This is a test run of a rotating dumbbell, simulated with Perfectly Matched Layer boundaries. The top panels show contours of the Higgs field magnitude in the xz plane, with the same magnitude plotted as height in the right panel. The bottom panel is a histogram of the Higgs magnitude across the whole simulation box. The numerical relativity technique is described in [arXiv:2311.00026].
Further details on parameters and initial relativistic conditions will come with the public release of the simulation code on my GitHub page.
Stay tuned!
Same as the first video (Value 1), but with a larger value of angular momentum. Formation of a single sphaleron-like configuration can be seen as a bright spot in the upper left panel and a peak in the upper right panel.
Same as the first (Value 1) and second videos (Value 2), but with a larger value of angular momentum than both. Multiple stable peaks are observed here.
