Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Physics, Nuclear)In this talk, we discuss the discovery of a new Casimir effect that emerges from the quark field in dense, thin quark matter when the magnetic field is zero or non-zero. Surprisingly, in the dual chiral density wave (DCDW) phase, a candidate ground state of dense quark matter, the Casimir energy oscillates as a function of thickness. This finding highlights a novel oscillating Casimir phenomenon driven by QCD dynamics in extreme conditions.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Physics, Nuclear)In this talk, I discuss the general features of the Casimir effect induced from quantum fields at finite chemical potential, particularly at finite density. Historically, the thermal Casimir effect has been well-established by the cooperation between theory and experiment, whereas its counterpart at finite chemical potential is still not. This is because it is usually difficult to control the chemical potential of photons in equilibrium experimentally. On the other hand, if one focuses on fermionic systems, their chemical potentials may be a tunable parameter for the Casimir effect. In addition, various quantum many-body phenomena realized at finite fermion density can modify the typical property of the Casimir effect. Within some theoretical frameworks, we evaluate the Casimir energy for Dirac fields at finite density and particularly show an oscillatory behavior as a function of the separation of boundary conditions or the chemical potential. As physical and realistic examples of the Casimir effect at finite chemical potential, I discuss applications to fermion fields inside thin dense quark matter in hadron physics and to Dirac/Weyl semimetal thin films in solid-state physics. Such materials will be platforms to examine the fermionic Casimir effect at finite chemical potential.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Physics, Nuclear)We investigate the characteristics of Casimir energy within a lattice-regularized spacetime framework. Typically, Casimir energy requires a regularization procedure to remove divergences originating from vacuum fluctuations of quantum fields. In this work, we adopt lattice regularization, wherein discretization effects persist as long as the lattice spacing remains finite. We first detail how the Casimir energy is computed using both naive and Wilson fermion formulations. When discretization artifacts are limited to only a few lattice points, it becomes possible to recover the continuum Casimir energy by taking the continuum limit. To illustrate physical applications, we evaluate the Casimir energy for electron fields in Dirac/Weyl semimetals, where lattice effects are meaningfully retained, and for photon fields in axion electrodynamics, where the continuum limit is accurately reproduced.

Measurements were performed in-situ under pressure and temperature using a large-volume multi-anvil pressure apparatus and synchrotron radiation. XAFS spectra are useful for phase study under high temperature and high pressure. The XAFS Debye-Waller factor provides anharmonic effective pair potential with a pressure-dependent and temperature-independent shape. The phonon energies and anharmonicity are affected largely by the change in local structure and bonding character.

U at several incident energies, which were performed by the JAEA group. Using the dynamical model with the Langevin equation, we precisely investigate the incident energy dependence of the mass distribution of fission fragments. We also consider the fine structures in the mass distribution of fission fragments caused by the nuclear structure at a low incident energy. It is explained why the mass distribution of fission fragments has different features in the two reactions. The fusion cross sections are also estimated.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Physics, Nuclear)We investigate the non-uniform structures and the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter in the context of the first-order phase transitions (FOPT) such as liquid-gas phase transition, kaon condensation, and hadron-quark phase transition. During FOPT the mixed phases appear, where matter exhibits non-uniform structures called "Pasta" structures due to the balance of the Coulomb repulsion and the surface tension between two phases. We treat these effects self-consistently, properly taking into account of the Poisson equation and the Gibbs conditions. Consequently, they make the EOS of the mixed phase closer to that of Maxwell construction due to the Debye screening. This is a general feature of the mixed phase consisting of many species of charged particles. The EOS of hadron-quark mixed phase is particularly important for the maximum mass of compact stars, where we can see another interesting and novel effect that hyperons are suppressed in the hadron-quark mixed phase.

In the forthcoming decades, the physics of massive neutrinos will pose unprecedented challenges to traditional acceleration techniques. In this talk we revise the main motivations for pursuing neutrino oscillation studies with novel neutrino sources and, particularly, we consider the opportunities offered by laser-plasma accelerators. The existence of efficient ion acceleration regimes in collective laser-plasma interactions opens up the possibility to develop neutrino and, more generally, high-energy physics facilities in conjunction with projects for inertial confinement nuclear fusion (ICF) and neutron spallation sources. Moreover, parametric amplification techniques allow pulse compression implementations that do not fall in contradiction with current designs for ICF drivers. We discuss the conditions under which these efficient regimes can be put into operation and the perspectives for their empirical verification.

Laser ion production has been studied for downsizing of the accelerator dedicated for cancer therapy. For optimization of various parameters such as pre-pulse condition, target position, laser spot size on target, laser pulse width and so on, time of flight (TOF) measurement utilizing the detected signal by a plastic scintillation counter played an essential role for real time measurement. Protons up to 900 keV and 600 keV are produced from the thin foil targets of Ti 3 micron and 5 micron in thickness, respectively. Modification of the energy distribution of the laser-produced ions with Maxwell distribution by utilizing an RF electric field synchronized to the pulse laser, which is the rotation of the ion beam in the longitudinal phase space (phase rotation), has been demonstrated for the first time.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications)A liquid-gas model of lattice-gas is made by adding long-range interaction to lattice-gas and can simulate phase separation similar to that in the van der Waals' liquid-gas theory. This liquid-gas model can generate a circular dense-phase in the rare phase. In this paper, I simulate the deformation of the circular dense-phase by external force using the two types of liquid-gas models of lattice-gas, which are distinguished by the type of long-range interaction. It is observed in the simulation results that one type of model shows the valid deformation and the other shows the unphysical deformation. Futhermore it is found by numerical experiments that this difference of the deformation is caused by dynamical pressure anisotropy of the liquid-gas model of lattice-gas.
