Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Marcela Carena, Nausheen R. Shah, Carlos E. M. Wagner, Yikun Wang | Summary: Electroweak baryogenesis is an attractive mechanism to generate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via a strong first order electroweak phase transition. We compare the phase transition patterns suggested by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Hiroki Yoneda, Kazuo Makishima, Teruaki Enoto, Dmitry Khangulyan, Takahiro Matsumoto | Summary: To understand the nature of the brightest gamma-ray binary system LS 5039, hard X-ray data of the object, taken with the Suzaku and NuSTAR observatories in 2007 and 2016, respectively, were analyzed. The two data […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Lukas Graf, Brian Henning, Xiaochuan Lu, Tom Melia, Hitoshi Murayama | Summary: We apply Hilbert series techniques to the enumeration of operators in the mesonic QCD chiral Lagrangian. Existing Hilbert series technologies for non-linear realizations are extended to incorporate the external fields. The action of charge conjugation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Tenyo Kawamura, Tadashi Orita, Shin’ichiro Takeda, Shin Watanabe, Hirokazu Ikeda | Summary: We present our latest ASIC, which is used for the readout of Cadmium Telluride double-sided strip detectors (CdTe DSDs) and high spectroscopic imaging. It is implemented in a 0.35 um CMOS technology (X-Fab XH035), consists […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Jose María Ezquiaga, Daniel E. Holz, Wayne Hu, Macarena Lagos, Robert M. Wald | Summary: Assessing the probability that two or more gravitational waves (GWs) are lensed images of the same source requires an understanding of the image properties, including their relative phase shifts in strong […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Frieman | First 5 Authors: Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu, Wei-Ting Liao, A. Miguel Holgado, Hengxiao Guo | Summary: Periodically variable quasars have been suggested as close binary supermassive black holes. We present a systematic search for periodic light curves in 625 spectroscopically confirmed quasars with a median redshift of 1.8 in a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho Authors: The CMB-S4 Collaboration, :, Kevork Abazajian, Graeme E. Addison, Peter Adshead, Zeeshan Ahmed, Daniel Akerib, Aamir Ali, Steven W. Allen, David Alonso —- Summary: CMB-S4—the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment—is set to significantly advance the sensitivity of CMB measurements and enhance our understanding of the origin and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Karen Byrum | First 5 Authors: The CMB-S4 Collaboration, :, Kevork Abazajian, Graeme E. Addison, Peter Adshead | Summary: CMB-S4—the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment—is set to significantly advance the sensitivity of CMB measurements and enhance our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Universe, from the highest energies at […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy Freedman | First 5 Authors: Eleonora Di Valentino, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ozgur Akarsu, Yacine Ali-Haimoud, Luca Amendola | Summary: A precise measurement of the curvature of the Universe is of primeval importance for cosmology since it could not only confirm the paradigm of primordial inflation but also help in discriminating between different […]
