44. Cosmological magnetic fields

Andrii Neronov (Universite de Geneve (CH))

4/15/14, 11:00 AM

Magnetic fields found in different structures in the Universe, including galaxies and galaxy clusters, are the results of amplification of much weaker magnetic fields which existed before or were generated simultaneously with the process of structure formation. Uncertainty of the origin of the initial weakest magnetic fields at the origin of the amplification process constitutes one of the...

66. Dark forces and new physics at the intensity frontier

Maxim POSPELOV

4/15/14, 12:15 PM

New physics can be relatively strongly coupled and heavy, or it can be light and very weakly coupled to the SM. In the last five years, the interest to the second possibility has increased thanks to the advances in experimental possibilities to search for such particles at the intensity frontier experiments. Often, these new states are helping theorists to construct more viable dark matter...
