Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Anton Baleato Lizancos, Naomi Robertson, Blake D. Sherwin, Anthony Challinor | Summary: We introduce and validate a delensing framework for the Simons Observatory (SO), which will be used to improve constraints on inflationary gravitational waves (IGWs) by reducing the lensing noise in measurements of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Yuya Ominato, Daigo Oue, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: Angular momentum conversion between mechanical rotation and the valley degree of freedom in 2D Dirac materials is investigated theoretically. Coupling between the valley and vorticity of dynamic lattice distortions is derived by applying the k.p method to 2D […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Andrew W. Mann, Mackenna L. Wood, Stephen P. Schmidt, Madyson G. Barber, James E. Owen | Summary: Mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are predicted to be $simeq$Jovian radius when younger than 10 Myr. Thus, we expect to find 5-15$R_oplus$ planets around young stars even if their older counterparts […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Misao Sasaki, Volodymyr Takhistov, Valeri Vardanyan, Ying-li Zhang, | Summary: Primordial black holes (PBHs) from the early Universe constitute an attractive dark matter candidate. First detections of black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) candidate gravitational wave events by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration, GW200105 and GW200115, already prompted speculations about non-astrophysical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Joolee Son, Suhan Son, Pyeongjae Park, Maengsuk Kim, Zui Tao | Summary: Ferromagnetism in two-dimensional materials presents a promising platform for the development of ultrathin spintronic devices with advanced functionalities. Recently discovered ferromagnetic van der Waals crystals such as CrI$_{3}$, readily isolated two-dimensional crystals, are highly tunable […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Zeng-Zhao Li, Liwen Ko, Zhibo Yang, Mohan Sarovar, K. Birgitta Whaley | Summary: We study the interplay between two environmental influences on excited state energy transfer in photosynthetic light harvesting complexes, namely, vibrationally assisted energy transfer(VAET) and environment-assisted quantum transport (ENAQT), considering a dimeric chromophore donor-acceptor […]
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 […]
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) […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rebecca Masterson | First 5 Authors: Jaesub Hong, Richard P. Binzel, Branden Allen, David Guevel, Jonathan Grindlay | Summary: The REgolith X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) instrument on board NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu is a Class-D student collaboration experiment designed to detect fluoresced X-rays from the asteroid’s surface to measure elemental […]
