Cosmological particle creation using an equal-time Wigner formalism

It is well known that the expansion of the universe can create particles. However, due to ambiguities when defining particles during the expansion, there are still debates about how to choose vacuum and particle states. To clarify how particles are produced in an expanding universe, we study the creation of real scalar particles in flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker spacetimes by using a recently developed equal-time Wigner formalism. By comparing this quantum kinetic formalism with the standard Bogoliubov approach, we make a natural definition of a particle number in terms of kinetic phase-space functions, which we then compare with common adiabatic particle numbers. With inspiration from flat spacetime QED, we perform numerical calculations and discuss the interpretation of the particle numbers in terms of a hypothetical switch-off in the expansion rate. Finally, we consider how this interpretation is affected by regularization. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Dunkl algebra and vacuum pair creation: Exact analytical results via Bogoliubov method

This paper examines the generation of scalar particle pairs resulting from the application of an external electric field's Coulomb potential in both three- and two-dimensional scenarios, employing Dunkl's formalism. In doing this, we present two distinct sets of exact solutions to the Dunkl-Klein-Gordon equation. Subsequently, we employ the canonical approach based on the Bogoliubov transformation to link the “in” and “out” states in order to compute both the probability of pair creation and the density of particle creation. It is shown that the conditions necessary for the creation of pairs of spinless particles depend on several factors: nucleus charge Z, quantum numbers, and Dunkl parameter. It is also shown that the Dunkl formalism enhances particle pair production.

Heat capacity and quantum compressibility of dynamical spacetimes with thermal particle creation

This work continues the investigation in two recent papers on the quantum thermodynamics of spacetimes, (1) placing what was studied in [] for thermal quantum fields in the context of early universe cosmology, and (2) extending the considerations of vacuum compressibility of dynamical spaces treated in [] to dynamical spacetimes with thermal quantum fields. We begin with a warning that thermal equilibrium condition is not guaranteed to exist or maintained in a dynamical setting and thus finite temperature quantum field theory in cosmological spacetimes needs more careful considerations than what is often described in textbooks. A full description requires nonequilibrium quantum field theory in dynamical spacetimes using “in-in” techniques. A more manageable subclass of dynamics is where thermal equilibrium conditions are established at both the beginning and the end of evolution, where the in-thermal state and the out-thermal state are both well defined. Particle creation in the full history can then be calculated in this in-out asymptotically-stationary setup via the S-matrix transition amplitudes. Here we shall assume an in-vacuum state. It has been shown that if the intervening dynamics has an initial period of exponential expansion, such as in inflationary cosmology, particles created from the parametric amplification of the vacuum fluctuations in the initial vacuum will have a thermal spectrum measured at the out-state. Under these conditions finite temperature field theory can be applied to calculate the quantum thermodynamic quantities. Here we consider a massive conformal scalar field in a closed four-dimensional Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universe based on the simple analytically solvable Bernard-Duncan model. We calculate the energy density of particles created from an in-vacuum and derive the partition function. From the free energy we then derive the heat capacity and the quantum compressibility of these spacetimes with thermal particle creation. We end with some discussions and suggestions for further work in this program of studies. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Siddhar Nilai

Only two things are in action in this Universe. One is energy and the other is matter. Whenever a tiny [only 4.4 %] of the energy manifests, then creation of matter starts. When the matter returns to its original nature, then destruction begins. In 1905, Albert Einstein showed that matter and energy are equivalent. But before Einstein, the great Tamil Siddha MAYAN found that matter is energy and energy is matter. According to accepted physics, energy is the capacity to do work. Also, the conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. But one form of energy can be converted into another form of energy. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa. Most scientists currently recognize some 15 to 20 different species of early humans Recently, it has been found that Our species, Homo sapiens, has now spread to all parts of the world but it’s generally believed that we originated in Africa by about 200,000 years ago. We interacted with local archaic human populations as we colonized the globe. Those Africans migrated to the then Lemurrian continent also called as Kumari Kandam in Tamil literature and history. Those Tamil people were much advanced in all the types of arts and sciences. It is preached from the mouth of a Spiritual Master to the ear of the disciples that the Kumari Kandam spiritually realized Siddhars formulated the first type of yoga on earth. According to this school of thoughts, yoga is the unification of cosmic energy with bioenergy. In this brief work, the author attempts to unlock some treasures of Kumari Kanda yoga for the benefits of the entire humanity.

An on-demand source of nanoparticles for optomechanics

The generation of nanoparticles on demand, with good control over their size and shape, has been a challenge for nanotechnology and the rapidly growing field of levitated optomechanics. Here, we present the preparation, launch, and detection of single nanoparticles in both a buffer gas and in vacuum. A tightly focused ultrashort laser beam with low energy is used to melt, form, and release individual particles. Surface tension supports the creation of spherical particles from molten droplets whose radii can be controlled, here in the range r=80−200 nm, by varying the pulse energy. The particle source is compact and compatible with high vacuum. It can be applied equally to dielectrics and metals as demonstrated here for silicon and gold. The method is unique in its capability to generate pristine silicon spheres directly in vacuum, which would rapidly oxidize when formed in air. Silicon is of interest for levitated optomechanics, cavity cooling, and emerging quantum interference experiments because of its high infrared polarizability and its low work function. Combining the source with an infrared cavity, we characterize the launch velocity and transit dynamics for silicon and gold nanoparticles in a high-finesse cavity field.

Energy-Momentum Squared Gravity: A Brief Overview

In this work, we present a review of Energy-Momentum Squared Gravity (EMSG)—more specifically, f(R,TμνTμν) gravity, where R represents the Ricci scalar and Tμν denotes the energy-momentum tensor. The inclusion of quadratic contributions from the energy-momentum components has intriguing cosmological implications, particularly during the Universe’s early epochs. These effects dominate under high-energy conditions, enabling EMSG to potentially address unresolved issues in General Relativity (GR), such as the initial singularity and aspects of big-bang nucleosynthesis in certain models. The theory’s explicit non-minimal coupling between matter and geometry leads to the non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor, which prompts the investigation of cosmological scenarios through the framework of irreversible thermodynamics of open systems. By employing this formalism, we interpret the energy-balance equations within EMSG from a thermodynamic perspective, viewing them as descriptions of irreversible matter creation processes. Since EMSG converges to GR in a vacuum and differences emerge only in the presence of an energy-momentum distribution, these distinctions become significant in high-curvature regions. Therefore, deviations from GR are expected to be pronounced in the dense cores of compact objects. This review delves into these facets of EMSG, highlighting its potential to shed light on some of the fundamental questions in modern cosmology and gravitational theory.

Constraining the variable generalized Chaplygin gas model in matter creation cosmology

We explore the variable generalized Chaplygin gas (VGCG) model in the theory of matter creation cosmology within the framework of a spatially homogeneous and isotropic flat Friedmann—Lemaître—Robertson—Walker space-time. Matter creation cosmology is based on reinterpretation of the energy–momentum tensor in Einstein’s field equations. This creation corresponds to an irreversible energy flow from the gravitational field to the created matter constituents. The variable Chaplygin gas (VCG) is also studied as a particular solution. We use the Markov chain Monte Carlo method to constrain the free parameters of three models, namely, Lambda-Cold-Dark matter (ΛCDM), VGCG and VCG models with and without matter creation from the latest observational data from baryon acoustic oscillations, cosmic chronometer, type Ia supernovae (Pantheon) including gamma-ray bursts, quasars and the local measurement of H 0 from R21 data. Two different combinations of dataset provide a fairly tight constraint on the parameters of the ΛCDM, VGCG and VCG models. The present values of various cosmological parameters are obtained, which are very close to the ΛCDM model. Furthermore, we perform stability analysis, Bayesian evidence analysis and information criteria analysis for these models through studying the sound speed, Bayes factor, and Akaike information criteria (AIC) and Bayesian information criteria (BIC) selection criteria. The values of sound speed for VGCG and VCG models shows that both the models are stable. According to AIC, it is observed that VGCG and VCG models with matter creation are supported considerably less by current observations, while BIC shows that these models are not favoured by observational data.

Modified Gravity in the Presence of Matter Creation: Scenario for the Late Universe.

We consider a dynamic scenario for characterizing the late Universe evolution, aiming to mitigate the Hubble tension. Specifically, we consider a metric f(R) gravity in the Jordan frame which is implemented to the dynamics of a flat isotropic Universe. This cosmological model incorporates a matter creation process, due to the time variation of the cosmological gravitational field. We model particle creation by representing the isotropic Universe (specifically, a given fiducial volume) as an open thermodynamic system. The resulting dynamical model involves four unknowns: the Hubble parameter, the non-minimally coupled scalar field, its potential, and the energy density of the matter component. We impose suitable conditions to derive a closed system for these functions of the redshift. In this model, the vacuum energy density of the present Universe is determined by the scalar field potential, in line with the modified gravity scenario. Hence, we construct a viable model, determining the form of the f(R) theory a posteriori and appropriately constraining the phenomenological parameters of the matter creation process to eliminate tachyon modes. Finally, by analyzing the allowed parameter space, we demonstrate that the Planck evolution of the Hubble parameter can be reconciled with the late Universe dynamics, thus alleviating the Hubble tension.

Microencapsulation: A Review

A process known as "microencapsulation" forms thin wall material coverings around things, which can be gases, liquids, or even solids, and encases them in tiny particles. Small entities with an active ingredient known as the core material encased in a covering substance or embedded in a matrix structure are known as microencapsulated products, or micro particles. The overview includes information on encapsulating materials, preparation methods, the physics of release through the capsule wall, microcapsule characterization, and the many applications of microcapsules. The review, "State of Art of Microencapsulation of Microcapsule Preparation Process Technology," is a reputable resource on the creation, characteristics, and applications of novel small particles that are individually encapsulated. It also covers popular microencapsulation techniques and their benefits and drawbacks, as well as the broader applications of these techniques in the fields of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agriculture, food technologies, and textiles.

Impact of particle creation in Rastall gravity

In this paper, we investigate the Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker cosmological models within the framework of Rastall gravity incorporating particle creation. The modified field equations for Rastall gravity are derived and exact solutions are obtained under various assumptions of the scale factor. The qualitative behavior of our solutions depends on the Rastall coupling parameter [Formula: see text]. Following Akarsu et al. [Ö. Akarsu et al., Rastall gravity extension of the standard [Formula: see text] CDM model: Theoretical features and observational constraints, Eur. Phys. J. C 80 (2020) 1050], we have restricted the Rastall coupling parameter [Formula: see text] to the range [Formula: see text] at 68% CL from CMB+BAO data. Further, we have discussed the distinct physical behavior of the derived models in detail.

Thermodynamics and Decay of de Sitter Vacuum

We discuss the consequences of the unique symmetry of de Sitter spacetime. This symmetry leads to the specific thermodynamic properties of the de Sitter vacuum, which produces a thermal bath for matter. de Sitter spacetime is invariant under the modified translations, r→r−eHta, where H is the Hubble parameter. For H→0, this symmetry corresponds to the conventional invariance of Minkowski spacetime under translations r→r−a. Due to this symmetry, all the comoving observers at any point of the de Sitter space perceive the de Sitter environment as the thermal bath with temperature T=H/π, which is twice as large as the Gibbons–Hawking temperature of the cosmological horizon. This temperature does not violate de Sitter symmetry and, thus, does not require the preferred reference frame, as distinct from the thermal state of matter, which violates de Sitter symmetry. This leads to the heat exchange between gravity and matter and to the instability of the de Sitter state towards the creation of matter, its further heating, and finally the decay of the de Sitter state. The temperature T=H/π determines different processes in the de Sitter environment that are not possible in the Minkowski vacuum, such as the process of ionization of an atom in the de Sitter environment. This temperature also determines the local entropy of the de Sitter vacuum state, and this allows us to calculate the total entropy of the volume inside the cosmological horizon. The result reproduces the Gibbons–Hawking area law, which is attributed to the cosmological horizon, Shor=4πKA, where K=1/(16πG). This supports the holographic properties of the cosmological event horizon. We extend the consideration of the local thermodynamics of the de Sitter state using the f(R) gravity. In this thermodynamics, the Ricci scalar curvature R and the effective gravitational coupling K are thermodynamically conjugate variables. The holographic connection between the bulk entropy of the Hubble volume and the surface entropy of the cosmological horizon remains the same but with the gravitational coupling K=df/dR. Such a connection takes place only in the 3+1 spacetime, where there is a special symmetry due to which the variables K and R have the same dimensionality. We also consider the lessons from de Sitter symmetry for the thermodynamics of black and white holes.

Insights into nanostructured silica particle formation from sodium silicate using spray drying: An experimental and theoretical study

Spray drying is a widely used operational procedure utilized in diverse sectors. The current knowledge of droplet mobility processesinside the drying chamber is not fully comprehensive due to the complex nature of droplet evaporation issues. The present study used a comprehensive methodology that integrated numerical models and actual testing to investigate the drying process of droplets in the context of spray drying. The precursor material utilized in this investigation was colloidal silica. The influence of external hydrodynamic variables, such as drying temperature (473, 673, and 873 K) and carrier gas flow rate (2, 4, 6 L/min), was thoroughly investigated in connection to the dynamics of droplets and the subsequent creation of silica particles. Distinct alterations in the size and shape of the silica particles were observed due to variations in drying temperature and carrier gas flow rate. The validity of this investigation was established by the generation of two discrete particle morphologies, namely spherical particles and doughnut-shaped particles. Spherical particles were produced under reduced carrier gas flow rates of 2 L/min and lower drying chamber temperatures of 473 K. In the quantitative evaluation, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computations properly established the evaporation rate constant (K) and the temperature difference (ΔT) inside the droplets. Furthermore, qualitative calculations provide insight into the complex dynamics of droplet motion inside the spray chamber. The results of this study have the potential to open up new possibilities for regulating nanoparticle creation via the use of the spray drying process.

Mass generation via nonlinear massive solution in Higgs potential and particle creations

The nonlinear massive plane wave solution of the classical scalar field in the Higgs potential is revisited to study the mass generation and particle creation. In particular, by assuming that the Higgs system is in the slightly excited state in early universe and it is described by the nonlinear solution, we study the mass generation mechanism for massive vector bosons and a heavy fermion in the quantum field theory around the nonlinear massive classical field. The nonlinear massive classical solution gives the transition from the vacuum to a pair of vector bosons and fermions. We present the new formulae of the probability density of the production process for particles in the standard model of elementary particle physics. The probability densities of the particle productions vanish when the nonlinear massive solution reduces to the constant solution (the classical vacuum expectation value); while the probability densities are expressed as the function of the free parameter in the classical solution in general case. We discuss the behavior of the probability densities for the three oscillating modes in the classical solution.

Quantum System Dynamics: Harnessing Constructive Resonance for Technological Advancements, Universal Matter Creation and Exploring the Paradigm of Resonance-induced Gravity

The complex dynamics of constructive resonance are the main topic of this quantum physics study, along with its implications for matter generation, the unification of quantum and classical knowledge, and important technological developments. Space-time is conceptualized in terms of an interwoven fabric in which both linear and non-linear patterns are recorded in an information field. According to this paradigm, basic particle interactions that result in the development of the material universe are referred to as "Constructive Resonance Waves." A five-dimensional cosmos is shaped by the introduction of Cosmic Information (CI), which is essential since it is a basic base vector related to the dimensions of space and time. The Resonance-Induced Information Force Field (RIIFF) and Constructive Resonance are two new theoretical concepts that are introduced in this paper.

Matter relative to quantum hypersurfaces

We explore the canonical description of a scalar field in 1+1 dimensional Minkowski space as a parametrized field theory on an extended phase space that includes additional embedding fields that characterize spacetime hypersurfaces X relative to which the scalar field is described. This theory is quantized via the Dirac prescription and physical states of the theory are used to define conditional wave functionals |ψϕ[X]⟩ interpreted as the state of the field relative to the hypersurface X, thereby extending the Page-Wootters formalism to quantum field theory. It is shown that this conditional wave functional satisfies the Tomonaga-Schwinger equation, thus demonstrating the formal equivalence between this extended Page-Wootters formalism and standard quantum field theory. We also construct relational Dirac observables and define a quantum deparametrization of the physical Hilbert space leading to a relational Heisenberg picture, which are both shown to be unitarily equivalent to the Page-Wootters formalism. Moreover, by treating hypersurfaces as quantum reference frames, we extend recently developed quantum frame transformations to changes between classical and nonclassical hypersurfaces. This allows us to exhibit the transformation properties of a quantum field under a larger class of transformations, which leads to a frame-dependent particle creation effect.
