FEATURED IN PHYSICS

Scanning the Earth with solar neutrinos and DUNE

A. N. Ioannisian, A. Yu. Smirnov, and D. Wyler

Phys. Rev. D 96, 036005 (2017) - Published 8 August, 2017

Future neutrino experiments may provide tomographic scans of Earth’s interior by viewing solar neutrinos that pass through our planet’s layers.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Critical point phase transition for finite temperature 3-flavor QCD with nonperturbatively $O (a)$ improved Wilson fermions at $N_{t} = 10$

Xiao-Yong Jin, Yoshinobu Kuramashi, Yoshifumi Nakamura, Shinji Takeda, and Akira Ukawa

Phys. Rev. D 96, 034523 (2017) - Published 30 August, 2017

The authors investigate the phase diagram of finite temperature QCD with three degenerate flavors. In particular, they determine the critical point in the mass-temperature plane where the first order chiral symmetry restoration transition, which is present at small mass, turns into a second order one. This is done in the continuum limit of the lattice regulated theory.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Minimally subtracted six-loop renormalization of $O (n)$ -symmetric $ϕ^{4}$ theory and critical exponents

Mikhail V. Kompaniets and Erik Panzer

Phys. Rev. D 96, 036016 (2017) - Published 31 August, 2017

The authors present new state-of-the-art six-loop perturbative results for renormalization group (RG) functions in a four-dimensional O(n) symmetric scalar quantum field theory. They also outline a procedure to obtain critical exponents, which can be applied to the corresponding two and three-dimensional theories as well.
