Search for $Z^{‘} rightarrow μ^{+} μ^{-}$ in the $L_μ{-} L_τ$ gauge-symmetric model at Belle

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: T. Czank, I. Jaegle, A. Ishikawa, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk | Summary: We search for a new gauge boson $Z’$ that couples only to heavy leptons and their corresponding neutrinos in the process $e^{+} e^{-} rightarrow Z'(rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-}) mu^{+}mu^{-}$, using a 643 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected by […]

CompilerGym: Robust, Performant Compiler Optimization Environments for AI Research

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Chris Cummins, Bram Wasti, Jiadong Guo, Brandon Cui, Jason Ansel | Summary: Interest in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to compiler optimizations is increasing rapidly, but compiler research has a high entry barrier. Unlike in other domains, compiler and AI researchers do not have access to the […]

Polarized muons and the origin of biological homochirality

Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noemie Globus, Roger D. Blandford, Anatoli Fedynitch, , | Summary: While biologists have not yet reached a consensus on the definition of life, homochirality – the specific molecular handedness of biomolecules – is a phenomenon only produced by life. The unraveling of its origin requires interdisciplinary […]

DeepGhostBusters: Using Mask R-CNN to Detect and Mask Ghosting and Scattered-Light Artifacts from Optical Survey Images

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Dimitrios Tanoglidis, Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Brian Nord, Michael H. L. S. Wang | Summary: Wide-field astronomical surveys are often affected by the presence of undesirable reflections (often known as "ghosting artifacts" or "ghosts") and scattered-light artifacts. The identification and mitigation of these artifacts is important for […]

Subtle Data Crimes: Naively training machine learning algorithms could lead to overly-optimistic results

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Efrat Shimron, Jonathan I. Tamir, Ke Wang, Michael Lustig, | Summary: While open databases are an important resource in the Deep Learning (DL) era, they are sometimes used "off-label": data published for one task are used for training algorithms for a different one. This work aims to […]

Monte Carlo simulations of neutrino and charged lepton propagation in the Earth with nuPyProp

Kavli Affiliate: Angela Olinto | First 5 Authors: Sameer Patel, Mary Hall Reno, Yosui Akaike, Luis Anchordoqui, Douglas Bergman | Summary: An accurate modeling of neutrino flux attenuation and the distribution of leptons they produce in transit through the Earth is an essential component to determine neutrino flux sensitivities of underground, sub-orbital and space-based detectors. […]

Imaging reconfigurable molecular concentration on a graphene field-effect transistor

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Franklin Liou, Hsin-Zon Tsai, Andrew S. Aikawa, Kyler C. Natividad, Eric Tang | Summary: The spatial arrangement of adsorbates deposited onto a clean surface in vacuum typically cannot be reversibly tuned. Here we use scanning tunneling microscopy to demonstrate that molecules deposited onto graphene field-effect transistors […]

Dark matter transient annihilations in the early Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Katsuya Hashino, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ke-Pan Xie, | Summary: The cosmological evolution can modify the dark matter (DM) properties in the early Universe to be vastly different from the properties today. Therefore, the relation between the relic abundance and the DM constraints today needs to be […]

Subsurface Carbon-Induced Local Charge of Copper for On-Surface Displacement Reaction

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Shaoshan Wang, Pengcheng Ding, Zhuo Li, Cristina Mattioli, Wenlong E | Summary: Transition metal carbides have sparked unprecedented enthusiasm as high-performance catalysts in recent years. Still, the catalytic properties of copper (Cu) carbide remain unexplored. By introducing subsurface carbon (C) to Cu(111), displacement reaction of proton in […]

On-Surface Decarboxylation Coupling Facilitated by Lock-to-Unlock Variation of Molecules upon the Reaction

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Shaoshan Wang, Zhuo Li, Pengcheng Ding, Cristina Mattioli, Wujun Huang | Summary: On-surface synthesis (OSS) involving relatively high energy barriers remains challenging due to a typical dilemma: firm molecular anchor is required to prevent molecular desorption upon the reaction, whereas sufficient lateral mobility is crucial for subsequent […]
