Generation and confinement of uniform magnetic fields with distributions of surface currents
This paper presents the methodology for generation and confinement of a uniform magnetic field of intensity H/sub 0/ in an arbitrary assigned polyhedral cavity C enclosed by planar surfaces s/sub h/. The design methodology presented in this paper can generate novel self-shielding polyhedral structures of surface currents. Unlike in conventional solenoid magnet, the field generated by these structures is perpendicular to the main axis of the cavity.
Equivalent structures of permanent magnets and electric currents designed to generate uniform fields
Generation and confinement of a magnetic field by means of permanent magnets as well as time‐independent electric currents are analyzed, and the conditions of existence of uniform field solutions are established in the general case of structures that enclose a region of arbitrary geometry. Basic properties of distributions of the electric currents are compared with the properties of yokeless structures of permanent magnets intended to generate the same uniform field within the same region.
The unfolded universe of elementary particles. A geometric explanation of the standard model structure
We propose a geometric explanation of the standard model of Glashow, Weinberg and Salam for the known elementary particles. Our model is a generic Quantum Field Theory in dimension four, obtained by developing along a Lorentz sub-manifold the lagrangian of Einstein and Dirac in dimension twelve. The main mechanism which gives birth to the standard model is a certain gauge fixing of triality, which permits to identify the multiplicity of fermions, as seen from the four dimensional world, with the eight unseen dimensions of the generating universe. In this way we get the known tables of particles, explaining the series of fermions and the gauge bosons. We suggest that the Higgs field dynamics could appear through a bosonization of the right handed neutrino and correspond to a displacement in the unseen dimensions. We also propose hypotheses for dark matter, and perhaps dark energy. Then we suggest predictions to go beyond the standard model.
