Decay law of magnetic turbulence with helicity balanced by chiral fermions

Kohei Kamada

In plasmas composed of massless electrically charged fermions, chirality can be interchanged with magnetic helicity while preserving the total chirality through the quantum chiral anomaly. The decay of turbulent energy in plasmas such as those in the early ...

CosmoLattice: A modern code for lattice simulations of scalar and gauge field dynamics in an expanding universe

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Adrien Florio, Wessel Valkenburg, Francisco Torrenti

This paper describes CosmoGattice, a modern package for lattice simulations of the dynamics of interacting scalar and gauge fields in an expanding universe. CosmoGattice incorporates a series of features that makes it very versatile and powerful: i) it is ...

Chiral magnetohydrodynamics with zero total chirality

Kohei Kamada

We study the evolution of magnetic fields coupled with chiral fermion asymmetry in the framework of chiral magnetohydrodynamics with zero initial total chirality. The initial magnetic field has a turbulent spectrum peaking at a certain characteristic scale ...

Anomalies from the covariant derivative expansion

Timothy Cohen

We revisit the calculation of chiral anomalies for global and gauge symmetries in the framework of the covariant derivative expansion (CDE). Due to the presence of UV divergences, the result is an ambiguous quantity that depends on the regularization proce ...

Freeze-in and freeze-out generation of lepton asymmetries after baryogenesis in the nu MSM

Shintaro Eijima

The nu MSM an extension of the Standard Model by three relatively light singlet Majorana fermions N-1,N-2,N-3 allows for the generation of lepton asymmetry which is several orders of magnitude larger than the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The ...

In relativistic magnetized plasmas, asymmetry in the number densities of left-and right-handed fermions, i.e., a nonzero chiral chemical potential mu(5), leads to an electric current along the magnetic field. This causes a chiral dynamo instability for a u ...

Search for relativistic fractionally charged particles in space

Jian Wang, Yi Zhang, Jennifer Maria Frieden, Chiara Perrina, Zhirui Xu, Siyuan Wang, Songmei Wu, Junqiu Liu, Johan Juul Chang, Jie Chen, Cheng Zhao, Wei Li, Yong Yang, Yi Wang, Hao Liu, Xiao Wang, Shuai Liu, Wenyu Zhang, Xuan Li, Yao Zhang, Ming Gao, Arshia Ruina, Andrii Kotenko

More than a century after the performance of the oil drop experiment, the possible existence of fractionally charged particles (FCPs) still remains unsettled. The search for FCPs is crucial for some extensions of the Standard Model in particle physics. Mos ...

Einstein-Cartan Portal to Dark Matter

Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Sebastian Zell

It is well known since the works of Utiyama and Kibble that the gravitational force can be obtained by gauging the Poincare group, which puts gravity on the same footing as the standard model fields. The resulting theory-Einstein-Cartan gravity-inevitably ...

Relic gravitational waves (GWs) can be produced by primordial magnetic fields. However, not much is known about the resulting GW amplitudes and their dependence on the details of the generation mechanism. Here we treat magnetic field generation through the ...
