QCD Axion Search with ILC Beam Facility

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Hajime Fukuda, Hidetoshi Otono, Satoshi Shirai, , | Summary: One of the most promising methods to search for axions is a light-shining-through-walls (LSW) experiment. In this work, we discuss the possibility of performing an LSW experiment at the ILC experiment, where photon beams are generated for positron […]

Cohesin erases genomic-proximity biases to drive stochastic Protocadherin expression for proper neural wiring

Kavli Affiliate: Daniele Canzio | Authors: Lea Kiefer, Gabrielle Isabelle F. Servito, Sandy M Rajkumar, Jennifer Langen, Anna Chiosso, Alexander Buckley, Elizabeth S. Cha, Adan Horta, Michael H Mui and Daniele Canzio | Summary: Clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) proteins act as cell-surface recognition barcodes for neural circuit formation. Neurites expressing the same barcode repel each other, […]

An extended mixed finite element method for elliptic interface problems

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Pei Cao, Jinru Chen, Feng Wang, , | Summary: In this paper, we propose an extended mixed finite element method for elliptic interface problems. By adding some stabilization terms, we present a mixed approximation form based on Brezzi-Douglas-Marini element space and the piecewise constant function space, and […]

Not so fuzzy: excluding FDM with sizes and stellar kinematics of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Neal Dalal, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We use observations of ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies to constrain the particle mass of ultra-light dark matter. Potential fluctuations created by wave interference in virialized "fuzzy" dark matter (FDM) halos dynamically heat stellar orbits in UFDs, some of which […]

LINNA: Likelihood Inference Neural Network Accelerator

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Chun-Hao To, Eduardo Rozo, Elisabeth Krause, Hao-Yi Wu, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: Bayesian posterior inference of modern multi-probe cosmological analyses incurs massive computational costs. For instance, depending on the combinations of probes, a single posterior inference for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) data had a […]

Soft limits of the wavefunction in exceptional scalar theories

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Noah Bittermann, Austin Joyce, , , | Summary: We study the structure of the flat space wavefunctional in scalar field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetries. These symmetries imply soft theorems that are satisfied by wavefunction coefficients in the limit where one of the external momenta is scaled […]

MOSAIC: A Unified Trait Database to Complement Structured Population Models

Kavli Affiliate: Gabriel Silva | Authors: Connor Bernard, Gabriel Silva Santos, Jacques Deere, Roberto Rodriguez-Caro, Pol Capdevila, Erik Kusch, Samuel Gascoigne, John Jackson and Roberto Salguero-Gomez | Summary: The ecological sciences have joined the big data revolution. However, despite exponential growth in data availability, broader interoperability amongst datasets is still needed to unlock the potential […]
