National holiday.

This is an event for OISTers’ to know what activities are happening at OIST, as well as for (official or informal) groups to recruit new members! Especially for new students, it will be a good chance to know activities you could do with people at OIST. Everyone at OIST, including interns, families, postdocs, admins, faculties, are all welcome!

Please spread this info to whom may want to recruit members and look for new activities!

For groups/clubs interested in joining: If you or your group wants to join this Activities Fair, please email (yuka.suzuki@oist.jp) or message Yuka Suzuki in advance with your group name. Also, please ask Yuka if you want to borrow a screen or do some performance. Performance may be possible in the meeting room 1. Each group will have a spot with a table and their group/activity name at the conference centre. Groups are welcome to bring items to show the taste of their activities or anything to attract people (video, instruments, snacks etc)!

Speaker: Dr. Yutaro Shoji from Nagoya University Abstract: The electroweak vacuum is not absolutely stable in the standard model and various models beyond the standard model. This is due to an appearance of another deeper vacuum, into which the electroweak vacuum can decay. The decay proceeds through quantum tunneling and the rate is expressed with an exponential suppression factor and a pre-factor. The suppression factor has been calculated in many papers, but a naive dimensional analysis has been usually adopted for the pre-factor.

We have pointed out that such an evaluation can suffer from large quantum corrections and it is important to calculate the pre-factor as well.

To calculate the pre-factor, we had problems in a gauge sector; its gauge invariance is not explicitly shown, and there appear zero modes, which we could not deal with.

We have solved these problems and made it possible to determine vacuum decay rates precisely.

As applications, we analyzed the decay rates in the standard model and its fermionic extensions. We also provide a public code, which can be used for models that exhibit classical scale invariance at a high energy scale.

*Time & Venue are changed to 10:00-11:00 (Oct 2), C700-Lab3.
