Search for non-virialized axions with 3.3-4.2 $μ$eV mass at selected resolving powers

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: A. T. Hipp, A. Quiskamp, T. J. Caligiure, J. R. Gleason, Y. Han | Summary: The Axion Dark Matter eXperiment is sensitive to narrow axion flows, given axions compose a fraction of the dark matter with a non-negligible local density. Detecting these low-velocity dispersion flows requires a […]

Gravitational Effects of Null Particles

Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Kris Mackewicz, Craig Hogan, , , | Summary: We generalize earlier solutions of gravitational shocks sourced by distributional null stress-energy and analyze their observable effects. A systematic method is proposed to demonstrate consistency between the gravitational effects of a null perfect fluid, i.e. a photon gas, and […]

Transition from adiabatic inspiral to plunge for eccentric binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Devin R. Becker, Scott A. Hughes, , , | Summary: Black hole binaries with small mass ratios will be critical targets for the forthcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. They also serve as useful tools for understanding the properties of binaries at general mass ratios. […]

Measuring the Inconsistency of Large Language Models in Preferential Ranking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiutian Zhao, Ke Wang, Wei Peng, , | Summary: Despite large language models’ (LLMs) recent advancements, their bias and hallucination issues persist, and their ability to offer consistent preferential rankings remains underexplored. This study investigates the capacity of LLMs to provide consistent ordinal preferences, a crucial aspect […]
