O PROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM FÍSICA convida para o seminário:

Espalhamento de pósitrons de baixas energias por átomos e moléculas*

Prof. Dr. Wagner Tenfen

UFPel

*Evento de presença obrigatória da disciplina seminários

Resumo:

Neste seminário discutiremos a evolução da comparação entre os dados experimentais e teóricos das seções de choque de colisão entre pósitrons de baixas energias com átomos e moléculas. Notando que os resultados experimentais mais recentes são incompatíveis com os resultados antigos, bem como com os dados teóricos disponíveis na literatura, indicaremos uma aproximação simples capaz de justificar estas diferenças e produzir seções de choque em acordo com as medidas de seções de choque totais e diferenciais na região de baixas energias. Um conjunto de novos resultados serão apresentados, assim como um conjunto de perspectivas.

Stellar Structures in Galaxies: Insights from the Local Universe*

Profa. Dra. Karín Menéndez-Delmestre

Observatório do Valongo/UFRJ

*Evento de presença obrigatória da disciplina seminários

Resumo:

Galaxies in the local universe are a fossil record of events in the distant universe and present critical constraints on the physical processes underlying the formation and evolution of galaxies. Understanding the variety in properties of galaxies today is thus key to unveiling how galaxies form and transform across cosmic time. We have been plunging into deep imaging of nearby galaxies to get a careful mapping of where stellar mass is concentrated in galaxies. Galaxies present a myriad of distinct stellar structures. We focus on structures that typically characterise local galaxies — such as bulges, disks, bars, and spiral arms — with the intention of building a present-day benchmark to understand the different agents that dictate when and where stars form and through which processes (giant galaxy collisions, interactions with smaller galaxies, etc.). We have also recently launched a long-term observing program to produce the deepest mapping of galaxies accessible from the Southern Hemisphere, complementing the exquisite work that has been performed in the north. I will show a number of discoveries we have made and give you a preview of the exciting work we are doing with our nascent southern survey.

Unification of QCD Running Coupling and β-funtion on any Q²scale*

Dr. Adamu Issifu

Pós-doutorando do PPGFSC

*Evento de presença obrigatória da disciplina seminários

Resumo:

In this work, we investigate QCD-like running coupling α_s^AdS(Q²) and its associated β-function β(Q²) in the spirit of tachyonic AdS/QCD. We distort the AdS5 conformal symmetry using a color dielectric function G(ϕ(z)) associated with tachyons, with ϕ(z) the tachyon field. The G(ϕ(z)) presents different properties of α_s^AdS(Q²) at small and large values of the fifth-dimensional holographic variable z. The G(ϕ(z)) distorts the AdS5 space, giving α_s^AdS(Q²) and its β(Q²) at any Q²scale. The result obtained for large value of z shows characteristics similar to nonperturbative QCD. On the other hand, the result obtained for a small value of z shows characteristics similar to perturbative QCD. Free tachyons are responsible for distortions at small z. On the contrary, condensed tachyon states lead to large z distortion. This provides a unified background for determining α_s^AdS(Q²) and its β(Q²) in both the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) regions in a unified framework. 

Furthermore, we show that the tachyonic field ϕ is associated with glueball field φ, and the color dielectric function is associated with higher dimensional operator H_µνH^µν coupled to a Standard Model (SM) gauge field O_SM that leads to strongly interacting light glueballs. The results obtained from the study are compared with effective couplings determined from different observables such as; lattice QCD, QCD phenomenology, and g₁ scheme extracted from the well-measured Bjorken sum rule. Our approach brings new perspective to AdS/QCD, where pQCD coupling characteristics can be determined through direct UV deformation of the AdS₅ space instead of extrapolation from the IR deformation of the AdS space. Again, we determine the parameter that controls the transition from the pQCD to nonperturbative QCD. 

Finally, we show that α_s(Q²) and β(Q²) are related to strongly interacting scalar glueballs with mass mϕ and discuss its effect. Landau singularity that marks the failure of perturbative QCD was examined in the model framework. The α_s(Q²) is a subject of active research due to its limited understanding in the low momentum transfer region. A good knowledge of α_s(Q²) at Q → ∞ is also necessary to match the growing precision of hadron scattering experiments and enhance the understanding of high energy unification of strongly interacting and electroweak theories. Nonetheless, a precise understanding of α_s(Q²) at Q → 0 on the scale of proton mass enables us to understand hadron structure, confinement, and hadronization.
