Gravitational Production of Completely Dark Photons with Nonminimal Couplings to Gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Christian Capanelli, Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb, Evan McDonough, | Summary: Dark photons are a theorized massive spin-1 particle which can be produced via various mechanisms, including cosmological gravitational particle production (GPP) in the early universe. In this work, we extend previous results for GPP of […]

Probing ultrafast magnetization dynamics via synthetic axion fields

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Leon Shaposhnikov, Eduardo Barredo-Alamilla, Frank Wilczek, Maxim A. Gorlach, | Summary: Spatial structuring of materials at subwavelength scales underlies the concept of metamaterials possessing exotic properties beyond those of the constituent media. Temporal modulation of material parameters enables further functionalities. Here, we show that high-frequency oscillations of […]
