Neutrino Observations of LHAASO Sources: Present Constraints and Future Prospects

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Tian-Qi Huang, Zhuo Li, , , | Summary: The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) observed a dozen of gamma-ray sources with significant emission above 100 TeV, which may be strong candidates of PeVatrons. Neutrino observations are crucial to diagnose whether the gamma-ray radiative process is […]

RELDEC: Reinforcement Learning-Based Decoding of Moderate Length LDPC Codes

Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, Allison Beemer, Joerg Kliewer, , | Summary: In this work we propose RELDEC, a novel approach for sequential decoding of moderate length low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. The main idea behind RELDEC is that an optimized decoding policy is subsequently obtained via reinforcement learning based on […]

One Small Step for an Inflaton, One Giant Leap for Inflation: a novel non-Gaussian tail and primordial black holes

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Yi-Fu Cai, Xiao-Han Ma, Misao Sasaki, Dong-Gang Wang, Zihan Zhou | Summary: We report a novel prediction from single-field inflation that even a tiny step in the inflaton potential can change our perception of primordial non-Gaussianities of the curvature perturbation. Our analysis focuses on the tail of […]

On the Detection of QCD Axion Dark Matter by Coherent Scattering

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Hajime Fukuda, Satoshi Shirai, , , | Summary: The QCD axion is a promising candidate of the dark matter. In this paper, we discuss elastic scattering processes between nucleons and the QCD axion dark matter. We point out that the cross section can be enhanced by more […]
