Measurement of the K+ → π+γγ decay

Alessandro Mapelli, Radoslav Marchevski, Alina Kleimenova

A sample of 3984 candidates of the K+ -> pi(+)gamma gamma decay, with an estimated background of 291 +/- 14 events, was collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN during 2017-2018. In order to describe the observed di-photon mass spectrum, the next-to-leadin ...

Critical properties of the quantum Ashkin-Teller chain with chiral perturbations

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We investigate the nature of the phase transitions in the quantum Ashkin-Teller chain in the presence of chiral perturbations. We locate the Lifshitz line separating a region of direct chiral transitions from the region where the transition is through an i ...

A search for the exotic decay of the Higgs boson to a pair of light pseudoscalars, each of which subsequently decays into a pair of photons, is presented. The search uses data from proton-proton collisions at root s = 13TeV recorded with the CMS detector a ...

Outer automorphism anomalies

Brian Quinn Henning

We discuss anomalies associated with outer automorphisms in gauge theories based on classical groups, namely charge conjugations for SU(N) and parities for SO(2r). We emphasize the inequivalence (yet related by a flavor transformation) between two versions ...

Helimagnons and Skyrmion Dynamics in Cu2OSeO3 and Fe/Gd Multilayers Explored by Brillouin Light Scattering and X-ray Microscopy

Ping Che

Spin dynamics in skyrmion hosting materials provide novel functionality in magnonics because of the formation of a novel magnon band structure and the nanoscale sizes of magnetic skyrmions. In this thesis, we explore the spin dynamics in the chiral magnet ...

Control of a polar order via magnetic field in a vector-chiral magnet

Helmuth Berger

Vector-chiral (VC) antiferromagnetism is a spiral-like ordering of spins which may allow ferroelectricity to occur due to loss of space inversion symmetry. In this Letter we report direct experimental observation of ferroelectricity in the VC phase of beta ...

Hunting for tetraquarks in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Angelo Esposito

Ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions constitute an ideal setup to look for exotic hadrons because of their low event multiplicity and the possibility of an efficient background rejection. We propose to look for fourquark states produced by photon-photon fu ...

S-matrix bootstrap for effective field theories: massless pions

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes

We use the numerical S-matrix bootstrap method to obtain bounds on the two leading Wilson coefficients (or low energy constants) of the chiral lagrangian controlling the low-energy dynamics of massless pions. This provides a proof of concept that the numer ...

Probing the topology of the quantum analog of a classical skyrmion

Frédéric Mila, Jeanne Colbois

In magnetism, skyrmions correspond to classical three-dimensional spin textures characterized by a topological invariant that keeps track of the winding of the magnetization in real space, a property that cannot be easily generalized to the quantum case si ...

Time-reversal symmetry breaking Abelian chiral spin liquid in Mott phases of three-component fermions on the triangular lattice

We provide numerical evidence in favor of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and the concomitant appearance of an Abelian chiral spin liquid for three-component fermions on the triangular lattice described by an SU(3) symmetric Hubbard model with hopping ...

Absolute Structure from Scanning Electron Microscopy

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

The absence of centrosymmetry in chiral and polar crystal structures is the reason for many technical relevant physical properties like optical birefringence or ferroelectricity. Other chirality related properties that are actually intensively investigated ...

Magnetic-field-induced reorientation in the spin-density-wave and the spin-stripe phases of the frustrated spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeVO4

Helmuth Berger

beta-TeVO4 is a frustrated spin-1/2 zig-zag chain system, where spin-density-wave (SDW), vector-chiral (VC) and an exotic dynamic spin-stripe phase compete at low temperatures. Here we use torque magnetometry to study the anisotropy of these phases in magn ...

Correlation between Optical Activity and the Helical Molecular Orbitals of Allene and Cumulenes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Helical frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) appear in disubstituted allenes and even-n cumulenes. Chiral molecules are optically active, but while these molecules are single-handed chiral, p-orbitals of both helicities are present. Here we computationally ex ...
