Direct Detection of Ultralight Dark Matter via Charged Lepton Flavor Violation

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Innes Bigaran, Patrick J. Fox, Yann Gouttenoire, Roni Harnik, Gordan Krnjaic | Summary: We propose a dark matter direct-detection strategy using charged particle decays at accelerator-based experiments. If ultralight $(m_phi ll text{eV})$ dark matter has a misalignment abundance, its local field oscillates in time at a frequency […]

Illuminating the Physics of Dark Energy with the Discovery Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann | First 5 Authors: Gillian D. Beltz-Mohrmann, Adrian Pope, Alex Alarcon, Michael Buehlmann, Nicholas Frontiere | Summary: In this paper, we present the Discovery simulations: a new pair of high-resolution N-body simulations motivated by the DESI Y1 BAO cosmological constraints on dark energy. The Discovery simulations were run with identical initial […]

TOI-6324b: An Earth-Mass Ultra-Short-Period Planet Transiting a Nearby M Dwarf

Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Rena A. Lee, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard, Samuel Halverson, Jonathan Gomez Barrientos | Summary: We report the confirmation of TOI-6324 b, an Earth-sized (1.059 $pm$ 0.041 R$_oplus$) ultra-short-period (USP) planet orbiting a nearby ($sim$20 pc) M dwarf. Using the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder (KPF) spectrograph, […]

Disturbed cold gas in galaxy and structure formation

Siwei Zou, Robert A. Simcoe, Patrick Petitjean, Celine Peroux, Jaclyn B. Champagne | Summary: [[{“value”:”Cold and cool gas (T $leq 10^4$ K) in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and its interaction with galaxies remain poorly understood. Simulations predict that cold gas flows into galaxies through cosmic filaments, determining the disk formation and galaxy evolution. The cold […]

One-loop Renormalization of BPS String Masses in Pseudo-anomalous Heterotic String

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey A. Harvey, Tai Wai Hu, , , | Summary: Compactification of heterotic string on a Calabi-Yau threefold can lead to a four-dimensional low-energy effective theory which contains a $U(1)$ gauge theory which is pseudo-anomalous, meaning that the fermion content is anomalous, but that the fermion […]

Unveiling a Hidden Percolation Transition in Monitored Clifford Circuits: Inroads from ZX-Calculus

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Einat Buznach, Debanjan Chowdhury, Jonathan Ruhman, , | Summary: We revisit the measurement-induced phase transition (MPT) in Clifford circuits, which are both classically simulable and exhibit critical behavior widely believed to be distinct from classical percolation theory, using ZX-calculus. We analyze the MPT in a dynamical model […]
