Kavli Affiliate: Elizabeth Buckley-Geer | Summary:We investigate the ability of human ‘expert’ classifiers to identify strong gravitational lens candidates in Dark Energy Survey like imaging. We recruited a total of 55 people that completed more than 25$%$ of the project. During the classification task, we present to the participants 1489 images. The sample contains a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jill Leutgeb | Authors: Markos Athanasiadis, Stefano Masserini, Li Yuan, Dustin Fetterhoff, Jill K Leutgeb, Stefan Leutgeb and Christian Leibold | Summary: Remembering what just happened is a crucial prerequisite to form long-term memories but also for establishing and maintaining working memory. So far there is no general agreement about cortical mechanisms that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haipeng An, Xingyao Chen, Shuailiang Ge, Jia Liu, Yan Luo | Summary: Ultralight dark photons and axions are well-motivated hypothetical dark matter candidates. Both dark photon dark matter and axion dark matter can resonantly convert into electromagnetic waves in the solar corona when their mass is equal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nelson Darkwah Oppong| Summary:We introduce a method for quantum simulation of U$(1)$ lattice gauge theories coupled to matter, utilizing alkaline-earth(-like) atoms in state-dependent optical lattices. The proposal enables the study of both gauge and fermionic-matter fields without integrating out one of them in one and two dimensions. We focus on a realistic and […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Harry T. J. Bevins, Stefan Heimersheim, Irene Abril-Cabezas, Anastasia Fialkov, Eloy de Lera Acedo | Summary: The first billion years of cosmic history remains largely unobserved. We demonstrate, using a novel machine learning technique, how combining upper limits on the spatial fluctuations in the 21-cm signal with […]
