Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Wei Yan, Ryan C. Hickox, Chien-Ting J. Chen, Claudio Ricci, Alberto Masini | Summary: In active galactic nuclei (AGN), fluorescent Fe K$alpha$ (iron) line emission is generally interpreted as originating from obscuring material around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) on the scale of a few parsecs (pc). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Djuna Croon, Eleanor Hall, Hitoshi Murayama, , | Summary: We propose a simple non-perturbative formalism for false vacuum decay using functional methods. We introduce the quasi-stationary effective action, a bounce action that non-perturbatively incorporates radiative corrections and is robust to strong couplings. The quasi-stationary effective action obeys […]
