Dynamics of an inverted cantilever plate at moderate angle of attack

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Cecilia Huertas-Cerdeira, Andres Goza, John E. Sader, Tim Colonius, Morteza Gharib | Summary: The dynamics of a cantilever plate clamped at its trailing edge and placed at a moderate angle ($alpha leq 30^{circ}$) to a uniform flow are investigated experimentally and numerically, and a large experimental data […]

The Noise of Gravitons

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Maulik Parikh, Frank Wilczek, George Zahariade, , | Summary: We show that when the gravitational field is treated quantum-mechanically, it induces fluctuations — noise — in the lengths of the arms of gravitational wave detectors. The characteristics of the noise depend on the quantum state of the […]

TESS Data for Asteroseismology: Timing verification

Kavli Affiliate: Edward H. Morgan | First 5 Authors: Carolina von Essen, Mikkel N. Lund, Rasmus Handberg, Marina S. Sosa, Julie Thiim Gadeberg | Summary: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is NASA’s latest space telescope dedicated to the discovery of transiting exoplanets around nearby stars. Besides the main goal of the mission, asteroseismology is […]

Muons in supernovae: implications for the axion-muon coupling

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Robert Bollig, William DeRocco, Peter W. Graham, Hans-Thomas Janka, | Summary: The high temperature and electron degeneracy attained during a supernova allow for the formation of a large muon abundance within the core of the resulting proto-neutron star. If new pseudoscalar degrees of freedom have large […]

Spectral and spatial isolation of single WSe$_2$ quantum emitters using hexagonal boron nitride wrinkles

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | First 5 Authors: RaphaĆ«l S. Daveau, Tom Vandekerckhove, Arunabh Mukherjee, Zefang Wang, Jie Shan | Summary: Monolayer WSe$_2$ hosts bright single-photon emitters. Because of its compliance, monolayer WSe$_2$ conforms to patterned substrates without breaking, thus creating the potential for large local strain, which is one activation mechanism of its […]

Nanoscale Strain Engineering of Giant Pseudo-Magnetic Fields, Valley Polarization and Topological Channels in Graphene

Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh | First 5 Authors: C. -C. Hsu, M. L. Teague, J. -Q. Wang, N. -C. Yeh, | Summary: The existence of nontrivial Berry phases associated with two inequivalent valleys in graphene provides interesting opportunities for investigating the valley-projected topological states. Examples of such studies include observation of anomalous quantum Hall […]

Rozansky-Witten geometry of Coulomb branches and logarithmic knot invariants

Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | First 5 Authors: Sergei Gukov, Po-Shen Hsin, Hiraku Nakajima, Sunghyuk Park, Du Pei | Summary: By studying Rozansky-Witten theory with non-compact target spaces we find new connections with knot invariants whose physical interpretation was not known. This opens up several new avenues, which include a new formulation of $q$-series invariants […]

Phase-Space Spectral Line De-confusion in Intensity Mapping

Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Yun-Ting Cheng, Tzu-Ching Chang, James J. Bock, , | Summary: Line intensity mapping (LIM) is a promising tool to efficiently probe the three-dimensional large-scale structure by mapping the aggregate emission of a spectral line from all sources that trace the matter density field. Spectral lines from […]

The Cosmological Bootstrap: Spinning Correlators from Symmetries and Factorization

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Carlos Duaso Pueyo, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee, Guilherme L. Pimentel | Summary: We extend the cosmological bootstrap to correlators involving massless particles with spin. In de Sitter space, these correlators are constrained both by symmetries and by locality. In particular, the de Sitter isometries become […]
