Non-Gaussianity from Particle Production during Inflation by Neil Barnaby

“…In a variety of models the motion of the inflaton may trigger the production of some non-inflaton particles during inflation, for example via parametric resonance or a phase transition. Such models have attracted interest recently for a variety of reasons, including the possibility of slowing the motion of the inflaton on a steep potential. …”

The Experimental Studies on Behavior of Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete Confined by Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Tubes by Zong-cai Deng, Jiu-ling Qu

“…The test results show that the local rupture of HFRP tubes did not lead to explosive failure of UHPC cylinder, and its ductility is better than that of UHPC confined by only one type of FRP tube; HFRP tube can effectively improve the compressive strength and ultimate strain of UHPC specimens; the stress-strain curves divide into three distinct regions: linear phase, transition phase, and linear strengthening phase. …”

Optical features and thermal properties of charged AdS Euler–Heisenberg black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter by M. R. Shahzad, G. Abbas, Tao Zhu, R. H. Ali, Asifa Ashraf, Badr S. Al-Kahtani

“…We also examined the extended second-order phase transition via P–V criticality. Finally, we extend our study to the optical features of the charged Euler–Heisenberg black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter, such as the black hole shadow and energy emission rate and observe the impact of the coupling parameter.…”

On Pseudorapidity Distribution and Speed of Sound in High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions Based on a New Revised Landau Hydrodynamic Model by Li-Na Gao, Fu-Hu Liu

“…Our results show that, in heavy ion collisions at energies of the two colliders, the central source undergoes a phase transition from hadronic gas to quark-gluon plasma liquid phase; meanwhile, the target/projectile sources remain in the state of hadronic gas. …”

Designing open quantum systems with known steady states: Davies generators and beyond by Jinkang Guo, Oliver Hart, Chi-Fang Chen, Aaron J. Friedman, Andrew Lucas

“…Our methods also reveal new models of quantum dynamics: for example, we provide a “measurement-induced phase transition” in which measurable two-point functions exhibit critical (power-law) scaling with distance at a critical ratio of the transverse field and rate of measurement and feedback. …”

The glass transition in molecules, colloids and grains: universality and specificity by Dauchot, Olivier, Ladieu, François, Royall, C. Patrick

“…We then review some experimental measurements which depend more specifically on the class of glassformer, such as the Gardner transition and some which have been investigated more in one or two classes than in all, such as configurational entropy and evidence for a dynamical phase transition. We finally put forward some open questions and consider what could be done to fill some of the gaps between theoretical approaches and experiments.…”
