Probing the properties of superheavy dark matter annihilating or decaying into neutrinos with ultra-high energy neutrino experiments

Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Claire Guépin, Roberto Aloisio, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Austin Cummings, John F. Krizmanic | Summary: The evidence for dark matter particles, $chi$, is compelling based on Galactic to cosmological scale observations. Thus far, the promising weakly interacting massive particle scenario have eluded detection, motivating alternative models of […]

Evidence for a Compact Object in the Aftermath of the Extra-Galactic Transient AT2018cow

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Wynn C. G. Ho, William Alston, Ronald Remillard, Mason Ng | Summary: The brightest Fast Blue Optical Transients (FBOTs) are mysterious extragalactic explosions that may represent a new class of astrophysical phenomena. Their fast time to maximum brightness of less than a week […]

Forward-modelling the Luminosity, Distance, and Size distributions of the Milky Way Satellites

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Viraj Manwadkar, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We use texttt{GRUMPY}, a simple regulator-type model for dwarf galaxy formation and evolution, to forward model dwarf galaxy satellite population of the Milky Way (MW) using the Caterpillar zoom-in simulation suite. We show that luminosity and distance distributions of […]

The Pantheon+ Analysis: Forward-Modeling the Dust and Intrinsic Colour Distributions of Type Ia Supernovae, and Quantifying their Impact on Cosmological Inferences

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Brodie Popovic, Dillon Brout, Richard Kessler, Daniel Scolnic, | Summary: Recent studies have shown that the observed colour distributions of Type Ia SNe (SNIa) are well-described by a combination of distributions from dust and intrinsic colour. Here we present a new forward-modeling fitting method (Dust2Dust) to measure […]

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

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 $V_cb$

Kavli Affiliate: 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 semileptonic tree-level decays of B mesons. For many years there have […]

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

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 […]

Using principal stratification in analysis of clinical trials

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Ilya Lipkovich, Bohdana Ratitch, Yongming Qu, Xiang Zhang, Mingyang Shan | Summary: The ICH E9(R1) addendum (2019) proposed principal stratification (PS) as one of five strategies for dealing with intercurrent events. Therefore, understanding the strengths, limitations, and assumptions of PS is important for the broad community of […]
