We investigate the system size scaling of the net defect number created by a rapid quench in a second-order quantum phase transition from an O(N) symmetric state to a phase of broken symmetry. Using a controlled mean-field expansion for…
Non-leptonic two-body decays are discussed on the basis of a generalized factorization approach. It is shown that a satisfactory description of numerous decay processes can be given using the same two parameters a_1^{eff} and a_2^{eff}.…
A quantum phase transition between the symmetric (polar) phase and the phase with broken symmetry can be induced in a ferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate in space (rather than in time). We consider such a phase transition and show…
