Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib| Summary:We present a novel architecture for accelerating PIV calculations. An optical flow hardware accelerator does the brunt of the work, with cross-correlation only providing quick corrections. The result is RapidPIV: a free-to-download software program for real-time particle image velocimetry (PIV) for Linux and Windows computers with an Nvidia Turing-gen (or newer) […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | Summary:Achieving compact and efficient visible laser sources is crucial for a wide range of applications. However traditional semiconductor laser technology faces difficulties in producing high-brightness green light, leaving a green gap in wavelength coverage. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) offers a promising alternative by converting near-infrared sources to visible wavelengths with high […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | Summary:A precise determination of the bubble wall velocity $v_w$ is crucial for making accurate predictions of the baryon asymmetry and gravitational wave (GW) signals in models of electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG). Working in the local thermal equilibrium approximation, we exploit entropy conservation to present efficient algorithms for computing $v_w$, significantly streamlining […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | Summary:We study the stability of ultracompact boson stars admitting light rings combining a perturbative analysis with 3+1 numerical-relativity simulations with and without symmetry assumptions. We observe excellent agreement between all perturbative and numerical results which uniformly support the hypothesis that this family of black-hole mimickers is separated into stable and […]

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: K. Ravindran, K. Adamczyk, H. Aihara, S. Bacher, S. Bahinipati | Summary: In 2024, the Belle II experiment resumed data taking after the Long Shutdown 1, which was required to install a two-layer pixel detector and upgrade accelerator components. We describe the challenges of this shutdown and […]
Kavli Affiliate: A. C. Davis | Summary:We report the measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in the N to $Δ$ transition via the $e^- + p rightarrow e^- + Δ^+$ reaction at two different kinematic points with low four-momentum transfer Q$^2$. Measurements were made with incident electron beam energies of 0.877 and 1.16 GeV, corresponding to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Stephanie Buttigieg, Debora Sijacki, Christopher J. Moore, Martin A. Bourne, | Summary: The co-evolution of massive black holes (BHs) and their host galaxies is well-established within the hierarchical galaxy formation paradigm. Large-scale cosmological simulations are an ideal tool to study the repeated BH mergers, accretion and feedback […]
