Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Kaia R. Atzberger, Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji, Lara R. Cullinane, Denis Erkal | Summary: Chemical abundances of stellar streams can be used to determine the nature of a stream’s progenitor. Here we study the progenitor of the recently discovered Leiptr stellar stream, which was […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Hanjue Zhu, Ellen G. Zweibel, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: We investigate the 1D plane-parallel front connecting the warm ($10^4$ K) and hot ($10^6$ K) phases of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), focusing on the influence of cosmic rays (CRs) in shaping these transition layers. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Nikolaos Dimitriadis, Alessandro Favero, Guillermo Ortiz-Jimenez, Francois Fleuret | Summary: Fine-tuning pre-trained models has become the standard approach to endow them with specialized knowledge, but it poses fundamental challenges. In particular, textit{(i)} fine-tuning often leads to catastrophic forgetting, where improvements on a target domain degrade […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Nikolaos Dimitriadis, Alessandro Favero, Guillermo Ortiz-Jimenez, Francois Fleuret | Summary: Large pre-trained models exhibit impressive zero-shot performance across diverse tasks, but fine-tuning often leads to catastrophic forgetting, where improvements on a target domain degrade generalization on other tasks. To address this challenge, we introduce LiNeS, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Akerib| First 5 Authors: XLZD Collaboration, XLZD Collaboration, , , | Summary:This report describes the experimental strategy and technologies for XLZD, the next-generation xenon observatory sensitive to dark matter and neutrino physics. In the baseline design, the detector will have an active liquid xenon target of 60 tonnes, which could be increased […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Danté M. Hewitt, Mohit Bhardwaj, Alexa C. Gordon, Aida Kirichenko, Kenzie Nimmo | Summary: We present the localization and host galaxy of FRB 20190208A, a repeating source of fast radio bursts (FRBs) discovered using CHIME/FRB. As part of the PRECISE repeater localization program on the EVN, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | Summary:Neutrinoless double beta decay ($0νββ$) provides a way to probe physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The upcoming nEXO experiment will search for $0νββ$ decay in $^136$Xe with a projected half-life sensitivity exceeding $10^28$ years at the 90% confidence level using a liquid xenon (LXe) Time Projection Chamber […]
Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang | 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 Transition Edge Sensor based two-channel silicon athermal phonon detector with 375 meV baseline energy resolution. We measure two distinct LEE populations: “shared” multichannel events with a […]
