چکیده
We investigate theoretically, numerically and experimentally nonlinear optical waves in an absorbing out-of-equilibrium colloidal material at the gelification transition. At sufficiently high optical intensity, absorption is frustrated and light propagates into the medium. The process is mediated by the formation of a matter-shock wave due to optically induced thermodiffusion, and largely resembles the mechanism of hydrodynamical supercavitation, as it is accompanied by a dynamic phase-transition region between the beam and the absorbing material.

We study the effect of SU (3) flavor breaking on high density quark matter. We discuss, in particular, the effect a non-zero electron chemical potential and a finite strange quark mass. We argue that these perturbations trigger pion or kaon condensation. The critical chemical potential behaves as µ e ∼ √ mm s ∆/p F and the critical strange quark mass as m s ∼ m 1/3 ∆ 2/3 , where m is the light ...

We consider the problem of gravitational forces between point particles on the branes in a Randall-Sundrum (R-S) two brane model with S 1 /Z 2 symmetry. Matter is assumed to produce a perturbation to the R-S vacuum metric and all the 5D Einstein equations are solved to linearized order (for arbitrary matter on both branes). We show that while the gauge condition h i5 = 0, i = 0, 1, 2, 3 can alw...

We examine the recently observed deviation of the muon g − 2 from the Standard Model prediction within the framework of gravity mediated SUGRA models with R parity invariance. Universal soft breaking (mSUGRA) models , and models with non-universal Higgs and third generation squark/slepton masses at M G are considered. All relic density constraints from stau-neutralino co-annihilation and large ...

I review recent developments in the study of strongly interacting field theories with non-zero chemical potential µ. In particular I focus on (a) the determination of the QCD critical endpoint in the (µ, T) plane; (b) superfluid condensates in Two Color QCD; and (c) Fermi surface effects in the NJL model. Some remarks are made concerning the relation of superconductivity with the sign problem.

We report on the present progress in development of the dark matter axion search experiment with Rydberg-atom-cavity detectors in Kyoto, CARRACK I and CARRACK II. The axion search has been performed with CARRACK I in the 8 % mass range around 10µeV, and CARRACK II is now ready for the search in the wide range 2µeV − 50µeV. We have also developed quantum theoretical calculations on the axion-pho...
