On the single classical field description of interacting scalar fields

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Andrew Eberhardt, Alvaro Zamora, Michael Kopp, Tom Abel, | Summary: We test the degree to which interacting Bosonic systems can be approximated by a classical field as total occupation number is increased. This is done with our publicly available code repository, href{https://github.com/andillio/QIBS}{QIBS}, a massively parallel solver for […]

Realization of Quantum Dipoles in Triangular Lattice Crystal Ba3Yb(BO3)3

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Rabindranath Bag, Matthew Ennis, Chunxiao Liu, Sachith E. Dissanayake, Zhenzhong Shi | Summary: We investigate the thermodynamic properties of the ytterbium-based triangular lattice compound Ba3Yb(BO3)3. The results demonstrate the absence of any long-range ordering down to 56 mK. Analysis of the magnetization, susceptibility and specific heat measurements […]

Effect of the cosmological transition to metal-enriched star-formation on the hydrogen 21-cm signal

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Mattis Magg, Itamar Reis, Anastasia Fialkov, Rennan Barkana, Ralf S. Klessen | Summary: Mapping Cosmic Dawn with 21-cm tomography offers an exciting new window into the era of primordial star formation. However, self-consistent implementation of both the process of star formation and the related 21-cm signal is […]

Frequency conversion of abruptly autofocusing waves

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Dong-Mei Wang, Hai-Jun Wu, Dong-Sheng Ding, Carmelo Rosales-Guzmán | Summary: Abruptly autofocusing waves and associated ring-Airy (RA) beams are attracting increasing interest owing to their advantages in focusing abruptness and small F-number. Optical frequency conversion via parametric interactions can further expand their application areas, yet […]

Optical leakage mitigation in ortho-mode transducer detectors for microwave applications

Kavli Affiliate: Clarence L. Chang | First 5 Authors: Riccardo Gualtieri, Peter S. Barry, Thomas Cecil, Amy N. Bender, Clarence . L. Chang | Summary: Planar ortho-mode transducers (OMTs) are a commonly used method of coupling optical signals between waveguides and on-chip circuitry and detectors. While the ideal OMT-waveguide coupling requires minimal disturbance to the […]

On measuring the Hubble constant with X-ray reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Adam Ingram, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Michiel van der Klis, Edward Nathan, Riley Connors | Summary: We show that X-ray reverberation mapping can be used to measure the distance to type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). This is because X-ray photons originally emitted from the `corona’ close to the […]

Probing Hot Gas Components of Circumgalactic Medium in Cosmological Simulations with the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect

Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | First 5 Authors: Junhan Kim, Sunil Golwala, James G. Bartlett, Stefania Amodeo, Nicholas Battaglia | Summary: The thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (tSZ) effect is a powerful tool with the potential for constraining directly the properties of the hot gas that dominates dark matter halos because it measures pressure and thus thermal energy […]
