Machine-Learning Non-Conservative Dynamics for New-Physics Detection

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Bohan Wang, Qi Meng, Wei Chen, Max Tegmark | Summary: Energy conservation is a basic physics principle, the breakdown of which often implies new physics. This paper presents a method for data-driven "new physics" discovery. Specifically, given a trajectory governed by unknown forces, our Neural […]

Earth as a transducer for dark-photon dark-matter detection

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Derek F. Jackson Kimball, Saarik Kalia, | Summary: We propose the use of the Earth as a transducer for ultralight dark-matter detection. In particular we point out a novel signal of kinetically mixed dark-photon dark matter: a monochromatic oscillating magnetic […]

Testing the SZ-based tomographic approach to the thermal history of the universe with pressure-density cross-correlations: Insights from the Magneticum simulation

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Sam Young, Eiichiro Komatsu, Klaus Dolag, , | Summary: The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect contains information about the thermal history of the universe, observable in maps of the Compton $y$ parameter; however, it does not contain information about the redshift of the sources. Recent papers have utilized a […]
