Radiative transfer in stars by feebly interacting bosons

Radiative transfer in stars by feebly interacting bosons by Andrea Caputo et al. on Monday 19 September Starting from first principles, we study radiative transfer by new feebly-interacting bosons (FIBs) such as axions, axion-like particles (ALPs), dark photons, and others. Our key simplification is to include only boson emission or absorption (including decay), but not scattering between different modes of the radiation field. Based on a given distribution of temperature and FIB absorption rate in a star, we derive explicit volume-integral expressions for the boson luminosity, reaching from the free-streaming to the strong-trapping limit. The latter is seen explicitly to correspond to quasi-thermal emission from a "FIB sphere" according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Our results supersede expressions and approximations found in the recent literature on FIB emission from a supernova core and, for radiatively unstable FIBs, provide explicit expressions for the nonlocal ("ballistic") transfer of energy recently discussed in horizontal-branch stars. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2204.11862v2

*Quantum biology does what standard chemistry and physics can't

*Today we present the return of a classic show. Update: Bob and Cheryl Enyart are being treated in hospital for severe Covid 19 conditions. They love you guys and are praying for you and hope that you will pray for them and their seven wonderful sons and extended family. Before heading in, Bob reminded us, "God is good, all the time." Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart discusses the growing field of quantum biology with Brian, an information systems guy with one of the world's major institutions who earned a double-major in mechanical engineering and physics from Iowa State University. This engineer argues that some of the extraordinary abilities of biological organisms go beyond what seems possible from standard chemistry and physics. Quantum mechanics, astoundingly, enables the navigational abilities of the Arctic Tern to fly halfway around the globe and of Monarch butterflies to migrate from Canada to Mexico. The startling, often sub-atomic, quantum world of the two-slit experiment and of wave/particle duality, of quantum entanglement, superposition, coherence and quantum tunneling, has disrupted the already wildly complex field of biology. Evidence is mounting that the most bewildering abilities of living organisms come courtesy of the Designer using quantum effects to accomplish what otherwise would seem to be impossible! RSR's Quantum Thoughts: - 2018: Quantum Biology Pt. 1 (this program) - 2019: QB Pt. 2: Our seemingly impossible sense of smell  - 2019: How Quantum Computers Do It: Finally, a Helpful Explanation - 2019: Google's Quantum Supremacy - 2019: Top Mathematicians: Ants & Bees, Mold & Amoebas - 2018: Coincidence or Determinism? Quantum theology and physics - 2015: An RSR preview show - 2020: Bob's draft paper rsr.org/wave-particle-duality-is-a-triality - 2021: Our very own RSR List of Quantum Rules (just below). * Jim Al-Khalili Reports on Quantum Biology: Even though the title doesn't mention it, this great embedded video is about quantum biology! (And whereas the video says Part 2 of 2, you don't need to find Part 1 and watch it because it's not about quantum biology.) It's great, except of course for the delusional necessary homage to Darwinism from 47:00 to the end. :) Update: In 2019 the two-slit experiment was conducted successfully with molecules of 2,000 atoms (Fein, et al., Nature Physics) weighing 25,000 to 40,000 AMU (atomic mass units)! Bob stated incorrectly in this 2018 program that to date, the largest molecule used was of 100 atoms. Actually, back in 2013 (Eibenberger, et al., arxiv.org) experimenters produced a quantum interference pattern using a synthetic carbon-based molecule of 810 atoms.RSR's own Quantum Rules DRAFT List: In January 2021 we posted this astounding list of all known quantum rules. So here are the directives which elementary particles obey... - Two electrons of the same energy in an atom must have opposite spin - When two electrons become entangled they must have opposite spin - Photons emitted, within nanoseconds of each other, from an electron going to ground state, are not entangled unless they are emitted in opposite directions - When there are no measurements the quantum wave state proceeds (per Schrödinger's equation) - Any measurement (observation, knowledge of, etc.) collapses the quantum wave state to a particle - A particle is most likely to materialize where the amplitude of it's wave is greatest - At which points in space particles will materialize is based on their probability waves (the probabilty of any particular outcome is the wave function squared) - A massless particle upon creation jumps instantly to the speed of light - Quarks, all of ⅓ or ⅔ +/- charge must always combine to form entities with zero or unit charge - Quarks, observed only as components of composite particles, have charges in thirds - Observed particles have electric charge of 0, +/-1, +/-2, etc.; never observed quarks - Particles cannot have fractional orbital angular momentum but only 0, ħ (h-bar), 2ħ, 3ħ, etc. - Leptons (electrons, etc.), nucleons, & quarks' spin angular momentum must be half-odd-integer ½ħ, etc. - Bosons (photons, etc.) and mesons have integral spin (i.e., in integers; pion = 0; photons, gluons = 1; etc.) - If a baryon decays the number of baryons must be conserved - A free neutron decays in minutes whereas it is stable within the nuclei of all the non-radioactive elements   (otherwise eventually only hydrogen would exist because the strong nuclear force needs neutrons to overcome proton repulsion) - A proton can't decay because it is the lightest baryon (otherwise all elements would be unstable) - Waves have "allowed regions" based on conservation laws - If a baryon decays the electrical charge must be conserved - Virtual particles differ in mass but conserve the energy and momentum of their corresponding particle - Angular momentum must be quantized in magnitude - Angular momentum must be quantized in direction - Bosons can occupy the same quantum state - All particles decay (strong 10-23 s; e-m 10-16 s; weak 10-13 s) unless prevented by conservation laws - All known conservation laws:   -- energy   -- momentum   -- angular momentum J, but orbital (integer ħ) and spin (half-integer ħ) can transfer back and forth       --- orbital (bosons include photons, gluons, Higgs, conventional mesons, etc.)       --- spin (fermions which include leptons, baryons & quarks, etc.)   -- charge   -- baryon number (i.e., quark number, in protons, neutrons, Lambdas, Sigmas, etc.) - Conservation laws that have exceptions (as in, "Do not divorce, except for sexual immorality" Mat. 19:9)   -- lepton number (electrons, muons, taus, and their neutrinos, violated including in neutrino oscillation)   -- lepton flavor conservation (neutrinos?) While Wikipedia has a list of QM equations, RSR posted the above because we've been unable to find a published list of all known quantum rules. If you know of such a list, or have any corrections or additions, please contact us at Bob@rsr.org. Thanks!

Last we heard he was in Kansas City and making good time. We’re not sure how long we’re going to have to do without him as Comcast seems to be slow playing him on his internet installation timeline.Why Freeze the Whole Room If you Just want a Frozen Atom?Our big topic today is the quantum computing company ColdQuanta. It’s headed by an old pal of ours Bo Ewald and has just come out of stealth mode into the glaring spotlight of RadioFreeHPC. They have a unique approach to quantum computing, trapping atoms themselves to create Bose-Einstein Condensate. This is a fifth state of matter, which matters quite a bit. When you freeze a gas of Bosons at low density to near zero, you start to get macroscopic access to microscopic quantum mechanical effects, which is a pretty big deal. With the quantum mechanics start, you can control it, change it, and get computations out of it. The secret sauce for ColdQuanta is served cold, all the way down into the micro-kelvins and kept very locally, which makes it easier to get your condensate.The company is focused on measurement and sensing but also mention straight computation, the latter like most of the other quantum competitors. They were the first company to put their quantum computer in space and the first to create Bose-Einstein Condensate while in orbit at the International Space Station.Catch of the WeekJessi:  Want to chill out and help NASA at the same time? Jessi has found a way with NeMO-Net, a game where users cruise through an animated ocean floor and classify coral structures. Your answers are then fed into NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer, which uses the data as fodder to improve it’s own identification prowess. It’s a great way to while away the hours during these Covid19 shut downs, right?Shahin:  has two catches, the first is a celebration of IBM’s quant-iversary, marking the fourth anniversary of them having a quantum computer on the web – many happy returns to Big Blue. They’re also sponsoring a contest, see the web link for details.In his second catch, Shahin shamelessly promotes his recent talk at the HPC AI Advisory Council virtual Stanford conference. He did a great job on covering just about every buzzword topic in the industry in only 30 minutes, well done.Dan:  Dano likes fast things and seeing fast things get even faster. This is what attracted him to the story about ISV Risk Fuel and Microsoft’s Azure posting an article boasting a 20 million x speedup of derivative processing.  A 20 million times speedup of anything is pretty significant and they achieve this with a combination of 8 NVIDIA V100 GPUs (w/32GB memory each), InfiniBand and Risk Fuel’s amazing software. What’s great about this is that with this speed the model has complete fidelity with traditional calculations. In other words, you can speed all you like without any downside when it comes to accuracy – amazing stuff.Join us!* Download the MP3 * Sign up for the insideHPC Newsletter* Follow us on Twitter * Subscribe on Spotify * Subscribe on Google Play * Subscribe on iTunes * RSS Feed * eMail us

LE MYTHE DU DÉSÉQUILIBRE CHIMIQUE DU CERVEAU Par Albert Moukheiber, Chiasma x Belleville by Boson Belleville by Boson c’est un lieu ouvert par The Boson Project. Et pour que vous compreniez mieux qui on est, un petit mot sur ce qu’est un Boson : Le Boson de Higgs c’est une particule élémentaire de l’univers, une particule indivisible. Plus petite qu’un atome, plus petite qu’un électron… Mais c’est aussi ce qui donne de la masse à la matière, c’est ce qui fait qu’on existe quelque part. Donc c’est tout petit, mais c’est aussi indispensable à l’ensemble.  Et nous, nous sommes persuadés que nous sommes tous des Bosons. En tant que citoyens, en tant que collaborateurs, nous sommes les particules élémentaires qui font bouger les lignes dans nos sociétés et dans nos entreprises.  Donc on a créé ce lieu pour se Bosoniser tous ensemble. Un lieu où on pourrait tous s’interroger, s’informer, s’engager, se questionner, s’ouvrir, s’inspirer. Et nous croyons beaucoup à l’interdisciplinarité. Parce qu’en cultivant la découverte, le croisement des disciplines, des sensibilités, des regards, on ne peut que mieux “faire société” ensemble, et donc être des meilleurs Bosons. C’est pour ça qu’ici on fait venir des philosophes, des politiques, des écrivains, des entrepreneurs, des scientifiques, et je dirais même plus, des neuroscientifiques.  Il y a une chose qui nous semble assez essentiellr dans la société d’aujourd’hui, c’est de réhabiliter la complexité. Dans un monde qui est aujourd’hui mondialisé, interconnecté, systémique, on ne peut plus réduire une problématique à un seul champ d’études, on ne peut pas simplifier les problèmes et encore moins leurs solutions. On pense que la simplification, ça fait le lit du populisme, et que malheureusement on la retrouve bien trop souvent dans les discours des médias ou dans les débats de société. Des raccourcis, des parallèles douteux, des métaphores putes à clic.  Et ce que propose Chiasma, c’est assez édifiant. C’est nous mettre face à tous les mauvais arguments qu’on peut retrouver. Ça nous met face à tous les biais manipulateurs, et ça nous permet de consolider notre esprit critique. Et c’est essentiel l’esprit critique pour s’informer puis pour s’engager. C’est le pré-requis.  Découvrez dans ce podcast, une mini-conférence d'Albert Moukheiber qui illustre la nécessité de réhabiliter le doute et de vérifier les sources des informations que nous utilisons dans les débats en prenant l'exemple de la théorie du déséquilibre chimique du cerveau

How far back can we trace the ancestry of dogs? For just how long have they been following us around? The answer is for a very long time - long before humans settled down and developed societies. Scientists in France have been looking at ancient dog DNA to try and work out whether people tamed and domesticated local dogs as they migrated across the planet, or brought dogs with them. The answer tells us much about the relationship - or rather lack of it, between early farmers and the hunter gathers they replaced throughout Europe. And how many Bosons can you fit in a rocket? As they are rather small particles the answer will be quite a lot, but a team from Germany has succeeded in making a form of mater known as the Bose Einstein Condensate in a small rocket which they launched into the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Potentially the success of their experiment could lead to new ways of detecting gravitational waves in space. Back on earth a group of ‘A’ level students have been looking at or rather listening to data from space, and published a scientific paper on their observation of a solar storm. In a unique partnership with university physics researchers, information on electromagnetic waves around our planet has been turned into audible data. The keen ears of the students identified events that had not previously been detected. And how incriminating is your washing machine? Digital forensics, the unpicking of the data trails on our digital devices, from phones to TV tuners, even baby monitors and washing machines are now playing a part in criminal investigations, not just cases involving online fraud or cybercrime, but any investigation looking at what suspects were doing and when. A digital trail can act as evidence for time and place.

Listen to this podcast if you want a focused 40 minutes of laughing and learning in one place. He gives top insights into the world of science, business and learning with great ideas and heart-warming stories. TOPS TIPS FOCUS Focus in business and life is essential to success. Focus on what you can change. Don’t waste time worrying about things you can’t change. And keep a relentless focus on the thing you are doing and make it the most important thing above all else. SHOW DEDICATION TO YOUR BUSINESS Mait took a business loan to fund the company initially, this showed that he was keen to make it happen at great personnel risk with his house on the line. Proving to investors that you are really committed to making your idea a success is essential and if they know you are committed to it and are taking risks they can feel more safe with risking their own money. ENJOY THE RIDE Mait’s story about hiking and the pains you go through in a hike ends up delivering such a satisfying feeling at the end. When you realise that ‘future you’ will look back at ‘present you’ and the situation you are in as a really cool thing. You can enjoy the ride a lot more when you are aware that your problems are moments you will overcome and look back with fondness then you can appreciate and enjoy the moment itself much more, rather than letting it get you down.

Diese Arbeit pr"asentiert zwei Analysen des Zerfallskanals hwwlnln mit den Daten des ATLAS experiments am LHC. Die analysierten Daten wurden im Jahr 2011 bzw. 2012 bei einer Schwerpunktsenergie von $sqrt{s} = 7 TeV$ bzw. $8 TeV$ aufgezeichnet und es wurde eine integrierte Luminosit"at von $25,textrm{fb}^{-1}$ erreicht. Die beiden Analysen unterscheiden sich im analysierten Phasenraum, der von der Massen $m_{rm H}$ des Higgs boson Signals abh"angt. Die Analyse f"ur Massen $m_{rm H} < 200 GeV$ wurde "uber die letzten Jahre optimiert, um in der Lage zu sein, eine Pr"azisions Messung der Kopplungen einer Resonanz bei $m_{rm H} approx 125 GeV$ durchzuf"uhren. Dabei wird ein Likelihood Fit der transversalen Masse $mT = sqrt{ (E_{T}^{ell ell} + P_{T}^{nu nu})^2 - | vec{P_{T}^{ell ell}} + vec{P_{T}^{nu nu}|^2} }$ angewendet. Mit einer statistischen Signifikanz von $6.1 sigma$ konnte ein hwwlnln Signal bei einer Masse $m_{rm H} = 125.36 pm 0.41 GeV$ beobachtet werden. Die Messung der Signalst"arke, dem Verh"altniss von experimentell bestimmtem Produktionswirkungsquerschnitt mal Verzweigungsverh"altnis zur theoretischen Prognose, ergab folgenden Wert: begin{align*} mu &= 1.08,^{+0.16}_{+0.15} textrm{(stat.)} ,^{+0.16}_{-0.14} textrm{(syst.)}, end{align*} was im Einklang mit der Standard-Modell-Vorhersage steht. Die Skalierung der Kopplungen des Higgs bosons an Fermionen und Bosonen wurden bestimmt zu: begin{align*} kappa_{F} &= 0.92,^{+0.30}_{-0.23} kappa_{V} &= 1.04,^{+0.10}_{-0.11}. end{align*} Zur Suche nach schweren, Higgs boson artigen Teilchen wurde die Analyse des hwwlnln Zerfallskanals f"ur Massen $m_{rm H} > 200 GeV$ optimiert. Auch im hohen Massenbereich wird ein Likelihood Fit an der Verteilung der transversalen Masse mT durchgef"uhrt. Es wurden obere Grenzen auf Produktionswirkungsquerschnitt mal Verzweigungsverh"altnis f"ur drei Szenarien bestimmt: Standard-Model-Higgs-Boson im Massenbereich $200 leq m_{rm H} leq 1 TeV$, Higgs boson artige Resonanz mit einer Zerfallsbreite von $1 GeV$ im Massenbereich $200 leq m_{rm H} leq 2 TeV$ und das elektroschwache Singlet Szenario im Massenbereich $200 leq m_{rm H} leq 1 TeV$, bei dem die Zerfallsbreite zus"atzlich zur Masse variiert wird. Es konnte in keinem getesteten Szenario ein statistisch signifikanter Daten"uberschuss beobachtet werden und dar"uberhinaus konnte ein Standard Modell artiges Higgs Boson bis zu einer Masse von $m_{rm H} = 661 GeV$ ausgeschlossen werden.

Review of Fermions and Bosons. Review of Fermi Gas. All about the Bose gas, and its ditsrubution function. In the classical limit, the Fermi-Dirac distribution function and the Bose-Einstein distribution function approach the same form, and we recover ideal gas physics. We derive many properties about the ideal gas, and extend it to the case of internal degrees of freedom. More detail about the equipartition theorem, and how as temperature is raised, the heat capacity jumps up every time a new degree of freedom becomes excited. Example: Diatomic molecule. (Visual aids: many diatomic molecule models made from balls and springs.) Example: Experimental verification of the ideal gas law through the Sackur-Tetrode equation for entropy. Lecture Audio

Bestimmung der Masse und Breite des W-Bosons im semileptonischen Zerfallskanal mit dem OPAL Detektor bei LEP

Diese Arbeit ist eine Weiterentwicklung der beim OPAL-Experiment verwendeten Faltungsmethode zur Bestimmung der Masse des geladenen Eichbosons der schwachen Wechselwirkung. Die Methode wurde ausgeweitet auf eine gleichzeitige Bestimmung der Masse Mw und der Zerfallsbreite Gw des W-Boson genannten Eichbosons. Analysiert wurden dazu Daten, die mit dem OPAL-Experiment in den Jahren 1997 bis 2000 aufgezeichnet wurden. Von den möglichen Zerfällen der erzeugten W-Bosonpaare werden nur semileptonische betrachtet, bei denen ein W-Boson hadronisch in ein Quark-Antiquark-Paar zerfällt und das andere in ein geladenes Lepton und ein Neutrino. In der Faltungsmethode werden die aus der Detektorauflösung resultierenden Fehler der einzelnen Ereignisse berücksichtigt. Dazu wird eine Funktion P(m) für jedes Ereignis ermittelt, welche die Wahrscheinlichkeit angibt, daß die produzierten W-Bosonen eine mittlere Masse m haben. Diese sogenannte Ereigniswahrscheinlichkeitsdichte wird mit einer Physikfunktion PF(m;Mw,Gw) gefaltet, die von den Parametern Masse Mw und Zerfallsbreite Gw des W-Bosons abhängt. Sie beschreibt die Erzeugungswahrscheinlichkeit der W-Bosonpaare unter Berücksichtigung von Photonabstrahlung im Anfangszustand. Aus dieser Faltung erhält man eine von Mw und Gw abhängige Ereignis-Likelihoodfunktion, die ein Wahrscheinlichkeitsmaß dafür ist, daß dieses Ereignis von einem W-Boson mit den Parametern Mw und Gw herrührt. Aus allen selektierten semileptonischen W-Bosonereignissen wird eine Gesamt-Likelihood-Funktion L(Mw,Gw) berechnet. Durch Maximierung dieser Funktion bezüglich Mw und Gw ist erstmals bei OPAL eine gleichzeitige Bestimmung der Masse und Breite des W-Bosons möglich. Mit einer integrierten Gesamtluminosität von 683.84 pb^-1, die in den Jahren 1997 bis 2000 bei Schwerpunktsenergien von 183 bis 208 GeV vom OPAL-Experiment aufgezeichnet wurden, ergibt sich aus den semileptonischen Zerfällen von W-Bosonpaaren ein Wert für die Masse Mw und Breite Gw des W-Bosons zu: Mw = 80.424 +- 0.077 GeV/c^2 Gw = 2.126 +- 0.130 GeV/c^2 Die gemessenen Parameter befinden sich in guter Übereinstimmung mit den Vorhersagen des Standardmodells der Teilchenphysik.
