Newcastle Particle Cosmology Programme

纽卡斯尔粒子宇宙学的重点是探索宇宙学和基础粒子物理之间的相互作用。在宇宙的早期，物质经历了一系列的相变。其中一些可能涉及气泡的凝结，很像大气中水滴的凝结。基本粒子模型中气泡成核背后的基本理论需要更新，以跟上新的理论发展和想法，例如气泡如何留下观测特征，甚至形成微观黑洞。在最近的宇宙中，我们仍然缺乏关于哪些粒子构成暗质量的知识。一种可能是暗物质以粒子波的形式存在。我们可以用数值模拟来模拟波状物质结构的形成，但为了覆盖更大范围的长度尺度，我们需要一种新的方法，我们使用的方法借用了粒子物理的一些方法。有了这一点，我们希望能够预测出可以与天文观测相比较的结构，以确定暗物质的性质。

The focus of Newcastle particle cosmology is to explore the interaction between cosmology and fundamental particle physics. In the very early universe, the matter underwent a series of phase transitions. Some of these may have involved the condensation of bubbles, rather like the condensation of water droplets in the atmosphere. The basic theory behind bubble nucleation in fundamental particle models is in major need of updating to keep up with new theoretical developments and ideas, such as how bubble may leave behind observational signatures or even form microscopic black holes.In the more recent universe we are still lacking the knowledge of what particles make up most of the dark mass. One possibly is that the dark matter is in the form of a particle wave. We can simulate the formation of structure from wavelike matter using numerical simulations, but to cover the wide range of length scales we need a new approach, and the one we use uses some of the methods borrowed from particle physics. With this, we hope to predict the structures that can be compared with astronomical observations to pin down the nature of dark matter.
