Spatially resolved magnetization in the Bose-Einstein condensed state of BaCuSi2O6: Evidence for imperfect frustration

In order to understand the nature of the two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensed (BEC) phase in BaCuSi2O6, we performed detailed Cu-63 and Si-29 NMR above the critical magnetic field, H-c1 = 23.4 T. The two different alternating layers present in the syste ...

Unificaxion

Riccardo Rattazzi

Dark matter, gauge coupling unification, and the strong CP problem find a common and simple solution (in the absence of naturalness) within axion models. We show that such a solution, even without specifying the details of the model implementation, makes t ...

Antiferromagnetic Spin-S Chains with Exactly Dimerized Ground States

Frédéric Mila, Salvatore Manmana, Frédéric Alexis Michaud, François Vernay

We show that spin S Heisenberg spin chains with an additional three-body interaction of the form (Si-1 center dot S-i)(S-i center dot S-i (+) (1)) + H.c. possess fully dimerized ground states if the ratio of the three-body interaction to the bilinear one i ...

Conformal Regge theory

We generalize Regge theory to correlation functions in conformal field theories. This is done by exploring the analogy between Mellin amplitudes in AdS/CFT and S-matrix elements. In the process, we develop the conformal partial wave expansion in Mellin spa ...

Carving out the space of 4D CFTs

Alessandro Vichi

We introduce a new numerical algorithm based on semidefinite programming to efficiently compute bounds on operator dimensions, central charges, and OPT coefficients in 4D conformal and N = 1 superconformal field theories. Using our algorithm, we dramatical ...

The quantum mechanics of perfect fluids

Riccardo Rattazzi, Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We consider the canonical quantization of an ordinary fluid. The resulting long-distance effective field theory is derivatively coupled, and therefore strongly coupled in the UV. The system however exhibits a number of peculiarities, associated with the vo ...

One-loop adjoint masses for non-supersymmetric intersecting branes

Alessandro Vichi

We consider breaking of supersymmetry in intersecting D-brane configurations by slight deviation of the angles from their supersymmetric values. We compute the masses generated by radiative corrections for the ad joint scalars on the brane world-volumes. I ...

Higgs inflation: consistency and generalisations

Sergey Sibiryakov, Amaury Magnin

We analyse the self-consistency of inflation in the Standard Model, where the Higgs field has a large non-minimal coupling to gravity. We determine the domain of energies in which this model represents a valid effective field theory as a function of the ba ...

Automation of one-loop QCD computations

Valentin Hirschi

We present the complete automation of the computation of one-loop QCD corrections, including UV renormalization, to an arbitrary scattering process in the Standard Model. This is achieved by embedding the OPP integrand reduction technique, as implemented i ...

Betatron squeeze optimisation at the Large Hadron Collider based on first year of operation data

Xavier Buffat

In order to achieve the high luminosity expected from the Large Hadron Collider, the beta function at the interaction points must be minimised. As the aperture in the surroundings of the interaction points become smaller and smaller with decreasing beta fu ...
