Learning to Trigger: Reinforcement Learning at the Large Hadron Collider

Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | Summary:High-throughput scientific facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider depend on real-time event filtering (textittriggering) under tight constraints on bandwidth, latency, and storage. In practice, trigger menus are largely static and hand-tuned and can become suboptimal as detector conditions, pileup, and background composition drift over time. We cast online […]

Searchlight Optimization Using Representational Similarity Analysis for Subject-Level Voxel Selection in Emotional State Decoding

Kavli Affiliate: David Linden | Authors: Xuelei Wang, Jana Zweerings, Michael Lührs, Fengyu Cong, Klaus Mathiak, David E.J. Linden, Rainer Goebel, Assunta Ciarlo and David M. A. Mehler | Summary: Identifying informative voxels is a critical, yet challenging step in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), particularly for multivariate analyses involving multiple related conditions. Existing approaches […]

Decoding Chronic Pain States from Distributed Intracranial Recordings

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Jeremy Saal, Ankit N. Khambhati, Edward F. Chang and Prasad Shirvalkar | Summary: Chronic pain engages distributed cortical and subcortical circuits, and large-scale intracranial recordings in humans offer a valuable opportunity to characterize its neural signatures. Here, we recorded multi-day stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) from six participants with refractory chronic neuropathic […]

Hydrogen airglow from an escaping ultrahot Jupiter atmosphere

Kavli Affiliate: Dimitri Mawet| Summary:Intense high-energy irradiation of close-in gaseous exoplanets drives the rapid escape of their atmospheres, fundamentally shaping planetary demographics. While atmospheric loss is routinely observed via transit absorption in atomic hydrogen, helium, and metal ions, the underlying physical properties, specifically the thermal structure, outflow dynamics, and mass-loss rate, remain poorly constrained due […]

Discovery of an Exterior Third Planet Orbiting $β$ Pictoris

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | Summary:We report the discovery of $β$ Pictoris d ($β$ Pic d), a third giant planet in the $β$ Pictoris system, which now becomes only the second directly imaged system with more than two confirmed planets. $β$ Pic d was serendipitously detected in JWST/NIRSpec IFU observations. A second epoch of NIRSpec […]

Observing a 542-day transiting giant with large TTVs: The 2025 transit of HIP 41378 f and new constraints on the outer system

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | Summary:Characterizing long-period transiting exoplanets is inherently challenging due to the rarity and long duration of transit events. Yet, these systems provide unique insights into planetary formation, migration, the detection of exomoons, and primordial atmospheres by occupying a sparsely populated region of the exoplanet parameter space. The complexity increases further for […]
