Säntis Lightning Research Facility Instrumentation

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Antonio Sunjerga, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Carlos Alberto Romero Romero, Davide Pavanello, Abraham Rubinstein, David Smith

The Säntis Tower was instrumented in May 2010 to measure currents of lightning discharges striking the tower. Since then the system has been recurrently updated and expanded. Currently, data associated with lightning strikes to the tower are collected at f ...

Mixed scalar-current bootstrap in three dimensions

Alessandro Vichi, Marten Jan Reehorst

We study the mixed system of correlation functions involving a scalar field charged under a global U(1) symmetry and the associated conserved spin-1 current J(mu). Using numerical bootstrap techniques we obtain bounds on new observables not accessible in t ...

Aspects of Gauge Theories Vacua

Adrien Florio

This thesis is concerned with gauge theories, their complicated vacuum and resulting effects. After an introduction to the subject, it is divided into four parts. Firstly, we treat the problem of chiral charge dynamics at finite temperature. Quantum field ...

Nonlinear dynamics of energetic-particle driven geodesic acoustic modes in ASDEX Upgrade

Laurent Villard, Emmanuel Lanti, Alberto Bottino, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana, Emanuele Poli

Turbulence in tokamaks generates radially sheared zonal flows. Their oscillatory counterparts, geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs), appear due to the action of the magnetic field curvature. The GAMs can be driven unstable by an anisotropic energetic particle (E ...

The large charge expansion and AdS/CFT

Anton Reyes De La Fuente, Jann Zosso

The scaling dimensions of charged operators in conformal field theory were recently computed in a large charge expansion. We verify this expansion in a dual AdS model. Specifically, we numerically construct solitonic boson star solutions of Einstein-Maxwel ...

What do gravitons say about (unimodular) gravity?

Mario Herrero Valea

We revisit the problem of constraining the weak field limit of the gravitational lagrangian from S-matrix properties. From unitarity and Lorentz invariance of the S-matrix of massless gravitons, we derive on-shell gauge invariance to consist on the transve ...

A one-step mechanism for new twinning modes in magnesium and titanium alloys modelled by the obliquity correction of a (58 degrees, a+2b) prototype stretch twin

Cyril Cayron

The {11-22} and {11-26} twinning modes were recently discovered by Ostapovets et al. [Philos. Mag. (2017), 97, 1088-1101] and interpreted as {10-12}-{10-12} double twins formed by the simultaneous action of two twinning shears. Another interpretation is pr ...

Quasi-elastic neutrino reactions on carbon and lead nuclei

Soheyl Massoudi

We examine neutral-current quasi-elastic neutrino-nucleus reactions on C-12 and Pb-208 targets. We use the relativistic mean field theory approach to describe the nuclear dynamics. We compute the cross sections for the scattering of 150, 500 and 1000 MeV n ...

Mapping the conformational free energy of aspartic acid in the gas phase and in aqueous solution

Michele Ceriotti, Kevin Rossi

The conformational free energy landscape of aspartic acid, a proteogenic amino acid involved in a wide variety of biological functions, was investigated as an example of the complexity that multiple rotatable bonds produce even in relatively simple molecul ...

Classical Force Fields Tailored for QM Applications: Is It Really a Feasible Strategy?

Oliviero Andreussi

Classical molecular dynamics is more and more often coupled to quantum mechanical based techniques as a statistical tool to sample configurations of molecular systems embedded in complex environments. Nonetheless, the classical potentials describing the mo ...
