W=0 Complex Structure Moduli Stabilization on CM-type K3 x K3 Orbifolds:—Arithmetic, Geometry and Particle Physics—

Kavli Affiliate: Taizan Watari | Summary:It is an important question in string compactification whether complex structure moduli stabilization inevitably ends up with a vacuum expectation value of the superpotential < W > of the order of the Planck scale cubed. Any thoughts on volume stabilization and inflation in string theory, as well as on phenomenology […]

In-flight performance of the BLAST-TNG telescope platform

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan P. Lourie | Summary:The Next Generation Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) was a unique instrument for characterizing the polarized submillimeter sky at high-angular resolution. BLAST-TNG flew from the Long Duration Balloon Facility in Antarctica in January 2020. Despite the short flight duration, the instrument worked very well and is providing significant […]
