False vacuum decay rates, more precisely

WY Ai, J Alexandre, S Sarkar - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We develop a method for accurately calculating vacuum decay rates beyond the thin-wall
regime in pure scalar field theory at the one-loop level of the effective action. It accounts for …

SimpleBounce: a simple package for the false vacuum decay

R Sato - Computer Physics Communications, 2021 - Elsevier
We present SimpleBounce, a C++ package for finding the bounce solution for the false
vacuum decay. This package is based on a flow equation which is proposed by the author …

Stability of electroweak vacuum and supersymmetric contribution to muon g− 2

S Chigusa, T Moroi, Y Shoji - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer

standard model (SM), paying particular attention to its relation to the SUSY contribution to …

[HTML][HTML] Quartic Gradient Flow

M Hong, R **no - Physics Letters B, 2024 - Elsevier
Saddle-point configurations, such as the Euclidean bounce and sphalerons, are known to
be difficult to find numerically. In this letter we study a new method, Quartic Gradient Flow, to …

Classical production of't Hooft–Polyakov monopoles from magnetic fields

DLJ Ho, A Rajantie - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We show that in the SU (2) Georgi-Glashow model,'t Hooft–Polyakov monopoles are
produced by a classical instability in magnetic fields above the Ambjørn-Olesen critical field …

Simple gradient flow equation for the bounce solution

R Sato - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Motivated by the recent work of Chigusa, Moroi, and Shoji, we propose a new simple
gradient flow equation to derive the bounce solution which contributes to the decay of the …

False Vacuum Decay Rate From Thin To Thick Walls

M Matteini, M Nemevšek, Y Shoji, L Ubaldi - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider a single real scalar field in flat spacetime with a polynomial potential up to
$\phi^ 4$, that has a local minimum, the false vacuum, and a deeper global minimum, the …

Instanton solution for Schwinger production of't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles

DLJ Ho, A Rajantie - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We present the results of an explicit numerical computation of a novel instanton in Georgi-
Glashow SU (2) theory. The instanton is physically relevant as a mediator of Schwinger …
