If reheating of the Universe takes place via Planck-suppressed decay, it seems that the thermalization of produced particles might be delayed, since they have large energy/small number densities and number violating large angle scatterings…
We calculate parity nonconserving observables in the processes where a neutron is captured on a proton at the threshold energy radiating a photon. Various potential models such as Paris, Bonn and Argonne $v18$ are used for the strong…
We provide an explicit analytical calculation that shows the asymptotic approach of the one dimensional Caldeira-Leggett model to thermal equilibrium in the high temperature and weak coupling limit. We investigate a free particle and a…
This dissertation examines the phenomenology of statistical hadronization at ultrarelativistic energies. We start with an overview of current experimental and theoretical issues in Relativistic heavy ion physics. We then introduce…
Leptogenesis can successfully explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry via out-of-equilibrium decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos in the early Universe. In this article, we focus on non-resonant thermal leptogenesis and the possibility of…
We study the problem of the approach to equilibrium in a macroscopic quantum system in an abstract setting. We prove that, for a typical choice of "nonequilibrium subspace", any initial state (from the energy shell) thermalizes, and in fact…
We propose a parametrization of the lepton mixing matrix in terms of an expansion in powers of the deviations of the reactor, solar and atmospheric mixing angles from their tri-bimaximal values. We show that unitarity triangles and neutrino…
We discuss a multiscale Galerkin approximation scheme for a system of coupled quasilinear parabolic equations. These equations arise from the upscaling of a pore scale filtration combustion model under the assumptions of large Damkh\"oler…
We consider leptogenesis in scenarios with many neutrino singlets. We find that the lower bound for the reheating temperature can be significantly relaxed with respect to the hierarchical three neutrino case. We further argue that the upper…
Astrophysical models studying the origin of the p-nuclei require knowledge of the reaction rates of photodisintegrations and capture reactions. Since experimental data at astrophysically relevant energies are limited, reaction rate…
We show that the data on $\gamma p$ and $\gamma\gamma$ interactions can be derived from the $pp$ and $\bar p p$ forward scattering amplitudes using vector meson dominance and the additive quark model. The nucleon-nucleon data are…
The linear $\delta$ expansion is used to obtain corrections up to O$(\delta^2)$ to the self-energy for a complex scalar field theory with a $\lambda (\phi^{\star}\phi)^2$ interaction at high temperature and non-zero charge density. The…
The interaction of light with a material's electronic system creates an out-of-equilibrium (non-thermal) distribution of optically excited electrons. Non-equilibrium dynamics relaxes this distribution on an ultrafast timescale to a hot…
Given a bounded finely open set $V$ and a function $f$ on the fine boundary of $V$, we introduce four types of upper Perron solutions to the nonlinear Dirichlet problem for $p$-energy minimizers, $1<p<\infty$, with $f$ as boundary data.…
The thermal-to-percolative crossover exponent \phi, well-known for ferromagnetic systems, is studied extensively for Edwards-Anderson spin glasses. The scaling of defect energies are determined at the bond percolation threshold p_c, using…
