Cosmological gravitational particle production and its implications for cosmological relics

EW Kolb, AJ Long - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
Cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) is the creation of particles in an
expanding universe due solely to their gravitational interaction. These particles can play an …

A perturbation theory for the Coulomb phase infrared-divergence

L Lippstreu - arxiv preprint arxiv:2312.08455, 2023 - arxiv.org
We construct a perturbation theory which we conjecture to be free of the Coulomb-phase
infrared divergence. This perturbation theory is developed for one of the simplest yet …

Thermalization by off-shell processes: The virtues of small virtuality

D Boyanovsky - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We study the thermalization of a scalar field Φ coupled to two other scalar fields χ 1, 2 that
constitute a bath in thermal equilibrium. For a range of masses the Φ propagator features …

Threshold and infrared singularities: Time evolution, asymptotic state, and entanglement entropy

D Boyanovsky - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Threshold and infrared divergences are studied as possible mechanisms of particle
production and are compared to the usual decay process in a model quantum field theory …

The Study of the Standard Model Electroweak Precision Physics at Future Electron-Positron Colliders

L Chen - 2022 - search.proquest.com
Future electron-positron colliders, such as the CEPC, FCC-ee, and ILC, usher in a new
precision frontier where the electroweak (EW) sector of the Standard Model (SM) of particle …
