Observation of $e^+e^-toωχ_{bJ}(1P)$ and search for $X_b to ωΥ(1S)$ at $sqrt{s}$ near 10.75 GeV

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We study the processes $e^+e^-toomegachi_{bJ}(1P)$ ($J$ = 0, 1, or 2) using samples at center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}$ = 10.701, 10.745, and 10.805 GeV, corresponding to 1.6, 9.8, and 4.7 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, respectively. […]

Uncovering dark matter density profiles in dwarf galaxies with graph neural networks

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Tri Nguyen, Siddharth Mishra-Sharma, Reuel Williams, Lina Necib, | Summary: Dwarf galaxies are small, dark matter-dominated galaxies, some of which are embedded within the Milky Way. Their lack of baryonic matter (e.g., stars and gas) makes them perfect test beds for probing the properties of dark matter […]

Extensions and approximations of Banach-valued Sobolev functions

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Miguel García-Bravo, Toni Ikonen, Zheng Zhu, , | Summary: In complete metric measure spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a weak Poincar’e inequality, we investigate when a given Banach-valued Sobolev function defined on a subset satisfying a measure-density condition is the restriction of a Banach-valued […]

On the formation of over-ionized plasma in evolved supernova remnants

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Miho Katsuragawa, Shiu-Hang Lee, Hirokazu Odaka, Aya Bamba, Hideaki Matsumura | Summary: One of the outstanding mysteries surrounding the rich diversity found in supernova remnants (SNRs) is the recent discovery of over-ionized or recombining plasma from a number of dynamically evolved objects. To help decipher its formation […]

Collective phototactic robotectonics

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Fabio Giardina, S Ganga Prasath, L Mahadevan, , | Summary: Cooperative task execution, a hallmark of eusociality, is enabled by local interactions between the agents and the environment through a dynamically evolving communication signal. Inspired by the collective behavior of social insects whose dynamics is modulated by […]

Biases to primordial non-Gaussianity measurements from CMB secondary anisotropies

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: William Coulton, Alexander Miranthis, Anthony Challinor, , | Summary: Our view of the last-scattering surface in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is obscured by secondary anisotropies, sourced by scattering, extragalactic emission and gravitational processes between recombination and observation. Whilst it is established that non-Gaussianity from the correlation […]

Norepinephrine enhances oligodendrocyte precursor cell calcium dynamics in the cerebral cortex during arousal

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles | Authors: Tsai-Yi Lu, Priyanka Hanumaihgari, Eric T Hsu, Amit Agarwal and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: Abstract Oligodendrocytes are generated from a widely distributed population of progenitors that express neurotransmitter receptors, but the mechanisms that alter activity of these oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in vivo have not been determined. We […]
