Low Energy Backgrounds and Excess Noise in a Two-Channel Low-Threshold Calorimeter

Kavli Affiliate: Clarence L. Chang | First 5 Authors: Robin Anthony-Petersen, Clarence L. Chang, Yen-Yung Chang, Luke Chaplinsky, Caleb W. Fink | Summary: We describe observations of low energy excess (LEE) events (background events observed in all light dark matter direct detection calorimeters) and noise in a two-channel silicon athermal phonon detector with 375 meV […]

Universality in the Near-Side Energy-Energy Correlator

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Xiaohui Liu, Werner Vogelsang, Feng Yuan, Hua Xing Zhu, | Summary: We investigate the energy-energy correlator (EEC) of hadrons produced on the same side in $e^+e^-$ annihilation or in leading jets in $pp$ collisions. We observe a remarkable universality of the correlator. Using a non-perturbative transverse momentum […]

AEOS: Star-by-Star Cosmological Simulations of Early Chemical Enrichment and Galaxy Formation

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Kaley Brauer, Andrew Emerick, Jennifer Mead, Alexander P. Ji, John H. Wise | Summary: The AEOS project introduces a series of high-resolution cosmological simulations that model star-by-star chemical enrichment and galaxy formation in the early Universe, achieving 1 pc resolution. These simulations capture the complexities of galaxy […]

Is the low-energy optical absorption in correlated insulators controlled by quantum geometry?

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Dan Mao, Juan Felipe Mendez-Valderrama, Debanjan Chowdhury, , | Summary: Inspired by the discovery of a variety of correlated insulators in the moir’e universe, controlled by interactions projected to a set of isolated bands with a narrow bandwidth, we examine here a partial sum-rule associated with the […]

Correcting for Selection Biases in the Determination of the Hubble Constant from Time-Delay Cosmography

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Tian Li, Thomas E. Collett, Philip J. Marshall, Sydney Erickson, Wolfgang Enzi | Summary: The time delay between multiple images of strongly lensed quasars has been used to infer the Hubble constant. The primary systematic uncertainty for time-delay cosmography is the mass-sheet transform (MST), which preserves […]

Domain-Adaptive Neural Posterior Estimation for Strong Gravitational Lens Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Paxson Swierc, Marcos Tamargo-Arizmendi, Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, Brian D. Nord, | Summary: Modeling strong gravitational lenses is prohibitively expensive for modern and next-generation cosmic survey data. Neural posterior estimation (NPE), a simulation-based inference (SBI) approach, has been studied as an avenue for efficient analysis of strong lensing […]
