Resonant Interaction of Modulation-correlated Quantum Electron Wavepackets with Bound Electron States

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Amnon Yariv | First 5 Authors: Avraham Gover, Bin Zhang, Du Ran, Reuven Ianconescu, Aharon Friedman | Summary: Free-Electron Bound-Electron Resonant Interaction (FEBERI) is the resonant inelastic interaction of periodically density-bunched free electrons with a quantum two level system. We present a comprehensive relativistic quantum mechanical theory for this interaction in a model […]

The Dust-to-Gas Ratio and the Role of Radiation Pressure in Luminous, Obscured Quasars

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Hyunsung D. Jun, Roberto J. Assef, Christopher M. Carroll, Ryan C. Hickox, Yonghwi Kim | Summary: The absence of high Eddington ratio, obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in local ($zlesssim0.1$) samples of moderate luminosity AGN has generally been explained to result from radiation pressure on the dusty […]

Topology optimized multi-functional mechanically reconfigurable meta-optics studied at microwave frequencies

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Conner Ballew, Gregory Roberts, Philip Camayd-Muñoz, Maximilien F Debbas, Andrei Faraon | Summary: Metasurfaces advanced the field of optics by reducing the thickness of optical components and merging multiple functionalities into a single layer device. However, this generally comes with a reduction in performance, especially for multifunctional […]

Fast computation of angular power spectra and covariances of high-resolution cosmic microwave background maps using the Toeplitz approximation

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Thibaut Louis, Sigurd Naess, Xavier Garrido, Anthony Challinor, | Summary: We present a simple approximation that can speed up the computation of the mode-coupling matrices, which are usually the bottleneck for computing unbiased angular power spectra, as well as their associated covariance matrices, of the cosmic microwave […]

Limitations of CMB B-mode template delensing

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Antón Baleato Lizancos, Anthony Challinor, Julien Carron, , | Summary: Efforts to detect a primordial $B$-mode of CMB polarization generated by inflationary gravitational waves ought to mitigate the large variance associated with the $B$-modes produced by gravitational lensing, a process known as delensing. A popular approach to […]

Diffusing wave spectroscopy: a unified treatment on temporal sampling and speckle ensemble methods

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Changhuei Yang | First 5 Authors: Jian Xu, Ali K. Jahromi, Changhuei Yang, , | Summary: Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) is a well-known set of methods to measure the temporal dynamics of dynamic samples. In DWS, dynamic samples scatter the incident coherent light, and the information of the temporal dynamics is encoded in […]
