Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Antonija Utrobicic, Yannis Angelis, Stephan Aune, Jonathan Bortfeldt, Florian Brunbauer | Summary: The PICOSEC Micromegas precise timing detector is based on a Cherenkov radiator coupled to a semi-transparent photocathode and a Micromegas amplification structure. The first proof of concept single-channel small area prototype was able to achieve […]
Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: I. Yu. Rybak, C. J. A. P. Martins, Patrick Peter, E. P. S. Shellard, | Summary: We consider the evolution of current-carrying cosmic string networks described by the charge-velocity-dependent one scale (CVOS) model beyond the linear equation of state regime, specifically focusing on the Witten […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Marta Lisowska, Yannis Angelis, Stephan Aune, Jonathan Bortfeldt, Florian Brunbauer | Summary: The PICOSEC Micromegas (MM) detector is a precise timing gaseous detector consisting of a Cherenkov radiator combined with a photocathode and a MM amplifying structure. A 100-channel non-resistive PICOSEC MM prototype with 10×10 cm^2 active […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Lue Wu, Maodong Gao, Jin-Yu Liu, Hao-Jing Chen, Kellan Colburn | Summary: Thermal silica is a common dielectric used in all silicon-photonic circuits. And bound hydroxyl ions (Si-OH) can provide a significant component of optical loss in this material on account of the wet nature of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Zachary Bogorad, Peter W. Graham, Giorgio Gratta, , | Summary: Significant effort has been devoted to searching for new fundamental forces of nature. At short length scales (below approximately 10 nm), the strongest experimental constraints come from neutron scattering from individual nuclei in gases. The leading experiments […]

Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Srujan Meesala, Steven Wood, David Lake, Piero Chiappina, Changchun Zhong | Summary: Modern computing and communication technologies such as supercomputers and the internet are based on optically connected networks of microwave frequency information processors. In recent years, an analogous architecture has emerged for quantum networks with optically […]

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Yupeng Yao, Alexander P. Ji, Sergey E. Koposov, Guilherme Limberg, | Summary: Very metal-poor stars ($rm[Fe/H] < -2$) in the Milky Way are fossil records of early chemical evolution and the assembly and structure of the Galaxy. However, they are rare and hard to find. Gaia […]
