Analogue Aharonov-Bohm effect in neo-Newtonian theory

Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Volume 92, No. 12, Article 125010, Year 2015

We address the issues of the scattering of massless planar scalar waves by an acoustic black hole in neo-Newtonian hydrodynamics. We then compute the differential cross section through the use of the partial wave approach in the neo-Newtonian theory which is a modification of the usual Newtonian theory that correctly incorporates the effects of pressure. We mainly show that the scattering of planar waves leads to a modified analogue Aharonov-Bohm effect due to a nontrivial response of the parameters defining the equation of state.
