Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: D. C. Goldfinger, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri, D. Barkats | Summary: Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background rely on cryogenic instrumentation with cold detectors, readout, and optics providing the low noise performance and instrumental stability required to make more sensitive measurements. It is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Piero Madau, , , | Summary: The transformation of cold neutral intergalactic hydrogen into a highly ionized warm plasma marks the end of the cosmic dark ages and the beginning of the age of galaxies. The details of this process reflect the nature […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: A. Soliman, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri, D. Barkats | Summary: Constraining the Galactic foregrounds with multi-frequency Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations is an essential step towards ultimately reaching the sensitivity to measure primordial gravitational waves (PGWs), the sign of inflation after the Big-Bang […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Moonzarin Reza, Yuanyuan Zhang, Brian Nord, Jason Poh, Aleksandra Ciprijanovic | Summary: Inferring the values and uncertainties of cosmological parameters in a cosmology model is of paramount importance for modern cosmic observations. In this paper, we use the simulation-based inference (SBI) approach to estimate cosmological constraints from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Qiuping Jiang, Ronggang Wang, Siwei Ma, Ge Li | Summary: Consistent quality oriented rate control in video coding has attracted much more attention. However, the existing efforts only focus on decreasing variations between every two adjacent frames, but neglect coding trade-off problem between intra and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Pavel Fileviez Perez, Andrea Pocar, K. S. Babu, Leah J. Broussard, Vincenzo Cirigliano | Summary: In this report we discuss the main theories to understand the origin of baryon and lepton number violation in physics beyond the Standard Model. We present the theoretical predictions for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: J. Cornelison, C. Vergès, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri | Summary: The BICEP3 Polarimeter is a small aperture, refracting telescope, dedicated to the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at 95GHz. It is designed to target degree angular scale polarization patterns, in particular […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Darcy R. Barron, Amy N. Bender, Ian E. Birdwell, John E. Carlstrom, Jacques Delabrouille | Summary: CMB-S4 will map the cosmic microwave background to unprecedented precision, while simultaneously surveying the millimeter-wave time-domain sky, in order to advance our understanding of cosmology and the universe. CMB-S4 will […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Kelly R. Moran, Katrin Heitmann, Earl Lawrence, Salman Habib, Derek Bingham | Summary: Modern cosmological surveys are delivering datasets characterized by unprecedented quality and statistical completeness; this trend is expected to continue into the future as new ground- and space-based surveys come online. In order to maximally […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: E. Schiappucci, F. Bianchini, M. Aguena, M. Archipley, L. Balkenhol | Summary: We infer the mean optical depth of a sample of optically-selected galaxy clusters from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) via the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (kSZ) effect. The pairwise kSZ signal between pairs of clusters drawn […]
