gr-qc/0603050 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Exact scaling solutions and fixed points for general scalar field
Authors: Yungui Gong, Anzhong Wang, Yuan-Zhong Zhang
Comments: 11 pages, no figure,v2: update references,accepted for publication in Phys. Lett. B

We show that the most general dark energy model that possesses a scaling solution $\rho_\phi\propto a^n$ is the k-essence model, which includes both of the quintessence and tachyon models. The exact scaling solutions are then derived. The potential that gives the tracking solution in which dark energy exactly tracks the background matter field is the inverse squared potential. The quintessence field with exponential potential can be obtained from the k-essence field with the inverse squared potential. We also find the fixed points and study their main properties, whereby the scalar field dominant fixed point is identified.
hep-ph/0604045 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Space-time propagation of neutrino wave packets at high temperature and density
Authors: C. M. Ho, D. Boyanovsky
Comments: 23 pages

We study the space-time evolution of ``flavor'' neutrino wave-packets at finite temperature and density in the early Universe prior to BBN. We implement non-equilibrium field theory methods and linear response to study the space-time evolution directly from the effective Dirac equation in the medium. There is a rich hierarchy of time scales associated with transverse and longitudinal dispersion and coherence. A phenomenon of ``freezing of coherence'' is a result of a competition between longitudinal dispersion and the separation of wave-packets of propagating modes in the medium. Near a resonance the coherence and oscillation time scales are enhanced by a factor $1/\sin2\theta$ compared to the vacuum. Collisional relaxation via charged and neutral currents occurs on time scales much shorter than the coherence time scale and for small vacuum mixing angle, shorter than the oscillation scale. Assuming that the momentum spread of the initial wave packet is determined by the large angle scattering mean free path of charged leptons, we find that the transverse dispersion time scale is the shortest and is responsible for a large suppression in both the survival and transition probabilities on time scales much shorter than the Hubble time. For small mixing angle the oscillation time scale is \emph{longer} than the collisional relaxation scale. The method also yields the evolution of right-handed wave packets. Corrections to the oscillation frequencies emerge from wave-packet structure as well as from the energy dependence of mixing angles in the medium.

gr-qc/0604031 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: The Homogeneous Scalar Field and the Wet Dark Sides of the Universe
Authors: Alberto Diez-Tejedor, Alexander Feinstein
Comments: 8 pages, two columns, no figures, REVTeX style

We study the possibility that a generalised real scalar field minimally coupled to gravity could explain both the galactic and the cosmological dark components of the universe. Within the framework of Einstein's Relativity we model static galactic halos by considering the most general action built from the scalar field and its first derivatives. Although the gravitational configuration is static, the scalar field may be either static, or homogeneous and linear in time. In the case of the static scalar field, the models we look at inevitably posses unphysical negative energies, and we are led to a sort of no-go result. In the case of the homogeneous scalar field, on the contrary, we find that compact objects with flat rotational curves and with the mass and the size of a typical galaxy can be successfully modeled. We further show that the homogeneous scalar field deduced from the galactic halo spacetimes has an action compatible with the kinetic Unified Dark Matter models recently proposed by Scherrer. Therefore, such a homogeneous kinetic Unified Dark Matter not only may correctly mimic the galactic dynamics, but could also be used to model the present-day accelerated expansion in the universe.

Authors: Maxim Dvornikov
Comments: RevTeX4, 9 pages, 1 esp figure; article was revised, some misprints were corrected, 6 references added; accepted for publication in Int.J.Mod.Phys.D

We study neutrino spin oscillations in gravitational fields. The quasi-classical approach is used to describe the neutrino spin evolution. First we examine the case of a weak gravitational field. We obtain the effective Hamiltonian for the description of neutrino spin oscillations. We also receive the neutrino transition probability when a particle propagates in the gravitational field of a rotating massive object. Then we apply the general technique to the description of neutrino spin oscillations in the Schwarzschild metric. The neutrino spin evolution equation for the case of the neutrino motion in the vicinity of a black hole is obtained. The effective Hamiltonian and the transition probability are also derived. We examine the neutrino oscillations process on different circular orbits and analyze the frequencies of spin transitions. The validity of the quasi-classical approach is also considered.
hep-ph/0604063 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Leptogenesis in a model of Dark Energy and Dark Matter
Authors: P. Q. Hung
Comments: 10 double-column pages, 3 figures

A recent model of dark energy and dark matter was proposed, involving a new gauge group $SU(2)_Z$ whose coupling grows strong at a scale $\Lambda_Z \sim 10^{-3} eV$, a result which is obtained from a simple assumption that its initial value at some high energy scale $M \sim 10^{16} GeV$ is of the order of a typical Standard Model (SM) coupling at a similar scale. (This assumption comes naturally from an embedding of $SU(2)_Z$ and the SM into a grand unified group $E_6$.) It is found that the proposed model contains a SM lepton-number violating Yukawa coupling involving a scalar ``messenger field'' ${\tilde{\bm{\phi}}}^{(Z)}$ (which carries both $SU(2)_Z$ and electroweak quantum numbers), a $SU(2)_Z$ fermion $\psi^{(Z)}$ and a SM lepton $l$. The interference between the tree-level and one-loop decay amplitude for ${\tilde{\bm{\phi}}}^{(Z)} \to \psi^{(Z)} + l$ generates a SM lepton asymmetry which is subsequently converted into a baryon asymmetry through electroweak sphaleron processes. This constrains the mass of the messenger field to be less than $1 TeV$, making it accessible to searches at future colliders: the ``progenitor'' of a net lepton number (and hence a net baryon number) could possibly be found and identified experimentally.

Authors: A. Bret
Comments: 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in EuroPhysics Letters
Subj-class: Plasma Physics

We present an investigation of the electromagnetic instabilities which are trig gered when an ultra relativistic electron beam passes through a plasma. The linear growth rate is computed for every direction of propagation of the unstable modes, and temperatures are modelled using simple waterbag distribution functions. The ultra relativistic unstable spectrum is located around a very narrow band centered on a critical angle which value is given analytically. The growth rate of modes propagating in this direction decreases like k^(-1/3).

gr-qc/0602055 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Acceleration from M theory and Fine-tuning
Authors: Yungui Gong, Anzhong Wang
Comments: 9 pages, 3 figures, use iopart, v2; references updated, accepted for publication in Class. Quantum Grav

The compactification of M theory with time dependent hyperbolic internal space gives an effective scalar field with exponential potential which provides a transient acceleration in Einstein frame in four dimensions. Ordinary matter and radiation are present in addition to the scalar field coming from compactification. We find that we have to fine-tune the initial conditions of the scalar field so that our Universe experiences acceleration now. During the evolution of our Universe, the volume of the internal space increases about 12 times. The time variation of the internal space results in a large time variation of the fine structure constant which violates the observational constraint on the variation of the fine structure constant. The large variation of the fine structure constant is a generic feature of transient acceleration models.
gr-qc/0604032 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Binary black hole detection rates in inspiral gravitational wave searches
Authors: Chris Van Den Broeck
Comments: 9 pages, 1 figure

The signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) for binary black hole inspirals computed from restricted post-Newtonian waveforms are compared with those attained by more complete post-Newtonian signals, which are superpositions of amplitude-corrected harmonics of the orbital phase. It is shown that modeling signals as restricted waveforms can lead to a large overestimation of SNRs, and hence of detection rates. The effect results entirely from the absence of amplitude corrections to the dominant harmonic. By reinstating these, it is possible to construct reliable waveforms for simulated signals without having to include higher harmonics.
gr-qc/0604049 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Evolutionary Quantum Dynamics of a Generic Universe
Authors: M.V.Battisti, G.Montani
Comments: 7 pages, to appear on Phys. Lett. B

The implications of an Evolutionary Quantum Gravity are addressed in view of formulating a new dark matter candidate. We consider a Schr\"odinger dynamics for the gravitational field associated to a generic cosmological model and then we solve the corresponding eigenvalues problem, inferring its phenomenological issue for the actual Universe. The spectrum of the super-Hamiltonian is determined including a free inflaton field, the ultrarelativistic thermal bath and a perfect gas into the dynamics. We show that, when a Planckian cut-off is imposed in the theory and the classical limit of the ground state is taken, then a dark matter contribution can not arise because its critical parameter $\Omega_{dm}$ is negligible today when the appropriate cosmological implementation of the model is provided. Thus, we show that, from a phenomenological point of view, an Evolutionary Quantum Cosmology overlaps the Wheeler-DeWitt approach and therefore it can be inferred as appropriate to describe early stages of the Universe without significant traces on the later evolution. Finally, we provide indications that the horizon paradox can be solved in the Planck era by the morphology of the Universe wave function.

Comments: A trivial but important correction: the universal coefficient is 4/9 instead of 4/15. A reference with the same analytical result is supplemented. Submitted for publication
Subj-class: Nuclear Theory; Statistical Mechanics; Strongly Correlated Electrons

A relativistic continuum massive Proca QED-like Lagrange is constructed for the strongly correlating physics in terms of the in-medium Lorentz violation. The (generalized) Thomson Problem is taken as a nonperturbative tool to address the equation of state including the low energy nonlinear quantum fluctuation/correlation effects within the framework of the established finite temperate field theory. The concise expressions for the pressure and energy density functional at both finite temperature and density are obtained. Analytically, in the non-relativistic limit, the dimensionless universal coefficient is $\xi =4/9$ for the $T\to 0$ regime, which is exactly consistent with the quantum Monte Carlo calculations\refr{physics/0303094} and relevant experimental results([9] of Ref.\refr{cond-mat/0404687}).

Authors: Jérôme Margueron (IPNO), Jesus Navarro (IFIC), Nguyen Van Giai (IPNO)

The effects of the spin-orbit component of the particle-hole interaction on nuclear response functions and neutrino mean free path are examined. A complete treatment of the full Skyrme interaction in the case of symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter is given. Numerical results for neutron matter are discussed. It is shown that the effects of the spin-orbit interaction remain small, even at momentum transfer larger than the Fermi momentum. The neutrino mean free paths are marginally affected.

gr-qc/0604028 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: f(R) gravity and scalar-tensor theory
Authors: Thomas P. Sotiriou

In the present paper we will investigate the relation between scalar-tensor theory and $f(R)$ theories of gravity. Such studies have been performed in the past for the metric formalism of $f(R)$ gravity; here we will consider mainly the Palatini formalism, where the metric and the connections are treated as independent quantities. We will try to investigate under which circumstances $f(R)$ theories of gravity are equivalent to scalar-tensor theory and examine the implications of this equivalence, when it exists.

Comments: 12 pages, 8 figures

We consider scalar and axial gravitational perturbations of black hole solutions in brane world scenarios. We show that perturbation dynamics is surprisingly similar to the Schwarzschild case with strong indications that the models are stable. Quasinormal modes and late-time tails are discussed. We also study the thermodynamics of these scenarios verifying the universality of Bekenstein's entropy bound as well as the applicability of 't Hooft's brickwall method.

Authors: W. C. Haxton, Robert Holtz, Philip Long, J. F. Wilkerson
Comments: 23 pages, 10 figures

We argue for a cost-effective, long-term North American underground science strategy based on partnership with Canada and initial construction of a modest U.S. Stage I laboratory designed to complement SNOLab. We show, by reviewing the requirements of detectors now in the R&D phase, that SNOLab and a properly designed U.S. Stage I facility would be capable of meeting the needs of North America's next wave of underground experiments. We discuss one opportunity for creating a Stage I laboratory, the Pioneer tunnel in Washington State, a site that could be developed to provide dedicated, clean, horizontal access. This unused tunnel, part of the deepest (1040 m) tunnel system in the U.S., would allow the U.S. to establish, at low risk and low cost, a laboratory at a depth (2.12 km.w.e., or kilometers of water equivalent) quite similar to that of the Japanese laboratory Kamioka (2.04 km.w.e.). We describe studies of cosmic ray attenuation important to properly locating such a laboratory, and the tunnel improvements that would be required to produce an optimal Stage I facility. We also discuss possibilities for far-future Stage II (3.62 km.w.e.) and Stage III (5.00 km.w.e.) developments at the Pioneer tunnel, should future North American needs for deep space exceed that available at SNOLab.

gr-qc/0604056 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Stability of general relativistic static thick disks: the isotropic Schwarzschild thick disk
Authors: Maximiliano Ujevic, Patricio S. Letelier
Comments: 17 pages

We study the stability of general relativistic static thick disks, as an application we consider the thick disk generated by applying the ``displace, cut, fill and reflect" method, usually known as the image method, to the Schwarzschild metric in isotropic coordinates. The isotropic Schwarzschild thick disk obtained from this method is the simplest model to describe, in the context of General Relativity, real thick galaxies. The stability under a general first order perturbation of the disk is investigated. The first order perturbation, when applying to the conservation equations, leads to a set of differential equations that are, in general, not self-consistent. This opens the possibility of performing various kinds of perturbations to transform the resulting system of equations into a self-consistent system. We perform a complete classification of the perturbations as well as the stability analysis for all the relevant physical perturbations. We found that, in general, the isotropic Schwarzschild thick disk is stable under these kinds of perturbations.
hep-ph/0603244 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Towards a successful reheating within supersymmetry
Authors: Rouzbeh Allahverdi, Anupam Mazumdar
Comments: 13 revtex pages, 2 tables

Motivated by Refs \cite{am1,am2}, we analyze how the inflaton decay reheats the Universe within supersymmetry. In a non-supersymmetric case the inflaton usually decays via preheating unless its couplings to other fields are very small. Naively one would expect that supersymmetry enhances bosonic preheating as it introduces new scalars such as squarks and sleptons. On the contrary, we point out that preheating is unlikely within supersymmetry. The reason is that flat directions in the scalar potential, classified by gauge invariant combinations of slepton and squark fields, are generically displaced towards a large vacuum expectation value (VEV) in the early Universe. They induce supersymmetry preserving masses to the inflaton decay products through the Standard Model Yukawa couplings, which kinematically blocks preheating for VEVs $> 10^{13}$ GeV. The decay will become allowed only after the flat directions start oscillating, and once the flat direction VEV is sufficiently redshifted. For models with weak scale supersymmetry, this generically happens at a Hubble expansion rate: $H \simeq (10^{-3}-10^{-1}) {\rm TeV}$, at which time the inflaton decays in the perturbative regime. This is to our knowledge first analysis where the inflaton decay to the Standard Model particles is treated properly within supersymmetry. There are number of important consequences: no overproduction of dangerous supersymmetric relics (particularly gravitinos), no resonant excitation of superheavy dark matter, and no non-thermal leptogenesis through non-perturbative creation of the right-handed (s)neutrinos. Finally supersymmetric flat directions can even spoil hybrid inflation all together by not allowing the auxiliary field become tachyonic.
physics/0604098 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: R-matrix calculation of electron collisions with electronically excited O2 molecules
Authors: Motomichi Tashiro, Keiji Morokuma, Jonathan Tennyson
Comments: 26 pages, 10 figures
Subj-class: Chemical Physics

Low-energy electron collisions with O$_2$ molecules are studied using the fixed-bond R-matrix method. In addition to the O$_2$ ${X}^3\Sigma_{g}^-$ ground state, integrated cross sections are calculated for elecron collisions with the ${a}^1\Delta_{g}$ and ${b}^1\Sigma_{g}^+$ excited states of O$_2$ molecules. 13 target electronic states of O$_2$ are included in the model within a valence configuration interaction representations of the target states. Elastic cross sections for the ${a}^1\Delta_{g}$ and ${b}^1\Sigma_{g}^+$ excited states are similar to the cross sections for the ${X}^3\Sigma_{g}^-$ ground state. As in case of excitation from the ${X}^3\Sigma_{g}^-$ state, the O$_2^-$ $\Pi_u$ resonance makes the dominant contribution to excitation cross sections from the ${a}^1\Delta_{g}$ and ${b}^1\Sigma_{g}^+$ states. The magnitude of excitation cross sections from the ${a}^1\Delta_{g}$ state to the ${b}^1\Sigma_{g}^+$ state is about 10 time larger than the corresponding cross sections from the ${X}^3\Sigma_{g}^-$ to the ${b}^1\Sigma_{g}^+$ state. For this ${a}^1\Delta_{g}$ $\to$ ${b}^1\Sigma_{g}^+$ transition, our cross section at 4.5 eV agrees well with the available experimental value. These results should be important for models of plasma discharge chemistry which often requires cross sections between the excited electronic states of O$_2$.
