Physics of the gluon mass gap
It has long been known that the gluon propagator in Landau-gauge QCD exhibits a mass gap; and its emergence has been ascribed to the action of the Schwinger mechanism in the gauge sector of QCD. In the present work, we relate this property to the physical mass gap of QCD by considering two observables associated with confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, namely the confinement-deconfinement transition temperature and the pion decay constant, respectively. It turns out that the first observa…

Klar wird im Nationalrat auch Politik gemacht. Manchmal fühlt es sich aber eher nach Polemik an.
So hat #SVP-Nationalrat Christian Imark gerade eine Interpellation mit «Digitale Souveränität der Schweiz ist Realität!» betitelt, selbstverständlich inklusive Ausrufezeichen.
Viel Substanz findet man allerdings nicht, wie genau die

Inertial Imaging of Dual Mass Distributions on a Graphene Nanodrum: A Computational Study
This paper presents the possibility for inertial imaging of spatially patterned annular mass distributions of a circular graphene nanodrum resonator. By placing two distinct analytes in concentric annular regions, we harness the vibrational mode-specific sensitivities of the nanodrum to estimate their respective mass densities. An analytical formulation based on the Rayleigh-Ritz principle is developed to relate radial mass loading to modal frequency shifts. Finite element simulations are perfo…
