Detecting a long lived false vacuum with quantum quenches

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Gianluca Lagnese, Federica Maria Surace, Sid Morampudi, Frank Wilczek, | Summary: Distinguishing whether a system supports alternate low-energy (locally stable) states — stable (true vacuum) versus metastable (false vacuum) — by direct observation can be difficult when the lifetime of the state is very long but otherwise […]

Radio Pulsar B0950$+$08: Radiation in Magnetosphere and Sparks above Surface

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Zhengli Wang, Jiguang Lu, Jinchen Jiang, Shunshun Cao, Kejia Lee | Summary: We observed the nearby 100$%$-duty-cycle radio pulsar B0950+08 using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). We obtained the polarization profile for its entire rotation, which enabled us to investigate its magnetospheric radiation geometry and […]

Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays “Treasure Maps”: a new methodology to unveil the nature of cosmic accelerators

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: NoĆ©mie Globus, Anatoli Fedynitch, Roger Blandford, , | Summary: Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays, EECRs — cosmic rays with energies beyond the GZK cutoff (i.e. greater than 100 EeV) are scarce. Only a few of such events have been detected by air shower experiments and the nature of […]
