On high energy scattering inside gravitational backgrounds
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the high energy scattering inside gravitational backgrounds using ’t Hooft’s formalism. The scattering is equivalent to geodesic shifts accross Aichelburg-Sexl waves inside the gravitational backgrounds. We find solutions for A-S waves inside various backgrounds and analyze them.

Gravitational Scattering in the ADD-model at High and Low Energies
Gravitational scattering in the ADD-model is considered at both suband transplanckian energies using a common formalism. By keeping a physical cut-off in the KK tower associated with virtual KK exchange, such as the cut-off implied from a finite brane width, troublesome divergences are removed from the calculations in both energy ranges. The scattering behavior depends on three different energy...
متن کاملEstimates of maximum energy density of cosmological gravitational-wave backgrounds
The recent claim by BICEP2 of evidence for primordial gravitational waves has focused interest on the potential for early-Universe cosmology using gravitational waves. In addition to cosmic microwave background detectors, efforts are underway to carry out gravitational-wave astronomy with pulsar timing arrays, space-based detectors, and terrestrial detectors. These efforts will probe a wide ran...
متن کاملExpected Signals in Relic Neutrino Detectors
Here we estimate the magnitude of the signals expected for realistic cosmic neutrino backgrounds in detectors attempting to measure the mechanical forces exerted on macroscopic targets by the elastic scattering of relic neutrinos. We study effects proportional to the weak coupling constant GF and to G 2 F for Dirac and Majorana neutrinos, either relativistic or non-relativistic, both gravitatio...
متن کامل(Non)perturbative gravity, nonlocality, and nice slices
Perturbative dynamics of gravity is investigated for high energy scattering and in black hole backgrounds. In the latter case, a straightforward perturbative analysis fails, in a close parallel to the failure of the former when the impact parameter reaches the Schwarzschild radius. This suggests a flaw in a semiclassical description of physics on spatial slices that intersect both outgoing Hawk...
متن کاملA practical theorem on gravitational wave backgrounds
There is an extremely simple relationship between the spectrum of the gravitational wave background produced by a cosmological distribution of discrete gravitational wave sources, the total time-integrated energy spectrum of an individual source, and the present-day comoving number density of remnants. Stated in this way, the background is entirely independent of the cosmology, and only weakly ...
