Galactic cosmic rays from star clusters and nearby supernovae remnants
Cosmic rays (CRs) are high-energy particles, predominantly originating from outside the Earth’s atmosphere. These particles, ranging from protons to heavier nuclei, propagate through space at nearly the speed of light, ... -
Generalizations Of The Quantum Search Algorithm
(2010-12-03)Quantum computation has attracted a great deal of attention from the scientific community in recent years. By using the quantum mechanical phenomena of superposition and entanglement, a quantum computer can solve certain ... -
Geometrical and Topological Properties of CMB Polarization Fields
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a relic from the early Universe. It was generated due to the physical processes in the early Universe during an epoch known as the recombination or decoupling epoch. The CMB has highly ... -
Glassy Dynamics in Active Matter
There has been much interest in the glassy dynamics of living systems at the scales of subcellular structures, cells and tissues. This has motivated theoretical studies on the approach to glassy behaviour in dense systems ... -
Global gyrokinetic simulations of electrostatic microturbulent transport in LHD stellarator and ADITYA-U tokamak
Tokamak and stellarator are two leading contenders in the quest to achieve nuclear fusion from magnetically-confined plasmas. They differ in terms of magnetic field structure in the toroidal direction. Irrespective of the ... -
