Kavli Affiliate: Kentaro Hori | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Hori, Johanna Knapp, , , | Summary: We construct and study a two parameter gauged linear sigma model with gauge group $(U(1)^2times O(2))/{mathbb Z}_2$ that has a dual model with gauge group $(U(1)^2times SO(4))/{mathbb Z}_2$. The model has two geometric phases, three hybrid phases and one […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | First 5 Authors: Dagny Fleischman, Luke Sweatlock, Hirotaka Murakami, Harry Atwater, | Summary: The subwavelength mode volumes of plasmonic filters are well matched to the small size of state-of-the-art active pixels (~ 1 {mu}m) in CMOS image sensor arrays used in portable electronic devices. Typical plasmonic filters exhibit broad (> […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yu V. Nazarov | First 5 Authors: F. Vischi, M. Carrega, E. Strambini, S. D’Ambrosio, F. S. Bergeret | Summary: We present an exhaustive theoretical analysis of a double-loop Josephson proximity interferometer, as the one recently realized by Strambini et al. for the control of the Andreev spectrum via an external magnetic field. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael T. Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Diana Car, Sonia Conesa-Boj, Hao Zhang, Roy L. M. Op het Veld, Michiel W. A. de Moor | Summary: Majorana zero modes (MZMs), prime candidates for topological quantum bits, are detected as zero bias conductance peaks (ZBPs) in tunneling spectroscopy measurements. Implementation of a narrow and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul Brink | First 5 Authors: Noah Kurinsky, Paul Brink, Richard Partridge, Blas Cabrera, Matt Pyle | Summary: We present the technical design for the SuperCDMS high-voltage, low-mass dark matter detectors, designed to be sensitive to dark matter down to 300 MeV/$c^2$ in mass and resolve individual electron-hole pairs from low-energy scattering events […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip Marshall | First 5 Authors: Lindsay Oldham, Matt Auger, Chris Fassnacht, Tommaso Treu, Brendon J. Brewer | Summary: We present a new sample of strong gravitational lens systems where both the foreground lenses and background sources are early-type galaxies. Using imaging from HST/ACS and Keck/NIRC2, we model the surface brightness distributions and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Morgan | First 5 Authors: Natasha Hurley-Walker, Joseph R. Callingham, Paul J. Hancock, Thomas M. O. Franzen, Luke Hindson | Summary: Using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), the low-frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA1 LOW) precursor located in Western Australia, we have completed the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA (GLEAM) survey, and present […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui | First 5 Authors: Yu-Wei Liao, Tzu-Ching Chang, Cheng-Yu Kuo, Kiyoshi Wesley Masui, Niels Oppermann | Summary: Polarization leakage of foreground synchrotron emission is a critical issue in HI intensity mapping experiments. While the sought-after HI emission is unpolarized, polarized foregrounds such as Galactic and extragalactic synchrotron radiation, if coupled […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz M. Madejski | First 5 Authors: Ryosuke Itoh, Krzysztof Nalewajko, Yasushi Fukazawa, Makoto Uemura, Yasuyuki T. Tanaka | Summary: Blazars are highly variable active galactic nuclei which emit radiation at all wavelengths from radio to gamma-rays. Polarized radiation from blazars is one key piece of evidence for synchrotron radiation at low energies […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoyuki Tamura | First 5 Authors: Akifumi Seko, Kouji Ohta, Kiyoto Yabe, Bunyo Hatsukade, Masayuki Akiyama | Summary: We constrain the rate of gas inflow into and outflow from a main-sequence star-forming galaxy at z~1.4 by fitting a simple analytic model for the chemical evolution in a galaxy to the observational data of […]
