Interaction of Ultra-Cold Neutrons with Condensed Matter
General theory of neutron scattering (elastic and inelastic) is presented. It is applicable for the whole domain of slow neutrons and includes as limiting cases existing theories for thermal and cold neutrons and for elastic scattering of UCN. New expression for inelastic scattering cross section for UCN is proposed. It differs from the usually used by proper account of re-scattering processes....
متن کاملProbing Lorentz Symmetry with Gravitationally Coupled Matter
The Standard Model of particle physics together with Einstein’s General Relativity provide a remarkably successful description of known phenomena. General Relativity describes gravitation at the classical level, while all other interactions are described down to the quantum level by the Standard Model. However, a single quantum-consistent theory at the Planck scale remains elusive. Ideally, exp...
متن کاملProbing dark matter with X–ray binaries
Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), which occur in old stellar populations, have velocities exceeding those of their parent distribution by at least 20 km s. This makes them ideal probes for dark matter, in particular in dwarf spheroidals (dSph), where the LMXBs should penetrate well outside the visible galaxy. We argue that the most likely explanation of the observation of LMXBs in the Sculptor d...
متن کاملProbing dark matter caustics with weak lensing
Caustics are high-density structures that form frequently in collisionless media. Under self-gravity, cold dark matter flows focus onto caustics which are yet to be resolved in numerical simulations and or observed in the real world. If detected, caustics would provide a strong evidence for dark matter and would rule out alternative models such as those with modified dynamics. Here, we demonstr...
متن کاملProbing nuclear matter with jet conversions
We discuss the flavor of leading jet partons as a valuable probe of nuclear matter. We point out that the coupling of jets to nuclear matter naturally leads to an alteration of jet chemistry even at high transverse momentum pT . In particular, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) jets coupling to a chemically equilibrated quark gluon plasma in nuclear collisions will lead to hadron ratios at high trans...
