1. Testing the Pauli Exclusion Principle for electrons

CPT symmetry, decoherence, Lorentz symmetry breaking

The Pauli Principle represents one of the most important rules in physics and explains numerous phenomena in physics as well as characteristic properties of matter, like its stability. Testing the validity of this principle at the highest possible sensitivity is a challenging experimental task - the VIP experiment at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory aims at a limit of the order of 10^-29...

70. Deviating from the canonical: induced noncommutativity

Prof. Chryssomalis Chryssomalakos (ICN UNAM)

CPT symmetry, decoherence, Lorentz symmetry breaking

We examine mechanisms that lead to modified canonical commutation relations, which lie at the heart of CPT symmetries. We find that the effective description of slow degrees of freedom, coupled to fast ones in the adiabatic regime, leads to novel forms of noncommutativity - a concrete example of a quantum field theory with these characteristics is presented.

73. Strong Interactions, (De)coherence and Quarkonia

Dr Bhupendra Nath Tiwari (LNF)

CPT symmetry, decoherence, Lorentz symmetry breaking

Quarkonia are the central objects to explore the non-perturbative nature of non-abelian gauge theories. We describe the confinement-deconfinement phases for heavy quarkonia in a hot QCD medium and thereby the statistical nature of the inter-quark forces. In the sense of one-loop quantum effects, we propose that the "quantum" nature of quark matters follows directly from the thermodynamic...
