Natural Magnetogenesis from Inflation
We consider the gravitational generation of the massive Z boson field of the standard model, due to the natural breaking of its conformal invariance during inflation. The electroweak symmetry restoration at the end of inflation turns the almost scale-invariant superhorizon Z spectrum into a hypermagnetic field, which transforms into a regular magnetic field at the electroweak phase transition. ...
متن کاملCosmological Radiation Hydrodynamics with Enzo
We describe an extension of the cosmological hydrodynamics code Enzo to include the self-consistent transport of ionizing radiation modeled in the flux-limited diffusion approximation. A novel feature of our algorithm is a coupled implicit solution of radiation transport, ionization kinetics, and gas photoheating, making the timestepping for this portion of the calculation resolution independen...
متن کاملIon acceleration in multispecies targets driven by intense laser radiation pressure.
The acceleration of ions from ultrathin foils has been investigated by using 250 TW, subpicosecond laser pulses, focused to intensities of up to 3 × 10(20) W cm(-2). The ion spectra show the appearance of narrow-band features for protons and carbon ions peaked at higher energies (in the 5-10 MeV/nucleon range) and with significantly higher flux than previously reported. The spectral features an...
متن کاملEnrichment of the intergalactic medium by radiation pressure-driven dust efflux
The presence of metals in hot cluster gas and in Lyα absorbers, as well as the mass-metallicity relation of observed galaxies, suggest that galaxies lose a significant fraction of their metals to the intergalactic medium (IGM). Theoretical studies of this process have concentrated on metal removal by dynamical processes or supernova-driven winds. Here, we investigate the enrichment of the IGM b...
متن کاملRadiation-pressure acceleration of ion beams driven by circularly polarized laser pulses.
We present experimental studies on ion acceleration from ultrathin diamondlike carbon foils irradiated by ultrahigh contrast laser pulses of energy 0.7 J focused to peak intensities of 5x10(19) W/cm2. A reduction in electron heating is observed when the laser polarization is changed from linear to circular, leading to a pronounced peak in the fully ionized carbon spectrum at the optimum foil th...
