[HTML][HTML] Varying constants, gravitation and cosmology

JP Uzan - Living reviews in relativity, 2011 - Springer
Fundamental constants are a cornerstone of our physical laws. Any constant varying in
space and/or time would reflect the existence of an almost massless field that couples to …

Further evidence for a variable fine-structure constant from Keck/HIRES QSO absorption spectra

We have previously presented evidence for a varying fine-structure constant, α, in two
independent samples of Keck/HIRES quasi-stellar object (QSO) absorption spectra. Here we …

Coupled variations of fundamental couplings and primordial nucleosynthesis

A Coc, NJ Nunes, KA Olive, JP Uzan, E Vangioni - Physical Review D …, 2007 - APS
The effect of variations of the fundamental nuclear parameters on big-bang nucleosynthesis
are modeled and discussed in detail taking into account the interrelations between the …

Dependence of nuclear magnetic moments on quark masses and limits on temporal variation of fundamental constants from atomic clock experiments

VV Flambaum, AF Tedesco - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2006 - APS
We calculate the dependence of the nuclear magnetic moments on the quark masses,
including the spin-spin interaction effects, and obtain limits on the variation of the fine …

Ultracold molecules: new probes on the variation of fundamental constants

C Chin, VV Flambaum, MG Kozlov - New Journal of Physics, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Ultracold molecules offer brand new opportunities to probe the variation of fundamental
constants with unprecedented sensitivity. This paper summarizes theoretical background …

We present evidence for variations in the fine-structure constant from Keck/HIRES spectra of
143 quasar absorption systems over the redshift range 0.2< z abs< 4.2. This includes 15 …

Cosmological variation of the deuteron binding energy, strong interaction, and quark masses from big bang nucleosynthesis

VF Dmitriev, VV Flambaum, JK Webb - Physical Review D, 2004 - APS
We use big bang nucleosynthesis calculations and light element abundance data to
constrain the relative variation of the deuteron binding energy since the Universe was a few …

Dependence of nuclear binding on hadronic mass variation

VV Flambaum, RB Wiringa - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2007 - APS
We examine how the binding of light (A⩽ 8) nuclei depends on possible variations of
hadronic masses, including meson, nucleon, and nucleon-resonance masses. Small …
