Thermal Fluctuations and Validity of the 1-loop Effective Potential
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the validity of the 1-loop approximation to the effective potential at finite temperatures and present a simple test for its reliability. As an application we study the standard electroweak potential, showing that for a Higgs mass above 70 GeV, and fairly independently of the top mass (with mt ≥ 90 GeV), the 1-loop approximation is no longer valid for temperatures in the neighborhood of the critical temperature.

Collision Terms from Fluctuations in the Htl Theory for the Quark-gluon Plasma
Starting from the kinetic formulation of the hard thermal loop effective theory, we have (re)derived the collision terms for soft modes of order g2T log(1/g) by averaging the statistical fluctuations in the plasma.
متن کاملSU ( 2 ) Yang - Mills thermodynamics : two - loop corrections to the pressure
We compute the two-loop corrections to the thermodynamical pressure of an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory being in its electric phase. Our results prove that the one-loop evolution of the effective gauge coupling constant is reliable for any practical purpose. We thus establish the validity of the picture of almost noninteracting thermal quasiparticles in the electric phase. Implications of our results...

This paper presents the experimental investigations conducted on a vertical closed loop pulsating heat pipe (VCLPHP) to evaluate the thermal performance. The values of thermal resistance and heat transfer coefficient obtained in the experimentation is used as evaluation parameters. The VCLPHP used has capillary tubes having an inner diameter of 2mm and outside diameter 3mm and bent into 5 turns...
متن کاملEstimating the Efficient Shocks' Share in Iran's Economic Growth Fluctuations (Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Approach)
In economic, the degree of intervention of policymakers in creation of economic stability and the response to economic fluctuations is one of the most important problems. The higher the share of efficient shocks in economic fluctuation, the lower the degree of policy response. This study evaluates the contribution of efficient shocks in creating of economic fluctuations and also estimates poten...
متن کاملA New Approach in Preliminary Design of Closed Loop Solar Thermal Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, a model for closed loop solar system is presented and an attempt is made to generalize the model to be utilized for primary design of any solar active thermal system. This model may be used for systems in which gas or a liquid are fluids that flow. Two new parameters, namely, the system heat delivery factor and the system heat absorption factor are introduced in the model. These ...
