Cosmology and particle physics come across a tight connection in the attempt
to reproduce quantitatively the results of experimental findings. Indeed, the
dark matter relic abundance and the amount of baryon asymmetry in the universe are accurately determined by the recent analysis of the cosmic microwave
background.
Majorana fermions enter in many scenarios of physics beyond the...

We study the shear and bulk viscosity coefficients as well as the thermal conductivity as arising from the collisions among phonons in superfluid neutron stars. We use effective field theory techniques to extract the allowed phonon collisional processes, written as a function of the equation of state and the gap of the system.
We analyze the shear viscosity taking into account the...

A chiral model based on nucleons interacting via boson exchange is investigated. Fluctuation effects are then included consistently beyond the mean-field approximation in the framework of the functional renormalization group. The liquid-gas phase transition of symmetric nuclear matter is studied in detail. No sign of a chiral restoration is found up to 100 MeV temperature and about three times...

The possible existence of nonuniform phases in cold dense quark matter in the light quark sector (u, d and s) is adressed using the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model extended to include flavor-mixing 't Hooft determinant. The effect of changes in the coupling strengths of the model as well as that of the value of the current mass of the strange quark is discussed.
It is seen that the inclusion of the...
