Ultra-bright Coherent Undulator Radiation Driven by Dielectric Laser Accelerator

Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Yen-Chieh Huang, Robert L. Byer, , , | Summary: A dielectric laser accelerator, operating at optical frequencies and GHz pulse rate, is expected to produce attosec electron bunches with a moderate beam current at high energy. For relativistic electrons, the attosec bunch has a spatial length […]

A Stress Induced Source of Phonon Bursts and Quasiparticle Poisoning

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Robin Anthony-Petersen, Andreas Biekert, Raymond Bunker, Clarence L. Chang, Yen-Yung Chang | Summary: The performance of superconducting qubits is degraded by a poorly characterized set of energy sources breaking the Cooper pairs responsible for superconductivity, creating a condition often called “quasiparticle poisoning". Both superconducting qubits and low […]

Monojet signatures from gluino and squark decays

Kavli Affiliate: Mihoko M. Nojiri | First 5 Authors: Iñaki Lara, Trygve Buanes, Rafał Masełek, Mihoko M. Nojiri, Krzysztof Rolbiecki | Summary: We study the monojet and dijet channels at the LHC as a tool for searching for squarks and gluinos. We consider two separate R-parity conserving supersymmetric scenarios. In the first scenario we postulate […]
