PhyStat-$ν$ 2016 at the IPMU: Summary of Discussions

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Hartz | Summary:The presentations, discussions and findings from the inaugural `PhyStat-$ν$’ workshop held at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU) near Tokyo in 2016 are described. PhyStat-$ν$ was the first workshop to focus solely on statistical issues across the broad range of modern neutrino physics, bringing […]

DeepAffinity: Interpretable Deep Learning of Compound-Protein Affinity through Unified Recurrent and Convolutional Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Kyle Shen | First 5 Authors: Mostafa Karimi, Mostafa Karimi, , , | Summary: Motivation: Drug discovery demands rapid quantification of compound-protein interaction (CPI). However, there is a lack of methods that can predict compound-protein affinity from sequences alone with high applicability, accuracy, and interpretability. Results: We present a seamless integration of domain […]

Production Rate Measurement of Tritium and Other Cosmogenic Isotopes in Germanium with CDMSlite

Kavli Affiliate: Blas Cabrera | Summary:Future direct searches for low-mass dark matter particles with germanium detectors, such as SuperCDMS SNOLAB, are expected to be limited by backgrounds from radioactive isotopes activated by cosmogenic radiation inside the germanium. There are limited experimental data available to constrain production rates and a large spread of theoretical predictions. We […]

Domain formation mechanism of the Si(110)”16 x 2″ reconstruction

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | Summary:The main factor that determines which of the two domains form upon reconstruction of the Si(110)"16 x 2" surface has been investigated. LEED and STM images showed that the domain orientation was independent of the heating current direction used to induce the Si(110)"16 x 2" reconstruction. Reciprocal-space lattice models of […]

Spin-orbit effects at chiral surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | Summary:Two-dimensional hexagonal and oblique lattices were investigated theoretically with the aim of observing differences in the spin expectation values between chiral and achiral systems. The spinresolved band structures were derived from the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian that includes the lattice potential and the spin-orbit interaction. The spin […]
