The energy-energy-correlator (EEC) observable in $e^+e^-$ annihilation measures the energy deposited in two detectors as a function of the angle between the detectors. The collinear limit, where the angle between the two detectors…
We investigate fracture and fragmentation of solids due to impact at low energies using a two-dimensional dynamical model of granular solids. Simulating collisions of two solid discs we show that, depending on the initial energy, the…

Granular flows through pipes show interesting phenomena, e.g. clogging and density waves, 1/f-noise. These things are fairly good studied by computer-experiments, but there is a lack in theoretical and analytical consideration. We introduce…

Bragg diffraction of atoms by light waves has been used to create high momentum components in a Bose-Einstein condensate. Collisions between atoms from two distinct momentum wavepackets cause elastic scattering that can remove a significant…
We study a kinetic mean-field equation for a system of particles with different sizes, in which particles are allowed to coagulate only if their sizes sum up to a prescribed time-dependent value. We prove well-posedness of this model, study…

Fragmented Bose-Einstein condensates are large systems of identical bosons displaying \emph{multiple} macroscopic occupations of one-body states, in a suitable sense. The quest for an effective dynamics of the fragmented condensate at the…
