Cross-Correlation Power Spectra and Cosmic Birefringence of the CMB via Photon-Neutrino Interaction

PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS

Abstract: We have shown that in the context of the standard model of particles, the weak interaction of cosmic microwave background (CMB) and cosmic neutrino background (CnuB), in order of one loop forward scattering, can generate non-vanishing TB and EB power spectra in the presence of scalar perturbation which is in contrast with the standard scenario cosmology. By comparing our results with current experimental data, significant information can be extracted about the nature of CnuB which the contribution of CMB-CnuB forward scattering for TB, TE, and EB power spectra in the case of CnuB as Majorana particles is twice larger than in the cas ...

ASTRONOMY

Recently, some conjectures were proposed in the context of string theory. These are general limitations on the effective field theories (EFTs) that are used in cosmology. I will review two important and reasonable conjectures that separately constrained the background and perturbation sectors of EFT useful to study the inflation paradigm. I will explain that there are models in the landscape of these conjectures and compatible with observation as well. Warm inflation is the first idea introduced as an alternative to standard (cold) inflation mixing the slow-roll and reheating epochs. Chromo-Natural inflation is also a model of inflation with ...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Case studies for protein interaction with nanoparticles and nanostructures

Abstract:

Thanks to the vast development of computer technology and algorithm improvements along with the enhanced ability in controlling of the simulation conditions, and probing the molecular process of cell biology, there are more available rooms to employ molecular dynamics to study systems of interest. In this presentation, I will review some of my recent works in studying the interaction of some proteins with nanosheets, an Aptamer and Mannose using molecular dynamics simulation to investigate th ...
