• Adiabatic axion-photon mixing near neutron stars 

      Tjemsland, Jonas; McDonald, Jamie; Witte, Samuel J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
    • Chiral density wave versus pion condensation at finite density and zero temperature 

      Andersen, Jens Oluf; Kneschke, Patrick (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The quark-meson model is often used as a low-energy effective model for QCD to study the chiral transition at finite temperature T, baryon chemical potential μB, and isospin chemical potential μI. We determine the parameters ...
    • Conformality loss and quantum criticality in topological Higgs electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions 

      Nogueira, Flavio S.; van den Brink, Jeroen; Sudbø, Asle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The electromagnetic response of topological insulators and superconductors is governed by a modified set of Maxwell equations that derive from a topological Chern-Simons (CS) term in the effective Lagrangian with coupling ...
    • Curious case of the maximum rigidity distribution of cosmic-ray accelerators 

      Ehlert, Domenik; Oikonomou, Foteini; Unger, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      In many models, the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are assumed to accelerate particles to the same maximum energy. Motivated by the fact that candidate astrophysical accelerators exhibit a vast diversity ...
    • Inhomogeneous chiral condensate in the quark-meson model 

      Adhikari, Prabal; Andersen, Jens Oluf; Kneschke, Patrick (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The two-flavor quark-meson model is used as a low-energy effective model for QCD to study inhomogeneous chiral condensates at finite baryon chemical potential μB . The parameters of the model are determined by matching the ...
    • On-shell parameter fixing in the quark-meson model 

      Adhikari, Prabal; Andersen, Jens Oluf; Kneschke, Patrick (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The quark-meson model is often used as an effective low-energy model for QCD to study the chiral transition at finite temperature T and baryon chemical potential μB. The parameters in the quark-meson model can be found by ...
    • Pion condensation and phase diagram in the Polyakov-loop quark-meson model 

      Adhikari, Prabal; Andersen, Jens Oluf; Kneschke, Patrick (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      We use the Polyakov-loop extended two-flavor quark-meson model as a low-energy effective model for QCD to study the phase diagram in the μI–T plane where μI is the isospin chemical potential. In particular, we focus on the ...
