Journal Article

In braneworld collisions fermions originally localised on one brane can be transferred to another brane, or to a space-time boundary. By modelling branes as scalar field kinks we bounce them off boundaries and study resulting effects according to a b... Read More about The fermion spectrum in braneworld collisions.

Singular manifolds, topology change and the dynamics of compactification (2007)
Journal Article

We investigate the dynamics of the geometric transitions associated to compactified spacetimes. By including the dynamics of gravity we are able to follow the evolution of collapsing cycles as they attempt to undergo a topology changing transition. R...

Particle transfer in braneworld collisions (2007)
Journal Article
Saffin, P. M., & Tranberg, A. (2007). Particle transfer in braneworld collisions. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007(8), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2007/08/072

We study the behaviour of fermions localized on moving kinks as these collide with either antikinks or spacetime boundaries. We numerically solve for the evolution of the scalar kinks and the bound (i.e. localized) fermion modes, and calculate the nu... Read More about Particle transfer in braneworld collisions.

Oscillons and quasi-breathers in D+1 dimensions (2007)
Journal Article
Saffin, P. M., & Tranberg, A. (2007). Oscillons and quasi-breathers in D+1 dimensions. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2007/01/030

We study oscillons in D+1 space-time dimensions using a spherically symmetric ansatz. From Gaussian initial conditions, these evolve by emitting radiation, approaching quasi-breathers'', near-periodic solutions to the equations of motion. Using a tru...
