TPPC *extra* seminar (in-person; room S3.40): Michiru Niibo - "Formation of defects associated with both spontaneous and explicit symmetry breaking"

Thursday 5 Oct 2023, 13:00 → 15:00 Europe/London

Strand Building, S3.40

Speaker: Michiru Niibo 

Title: Formation of defects associated with both spontaneous and explicit symmetry breaking.

Abstract: We are going to discuss the formation of topological defects. In the context of particle physics, such as neutrinos and axions, there are usually both spontaneous and explicit symmetry breaking. We consider how the explicit symmetry breaking term affects defect formation.
