We show that in a uniform medium, the vanishing of a particular condensate along with spontaneously broken symmetry imply the existence of an anomalously light pseudo-Goldstone mode. The consequences for a vanishing chiral condensate in nuclear matter are discussed.

The first evidence for Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases was obtained by a sudden narrowing of the velocity distribution as observed for ballistically expanding clouds of atoms. However, the dominant contribution to the observed momentum distribution of the expanding condensate was the released interaction energy (mean-field energy) resulting in momentum distributions much broader than...

The optical properties of superconductors, in particular the real parts of the conductivity and the dielectric function, may be used to calculate the strength of the condensate. In systems where all the free carriers collapse into the condensate, this approach works well. However, in gapless systems, and in unconventional systems in which the superconducting energy gap is observed to have zeros...

We present a review of parton saturation/Color Glass Condensate physics in the context of deuteron-gold (d+Au) collisions at RHIC. Color Glass Condensate physics is a universal description of all high energy hadronic and nuclear interactions. It comprises classical (McLerran-Venugopalan model and Glauber-Mueller rescatterings) and quantum evolution (JIMWLK and BK equations) effects both in smal...

Recently the authors used the Kadanoff-Baym non-equilibrium Green's function formalism to derive kinetic equation for the non-condensate atoms, in conjunction with a consistent generalization of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the Bose condensate wavefunction. This work was limited to high temperatures , where the excited atoms could be described by a Hartree-Fock particle-like spectrum. We p...

We show how a generalized quantum metrology protocol can be implemented in a twomode Bose-Einstein condensate of n atoms, achieving a sensitivity that scales better than 1/n and approaches 1 /n^'^ for appropriate design of the condensate.

The probability distribution of neutral pion fraction from independent domains of disoriented chiral condensate is characterized. The signal for the condensate is clear for a small number of domains but is greatly reduced for more than three.

We study pion condensation and the phase structure in a two-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in the presence of baryon chemical potential μ and isospin chemical potential μI at zero and finite temperature. There is a competition between the chiral condensate and a Bose-Einstein condensate of charged pions. In the chiral limit, the chiral condensate vanishes for any finite value of the isospin ch...

Stimulated inflammatory cells release large amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Breath condensate H2O2 has been shown to be elevated in stable asthmatic children, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and intubated adult respiratory distress syndrome. In cystic fibrosis airways, where neutrophilic inflammation dominates, it is postulated that H2O2 in breath condensate would be elevated and may...

Exhaled breath condensate collection is not yet standardised and biomarker measurements are often close to lower detection limits. In the current study, it was hypothesised that adhesive properties of different condenser coatings interfere with measurements of eicosanoids and proteins in breath condensate. In vitro, condensate was derived from a collection model using two test solutions (8-isop...
