Exploring a PMT+SiPM Hybrid Optical Module for Next Generation Neutrino Telescopes

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Fan Hu, Zhuo Li, Donglian Xu, , | Summary: Cosmic neutrinos are unique probes of the high energy universe. IceCube has discovered a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux since 2013, but their origin remains elusive. The potential sources could include, for example, active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts and […]

Direct evaluation of rare events in active matter from variational path sampling

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Avishek Das, Benjamin Kuznets-Speck, David T. Limmer, , | Summary: Active matter represents a broad class of systems that evolve far from equilibrium due to the local injection of energy. Like their passive analogues, transformations between distinct metastable states in active matter proceed through rare fluctuations, […]

Millicharged dark matter detection with ion traps

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Dmitry Budker, Peter W. Graham, Harikrishnan Ramani, Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler, Christian Smorra | Summary: We propose the use of trapped ions for detection of millicharged dark matter. Millicharged particles will scatter off the ions, giving a signal either in individual events or in the overall heating rate […]

Optical phased array neural probes for beam-steering in brain tissue

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Roukes | Summary:Implantable silicon neural probes with integrated nanophotonic waveguides can deliver patterned dynamic illumination into brain tissue at depth. Here, we introduce neural probes with integrated optical phased arrays and demonstrate optical beam steering in vitro. Beam formation in brain tissue was simulated and characterized. The probes were used for optogenetic […]

Tuning color centers at a twisted interface

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crommie | First 5 Authors: Cong Su, Fang Zhang, Salman Kahn, Brian Shevitski, Jingwei Jiang | Summary: Color center is a promising platform for quantum technologies, but their application is hindered by the typically random defect distribution and complex mesoscopic environment. Employing cathodoluminescence, we demonstrate that an ultraviolet-emitting single photon emitter can […]
