Workshops take place in the picturesque town of Bled by the lake of the same name, surrounded by beautiful mountains and offering pleasant walks and mountaineering. This year was the 20th anniversary workshop. We celebrated this by offering a talk to the general audience of Bled with the title ”How far do we understand the Universe in this moment?”, given by Holger Bech Frits Nielsen in the lecture hall of the Bled School of Management. The lecture hall was kindly offered by the founder of the school Danica Purg. In our very open minded, friendly, cooperative, long, tough and demanding dis- cussions several physicists and even some mathematicians have contributed. Most of topics presented and discussed in our Bled workshops concern the proposals how to explain physics beyond the so far accepted and experimentally confirmed both standard models — in elementary particle physics and cosmology — in order to understand the origin of assumptions of both standard models and be consequently able to make predictions for future experiments. Although most of participants are theoretical physicists, many of them with their own sugges- tions how to make the next step beyond the accepted models and theories, and several knowing running experiments in details, the participants from the experi- mental laboratories were very appreciated, helping a lot to understand what do measurements really tell and which kinds of predictions can best be tested. The (long) presentations (with breaks and continuations over several days), fol- lowed by very detailed discussions, have been extremely useful, at least for the organizers. We hope and believe, however, that this is the case also for most of participants, including students. Many a time, namely, talks turned into very ped- agogical presentations in order to clarify the assumptions and the detailed steps, analyzing the ideas, statements, proofs of statements and possible predictions, confronting participants’ proposals with the proposals in the literature or with proposals of the other participants, so that all possible weak points of the propos- als showed up very clearly. The ideas therefore seem to develop in these years considerably faster than they would without our workshops. This year the gravitational waves were again confirmed, this time from two merg- ing neutron stars — the predicted possible source of heavy elements in the universe — measured also with the for a few second delayed electromagnetic signal. Such events offer new opportunity to be explained by theories, proposed and discussed in our workshops, showing the way beyond the standard models. This year particle physics experiments have not brought much new, although a lot of work and effort has been put in, but the news will hopefully come when further i i i i i i “proc17” — 2017/12/11 — 19:44 — page VIII — #8 i i analyses of the data gathered with 13 TeV on the LHC will be done. The analyses might show whether there are the new family to the observed three and the new scalar fields, which determine the higgs and the Yukawa couplings, as well as the heavy fifth family explaining the dark matter content, all these predicted by the spin-charge-family theory and discussed in this proceedings.

  • Path Integrals in Quantum Mechanics
    Path Integrals in Quantum Mechanics Dennis V. Perepelitsa MIT Department of Physics 70 Amherst Ave. Cambridge, MA 02142 Abstract We present the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and demon- strate its equivalence to the Schr¨odinger picture. We apply the method to the free particle and quantum harmonic oscillator, investigate the Euclidean path integral, and discuss other applications. 1 Introduction A fundamental question in quantum mechanics is how does the state of a particle evolve with time? That is, the determination the time-evolution ψ(t) of some initial | i state ψ(t ) . Quantum mechanics is fully predictive [3] in the sense that initial | 0 i conditions and knowledge of the potential occupied by the particle is enough to fully specify the state of the particle for all future times.1 In the early twentieth century, Erwin Schr¨odinger derived an equation specifies how the instantaneous change in the wavefunction d ψ(t) depends on the system dt | i inhabited by the state in the form of the Hamiltonian. In this formulation, the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian play an important role, since their time-evolution is easy to calculate (i.e. they are stationary). A well-established method of solution, after the entire eigenspectrum of Hˆ is known, is to decompose the initial state into this eigenbasis, apply time evolution to each and then reassemble the eigenstates. That is, 1In the analysis below, we consider only the position of a particle, and not any other quantum property such as spin. 2 D.V.

  • Searching for Stable Massive Particles in the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker
    Searching for Stable Massive Particles in the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker by Steven Schramm A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Bachelor of Science (Hons) in THE FACULTY OF SCIENCE (Physics and Astronomy) The University Of British Columbia (Vancouver) April 2011 c Steven Schramm, 2011 Abstract The search for new particles is an important topic in modern particle physics. New stable massive particles are predicted by various models, including R-parity con- serving variants of supersymmetry. The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker can be used to look for charged stable massive particles by using the momentum and velocity of particles passing through the detector to calculate its mass. A program named TRTCHAMP has been written to perform this analysis. Recently, ATLAS changed their data retention policies to phase out the use of a particular format of output file created during reconstruction. TRTCHAMP relies on this file type, and therefore this change prevents the algorithm from work- ing in its original state. However, this problem can be resolved by integrating TRTCHAMP into the official reconstruction, which has now been done. This paper documents the changes involved in integrating TRTCHAMP with the existing InDetLowBetaFinder reconstruction package. Topics discussed in- clude the structure of reconstruction algorithms in ATLAS, the retrieval of calibra- tion constants from the detector conditions database, and the parsing of necessary parameters from multiple reconstruction data containers. To conclude, the output of TRTCHAMP is shown to accurately estimate the velocity of protons in mini- mum bias tracks. Additionally, mass plots generated with the TRTCHAMP results are shown to agree with the known mass for both monte carlo and real protons in minimum bias tracks, and agreement is shown between the input and output masses for a monte carlo sample of 300 GeV R-Hadrons.

SMPs are defined such that they would be suffi- ciently long-lived so as to still exist in the cosmos either as Big Bang relics or secondary collision products, and sufficiently massive such that they are typically beyond the reach of any conceiv- able accelerator-based experiment. The discovery of SMPs would address a number of important questions in modern physics, such as the origin and composition of dark matter and the unifi- cation of the fundamental forces. This review outlines the scenarios predicting SMPs and the techniques used at non-collider experiments to look for SMPs in cosmic rays and bound in mat- ter. The limits so far obtained on the fluxes and matter densities of SMPs which possess various detection-relevant properties such as electric and magnetic charge are given.

    Several degenerate vacua and a model for Dark Matter in the pure Standard Model PoS(CORFU2019)049 Holger Bech Nielsen∗ Niels Bohr Institute, Blegdamsvej 15 -21, Copenhagen E-mail: [email protected] Colin D. Froggatt Glasgow University E-mail: [email protected] We return to a model of ours for what the dark matter can be with the property that it is compatible with the Standard Model alone. The only genuine new physics is a principle imposing restrictions on the parameters/couplings in the Standard Model. They are required to lead to several vacua being degenerate in energy density with each other. We especially look for some of the signals from the dark matter, which are not just gravitational: The 3.55 keV X-ray radiation, the positron excess and further g-ray excess. The picture of ours for dark matter has it being cm-size pearls of 100000 ton mass in order of magnitude.

  • On Mass Interaction Principle
    On Mass Interaction Principle Chu-Jun Gu∗ Institute of Theoretical Physics, Grand Genius Group, 100085, Beijing, China 1 2 Abstract This paper proposes mass interaction principle (MIP) as: the particles will be subjected to the random frictionless quantum Brownian motion by the collision of space time particle (STP) prevalent in spacetime. The change in the amount of action of the particles during each collision is an integer multiple of the Planck constant h. The motion of particles under the action of STP is a quantum Markov process. Under this principle, we infer that the statistical inertial mass of a particle is a statistical property that characterizes the difficulty of particle diffusion in spacetime. Starting from this principle, this article has the following six aspects of work: First, we derive the mass-diffusion coefficient uncertainty and the quantized commutation, and derive the most basic coordinate-momentum uncertainty and time-energy uncertainty of quantum mechanics, and then clearly reveal the particle-wave duality, which are properties exhibited by particles collided by STP. Second, we created the three decompositions of particles velocity. The comprehensive property of three velocities deduced the equation of motion of the particle as Schrödinger equation, and made a novel interpretation of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and Feynman’s path integral expression. And reexamine the quantum measurement problem, so that the EPR paradox can be explained in a self-consistent manner. Third, we reinterpret the physical origin of quantum spins. Each spacetime random impact not only gives the particle of matter the action of a Planck constant , but also produces the quantum fluctuation properties of the material particles.

    Lorentzian quantum cosmology in novel Gauss-Bonnet gravity from Picard-Lefschetz methods Gaurav Narain a∗ and Hai-Qing Zhang a,b† a Center for Gravitational Physics, Department of Space Science, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China. b International Research Institute for Multidisciplinary Science, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China Abstract In this paper we study some aspects of classical and quantum cosmology in the novel-Gauss- Bonnet (nGB) gravity in four space-time dimensions. Starting with a generalised Friedmann- Lemaˆıtre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric respecting homogeneity and isotropicity in arbitrary space-time dimension D, we find the action of theory in four spacetime dimension where the limit D 4 is smoothly obtained after an integration by parts. The peculiar rescaling of Gauss-Bonnet → coupling by factor of D 4 results in a non-trivial contribution to the action. We study the system − of equation of motion to first order nGB coupling. We then go on to compute the transition probability from one 3-geometry to another directly in Lorentzian signature. We make use of combination of WKB approximation and Picard-Lefschetz (PL) theory to achieve our aim. PL theory allows to analyse the path-integral directly in Lorentzian signature without doing Wick rotation. Due to complication caused by non-linear nature of action, we compute the transition amplitude to first order in nGB coupling. We find non-trivial correction coming from the nGB coupling to the transition amplitude, even if the analysis was done perturbatively. We use this result to investigate the case of classical boundary conditions. arXiv:2006.02298v1 [gr-qc] 3 Jun 2020 ∗ [email protected] † [email protected] 1 I.

  • Classical String Theory
    PROSEMINAR IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS Classical String Theory ETH ZÜRICH APRIL 28, 2013 written by: DAVID REUTTER Tutor: DR.KEWANG JIN Abstract The following report is based on my talk about classical string theory given at April 15, 2013 in the course of the proseminar ’conformal field theory and string theory’. In this report a short historical and theoretical introduction to string theory is given. This is fol- lowed by a discussion of the point particle action, leading to the postulation of the Nambu-Goto and Polyakov action for the classical bosonic string. The equations of motion from these actions are derived, simplified and generally solved. Subsequently the Virasoro modes appearing in the solution are discussed and their algebra under the Poisson bracket is examined. 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 2 The Relativistic String4 2.1 The Action of a Classical Point Particle..........................4 2.2 The General p-Brane Action................................6 2.3 The Nambu Goto Action..................................7 2.4 The Polyakov Action....................................9 2.5 Symmetries of the Action.................................. 11 3 Wave Equation and Solutions 13 3.1 Conformal Gauge...................................... 13 3.2 Equations of Motion and Boundary Terms......................... 14 3.3 Light Cone Coordinates................................... 15 3.4 General Solution and Oscillator Expansion......................... 16 3.5 The Virasoro Constraints.................................. 19 3.6 The Witt Algebra in Classical String Theory........................ 22 2 1 Introduction In 1969 the physicists Yoichiro Nambu, Holger Bech Nielsen and Leonard Susskind proposed a model for the strong interaction between quarks, in which the quarks were connected by one-dimensional strings holding them together. However, this model - known as string theory - did not really succeded in de- scribing the interaction.

The dark matter is assumed to be nonbaryonic and to consist of new stable particles. Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) miracle appeals to search for neutral stable weakly interacting particles in underground experiments by their nuclear recoil and at colliders by missing energy and momentum, which they carry out. However the lack of WIMP effects in their direct underground searches and at colliders can appeal to other forms of dark matter candidates. These candidates may be weakly interacting slim parti- cles, superweakly interacting particles, or composite dark matter, in which new particles are bound. Their existence should lead to cosmological effects that can find probes in the astrophysical data. However if composite dark matter contains stable electrically charged leptons and quarks bound by ordinary Coulomb interaction in elusive dark atoms, these charged constituents of dark atoms can be the subject of direct experimental test at the colliders. The models, predicting stable particles with charge -2 without stable parti- cles with charges +1 and -1 can avoid severe constraints on anomalous isotopes of light elements and provide solution for the puzzles of dark matter searches.
