Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | Summary:A terrestrial population of room-temperature millicharged particles can arise if they make up a dark matter subcomponent or if they are light enough to be produced in cosmic ray air showers. In a companion paper, we showed that a simple electrified shell acts as an efficient accumulator for such particles, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw | Summary:Cuprates are the paradigmatic `unconventional’ superconductors: their critical temperature is much higher than can be expected from phonon-mediated pairing; the superconducting gap has $d$-wave symmetry; and the normal-metallic state appears to be far from a conventional Fermi liquid. These and numerous other experimental facts have led to a consensus that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw | Summary:We summarize key experimental studies of the low energy properties of overdoped cuprate high temperature superconductors and conclude that a theoretical understanding of the “essential physics" is achievable in terms of a conventional Fermi-liquid treatment of the normal state, and a BCS mean-field treatment of the (d-wave) superconducting state. For […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | Summary:We present a simulation-based forward-modeling framework for cosmological inference from optical galaxy-cluster samples, and apply it to the abundance and weak-lensing signals of DES-Y1 redMaPPer clusters. The model embeds cosmology-dependent optical selection using a counts-in-cylinders approach, while also accounting for cluster miscentering and baryonic feedback in lensing. Applied to DES-Y1, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Feng Wang, , , | Summary: To effectively handle flows characterized by strong backflow and multiple open boundaries within particle-based frameworks, this study introduces three enhancements to improve the consistency, independence, and accuracy of the buffer-based open boundary condition in SPHinXsys. First, to improve the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maria Monzani | Summary:Accurate position reconstruction in noble-element time-projection chambers (TPCs) is critical for rare-event searches in astroparticle physics, yet is systematically limited by electric field distortions arising from charge accumulation on detector surfaces. Conventional data-driven field corrections suffer from three fundamental limitations: discretization artifacts that break smoothness and differentiability, lack of guaranteed […]
