Design and production of the high voltage electrode grids and electron extraction region for the LZ dual-phase xenon time projection chamber

Posted by klaurent June 11, 2021Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | First 5 Authors: R. Linehan, R. L. Mannino, A. Fan, C. M. Ignarra, S. Luitz | Summary: The dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) is a powerful tool for direct-detection experiments searching for WIMP dark matter, other dark matter models, and neutrinoless double-beta decay. Successful operation of such a […]

Cosmology with Love: Measuring the Hubble constant using neutron star universal relations

Posted by klaurent June 11, 2021Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Deep Chatterjee, Abhishek Hegade K. R., Gilbert Holder, Daniel E. Holz, Scott Perkins | Summary: Gravitational-wave cosmology began in 2017 with the observation of the gravitational waves emitted in the merger of two neutron stars, and the coincident observation of the electromagnetic emission that followed. Although […]

The origin of chirality induced spin selectivity in photo-induced electron transfer

Posted by klaurent June 11, 2021Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Thomas P. Fay, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: Here we propose a mechanism by which spin polarization can be generated dynamically in chiral molecular systems undergoing photo-induced electron transfer. The proposed mechanism explains how spin polarization emerges in systems where charge transport is dominated […]

Measuring the spins of heavy binary black holes

Posted by klaurent June 11, 2021MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Sylvia Biscoveanu, Maximiliano Isi, Vijay Varma, Salvatore Vitale, | Summary: An accurate and precise measurement of the spins of individual merging black holes is required to understand their origin. While previous studies have indicated that most of the spin information comes from the inspiral part of the […]
