Nonminimally-coupled warm Higgs inflation: Metric vs. Palatini Formulations

In this work, we study the non-minimally-coupled Higgs model in the context of warm inflation scenario on both metric and Palatini approaches. We particularly consider a dissipation parameter of the form $Γ=C_{T}T$ with $C_{T}$ being a coupling parameter and focus only on the strong regime of the interaction between inflaton and radiation fluid. We compute all relevant cosmological parameters and constrain the models using the observational Planck 2018 data. We discover that the $n_s$ and $r$ values are consistent with the observational bounds. Having used the observational data, we constrain a relation between $ξ$ and $λ$ for the non-minimally-coupled warm Higgs inflation in both metric and Palatini cases. To produce $n_s$ and $r$ in agreement with observation, we find that their values are two orders of magnitude higher than those of the usual (cold) non-minimally-coupled Higgs inflation.

Lab at Home of fluid draining with Tracker

The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has threaten the face-to-face teaching activity in both schools and universities. The transformation from face-to-face classes to online activities yielded inefficient outcomes from the activities. Particularly, a key issue was organizing laboratory activities without accessing the labs. In this paper, we propose how to overcome this problem by enabling the students to perform physics experiments of fluid draining at home. In other words, the use of equipment commonly available at home or that can be purchased at a low price is practically plausible. In the present work, we do an experimental investigation of liquid draining through a hole of a container. From an analyzing step, we introduce a freely-accessible video analysis software, Tracker, to obtain accurate results. Interestingly, we observe the effects of viscosity causing a delay of draining time of liquids. Our study shows that a ratio of open-space radius of the container to the hole radius, $\sqrtλ$, can be used to determine a draining time.

Unraveling the vertical motion of Dipterocarpus alatus seed using Tracker

We perform analytical and experimental investigation of the vertical motion of Dipterocarpus alatus seed, locally called Yang-na in Thailand. In this work, we assume the drag forces exerting on the Yang-na seeds depend only on the velocity. We derive equations of motion (EoMs) to physically parametrize the vertical motion of the seed and analytically solve to obtain the exact solutions. Interestingly, we observe that our predicted solutions are in agreement with the experimental data. More precisely, the entire trajectory of the falling seed of Yang-na can be described by our predicted solutions. We also determine terminal velocity of the seeds. Remarkably, this work reasonably proves that seed dispersal characteristics of Yang-na is inherently straight downward. Finally, we believe that our achievement will be valuable to the large community of STEM/STEAM education to promote an understanding in the topic integrating mathematics, physics, biology, art and technology. Our framework constitutes learning model to improve the ability of creative thinking, analytical thinking and problem solving skills on the concept of forces and motion applicable from high school to college levels.
