Benchmarking the performance of DFT functionals for absorption and fluorescence spectra of EGFR inhibitor AG-1478 using TD-DFT

Posted by klaurent December 7, 2021Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Sallam Alagawani, Vladislav Vasilyev, Feng Wang, , | Summary: Optical spectra (UV-vis and fluorescence) are sensitive to the chemical environment and conformation of fluorophores and therefore, are ideal probes for their conformation and solvent responses. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as AG-1478 of epidermal growth factor receptor […]

Loopy Determinations of $V_{ub}$ and $V_{cb}$

Posted by December 7, 2021Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | First 5 Authors: Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Nathan Lewis, , , | Summary: We use loop induced processes like meson oscillations and rare b hadron decays to determine the absolute values of the CKM matrix elements $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$ and compare our results to the standard determinations based on inclusive and exclusive […]

Milli-Hertz Gravitational Wave Background Produced by Quasi-Periodic Eruptions

Posted by klaurent December 6, 2021Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Xian Chen, Yu Qiu, Shuo Li, F. K. Liu, | Summary: Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are important targets for future space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, such as the Laser Interferometer Sapce Antenna (LISA). Recent works suggest that EMRI may reside in a population of newly discovered X-ray transients called […]

Could TDE outflows produce the PeV neutrino events?

Posted by klaurent December 3, 2021Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Han-Ji Wu, Guo-Bin Mou, Kai Wang, Wei Wang, Zhuo Li | Summary: The origin of ultra-high energy neutrinos still lacks observational evidence, besides, the physical mechanism is also unclear. There is an association of a PeV neutrino event (IceCube-191001A) with an optical tidal disruption event (TDE, AT2019dsg) […]
