The origin of long soft lags and the nature of the hard-intermediate state in black hole binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Tenyo Kawamura, Chris Done, Tadayuki Takahashi, , | Summary: Fast variability of the X-ray corona in black hole binaries can produce a soft lag by reverberation, where the reprocessed thermalized disc photons lag behind the illuminating hard X-rays. This lag is small, and systematically decreases with increasing […]

Aspects of higher-point functions in BCFT$_d$

Kavli Affiliate: Xinan Zhou | First 5 Authors: Junding Chen, Xinan Zhou, , , | Summary: We study three-point correlation functions of scalar operators in conformal field theories with boundaries and interfaces. We focus on two cases where there are one bulk and two boundary operators (B$partialpartial$), or two bulk and one boundary operators (BB$partial$). […]

All-microwave and low-cost Lamb shift engineering for a fixed frequency multi-level superconducting qubit

Kavli Affiliate: Gary A. Steele | First 5 Authors: Byoung-moo Ann, Gary A. Steele, , , | Summary: It is known that the electromagnetic vacuum is responsible for the Lamb shift, which is a crucial phenomenon in quantum electrodynamics (QED). In circuit QED, the readout or bus resonators that are dispersively coupled can result in […]

Multi-messenger signals of heavy axionlike particles in core-collapse supernovae: two-dimensional simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Kanji Mori, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Core-collapse supernovae are a useful laboratory to probe the nature of exotic particles. If axionlike particles (ALPs) are produced in supernovae, they can affect the transfer of energy and leave traces in observational signatures. In this work, […]

A Cross-correlation Study between IceCube Neutrino Events and the Fermi Unresolved Gamma-ray Sky

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Charles | First 5 Authors: Michela Negro, Milena Crnogorčević, Eric Burns, Eric Charles, Lea Marcotulli | Summary: With the coincident detections of electromagnetic radiation together with gravitational waves (GW170817) or neutrinos (TXS 0506+056), the new era of multimessenger astrophysics has begun. Of particular interest are the searches for correlation between the high-energy […]
