GRUMPY: a simple framework for realistic forward-modelling of dwarf galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, Viraj Manwadkar, , , | Summary: We present a simple regulator-type framework designed specifically for modelling formation of dwarf galaxies. We explore sensitivity of model predictions for the stellar mass–halo mass and stellar mass–metallicity relations to different modelling choices and parameter values. Despite its simplicity, […]

Unveiling a critical stripy state in the triangular-lattice SU(4) spin-orbital model

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Hui-Ke Jin, Rong-Yang Sun, Hong-Hao Tu, Yi Zhou, | Summary: The simplest spin-orbital model can host a nematic spin-orbital liquid state on the triangular lattice. We provide clear evidence that the ground state of the SU(4) Kugel-Khomskii model on the triangular lattice can be well described by […]

Turn-Key Constrained Parameter Space Exploration for Particle Accelerators Using Bayesian Active Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Young-kee Kim | Summary:Particle accelerators are invaluable discovery engines in the chemical, biological and physical sciences. Characterization of the accelerated beam response to accelerator input parameters is of-ten the first step when conducting accelerator-based experiments. Currently used techniques for characterization, such as grid-like parameter sampling scans, become impractical when extended to higher dimensional […]

Phonon Screening of Excitons in Semiconductors: Halide Perovskites and Beyond

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Marina R. Filip, Jonah B. Haber, Jeffrey B. Neaton, , | Summary: The ab initio Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) approach, an established method for the study of excitons in materials, is typically solved in a limit where only static screening from electrons is captured. Here, we generalize […]

SENSEI: Characterization of Single-Electron Events Using a Skipper-CCD

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | Summary:We use a science-grade Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) operating in a low-radiation background environment to develop a semi-empirical model that characterizes the origin of single-electron events in CCDs. We identify, separate, and quantify three independent contributions to the single-electron events, which were previously bundled together and classified as "dark […]

Design and production of the high voltage electrode grids and electron extraction region for the LZ dual-phase xenon time projection chamber

Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | Summary:The dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) is a powerful tool for direct-detection experiments searching for WIMP dark matter, other dark matter models, and neutrinoless double-beta decay. Successful operation of such a TPC is critically dependent on the ability to hold high electric fields in the bulk liquid, across […]
