Universal finite-size amplitude and anomalous entanglement entropy of $z=2$ quantum Lifshitz criticalities in topological chains

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, T. A. Sedrakyan, , , | Summary: We consider Lifshitz criticalities with dynamical exponent $z=2$ that emerge in a class of topological chains. There, such a criticality plays a fundamental role in describing transitions between symmetry-enriched conformal field theories (CFTs). We report that, at such […]

Measurements of the branching fractions for $B to K^{*}γ$ decays at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, R. Adak, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal | Summary: This paper reports a study of $B to K^{*}gamma$ decays using $62.8pm 0.6$ fb$^{-1}$ of data collected during 2019–2020 by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB $e^{+}e^{-}$ asymmetric-energy collider, corresponding to $(68.2 pm 0.8) […]

Mechanical strength and millimeter-wave transmittance spectrum of stacked sapphire plates bonded by sodium silicate solution

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Toda, Yuki Sakurai, Hirokazu Ishino, Tomotake Matsumura, Kunimoto Komatsu | Summary: The polarization modulator unit for the low-frequency telescope in LiteBIRD employs an achromatic half-wave plate (AHWP). It consists of five layers of a-cut sapphire plate, which are stacked based on a Pancharatnam recipe. In this […]
