Kavli Affiliate: Ethan Karpel | Summary:Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT-1) is the first CMB degree-scale polarimeter to be deployed on the Tibetan plateau at 5,250m above sea level. AliCPT-1 is a 90/150 GHz 72 cm aperture, two-lens refracting telescope cooled down to 4 K. Alumina lenses, 800mm in diameter, image the CMB in a 33.4° […]

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel R. Wilkins | Summary:The scaling relations between the black hole (BH) mass and soft lag properties for both active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and BH X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) suggest the same underlying physical mechanism at work in accreting BH systems spanning a broad range of mass. However, the low-mass end of AGNs has […]

Alston, Alex Markowitz, Barbara De Marco | Summary: The scaling relations between the black hole (BH) mass and soft lag properties for both active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and BH X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) suggest the same underlying physical mechanism at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Adam B. Mantz | First 5 Authors: Jenny T. Wan, Adam B. Mantz, Jack Sayers, Steven W. Allen, R. Glenn Morris | Summary: We use a sample of 14 massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters to constrain the Hubble Constant, $H_0$, by combining X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect signals measured with Chandra, Planck and […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | Summary:Two-phase xenon detectors, such as that at the core of the forthcoming LZ dark matter experiment, use photomultiplier tubes to sense the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) scintillation signals resulting from particle interactions in their liquid xenon target. This paper describes a simulation study exploring two techniques to lower […]

Ames | Summary: Two-phase xenon detectors, such as that at the core of the forthcoming LZ dark matter experiment, use photomultiplier tubes to sense the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) scintillation signals […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Ethan O. Nadler, Simon Birrer, Daniel Gilman, Risa H. Wechsler, Xiaolong Du | Summary: Joint analyses of small-scale cosmological structure probes are relatively unexplored and promise to advance measurements of microphysical dark matter properties using heterogeneous data. Here, we present a multidimensional analysis of dark matter […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | Summary:During World War II the German army used tanks to devastating advantage. The Allies needed accurate estimates of their tank production and deployment. They used two approaches to find these values: spies, and statistics. This note describes the statistical approach. Assuming the tanks are labeled consecutively starting at 1, if […]
