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.

Understanding the size of clutches produced by only one parent may require a game-theoretic approach: clutch size may affect offspring fitness in terms of future competitive ability. If larger clutches generate smaller offspring and larger adults are...
