Kavli Affiliate: Juan I. Collar | First 5 Authors: J. I. Collar, , , , | Summary: Savage et al. have recently put forward the claim that results from the XENON10 experiment are incompatible with the totality of both DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT experimental regions. In this brief note the source of this erroneous conclusion is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kobus Kuipers | First 5 Authors: Ewold Verhagen, René de Waele, L., Kuipers, Albert Polman | Summary: We identify a route towards achieving a negative index of refraction at optical frequencies based on coupling between plasmonic waveguides that support backwards waves. We show how modal symmetry can be exploited in metal-dielectric waveguide pairs […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Cameron | First 5 Authors: Robert A. Cameron, , , , | Summary: We present the prospects for a future joint gamma-ray and radio survey of southern hemisphere sources using the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the upcoming Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope. ASKAP is a next […]
Kavli Affiliate: Craig J. Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig J. Hogan, , , , | Summary: A theory of position of massive bodies is proposed that results in an observable quantum behavior of geometry at the Planck scale, $t_P$. Departures from classical world lines in flat spacetime are described by Planckian noncommuting operators for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Richard Kessler, Alex Conley, Saurabh Jha, Stephen Kuhlmann, | Summary: We have publicly released a blinded mix of simulated SNe, with types (Ia, Ib, Ic, II) selected in proportion to their expected rate. The simulation is realized in the griz filters of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) […]
