    A self-consistent study of magnetic field effects on hybrid stars

    B. Franzon🇩🇪 · V. Dexheimer🇺🇸 · S. Schramm🇩🇪

    In this work we study the effects of strong magnetic fields on hybrid stars by using a full general-relativity approach, solving the coupled Maxwell-Einstein equation in a self-consistent way. The magnetic field is assumed to be axi-symmetric and poloidal. We take into consideration the anisotropy of the energy-momentum tensor due to the magnetic field, magnetic field effects on equation of state, the interaction between matter and the magnetic field (magnetization), and the anomalous magnetic moment of the hadrons. The equation of state used is an extended hadronic and quark SU(3) non-linear realization of the sigma model that describes magnetized hybrid stars containing nucleons, hyperons and quarks. According to our results, the effects of the magnetization and the magnetic field on the EoS do not play an important role on global properties of these stars. On the other hand, the magnetic field causes the central density in these objects to be reduced, inducing major changes in the populated degrees of freedom and, potentially, converting a hybrid star into a hadronic star.

    TeV Lepton Number Violation: From Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay to the LHC

    Tao Peng🇺🇸 · Michael J. Ramsey-Musolf🇺🇸 · Peter Winslow🇺🇸

    We analyze the sensitivity of next-generation tonne-scale neutrinoless double -decay () experiments and searches for same-sign di-electrons plus jets at the Large Hadron Collider to TeV scale lepton number violating interactions. Taking into account previously unaccounted for physics and detector backgrounds at the LHC, renormalization group evolution, and long-range contributions to nuclear matrix elements, we find that the reach of tonne-scale generally exceeds that of the LHC. However, for a range of heavy particle masses near the TeV scale, the high luminosity LHC and tonne-scale may provide complementary probes.

    Solving the NLO BK equation in coordinate space

    T. Lappi🇫🇮 · H. Mäntysaari🇫🇮

    We present results from a numerical solution of the next-to-leading order (NLO) Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation in coordinate space in the large Nc limit. We show that the solution is not stable for initial conditions that are close to those used in phenomenological applications of the leading order equation. We identify the problematic terms in the NLO kernel as being related to large logarithms of a small parent dipole size, and also show that rewriting the equation in terms of the "conformal dipole" does not remove the problem. Our results qualitatively agree with expectations based on the behavior of the linear NLO BFKL equation.
