Neutrino superfluidity.
It is shown that Dirac-type neutrinos display BCS superfluidity for any nonzero mass. The Cooper pairs are formed by attractive scalar Higgs boson exchange between left- and right-handed neutrinos; in the standard SU(2) x U(1) theory, right-handed neutrinos do not couple to any other boson. The value of the gap, the critical temperature, and the Pippard coherence length are calculated for arbit...
متن کاملThe Discovery of Superfluidity
T of the greatest physics discoveries in the first half of the 20th century were superconductivity and superfluidity. Superconductivity involves the frictionless conduction of electricity in wires, and superfluidity the frictionless flow of superfluid liquid helium through channels. Both discoveries led to the arcane phenomenon of macroscopic quantization: the manifestation of the laws of quant...

For the description in terms of a flowing ground state plus excitations see Lecture 15 and problem 3 of Homework 7 for Ph127a. This approach has some disadvantages. Conceptually, it has the problem that we calculate superflow in terms of what it isn’t, i.e. the excitations which reduce the mass flow! The superflow is slipped in by Galilean boost arguments. Practically, the approach is limited t...
متن کاملThe discovery of superfluidity
Superfluidity is a remarkable manifestation of quantum mechanics at the macroscopic level. This article describes the history of its discovery, which took place at a particularly difficult period of the twentieth century. A special emphasis is given to the role of J.F. Allen, D. Misener, P. Kapitza, F. London, L. Tisza and L.D. Landau. The nature and the importance of their respective contribut...
متن کاملSuperfluidity and Superconductivity
I AM sorry that Professor Landau was unable to come for two personal reasons. The first is that I have worked on this problem of helium upon which he has also done so much, and I would have liked to have spoken with him about it. The other reason is that I wouldn't have had to give this lecture. Quantum mechanics was developed in 1926, and in the following decade it was rapidly applied to all k...
