Metastability In Two Dimensions And The Effective Potential, Mark Alford, Marcelo Gleiser
Metastability In Two Dimensions And The Effective Potential, Mark Alford, Marcelo Gleiser
Dartmouth Scholarship
We study analytically and numerically the decay of a metastable phase in (2+1)-dimensional classical scalar field theory coupled to a heat bath, which is equivalent to two-dimensional Euclidean quantum field theory at zero temperature. By a numerical simulation we obtain the nucleation barrier as a function of the parameters of the potential, and compare it to the theoretical prediction from the bounce (critical bubble) calculation. We find the nucleation barrier to be accurately predicted by theory using the bounce configuration obtained from the tree-level (“classical”) effective action. Within the range of parameters probed, we found that using the bounce derived …
Distinguishing A Charged Higgs Signal From A Heavy Wr Signal, David I. Kaiser
Distinguishing A Charged Higgs Signal From A Heavy Wr Signal, David I. Kaiser
Dartmouth Scholarship
It is shown that non-Standard Model bosons should obey an observable asymmetry in their decays to taus. This asymmetry enables a distinction to be made between charged Higgsboson signalsand heavy right-handed Wboson signals,by reconstructing the orientation of the z with respect to the beam axis.
Selective Decay And Coherent Vortices In Two-Dimensional Incompressible Turbulence, William H. Matthaeus, W. Troy Stribling, Daniel Martinez, Sean Oughton, David Montgomery
Selective Decay And Coherent Vortices In Two-Dimensional Incompressible Turbulence, William H. Matthaeus, W. Troy Stribling, Daniel Martinez, Sean Oughton, David Montgomery
Dartmouth Scholarship
Numerical solution of two-dimensional incompressible hydrodynamics shows that states of a near-minimal ratio of enstrophy to energy can be attained in times short compared with the flow decay time, confirming the simplest turbulent selective decay conjecture, and suggesting that coherent vortex structures do not terminate nonlinear processes. After all possible vortex mergers occur, the vorticity attains a particlelike character, suggested by the late-time similarity of the streamlines to Ewald potential contours.
