Institut für Theoretische Physik - Universität Hamburg Corresponding Author: [email protected] Despite of the great success of the non-relativistic effective field theory (NREFT), explanation the huge heavy quarkonium production and decay data in a consistent way is still a big challenge. In this talk, we will first briefly review the current status of theoretical calculations confronting the experimental measurements. Then, some possible ways for resolving the conflicts in particular the J/\psi polarization puzzle will be discussed. Next, we will propose to apply the non-relativistic QCD factorization formulism to study the production of the newly discovered heavy quarkonium or quarkonium like "X,Y,Z" states in e+e−, pp collisions and other possible channels. In the end, we will summarize the resent works of our group in studying the heavy quarkonium production with NREFT approach. 2 Holography as effective field theory LANDSTEINER, Karl 1 1 Instituto de Fisica Teorica CSIC/UAM Corresponding Author: [email protected] I will briefly review the idea of the AdS/CFT correspondence (holography). Then I will concentrate on how it can be used to construct (toy) models of strongly coupled systems at finite temperature and density and which lessens can be extraced from this holographic approach. Some of the topics will include: holographic formulation of hydrodyamics, anomalous transport, holographic superdluids and Goldstone modes and holographic studies of thermalization. 3 Quantum simulation of correlated-hopping models with fermions in optical lattices Mr. DI LIBERTO, Marco 1 1 Utrecht University Corresponding Author: [email protected] By using a modulated magnetic field in a Feshbach resonance for ultracold fermionic atoms in optical lattices, we show that it is possible to engineer a class of models usually referred to as correlated-hopping models. These models differ from the Hubbard model in exhibiting additional density-dependent interaction terms that affect the hopping processes. In addition to the spin-SU(2) symmetry, they also possess a charge-SU(2) symmetry, which opens the possibility of investigating the $\eta$-pairing mechanism for superconductivity introduced by Yang for the Hubbard model. We discuss the known solution of the model in 1D (where $\eta$ states have been found in the degenerate manifold of the ground state) and show that, away from the integrable point, quantum Monte Carlo simulations at half filling predict the emergence of a phase with coexisting incommensurate spin and charge order. 1 EUBET 2014: Applications of effective field theories to particle physics, condensed matter and quantum optics / Book of abstracts 4 Possible new resonances in a strongly interacting electroweak-Higgs sector Authors: LLANES-ESTRADA, Felipe J. 1; Prof. DOBADO, Antonio 2 Co-Author: Mr. RAFAEL, Delgado 3 1 Universidad Complutense de Madrid 2 Univ. Complutense de Madrid 3 Univ. Complutense Madrid Corresponding Authors: [email protected], [email protected] If there is new physics in the electroweak breaking sector, the failed LHC searches suggest a mass gap, so the Higgs itself can be a Goldstone boson (as are the longitudinal vector bosons too). We can then formulate an effective theory for their interactions. With it, we have calculated the one-loop scattering amplitude among these four Goldstone bosons. Since the perturbative amplitude is polynomial in the energy, it breaks unitarity at a few TeV, depending on the scale of new physics. We employ standard unitarization methods based on dispersion relations to extend the perturbative amplitudes to higher energy, and study possible new resonances. This includes a curious one that can be generated by the hh-WW channel coupling alone, even if the perturbative elastic interaction vanishes. 5 Attractive Fermi gases at infinite coupling: a scale invariant and nearly perfect fluid Prof. ZWERGER, Wilhelm 1 1 TUM Corresponding Author: [email protected] Ultracold Fermi gases near a Feshbach resonance allow one to realize a gaseous state with an effectively infinite coupling strength of a zero range, two-body interaction. The resulting unitary Fermi gas defines a scale invariant, nonrelativistic many-body problem. It exhibits universal features both in equilibirium and in dynamic properties. In particular, it is an almost perfect fluid, with a quantum limited spin diffusion constant of order $\hbar/m$ and a viscosity to entropy density ratio near the fundamental bound $\hbar/(4\pi k_B)$. 2 EUBET 2014: Applications of effective field theories to particle physics, condensed matter and quantum optics / Book of abstracts 6 Gauge physics and the Higgs mechanism in Majorana Chains Dr. COBANERA, Emilio 1 1 Institute for Theoretical Physics, Utrecht University Corresponding Author: [email protected] We investigate the effect of quantum phase slips on a helical quantum wire coupled to a superconductor by proximity. The effective low-energy description of the wire is that of a Majorana chain minimally coupled to a dynamical Z2 gauge field. Hence the wire emulates a matter-coupled gauge theory, with fermion parity playing the role of the gauged global symmetry. Quantum phase slips lift the ground state degeneracy associated with unpaired Majorana edge modes at the ends of the chain, a change that can be understood as a transition between the confined and the Higgs-mechanism regimes of the gauge theory. We identify the quantization of thermal conductance at the transition as a robust experimental feature separating the two regimes. We explain this result by establishing a relation between thermal conductance and the Fredenhagen-Marcu string order-parameter for confinement in gauge theories. 7 Bypassing Elitzur's theorem: Non-Abelian dualities and order parameters of non-Abelian topological matter Dr. COBANERA, Emilio 1 1 Institute for Theoretical Physics, Utrecht University Corresponding Author: [email protected] We exploit a new theory of duality transformations to obtain non-Abelian dualities for models of non-Abelian topological quantum matter. The dual models display local symmetries but also admit local order parameters. In this way, non-Abelian dualities allow us to bypass Elitzur's theorem.

LAINE, Mikko 1 1 University of Bern Corresponding Author: [email protected] LHC and other future experiments might either confirm the structure of the Standard Model Higgs sector or unravel something else; in either case, the findings may have cosmological significance. In this talk the current understanding concerning the thermodynamics of the Higgs sector is reviewed, both for the Standard Model and for selected extensions thereof. Subsequently open challenges for numerical and analytic work are outlined. 10 Finite temperature properties in graphene Mr. FRITZ, Lars 1 1 Institute for Theoretical Physics, Universiteit Utrecht Corresponding Author: [email protected] Within this short presentation I will discuss some of the finite temperature (transport) properties of graphene and will most importantly mention the close relationship between graphene and quantum critical matter. 11 Chiral transport equation from the quantum Dirac Hamiltonian and the on-shell effective field theory Author: Dr. MANUEL, Cristina 1 Co-Author: Dr. TORRES-RINCON, Jua 2 1 CSIC-IEEC 2 Subatech, Nantes Corresponding Author: [email protected] We derive the relativistic chiral transport equation for massless fermions and antifermions by performing a semiclassical Foldy-Wouthuysen diagonalization of the quantum Dirac Hamiltonian and then taking the massless limit. The Berry connection naturally emerges in the diagonalization process to modify the classical equations of motion of a fermion in an electromagnetic field. We provide support to our result by an alternative computation using an effective field theory for fermions and antifermions: the on-shell effective field theory. In this formalism, the off-shell fermionic modes are integrated out to generate an effective Lagrangian for the quasi-on-shell fermions/antifermions. From the transport equation, we explicitly show how the axial and gauge anomalies are not modified at finite temperature and density . We also check that this transport approach allows to describe the anomalous gauge polarization tensor that appears in the Hard Thermal (and/or Dense) effective field theory. We also construct an energy density associated to the gauge collective modes of the chiral relativistic plasma, valid in the case of small couplings or weak fields, which can be the basis for the study of their dynamical evolution. 4 EUBET 2014: Applications of effective field theories to particle physics, condensed matter and quantum optics / Book of abstracts 12 Heavy particles in a thermal medium and effective field theories Prof. BRAMBILLA, Nora 1; Dr. VAIRO, Antonio 2; Dr. ESCOBEDO, Miguel 2; Mr. BIONDINI, Simone 2 1 Techniche Universitaet Muenchen 2 Technische Universitaet Muenchen Corresponding Author: [email protected] Effective field theories are a powerful tool to describe systematically multi-scale systems. When considering particles and their interactions in a thermal medium, at least one thermodynamical scale appears in the field theoretical treatment: the temperature. Recently effective field theories have been exploited to address the propagation and the dynamics of heavy particles in medium. In particular we discuss the example of heavy quarkonia in a weakly coupled quark gluon plasma and non-relativistic neutrinos in a thermal bath of standard model particles. 13 Sommerfeld enhancements in the pair annihilation of neutralinos and charginos: a non-relativistic EFT approach Dr. RUIZ-FEMENIA, Pedro 1 1 Instituto de Física Corpúscular Corresponding Author: [email protected] I will present an EFT formalism, the non-relativistic MSSM, designed to calculate the radiative corrections that enhance the pair-annihilation rates of neutralinos and charginos whose relative motion is characterized by a nonrelativistic velocity. The construction of the NRMSSM builds upon the non-relativistic EFT used for heavy quarkonia, extending the scope of applicability of the latter to a situation where there is more than one heavy particle species, and where massive mediators exchanged among the heavy particles generate additional long-range interactions. The framework allows to consider general MSSM scenarios where the LSP is an arbitrary admixture of the electroweak gauginos and to account for the co-annihilations with all the neutralino and charginos which are nearly mass degenerate with the LSP. 14 Quantum-impurity approach to correlated condensed matter exemplified for layered cobaltates Dr. LECHERMANN, Frank 1 1 University of Hamburg Corresponding Author: [email protected] By means of mapping the correlated electron problem on a lattice to the one of a quantum impurity within a self-consistent bath, the numerical solution of model as well as realistic interacting many-body challenges in solid-state physics becomes feasible. Modern quantum Monte Carlo techniques are ideally suited to handle the resulting dynamical-mean field theory (DMFT) and its extensions to treat explicit k-dependent electronic self energies. I will briefly review the basic theoretical aspects and show applications to the sodium cobaltate NaxCoO2 system which exhibits intricate competing orders with doping x. 5 EUBET 2014: Applications of effective field theories to particle physics, condensed matter and quantum optics / Book of abstracts 15 Born-Oppenheimer approximation for quarkonium hybrids Author: TARRUS CASTELLA, Jaume 1 Co-Authors: Mr. BERWEIN, Matthias 2; Prof. BRAMBILLA, Nora 3; Dr. VAIRO, Antonio 1 1 TUM 2 Technische Universität München 3 Physik Department, TU Munich Corresponding Author: [email protected] During the past years experimental observations have revealed the existence of a large number of states above open flavor thresholds that can not be identified as standard heavy quarkonium states. In this talk we discuss the possibility that some of these states are heavy quarkonium hybrids. Heavy quarkonium hybrids are states formed by a heavy quark-antiquark pair in a color octet configuration bounded together by excited gluons. Heavy quarkonium hybrids can be treated with an analog of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation for molecules. In a first step the energy levels of the gluonic degrees of freedom are obtained with the heavy quarks considered static. The gluonic static energies are non-perturbative and have been computed on the lattice. In the short distance range the static energies can be described using potential non-relativisitc QCD. In a second step the hybrid energy levels are obtained by solving the Schrödinger equation for the heavy quarks with the gluonic potentials defined by the static energies.

Some of the coefficients coincide with those in familiar non-relativistic systems (viscosities, conductivities, etc.) whereas others are more germane to high-energy physics (such as charm diffusion or jet quenching) though all have analogous phenomena in other fields of physics. The theoretical computations in the hadron gas phase are now well anchored in Effective Theories, whereas those in the quark-gluon plasma are more disperse with several methods being applied. 52 Generation of uniform synthetic magnetic fields by split driving of an optical lattice SOLS, Fernando 1 1 Universidad Complutense de Madrid Corresponding Author: [email protected] Ultracold atoms held in optical lattice potentials provide an almost ideal arena for the study of coherent quantum phenomena. We first explore the generation of synthetic gauges by controlling the switching conditions of the driving force. For two-dimensional optical lattices, we propose a powerful and flexible scheme which generates synthetic magnetic fields that couple only to the atom center-of-mass. We briefly outline some possible extensions of the present work. 11 EUBET 2014: Applications of effective field theories to particle physics, condensed matter and quantum optics / Book of abstracts WG2 / 53 Generation of uniform synthetic magnetic fields by split driving of an optical lattice Corresponding Author: [email protected] 12
