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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | Summary:This is the third companion paper of arXiv:1601.03586. When a gauge theory has a flavor symmetry group, we construct a partial resolution of the Coulomb branch as a variant of the definition. We identify the partial resolution with a partial resolution of a generalized slice in the affine Grassmannian, Hilbert […]
Kavli Affiliate: Blas Cabrera | Summary:The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory studied energy loss associated with Frenkel defect formation in germanium crystals at mK temperatures using in situ $^210$Pb sources. We examine the spectrum of $^206$Pb nuclear recoils near its expected 103 keV endpoint energy and determine an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ya Blanter | Summary:Sideband asymmetry in cavity optomechanics has been explained by particle creation and annihilation processes, which bestow an amplitude proportional to ‘n+1’ and ‘n’ excitations to each of the respective sidebands. We discuss the issues with this as well as other interpretations, such as quantum backaction and noise interference, and show […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herre Sjoerd Jan Van Der Zant| First 5 Authors: Santiago Jose Cartamil-Bueno, Santiago Jose Cartamil-Bueno, , , | Summary:We use a scalable optical technique to characterize more than 21000 circular nanomechanical devices made out of suspended single- and double-layer graphene on cavities with different diameters ($D$) and depths ($g$). To maximize the contrast […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | Summary:It is predicted that the spectrum of radio emission from the whole sky should show a dip arising from the action of the light from the first stars on the hydrogen atoms in the surrounding gas, which causes the 21-cm line to appear in absorption against the cosmic microwave background.
