Cosmological Constraint on Vector Mediator of Neutrino-Electron Interaction in light of XENON1T Excess

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Shin Kobayashi, Yuhei Nakayama, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: Recently, the XENON1T collaboration reported an excess in the electron recoil energy spectrum. One of the simplest new physics interpretation is a new neutrino-electron interaction mediated by a light vector particle. However, for the parameter region favored […]

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Constraining Baryonic Physics in the Universe

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Hung-Jin Huang, Tim Eifler, Rachel Mandelbaum, Gary M. Bernstein, Anqi Chen | Summary: Measurements of large-scale structure are interpreted using theoretical predictions for the matter distribution, including potential impacts of baryonic physics. We constrain the feedback strength of baryons jointly with cosmology using weak lensing and galaxy […]

Designing angle-independent structural colors using Monte Carlo simulations of multiple scattering

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Joanna Aizenberg | First 5 Authors: Victoria Hwang, Anna B. Stephenson, Solomon Barkley, Soeren Brandt, Ming Xiao | Summary: Disordered nanostructures with correlations on the scale of visible wavelengths can show angle-independent structural colors. These materials could replace dyes in some applications because the color is tunable and resists photobleaching. However, designing nanostructures […]

Amplify-and-Forward Relaying for Hierarchical Over-the-Air Computation

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Jie Xu, Vincent K. N. Lau, Shuguang Cui, | Summary: This paper studies a hierarchical over-the-air computation (AirComp) network over a large area, in which multiple relays are exploited to facilitate data aggregation from massive WDs. We present a two-phase amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying protocol. In […]

The thermal-radiative wind in the neutron star low mass X-ray binary GX 13+1

Posted by Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Ryota Tomaru, Chris Done, Ken Ohsuga, Hirokazu Odaka, Tadayuki Takahashi | Summary: We fit the observed high ionisation X-ray absorption lines in the neutron star binary GX13+1 with a full simulation of a thermal-radiative wind. This uses a radiation hydrodynamic code coupled to Monte Carlo radiation transfer […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Roxana Rosca-Mead, Christopher J. Moore, Ulrich Sperhake, Michalis Agathos, Davide Gerosa | Summary: We compute families of spherically symmetric neutron-star models in two-derivative scalar-tensor theories of gravity with a massive scalar field. The numerical approach we present allows us to compute the resulting spacetimes out to infinite […]

Covariance of the redshift-space matter power spectrum after reconstruction

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Chiaki Hikage | First 5 Authors: Chiaki Hikage, Ryuichi Takahashi, Kazuya Koyama, , | Summary: We explore the covariance of redshift-space matter power spectra after a standard density-field reconstruction. We derive perturbative formula of the covariance at the tree-level order and find that the amplitude of the off-diagonal components from the trispectrum decreases […]
