Generalised velocity-dependent one-scale model for current-carrying strings

Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: C. J. A. P. Martins, Patrick Peter, I. Yu. Rybak, E. P. S. Shellard, | Summary: We develop an analytic model to quantitatively describe the evolution of superconducting cosmic string networks. Specifically, we extend the velocity-dependent one-scale (VOS) model to incorporate arbitrary currents and charges […]

Three-flavor collective neutrino conversions with multi-azimuthal-angle instability in an electron-capture supernova model

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Masamichi Zaizen, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Takashi Yoshida | Summary: We investigate the multi-azimuthal angle (MAA) effect on collective neutrino oscillation by considering the three-dimensional neutrino momentum distribution in a realistic electron-capture supernova model with an $8.8 M_{odot}$ progenitor. We find that the MAA effect […]

Improving sensitivity to low-mass dark matter in LUX using a novel electrode background mitigation technique

Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | First 5 Authors: LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai | Summary: This paper presents a novel technique for mitigating electrode backgrounds that limit the sensitivity of searches for low-mass dark matter (DM) using xenon time projection chambers. In the LUX detector, signatures of […]
