hep-th/0610054 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Inflation without Inflaton(s)
Authors: Scott Watson, Malcolm J. Perry, Gordon L. Kane, Fred C. Adams
Comments: 13 pages, 3 eps figures

We propose a model for early universe cosmology without the need for fundamental scalar fields. Cosmic acceleration and phenomenologically viable reheating of the universe results from a series of energy transitions, where during each transition vacuum energy is converted to thermal radiation. We show that this `cascading universe' can lead to successful generation of adiabatic density fluctuations and an observable gravity wave spectrum in some cases, where in the simplest case it reproduces a spectrum similar to slow-roll models of inflation. We also find the model provides a reasonable reheating temperature after inflation ends. This type of model can also be used to explain the smallness of the vacuum energy today.

Authors: Alexander Zaitsev
Comments: 14 pages, 3 tables
Subj-class: Popular Physics; Space Physics

Throughout the entire history of terrestrial civilization, only four projects involving transmitting of interstellar radio messages (IRMs) have yet been fully developed and realized. Nevertheless, we should understand a simple thing -- if all civilizations in the Universe are only recipients, and not message-sending civilizations, than no SETI searches make any sense. We present the theory and methodology of composing and transmitting of future IRMs.

Comments: 4 pages, 2 figures. Submitted to Applied Physics Letters, August 25, 2006
Subj-class: Superconductivity

The surface impedance of a superconductor changes when energy is absorbed and Cooper pairs are broken to produce single electron (quasiparticle) excitations. This change may be sensitively measured using a thin-film resonant circuit called a microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID). The practical application of MKIDs for photon detection requires a method of efficiently coupling the photon energy to the MKID. We present results on position sensitive X-ray detectors made by using two aluminum MKIDs on either side of a tantalum photon absorber strip. Diffusion constants, recombination times, and energy resolution are reported. MKIDs can easily be scaled into large arrays.
hep-ph/0609126 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Right-Handed Sneutrino Condensate Cold Dark Matter and the Baryon-to-Dark Matter Ratio
Authors: John McDonald
Comments: 21 pages LaTeX, additional discussion and references, incorrect v.2 previously submitted

The similarity of the observed densities of baryons and cold dark matter suggests that they have a common or related origin. This can be understood in the context of the MSSM with right-handed (RH) sneutrinos if cold dark matter is due to a d = 4 flat direction condensate of very weakly coupled RH sneutrino LSPs and the baryon asymmetry is generated by Affleck-Dine leptogenesis along the d = 4 (H_{u}L)^{2} flat direction. The correct density of RH sneutrino dark matter is obtained if the reheating temperature is in the range 10^{6}-10^{8} GeV. A cold dark matter isocurvature perturbation close to present observational bounds is likely in the case of inflation driven by a D-term or by an F-term with suppressed Hubble corrections to the A-terms. An observable baryon isocurvature perturbation is also possible in the case of D-term inflation models.
hep-ph/0610070 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: CPT-odd Leptogenesis
Authors: Pavel A. Bolokhov, Maxim Pospelov
Comments: 19 pages, 4 figures

We calculate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe resulting from the combination of higher-dimensional Lorentz-noninvariant CPT-odd operators and dimension five operators that induce the majorana mass for neutrinos. The strength of CPT-violating dimension five operators capable of producing the observed value of baryon abundance is directly related to neutrino masses and found to be in the trans-Planckian range (10^{-24}-10^{-22}) GeV^{-1}. Confronting it with observational tests of Lorentz symmetry, we find that this range of Lorentz/CPT violation is strongly disfavored by the combination of the low-energy constraints and astrophysical data.

Authors: Prashanth Jaikumar (Ohio U., Argonne (PHY)), Bradley S. Meyer (Clemson U.), Kaori Otsuki (U. Chicago), Rachid Ouyed (U. Calgary)
Comments: 12 pages, 9 figures

We explore heavy-element nucleosynthesis by rapid neutron capture (r-process) in the decompressing ejecta from the surface of a neutron star. The decompression is triggered by a violent phase transition to strange quark matter (quark-nova scenario). The presence of neutron-rich large Z nuclei (40,95)<(Z,A)<(70,177), the large neutron-to-seed ratio, and the low electron fraction Ye ~ 0.03 in the decompressing ejecta present favorable conditions for the r-process. We perform network calculations that are adapted to the quark-nova conditions, and which mimic usual (n-\gamma) equilibrium r-process calculations during the initially cold decompression phase. They match to dynamical r-process calculations at densities below neutron drip (4x10^11 g/cc). We present results for the final element abundance distribution with and without heating from nuclear reactions, and compare to the solar abundance pattern of r-process elements. We highlight the distinguishing features of quark-novae by contrasting it with conventional nucleosynthesis sites such as type II supernovae and neutron star mergers, especially in the context of heavy-element compositions of extremely metal-deficient stars.

Authors: Przemyslaw Malkiewicz, Wlodzimierz Piechocki
Comments: 19 pages, 7 figures, revtex4, added references, version accepted for publication in Class. Quantum Grav

We examine the transition of a particle across the singularity of the compactified Milne (CM) space. Quantization of the phase space of a particle and testing the quantum stability of its dynamics are consistent to one another. One type of transition of a quantum particle is described by a quantum state that is continuous at the singularity. It indicates the existence of a deterministic link between the propagation of a particle before and after crossing the singularity. Regularization of the CM space leads to the dynamics similar to the dynamics in the de Sitter space. The CM space is a promising model to describe the cosmological singularity deserving further investigation by making use of strings and membranes.

Authors: J.C. Bueno Sanchez, K. Dimopoulos, David H. Lyth
Comments: 7 pages, 3 figures

The parameter space for A-term inflation is explored with $W=\lambda_p \phi^p/(p M_P^{p-3})$. With p=6 and \lambda_p~1, the observed spectrum and spectral tilt can be obtained with soft mass of order 10^2 GeV but not with a much higher mass. The case p=3 requires \lambda_p~10^{-9} to 10^{-12}. The ratio m/A requires fine-tuning, which may be justified on environmental grounds. An extension of the MSSM to include non-renormalizable terms and/or Dirac neutrino masses might support either A-term inflation or modular inflation.

Comments: 8 LaTex pages, 5 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the workshop dsu2006, Madrid June 20-24

The event rates for the direct detection of dark matter for various types of WIMPs are presented. In addition to the neutralino of SUSY models, we considered other candidates (exotic scalars as well as particles in Kaluza-Klein and technicolour theories) with masses in the TeV region. Then one finds reasonable branching ratios to excited states. Thus the detection of the WIMP can be made not only by recoil measurements, but by measuring the de-excitation $\gamma$-rays as well.

gr-qc/0610047 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Testing General Relativity with Atom Interferometry
Authors: Savas Dimopoulos, Peter W. Graham, Jason M. Hogan, Mark A. Kasevich
Comments: 4 pages, 1 figure
Subj-class: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology; Atomic Physics

The unprecedented precision of atom interferometry will soon lead to laboratory tests of general relativity to levels that will rival or exceed those reached by astrophysical observations. We propose such an experiment that will initially test the equivalence principle to 1 part in 10^15 (300 times better than the current limit), and 1 part in 10^17 in the future. It will also probe general relativistic effects--such as the non-linear three-graviton coupling, the gravity of an atom's kinetic energy, and the falling of light--to several decimals. Further, in contrast to astrophysical observations, laboratory tests can isolate these effects via their different functional dependence on experimental variables.

Authors: A. Li (Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou, China), G.F. Burgio (INFN Catania, Italy), U. Lombardo (INFN-LNS Catania, Italy), W. Zuo (Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou, China)
Comments: 9 pages, 7 figures, accepted in Phys. Rev. C

We investigate the composition and the equation of state of the kaon condensed phase in neutrino-free and neutrino-trapped star matter within the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach with three-body forces. We find that neutrino trapping shifts the onset density of kaon condensation to a larger baryon density, and reduces considerably the kaon abundance. As a consequence, when kaons are allowed, the equation of state of neutrino-trapped star matter becomes stiffer than the one of neutrino free matter. The effects of different three-body forces are compared and discussed. Neutrino trapping turns out to weaken the role played by the symmetry energy in determining the composition of stellar matter, and thus reduces the difference between the results obtained by using different three-body forces.

Subj-class: Physics Education

Beginning in autumn 2008 the first generation of astronomy master students will start a 2 year course in Astrophysics offered by the Physics department of the University of Split, Croatia (this http URL). This unique master course in South-Eastern Europe, following the Bologna convention and given by astronomers from international institutions, offers a series of comprehensive lectures designed to greatly enhance students' knowledge and skills in astrophysics, and prepare them for a scientific career. An equally important aim of the course is to recognise the areas in which astronomy and astrophysics can serve as a national asset and to use them to prepare young people for real life challenges, enabling graduates to enter the modern society as a skilled and attractive work-force. In this contribution, I present an example of a successful organisation of international astrophysics studies in a developing country, which aims to become a leading graduate program in astrophysics in the broader region. I will focus on the benefits of the project showing why and in what way astronomy can be interesting for third world countries, what are the benefits for the individual students, nation and region, but also research, science and the astronomical community in general.

gr-qc/0610049 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Absolute Being vs Relative Becoming
Authors: Joy Christian (Perimeter and Oxford)
Comments: 34 pages; To appear in Relativity and the Dimensionality of the World (within the series Fundamental Theories of Physics), edited by V. Petkov (Springer, NY 2007)

Contrary to our immediate and vivid sensation of past, present, and future as continually shifting non-relational modalities, time remains as tenseless and relational as space in all of the established theories of fundamental physics. Here an empirically adequate generalized theory of the inertial structure is discussed in which proper time is causally compelled to be tensed within both spacetime and dynamics. This is accomplished by introducing the inverse of the Planck time at the conjunction of special relativity and Hamiltonian mechanics, which necessitates energies and momenta to be invariantly bounded from above, and lengths and durations similarly bounded from below, by their respective Planck scale values. The resulting theory abhors any form of preferred structure, and yet captures the transience of now along timelike worldlines by causally necessitating a genuinely becoming universe. This is quite unlike the scenario in Minkowski spacetime, which is prone to a block universe interpretation. The minute deviations from the special relativistic effects such as dispersion relations and Doppler shifts predicted by the generalized theory remain quadratically suppressed by the Planck energy, but may nevertheless be testable in the near future, for example via observations of oscillating flavor ratios of ultrahigh energy cosmic neutrinos, or of altering pulse rates of extreme energy binary pulsars.
hep-ph/0610116 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Proton Decay in Teravolt Unification
Authors: P.H. frampton
Comments: 4 pages latex

Model building based on abelian quiver gauge theories gives models which resemble trinification, originally proposed with yottavolt unification. However, unification occurs in the teravolt range so proton decay must be completely excluded in the scalar sector. It is straightforward to accomplish this by a discrete symmetry which is a generalized baryon number B. Unlike in trinification, this is possible because quarks and leptons acquire masses from relevant operators which appear in four-dimensional conformal symmetry breaking.
hep-ph/0610119 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: New Interpretation of the Observational Matter Asymmetry
Authors: Rong-Gen Cai, Tong Li, Xue-Qian Li, Xun Wang
Comments: 9 pages, 4 figures and 2 tables

Motivated by the AMS project, we assume that due to some reason which is not known so far, after the Big Bang or inflation epoch, antimatter was repelled onto one brane which is separated from our brane where all the observational matter resides. We suppose that there is a potential barrier at the brane boundary, which is similar to the surface tension for water membrane. The barrier prevents the mater particles to enter the space between two branes and jump from one brane to another. However, by the quantum tunnelling, a sizable anti-matter flux may come to our brane and be observed by the Alpha-Magnetic-Spectrometer (AMS). The matter and antimatter on the two branes attract each other via gravitational force. Following literature we consider a possibility that a scalar field existing in the space between the branes causes a Casimir effect which results in a repulsive force against the gravitation. We find that the Casimir force is much stronger than the gravitational force, as long as the separation of the two branes is small, thus at early epoch after the Big Bang, the two branes were closer and then have been separated by the Casimir repulsive force from each other, and the trend will continue till the separation is sufficiently large and then the gravitational force observed in our four-space would obviously deviate from the Newton's universal gravitational law. In this work by considering two possible models, i.e. the naive flat space-time and Randall-Sundrum models and using the observational data on the visible matter in our universe as inputs, we derive the antimatter flux which comes to our detector in the non-relativistic approximation and make a rough numerical estimate of possible numbers of anti-helium at AMS.
hep-th/0609126 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Conventional cosmology from multidimensional models
Authors: A.I.Zhuk
Comments: 16 pages, LaTeX, 14th International Seminar on High Energy Physics "QUARKS-2006" in St. Petersburg, references and footnotes added

We investigate a possibility for construction of the conventional Friedmann cosmology for our observable Universe if underlying theory is multidimensional Kaluza-Klein model endowed with a perfect fluid. We show that effective Friedmann model obtained by dynamical compactification of the multidimensional one is faced with too strong variations of the fundamental "constants". From other hand, models with stable compactification of the internal space are free from this problem and also result in conventional 4D cosmological behavior for our Universe. We prove a no-go theorem which shows that stable compactification of the internal spaces is possible only if equations of state in the external and internal spaces are properly adjusted to each other. With a proper choice of parameters (fine tuning), effective cosmological constant in this model provides the late time acceleration of the Universe. The fine tuning problem is resolved in the case of the internal spaces in the form of orbifolds with branes in fixed points. However, in this case the effective potential is too flat (mass gravexcitons is very small) to provide necessary constancy of the effective fundamental "constants".
