Heavy Quarks or Compactified Extra Dimensions in the Core of Hybrid Stars
نویسنده
چکیده
Neutron stars with extremely high central energy density are natural laboratories to investigate the appearance and the properties of compactified extra dimensions with small compactification radius, if they exist. Using the same formalism, these exotic hybrid stars can be described as neutron stars with quark core, where the high energy density allows the presence of heavy quarks (c, b, t). We compare the two scenarios for hybrid stars and display their characteristic features.

Searching Extra Dimensions in Compact Stars
The electro-magnetic and particle radiation detected from the direction of Cygnus X3 raise the question of the existence of special long-lived, neutral particles. We investigate the origin of these particles in a special approach: the source object may contain compactified extra dimension and these particles are messengers of this state. We describe hyperon stars in 3 + 1 dimension and introduc...

We suggest simple models which produce the suitable fermion mass hierarchies and flavor mixing angles based on the supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory in 6 dimensions compactified on a T 2 /Z 2 orbifold. The gauge and Higgs fields propagate in 6 dimensions while ordinal chiral matter fields are localized in 4 dimensions. We introduce extra vector-like heavy fields in the extra dimensions...
متن کاملGamma rays from the Galactic bulge and large extra dimensions.
An intriguing feature of extra dimensions is the possible production of Kaluza-Klein gravitons by nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung, in the course of core collapse of massive stars, with gravitons then being trapped around the newly born neutron stars and decaying into two gamma rays, making neutron stars gamma-ray sources. We strengthen the limits on the radius of compactification of extra dimens...

We suggest simple models which produce the suitable fermion mass hierarchies and flavor mixing angles based on the N = 1 supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory compactified on a T /(Z2 × Z ′ 2) orbifold. We introduce extra vector-like heavy fields in the extra dimensions, and the suitable fermion mass hierarchies and flavor mixings are generated by integrating out these heavy fields. We con...
متن کاملQuantum lightcone fluctuations in theories with extra dimensions
The effects of small extra dimensions upon quantum fluctuations of the lightcone are examined. We argue that compactified extra dimensions modify the quantum fluctuations of gravitational field so as to induce lightcone fluctuations. This phenomenon can be viewed as being related to the Casimir effect. The observable manifestation of the lightcone fluctuations is broadening of spectral lines fr...
