First results on SiSeRO (Single electron Sensitive Read Out) devices — a new X-ray detector for scientific instrumentation

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall Bautz | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Barry Burke, Kevan Donlon, Gregory Prigozhin | Summary: We present an evaluation of a novel on-chip charge detector, called the Single electron Sensitive Read Out (SiSeRO), for charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor applications. It uses a p-MOSFET transistor at the output stage with […]

Probing the properties of superheavy dark matter annihilating or decaying into neutrinos with ultra-high energy neutrino experiments

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Claire Guépin, Roberto Aloisio, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Austin Cummings, John F. Krizmanic | Summary: The evidence for dark matter particles, $chi$, is compelling based on Galactic to cosmological scale observations. Thus far, the promising weakly interacting massive particle scenario have eluded detection, motivating alternative models of […]

Evidence for a Compact Object in the Aftermath of the Extra-Galactic Transient AT2018cow

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Remillard | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Wynn C. G. Ho, William Alston, Ronald Remillard, Mason Ng | Summary: The brightest Fast Blue Optical Transients (FBOTs) are mysterious extragalactic explosions that may represent a new class of astrophysical phenomena. Their fast time to maximum brightness of less than a week and […]

Detection of spatial clustering in the 1000 richest SDSS DR8 redMaPPer clusters with Nearest Neighbor distributions

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Yunchong Wang, Arka Banerjee, Tom Abel, ., | Summary: Distances to the $k$-nearest-neighbor ($k$NN) data points from volume-filling query points are a sensitive probe of spatial clustering. Here we present the first application of $k$NN summary statistics to observational clustering measurement, using the 1000 richest redMaPPer clusters […]

Creating Multimodal Interactive Agents with Imitation and Self-Supervised Learning

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: DeepMind Interactive Agents Team, Josh Abramson, Arun Ahuja, Arthur Brussee, Federico Carnevale | Summary: A common vision from science fiction is that robots will one day inhabit our physical spaces, sense the world as we do, assist our physical labours, and communicate with us through natural language. […]

Shock Revival in Core-collapse Supernovae Assisted by Heavy Axion-like Particles

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Kanji Mori, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Axion-like particles (ALPs) are a class of hypothetical pseudoscalar particles which feebly interact with ordinary matter. The hot plasma of core-collapse supernovae is a possible laboratory to explore physics beyond the standard model including ALPs. Once produced, […]

Benchmarking the performance of DFT functionals for absorption and fluorescence spectra of EGFR inhibitor AG-1478 using TD-DFT

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Sallam Alagawani, Vladislav Vasilyev, Feng Wang, , | Summary: Optical spectra (UV-vis and fluorescence) are sensitive to the chemical environment and conformation of fluorophores and therefore, are ideal probes for their conformation and solvent responses. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as AG-1478 of epidermal growth factor receptor […]
