Abelian instantons and monopole scattering by Csaba Csáki, Rotem Ovadia, Ofri Telem, John Terning, Shimon Yankielowicz

“…This theory, whose non-topological sectors were studied by Rubakov and Callan, has a far richer structure than previously explored. We show how to calculate the topological instanton number, demonstrate the existence of ’t Hooft zero modes localized around such instantons, and show how instantons in the path integral provide the underlying mechanism for the Callan-Rubakov process: monopole-catalyzed baryon decay with a cross section that saturates the unitarity bound. …”

Constraining sulphur yields of trachytic and phonolitic volcanic eruptions: Tambora, Vesuvius, Laacher See and Campi Flegrei by Scaillet, Bruno, Oppenheimer, Clive, Cioni, Raffaello, Scaillet, Stephane,  Moussallam, Yves, Prouteau, Gaelle, Andujar, Joan

“…Here, we draw on available petrological and thermodynamical constraints, accounting for uncertainty in pre-eruptive magma redox state, to quantify pre-eruptive sulphur budgets for several prominent phonolite–trachyte eruptions. We thereby calculate upper limits for suphur yields for the 13 kyr calBP Laacher See eruption (3–15 Tg S), the plinian component of the 39.85 ka Campanian Ignimbrite (2–9 Tg S), and the 1890 calBCE “Avellino” and 79 CE eruptions of Vesuvius. …”
