© 2019 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. We introduce a new picture of vacuum decay which, in contrast to existing semiclassical techniques, provides a real-time description and does not rely on classically forbidden tunneling path...

Analog cosmology with two-fluid systems in a strong gradient magnetic field (2019)
Journal Article
Fifer, Z., Torres, T., Erne, S., Avgoustidis, A., Hill, R. J. A., & Weinfurtner, S. (2019). Analog cosmology with two-fluid systems in a strong gradient magnetic field. Physical Review E, 99(3), Article 031101(R). https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.99.031101

We propose an experiment combining fluid dynamics and strong magnetic field physics to simulate cosmological scenarios. Our proposed system consists of two immiscible, weakly magnetized fluids moved through a strong gradient magnetic field. The diama...
