Tests of Gravitational-Wave Birefringence with the Open Gravitational-Wave Catalog

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yi-Fan Wang, Stephanie M. Brown, Lijing Shao, Wen Zhao, | Summary: The routine detection of gravitational-wave events from compact binary coalescences has allowed precise tests of gravity in strong field, dynamical field, and high energy regime. In this work, we report the results of testing gravitational-wave birefringence […]

Quantum criticality of fermion velocities and critical temperature nearby a putative quantum phase transition in the $d$-wave superconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiao-Yue Ren, Ya-Hui Zhai, Jing Wang, , | Summary: Quantum critical behaviors induced by a putative quantum phase transition are vigilantly investigated, which separates a $d$-wave superconducting state and $d$-wave superconducting+$X$ state below the superconducting dome of the $d-$wave superconductors with tuning the non-thermal doping variable. Within […]

Assisted Learning for Organizations with Limited Data

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Cheng Chen, Jiaying Zhou, Jie Ding, Yi Zhou, | Summary: We develop an assisted learning framework for assisting organization-level learners to improve their learning performance with limited and imbalanced data. In particular, learners at the organization level usually have sufficient computation resource, but are subject to stringent […]

Dark matter constraints with stacked gamma rays scales with the number of galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Daiki Hashimoto, Atsushi J. Nishizawa, Masahiro Takada, Oscar Macias, | Summary: Low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) are interesting targets for searches of dark matter emission due to their low baryonic content. However, predicting their expected dark matter emissivities is difficult because of observational challenges in their distance measurements. Here […]

Dark matter constraint with gamma-ray galaxies cross correlation scales with N

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Daiki Hashimoto, Atsushi J. Nishizawa, Masahiro Takada, Oscar Macias, | Summary: A new method to constrain the dark matter annihilation cross section by taking the cross correlation of gamma-ray diffuse maps and galaxies is proposed. As a result, the statistical power of constraining the annihilation cross section […]

Polarized muons and the origin of biological homochirality

Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noemie Globus, Roger D. Blandford, Anatoli Fedynitch, , | Summary: While biologists have not yet reached a consensus on the definition of life, homochirality – the specific molecular handedness of biomolecules – is a phenomenon only produced by life. The unraveling of its origin requires interdisciplinary […]
