Librational Feedback Cooling

Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Charles P. Blakemore, Denzal Martin, Alexander Fieguth, Nadav Priel, Gautam Venugopalan | Summary: Librational motion, whereby a rigid body undergoes angular oscillation around a preferred direction, can be observed in optically trapped, silica microspheres. We demonstrate the cooling of one librational degree of freedom for $sim 5~mu$m […]

Accretion Variability as a Guide to Stellar Mass Assembly

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: William J. Fischer, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Gregory J. Herczeg, Doug Johnstone, Ágnes Kóspál | Summary: Variable accretion in young stellar objects reveals itself photometrically and spectroscopically over a continuum of timescales and amplitudes. Most dramatic are the large outbursts (e.g., FU Ori, V1647 Ori, and EX […]

X-ray Nano-imaging of Defects in Thin Film Catalysts via Cluster Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Jin Suntivich | First 5 Authors: Aileen Luo, Oleg Yu. Gorobtsov, Jocienne N. Nelson, Ding-Yuan Kuo, Ziming Shao | Summary: Functional properties of transition-metal oxides strongly depend on crystallographic defects. In transition-metal-oxide electrocatalysts such as SrIrO3 (SIO), crystallographic lattice deviations can affect ionic diffusion and adsorbate binding energies. Scanning x-ray nanodiffraction enables imaging […]

Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier: The landscape of low-threshold dark matter direct detection in the next decade

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Rouven Essig, Graham K. Giovanetti, Noah Kurinsky, Dan McKinsey, Karthik Ramanathan | Summary: The search for particle-like dark matter with meV-to-GeV masses has developed rapidly in the past few years. We summarize the science case for these searches, the recent progress, and the exciting upcoming opportunities. Funding […]
