Twisted mass QCD at finite temperature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We discuss the use of Wilson fermions with twisted mass for simulations of QCD thermodynamics. As a prerequisite for a future analysis of the finite-temperature transition making use of automatic O(a) improvement, we investigate the phase structure in ...

Combining the complex Langevin method and the generalized Lefschetz-thimble method

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
The complex Langevin method and the generalized Lefschetz-thimble method are two closely related approaches to the sign problem, which are both based on complexification of the original dynamical variables. The former can be viewed as a generalization of

Detection of Toxic Gases and Volatile Organic Compounds Using Highly Adsorptive Nanomaterials: A Comprehensive Assessment

open access: yesEcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This review highlights how nanomaterials with high adsorption capacities including carbon‐based structures, transition metal oxides, 2D layers, and zeolites enable sensitive and selective detection of toxic gases and VOCs. Their tailored properties and sensing mechanisms drive the development of next‐generation gas sensors for environmental and ...

Correlations among discontinuities in the QCD phase diagram [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 2009
We show, in general, that when a discontinuity of either zeroth-order or first-order takes place in an order parameter such as the chiral condensate, discontinuities of the same order emerge in other order parameters such as the Polyakov loop. A condition for the coexistence theorem to be valid is clarified. Consequently, only when the condition breaks

The first second of leptons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Stuke M. The first second of leptons. Bielefeld (Germany): Bielefeld University; 2011.We study the influence of lepton asymmetries on the evolution of the early Universe. The lepton asymmetry l is poorly constrained by observations and might be orders of

QCD phase structure & equation of state: A functional perspective* [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
The phase structure of QCD remains an open fundamental problem of standard model physics. In particular at finite density, our knowledge is limited. Yet, numerous model studies point towards a rich and complex phase diagram at large density.

Highly Variable Methane Production and Fluxes in a Hypereutrophic Lake Despite Uniform Bathymetry and Sediment Chemistry

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Hypereutrophic lakes support high sedimentation of labile organic carbon, promoting sediment anoxia and GHG potential production. Lakes with complex morphometry exhibit extensive spatial heterogeneity in sediment methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide CO2 dynamics. We wondered: do lakes with uniform bathymetry show low spatial variation in sediments'

Study of QCD-like theories at nonzero temperatures and densities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this thesis I use effective models to investigate the properties of QCD-like theories at nonzero temperature and baryon chemical potential. First I construct a PNJL model using a lattice spin model with nearestneighbor interactions for the gauge ...

The phase diagram of strong interactions from lattice QCD simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We summarize the present status of our knowledge of the phase diagram of strong interactions, as it emerges from lattice QCD simulations.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.
