Charged-hadron identification at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, H. Ahmed, Y. Ahn, H. Aihara | Summary: The Belle II experiment’s ability to identify particles critically affects the sensitivity of its measurements. We describe Belle II’s algorithms for identifying charged particles and evaluate their performance in separating pions, kaons, and protons […]

Estimating Bolometric Luminosities of Type 1 Quasars with Self-Organizing Maps

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | Summary:We present a new method to calculate bolometric luminosities for unobscured, type 1 quasars with multi-band photometric data. Bolometric luminosity is a fundamental property to understand quasars and it is commonly estimated from monochromatic luminosities using bolometric corrections that often neglect quasar SED diversity. We take advantage of the fact […]

Characterising the Standardisation Properties of Type Ia Supernovae in the z band with Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling

Kavli Affiliate: Kaisey Mandel | Summary:Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are standardisable candles: their peak magnitudes can be corrected for correlations between light curve properties and their luminosities to precisely estimate distances. Understanding SN Ia standardisation across wavelength improves methods for correcting SN Ia magnitudes. Using 150 SNe Ia from the Foundation Supernova Survey and […]

Simulating fluid vortex interactions on a superconducting quantum processor

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ziteng Wang, Jiarun Zhong, Ke Wang, Zitian Zhu, Zehang Bao | Summary: Vortex interactions are commonly observed in atmospheric turbulence, plasma dynamics, and collective behaviors in biological systems. However, accurately simulating these complex interactions is highly challenging due to the need to capture fine-scale details over extended […]

Computational Architects of Society: Quantum Machine Learning for Social Rule Genesis

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Shan Shan, Shan Shan, , , | Summary: The quantification of social science remains a longstanding challenge, largely due to the philosophical nature of its foundational theories. Although quantum computing has advanced rapidly in recent years, its relevance to social theory remains underexplored. Most existing research focuses […]
