    Planck Mass Rotons as Cold Dark Matter and Quintessence* F. Winterberg Department of Physics, University of Nevada, Reno, USA Reprint requests to Prof. F. W.; Fax: (775) 784-1398 Z. Naturforsch. 57a, 202–204 (2002); received January 3, 2002 According to the Planck aether hypothesis, the vacuum of space is a superfluid made up of Planck mass particles, with the particles of the standard model explained as quasiparticle – excitations of this superfluid. Astrophysical data suggests that ≈70% of the vacuum energy, called quintessence, is a neg- ative pressure medium, with ≈26% cold dark matter and the remaining ≈4% baryonic matter and radi- ation. This division in parts is about the same as for rotons in superfluid helium, in terms of the Debye energy with a ≈70% energy gap and ≈25% kinetic energy. Having the structure of small vortices, the rotons act like a caviton fluid with a negative pressure. Replacing the Debye energy with the Planck en- ergy, it is conjectured that cold dark matter and quintessence are Planck mass rotons with an energy be- low the Planck energy.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction and Overview
    Chapter 1 Introduction and Overview Particle physics is the most fundamental science there is. It is the study of the ultimate constituents of matter (the elementray particles) and of how these particles interact with one another (the fundamental forces). The primary aim of this module is to introduce you to what people mean when they refer to the Standard Model of Particle Physics To do this we need to describe the very small (via quantum mechanics) and the very fast since when elementary particles move, they travel at or close to the speed of light (via special relativity). These requirements demand we work in the language of Quantum Field Theory(QFT). QFT as a subject is a huge (and rather advanced) subject in its own right but thankfully we will be able to use a prescriptive (and rather simple) approach to the QFT which is embodied in the Feynman Rules - for those who want to go further into the theoretical structure of the Standard Model see module PX430 - Gauge Theories of Particle Physics. It is a remarkable fact that, theoretically, the fundamental interactions derive from an invariance of the QFT with respect to certain internal symmetry transformations known as local gauge transformations. The resulting dynamical theories of electromagnetism, the weak interaction and the strong interaction and known respectively as Quantum Elec- trodynamics(QED), the electroweak (or Glashow-Weinberg-Salam) theory and Quantum Chromodynamics(QCD). It is this collection of local gauge theories which have become known as the Standard Model(SM). N.B. Gravity plays a negligible role in Particle Physics and a workable quantum theory of gravity does not exist.

We analyze the problem of an identification of the chameleon field with quintessence, i.e., a canonical scalar field responsible for dark energy dynamics, and for the acceleration of the Universe’s expansion. We show that since the cosmological constant related to the relic dark energy density is induced by torsion (Astrophys. J. 2016, 829, 47), the chameleon field may, in principle, possess some properties of quintessence, such as an influence on the dark energy dynamics and the acceleration of the Universe’s expansion, even in the late-time acceleration, but it cannot be identified with quintessence to the full extent in the classical Einstein–Cartan gravitational theory.

In a straight- forward way, the matter Lagrangian contains background interaction fields, such as a 1-form field analogous to the electromagnetic vector potential and symmetric tensor for gravity. The geometric justification of the interaction field Lagrangians for the electromagnetic and gravitational interactions are emphasized. The generalization to E-dimensional extended objects (p-branes) embedded in a bulk space M is also discussed within the light of some familiar examples. The concept of fictitious accelerations due to un-proper time parametrization is introduced, and its implications are discussed. The framework naturally suggests new classical interaction fields beyond electromagnetism and gravity. The simplest model with such fields is analyzed and its relevance to dark matter and dark energy phenomena on large/cosmological scales is inferred. Unusual pathological behavior in the Newtonian limit is suggested to be a precursor of quantum effects and of inflation-like processes at microscopic scales. Citation: Gueorguiev, V.G.; Maeder, A.

  • Executive Summary Research Hub for Fundamental Symmetries
    Section A - Executive Summary Research Hub for Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrinos, and Applications to Nuclear Astrophysics: The Inner Space/Outer Space/Cyber Space Connections of Nuclear Physics Intellectual Merit: The first goal of this proposal is to create a coordinated NSF national theory effort at the nuclear physics core of three of the most exciting \discovery" areas of physics: ◦ Neutrino Physics: Beyond-the-standard model (BSM) physics of neutrinos, including their mixing phenomena on earth and in extreme astrophysical environments; the absolute mass scale and the eigenstate behavior under particle-antiparticle conjugation, and the implication of mass and lepton number violation for cosmological evolution; and the relevance of neutri- nos to astrophysics both in transporting energy and lepton number, and as a probe of the otherwise hidden physics that governs the cores of stars and compact objects. ◦ Dense Matter: The recent start of Advanced LIGO Run 1 could well lead to the observation of the gravitational wave signatures from neutron star (NS) mergers by the end of the decade. This follows the observation of a NS of nearly two solar masses by Shapiro delay, and of \black-widow" systems hinting of even higher masses. Current and anticipated observations provide unprecedented opportunities to determine nuclear matter properties at densities and isospins not otherwise reachable, and to relate them to those we measure in laboratory nuclei. ◦ Dark Matter: Definitive evidence that dark matter (DM) dominates our universe is the second demonstration of BSM physics. Nuclear physics can play an important role in this field by helping direct-detection experimenters understand the variety and nature of the possible responses of their nuclear targets, by connecting the stellar processes we study to the feedback mechanisms that can alter galactic structure, and by contributing to the understanding of composite dark matter in cases where lattice QCD methods are relevant.

  • Relativity Calculator Glossary
    Relativity Calculator Glossary . Relativity Calculator Web Relativity Calculator site Relativity Calculator Glossary Aberration [ aberration of (star)light, astronomical aberration, stellar aberration ]: An astronomical phenomenon different from the phenomenon of parallax whereby small apparent motion displacements of all fixed stars on the celestial sphere due to earth's orbital velocity mandates that terrestrial telescopes must also be adjusted to slightly different directions as the earth yearly transits the sun. Stellar aberration is totally independent of a star's distance from earth but rather depends upon the transverse velocity of an observer on earth, all of which is unlike the phenomenon of parallax. For example, vertically falling rain upon your umbrella will appear to come from in front of you the faster you walk and hence the more you will adjust the position of the umbrella to deflect the rain. Finally, the fact that earth does not drag with itself in its immediate vicinity any amount of aether helps dissuade the concept that indeed the aether exists. see celestial sphere; also see parallax which is a totally different phenomenon. Absolute motion, time and space by Isaac Newton: Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, by Isaac Newton, published July 5, 1687, translated from the original Latin by Andrew Motte ( 1729 ), as revised by Florian Cajori ( Berkeley, University of California Press, 1934): Beginning quote: § Absolute, true, and mathematical time, of itself and from its own nature, flows equably without relation to anything external, and by another name is called "duration"; relative, apparent, and common time is some sensible and external (whether accurate or unequable) measure of duration by the means of motion, which is commonly used instead of true time, such as an hour, a day, a month, a year.
