Kavli Affiliate: Tom Chang | First 5 Authors: Tom Chang, Cheng-chin Wu, , , | Summary: We describe a new method that is both physically explicable and quantitatively accurate in describing the multifractal characteristics of intermittent events based on groupings of rank-ordered fluctuations. The generic nature of such rank-ordered spectrum leads it to a natural […]
Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | First 5 Authors: Martin Depken, Helmut Schiessel, , , | Summary: Apart from being the gateway for all access to the eukaryotic genome, chromatin has in recent years been identified as carrying an epigenetic code regulating transcriptional activity. The detailed knowledge of this code contrasts the ignorance of the fiber […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paolo Privitera | First 5 Authors: M. Ave, , , , | Summary: The fluorescence detection of ultra high energy cosmic rays requires a detailed knowledge of the fluorescence light emission from nitrogen molecules over a wide range of atmospheric parameters, corresponding to altitudes typical of the cosmic ray shower development in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomiyoshi Haruyama | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Tomaru, Masao Tokunari, Kazuaki Kuroda, Takashi Uchiyama, Akira Okutomi | Summary: A large heat load caused by thermal radiation through a metal shield pipe was observed in a cooling test of a cryostat for a prototype of a cryogenic interferometric gravitational wave detector. The heat load […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward W. Kolb, , , , | Summary: In these two lectures I will discuss some outstanding problems in the standard model of cosmology, concentrating on the physics that might be related to the title of this school, “Searching for the totally unexpected in the LHC era.” […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter K. Fritschel | First 5 Authors: Andri M. Gretarsson, Erika D’Ambrosio, Valery Frolov, Brian O’Reilly, Peter K. Fritschel | Summary: We analyze the electromagnetic fields in a Pound-Drever-Hall locked, marginally unstable, Fabry-Perot cavity as a function of small changes in the cavity length during resonance. More specifically, we compare the results of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Debanjan Chowdhury, , , , | Summary: For most of the important processes in DNA metabolism, a protein has to reach a specific binding site on the DNA. The specific binding site may consist of just a few base pairs while the DNA is usually several millions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor E. Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor E. Milanov, Hsian-Hua Tseng, , , | Summary: Let $CP^1_{k,m}$ be the orbifold structure on $CP^1$ obtained via uniformizing the neighborhoods of 0 and $infty$ respectively by $zmapsto z^k$ and $wmapsto w^m.$ The diagonal action of the torus on the projective line induces naturally an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: Savdeep Sethi, , , , | Summary: We show that a class of torsional compactifications of the heterotic string are dual to conventional Kahler heterotic string compactifications. This observation follows from the recently proposed analogue of the c-map for the heterotic string. | Search Query: arXiv Query: […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paolo Privitera | First 5 Authors: AIRFLY Collaboration, , , , | Summary: The fluorescence detection of ultra high energy (> 10^18 eV) cosmic rays requires a detailed knowledge of the fluorescence light emission from nitrogen molecules, which are excited by the cosmic ray shower particles along their path in the atmosphere. We […]
