on the galactic and cosmological scales with the null results of astroparticle physics observations such as CDMS and ANTARES. This paper will also provide a candidate unified and simpler mathematical formulation for the Lambda CDM model. Unification is achieved by a combination of the f(R) approach, with the standard LCDM approach and inflationary models. It is postulated that dark matter-energy fields depend on the Ricci curvature R. Standard methods of classical and quantum field theory on curved space time are applied. When this model is treated as …


Polarimetry Studies For The Npdgamma Experiment At The Sns, Jonny Dadras Nov 2009

Polarimetry Studies For The Npdgamma Experiment At The Sns, Jonny Dadras

Jonny Dadras

The NPDGamma collaboration aims to measure a parity-violating directional gamma-ray asymmetry from the capture of polarized cold neutrons on protons. The asymmetry, predicted to be on the order of 50 ppb, is a result of the weak interaction between mesons and nucleons during the neutron capture reaction. The experiment is designed to make a statistics limited measurement of the asymmetry at the level of about 20%. The experiment will be carried out at the Fundamental neutron Physics Beamline (FnPB) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The neutron beam is polarized by a super-mirror polarizer. A 9.5 G magnetic field guides …


Quark-Antiquark Condensates In Strong Magnetic Fields, Alec Schramm, Berndt Muller, Stefan Schramm Apr 1992

Quark-Antiquark Condensates In Strong Magnetic Fields, Alec Schramm, Berndt Muller, Stefan Schramm

Alec J Schramm

We discuss the effect of large external magnetic fields on the QCD vacuum structure. We show that the deformed vacuum leads to substantial changes in the hadronic spectrum.


W Boson Condensation In P-P Collisions?, Alec Schramm, Stefan Schramm, Berndt Muller Feb 1992

W Boson Condensation In P-P Collisions?, Alec Schramm, Stefan Schramm, Berndt Muller

Alec J Schramm

We address the question of whether W+/- boson condensation can occur in high-energy collisions.

Higgs Boson Production In Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions: Coherent Double-Pomeron Exchange, Alec Schramm, Berndt Muller Dec 1990

Higgs Boson Production In Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions: Coherent Double-Pomeron Exchange, Alec Schramm, Berndt Muller

Alec J Schramm

Higgs boson production by coherent double-pomeron exchange in peripheral nuclear collisions at energies of several TeV per nucleon is calculated. It is shown that a trigger on quasi-elastic nuclear collisions strongly suppresses the cross section. The analogous two-photon process is predicted to dominate for collisions of heavy nuclei.
