Lorentz-violating nonminimal coupling contributions in mesonic hydrogen atoms and generation of photon higher-order derivative terms
We have studied the contributions of Lorentz-violating CPT-odd and CPT-even
nonminimal couplings to the energy spectrum of the mesonic hydrogen and the
higher-order radiative corrections to the effective action of the photon sector
of a Lorentz-violating version of the scalar electrodynamics. By considering
the complex scalar field describes charged mesons (pion or kaon), the
non-relativistic limit of the model allows to attain upper-bounds by analyzing
its contribution to the mesonic hydrogen energy. By using the experimental data
for the strong correction shift and the pure QED transitions , the best upper-bound for the CPT-odd coupling is
and for the CPT-even one is
. Besides, the CPT-odd radiative correction to the
photon action is a dimension-5 operator which looks like a higher-order
Carroll-Field-Jackiw term. The CPT-even radiative contribution to the photon
effective action is a dimension-6 operator which would be a higher-order
derivative version of the minimal CPT-even term of the standard model
extension
Electrolytes between dielectric charged surfaces: Simulations and theory
We present a simulation method to study electrolyte solutions in a dielectric
slab geometry using a modified 3D Ewald summation. The method is fast and easy
to implement, allowing us to rapidly resum an infinite series of image charges.
In the weak coupling limit, we also develop a mean-field theory which allows us
to predict the ionic distribution between the dielectric charged plates. The
agreement between both approaches, theoretical and simulational, is very good,
validating both methods. Examples of ionic density profiles in the strong
electrostatic coupling limit are also presented. Finally, we explore the
confinement of charge asymmetric electrolytes between neutral surfaces
Coupling vortex dynamics with collective excitations in Bose-Einstein Condensates
Here we analyze the collective excitations as well as the expansion of a
trapped Bose-Einstein condensate with a vortex line at its center. To this end,
we propose a variational method where the variational parameters have to be
carefully chosen in order to produce reliable results. Our variational
calculations agree with numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
The system considered here turns out to exhibit four collective modes of which
only three can be observed at a time depending of the trap anisotropy. We also
demonstrate that these collective modes can be excited using well established
experimental methods such as modulation of the s-wave scattering length

Effects of a CPT-even and Lorentz-violating nonminimal coupling on the electron-positron scattering
We propose a new \emph{CPT}-even and Lorentz-violating nonminimal coupling
between fermions and Abelian gauge fields involving the CPT-even tensor
of the standard model extension. We thus
investigate its effects on the cross section of the electron-positron
scattering by analyzing the process .
Such a study was performed for the parity-odd and parity-even nonbirefringent
components of the Lorentz-violating tensor.
Finally, by using experimental data available in the literature, we have
imposed upper bounds as tight as on the magnitude of the
CPT-even and Lorentz-violating parameters while nonminimally coupled.Comment: LaTeX2e, 06 pages, 01 figure
