چکیده

Quantum-gravity effects may introduce relevant consequences for the propagation and interaction of high energy cosmic rays particles. Assuming the space-time foamy structure results in an intrinsic uncertainty of energy and momentum of particles, we show how low energy (under GZK) observations can provide strong constraints on the role of the fluctuating space-time structure.

We consider the non-radiative two body decay of a neutrino to a daughter neutrino with degraded energy and a very light particle (Majoron). Ultrahigh energy neutrinos from an astrophysical source like a Gamma Ray Burst undergoing this decay process are found to produce different number of events in the detector depending on whether they are Majorana or Dirac particles. The next generation large...

Effects of quantum statistics are clearly seen in the final states of high-energy multiparticle production processes. These effects are being widely used to obtain information about the regions where the final state hadrons are produced. Here we briefly present and discuss the assumptions underlying most of these analyses.

Bound quantum mechanical systems not expanding with the comoving frame of an expanding, flat FRW metric are found to release energy at a rate linearly proportional to the local Hubble constant (H o) and the systems' binding energy (E b); i.e., ˙ E = H o E b. Three exemplary quantum systems are examined. For systems with early cosmological condensation times — notably hadrons — time-integrated e...
