Energy Loss Due to Defect Formation from $^{206}$Pb Recoils in SuperCDMS Germanium Detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Brink | First 5 Authors: Robert Agnese, Taylor Aralis, Tsuguo Aramaki, Isaac Arnquist, Elham Azadbakht | Summary: The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory studied energy loss associated with Frenkel defect formation in germanium crystals at mK temperatures using in situ $^{210}$Pb sources. We examine the […]

Optomechanical damping as the origin of sideband asymmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Ya M. Blanter | First 5 Authors: J. D. P. Machado, Ya. M. Blanter, , , | Summary: Sideband asymmetry in cavity optomechanics has been explained by particle creation and annihilation processes, which bestow an amplitude proportional to ‘n+1’ and ‘n’ excitations to each of the respective sidebands. We discuss the issues with […]

Ring objects in the equivariant derived Satake category arising from Coulomb branches (with an appendix by Gus Lonergan)

Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | First 5 Authors: Alexander Braverman, Michael Finkelberg, Hiraku Nakajima, , | Summary: This is the second companion paper of arXiv:1601.03586. We consider the morphism from the variety of triples introduced in arXiv:1601.03586 to the affine Grassmannian. The direct image of the dualizing complex is a ring object in the equivariant […]

Wavelet-Based Characterization of Small-Scale Solar Emission Features at Low Radio Frequencies

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Goeke | First 5 Authors: Akshay Suresh, Rohit Sharma, Divya Oberoi, Srijan B. Das, Victor Pankratius | Summary: Low radio frequency solar observations using the Murchison Widefield Array have recently revealed the presence of numerous weak, short-lived and narrow-band emission features, even during moderately quiet solar conditions. These non-thermal features occur at […]

Constraint on the inflow/outflow rates in star-forming galaxies at z~1.4 from molecular gas observations

Kavli Affiliate: Naoyuki Tamura | First 5 Authors: Akifumi Seko, Kouji Ohta, Kiyoto Yabe, Bunyo Hatsukade, Masayuki Akiyama | Summary: We constrain the rate of gas inflow into and outflow from a main-sequence star-forming galaxy at z~1.4 by fitting a simple analytic model for the chemical evolution in a galaxy to the observational data of […]

S-folds and 4d N=3 superconformal field theories

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Ofer Aharony, Yuji Tachikawa, Kiyonori Gomi, , | Summary: S-folds are generalizations of orientifolds in type IIB string theory, such that the geometric identifications are accompanied by non-trivial S-duality transformations. They were recently used by Garcia-Etxebarria and Regalado to provide the first construction of four dimensional N=3 […]

Towards a mathematical definition of Coulomb branches of $3$-dimensional $mathcal N=4$ gauge theories, II

Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | First 5 Authors: Alexander Braverman, Michael Finkelberg, Hiraku Nakajima, , | Summary: Consider the $3$-dimensional $mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory associated with a compact Lie group $G_c$ and its quaternionic representation $mathbf M$. Physicists study its Coulomb branch, which is a noncompact hyper-K"ahler manifold with an $mathrm{SU}(2)$-action, possibly with singularities. […]
