Are There Pressure Waves in the Vacuum?
Are there sound waves in the vacuum? The question might seem silly, but here’s my point: (i) the Higgs vacuum of the Standard Model, with its nonzero background field 〈Φ〉 6 = 0, is not ‘empty,’ but rather is a kind of medium. (ii) For very basic reasons, one expects any medium to propagate pressure waves for sufficiently long wavelengths. At length scales much, much longer than the mean free pa...
متن کاملIs the vacuum stable ?
The experimental data, as well as theoretical considerations allow (and, in some cases, require) the Universe at present to rest in a false vacuum, whose approximate stability imposes constraints on the model parameters. Under very general and mild conditions, the Universe would have ended up in the standard vacuum even if the potential has deeper minima, provided there was a period in which th...
متن کاملIs there Still a Place for Vacuum Extraction (Ventouse) in Modern Obstetric Practice in Nigeria
There has been a decline in operative vaginal delivery world-wide. Vacuum extraction has largely replaced forceps delivery in our low resource setting and in the developed countries, but the teaching and exposure of this procedure is still on the decline. There is a need for enhanced teaching and exposure of operative vaginal delivery and mastering of the procedure in our centers by the residen...
متن کاملGenetic Transformation of Oat Mediated by Agrobacterium is enhanced with Sonication and Vacuum Infiltration
Background: Oat (Avena sativa) with high nutritive value and fiber content is used as the main food grain in many countries for human diet as well as animal feed. Recently, it became difficult to transfer new genes through the conventional breeding due to the lack of desirable traits. Objectives: The current study aimed at achieving a st...
متن کاملVacuum Energy and Θ–vacuum
The highly non-trivial structure of the θ–vacuum encodes many of the fundamental properties of gauge theories. In particular, the response of the vacuum to the θ–term perturbation is sensitive to the existence of confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, etc. We analyze the dependence of the vacuum energy density on θ around two special values, θ = 0 and θ = π. The existence or not of singular beh...
