Tests of the Standard Model at the International Linear Collider

Kavli Affiliate: Mihoko Nojiri | First 5 Authors: Keisuke Fujii, Christophe Grojean, Michael E. Peskin, Tim Barklow, Yaunning Gao | Summary: We present an overview of the capabilities that the International Linear Collider (ILC) offers for precision measurements that probe the Standard Model. First, we discuss the improvements that the ILC will make in precision […]

MFB: A Mid-Frequency-Band Space Gravitational Wave Observer for the 2020 Decade

Kavli Affiliate: Peter F. Michelson | First 5 Authors: Peter F. Michelson, Robert L. Byer, Sasha Buchman, Ilya Mandel, John Lipa | Summary: We make the case for the early development of a Mid-Frequency-Band (MFB) gravitational wave (GW) observatory in geosynchronous orbit (73,000 km arm), optimized for the frequency band 10 mHz to 1 Hz. […]

Characterisation of the Particle-Induced Background of XMM-Newton EPIC-pn: Short and Long Term Variability

Kavli Affiliate: Catherine Grant | First 5 Authors: Esra Bulbul, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen, Michael Freyberg, Eric D. Miller | Summary: The particle-induced background of X-ray observatories is produced by Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) primary protons, electrons, and He ions. Events due to direct interaction with the detector are usually removed by on board processing. […]

Liquid-Like Interfaces Mediate Structural Phase Transitions in Lead Halide Perovskites

Kavli Affiliate: Peidong Yang | First 5 Authors: Connor G. Bischak, Minliang Lai, Dylan Lu, Zhaochuan Fan, Philippe David | Summary: Microscopic pathways of structural phase transitions are difficult to probe because they occur over multiple, disparate time and length scales. Using $in$ $situ$ nanoscale cathodoluminescence microscopy, we visualize the thermally-driven transition to the perovskite […]

Generalized Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem on bosonic symmetry protected topological phases

Kavli Affiliate: Shenghan Jiang | First 5 Authors: Shenghan Jiang, Meng Cheng, Yang Qi, Yuan-Ming Lu, | Summary: We propose and prove a family of generalized Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorems for symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases on boson/spin models in any dimensions. The "conventional" LSM theorem, applicable to e.g. any translation invariant system with an odd […]
