Charge-Swapping Q-balls and Their Lifetimes (2021)
Journal Article
Xie, Q.-X., Saffin, P. M., & Zhou, S.-Y. (2021). Charge-Swapping Q-balls and Their Lifetimes. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021(7), Article 62. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep07%282021%29062

For scalar theories accommodating spherically symmetric Q-balls, there are also towers of quasi-stable composite Q-balls, called charge swapping Q-balls (CSQs). We investigate the properties, particularly the lifetimes, of these long-lived CSQs in 2+... Read More about Charge-Swapping Q-balls and Their Lifetimes.

We consider quantum stochastic processes and discuss a level 2.5 large deviation formalism providing an explicit and complete characterisation of fluctuations of time-averaged quantities, in the large-time limit. We analyse two classes of quantum sto... Read More about Large Deviations at Level 2.5 for Markovian Open Quantum Systems: Quantum Jumps and Quantum State Diffusion.

Background: Fatigue is the inability to achieve or maintain an expected work output resulting from central or peripheral mechanisms. The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) fatigue can reach 86% in active disease, persisting in 50%-52% of...

In order to study the ram-pressure interaction between radio galaxies and the intracluster medium, we analyse a sample of 208 highly bent narrow-angle tail radio sources (NATs) in clusters, detected by the Low-Frequency Array Two-metre Sky Survey. Fo... Read More about Clusters’ far-reaching influence on narrow-angle tail radio galaxies.

Investigating cosmological GAN emulators using latent space interpolation (2021)
Journal Article

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been recently applied as a novel emulation technique for large-scale structure simulations. Recent results show that GANs can be used as a fast and efficient emulator for producing novel weak lensing conver...
