Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Ralph| First 5 Authors: William Ralph, William Ralph, , , | Summary:Occam’s Razor tells us to pick the simplest model that fits our observations. In order to make sense of his process mathematically, we interpret it in the context of posets of functions. Our approach leads to some unusual new combinatorial problems […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiroaki Aihara | Summary:We present properties of moderately massive clusters of galaxies detected by the newly developed Hyper Suprime-Cam on the Subaru telescope using weak gravitational lensing. Eight peaks exceeding a S/N ratio of 4.5 are identified on the convergence S/N map of a 2.3 square degree field observed during the early commissioning […]
Kavli Affiliate: Blas Cabrera | Summary:CDMS II data from the 5-tower runs at the Soudan Underground Laboratory were reprocessed with an improved charge-pulse fitting algorithm. Two new analysis techniques to reject surface-event backgrounds were applied to the 612 kg days germanium-detector WIMP-search exposure. An extended analysis was also completed by decreasing the 10 keV analysis […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoyuki Tamura | Summary:We present basic properties of $sim$3,300 emission line galaxies detected by the FastSound survey, which are mostly H$α$ emitters at $z sim$ 1.2-1.5 in the total area of about 20 deg$^2$, with the H$α$ flux sensitivity limit of $sim 1.6 times 10^-16 rm erg cm^-2 s^-1$ at 4.5 sigma. This […]
