Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Akerib | First 5 Authors: Jim Alexander, Marco Battaglieri, Bertrand Echenard, Rouven Essig, Matthew Graham | Summary: This report, based on the Dark Sectors workshop at SLAC in April 2016, summarizes the scientific importance of searches for dark sector dark matter and forces at masses beneath the weak-scale, the status of this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Elise Jennings | First 5 Authors: Elise Jennings, Maeve Madigan, , , | Summary: Given the complexity of modern cosmological parameter inference where we are faced with non-Gaussian data and noise, correlated systematics and multi-probe correlated data sets, the Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) method is a promising alternative to traditional Markov Chain Monte […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masaki Yamashita | First 5 Authors: Jing Liu, Masaki Yamashita, Arun Kumar Soma, , | Summary: A light yield of 20.4 $pm$ 0.8 photoelectrons/keV was achieved with an undoped CsI crystal coupled directly to a photomultiplier tube at 77 Kelvin. This is by far the largest yield in the world achieved with CsI […]
Kavli Affiliate: John W. Belcher | First 5 Authors: Hui Li, Chi Wang, Jiansen He, Lingqian Zhang, John D. Richardson | Summary: Nonlinear cascade of low-frequency Alfvenic fluctuations (AFs) is regarded as one candidate of the energy sources to heat plasma during the non-adiabatic expansion of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs). However, AFs inside ICMEs […]
Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh | First 5 Authors: Zhenjie Feng, Xunqing Yin, Yiming Cao, Xianglian Peng, Tian Gao | Summary: We demonstrate that Mn-doping in the layered sulfides Bi_4O_4S_3 leads to stable Bi_4-x Mn_x O_4 S_3 compounds that exhibit both long-range ferromagnetism and enhanced superconductivity for 0.075 < = x < = 0.15, with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Kurt Hinterbichler, Austin Joyce, , , | Summary: In four dimensions, partially massless fields of all spins and depths possess a duality invariance akin to electric-magnetic duality. We construct metric-like gauge invariant curvature tensors for partially massless fields of all integer spins and depths, and show how […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Brian Swingle, Debanjan Chowdhury, , , | Summary: Recent work has studied the growth of commutators as a probe of chaos and information scrambling in quantum many-body systems. In this work we study the effect of static disorder on the growth of commutators in a variety of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoyuki Tamura | First 5 Authors: Stephen A. Smee, James E. Gunn, Mirek Golebiowski, Stephen C. Hope, Fabrice Madec | Summary: We describe the design and performance of the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) visible camera cryostats. SuMIRe PFS is a massively multi-plexed ground-based spectrograph consisting of four identical spectrograph modules, each receiving […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey M. McMahon, , , , | Summary: Density-functional theory is a formally exact description of a many-body quantum system in terms of its density; in practice, however, approximations to the universal density functional are required. In this work, a model based on deep learning is developed […]
