Imaging and Spectral Performance of a 60 μm Pitch CdTe Double-Sided Strip Detector

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Kento Furukawa, Shunsaku Nagasawa, Lindsay Glesener, Miho Katsuragawa, Shin’ichiro Takeda | Summary: We have evaluated the performance of a fine pitch CdTe Double-sided Strip Detector (CdTe-DSD), which was originally developed for the focal plane detector of a hard X-ray telescope to observe the Sun. The detector has […]

Effective Field Theory for Acoustic and Pseudo-Acoustic Phonons in Solids

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Angelo Esposito, Emma Geoffray, Tom Melia, , | Summary: We present a relativistic effective field theory for the interaction between acoustic and gapped phonons in the limit of a small gap. We show that, while the former are the Goldstone modes associated with the spontaneous breaking of […]

Dynamics of an inverted cantilever plate at moderate angle of attack

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Cecilia Huertas-Cerdeira, Andres Goza, John E. Sader, Tim Colonius, Morteza Gharib | Summary: The dynamics of a cantilever plate clamped at its trailing edge and placed at a moderate angle ($alpha leq 30^{circ}$) to a uniform flow are investigated experimentally and numerically, and a large experimental data […]

Defining the $T overline{T}$ Deformation on $mathrm{AdS}_2$

Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: T. Daniel Brennan, Christian Ferko, Emil Martinec, Savdeep Sethi, | Summary: We show that the $T overline{T}$ deformation of two-dimensional quantum field theory on $mathrm{AdS}_2$ is well-defined and solvable at the quantum level. Flow equations for the energy spectrum and partition function are derived in analogy with […]

Prospects for High-Elevation Radio Detection of >100 PeV Tau Neutrinos

Kavli Affiliate: Abigail Vieregg | First 5 Authors: Stephanie Wissel, Andrés Romero-Wolf, Harm Schoorlemmer, Washington R. Carvalho Jr., Jaime Alvarez-Muñiz | Summary: Tau neutrinos are expected to comprise roughly one third of both the astrophysical and cosmogenic neutrino flux, but currently the flavor ratio is poorly constrained and the expected flux at energies above $10^{17}$ […]

SENSEI: Direct-Detection Results on sub-GeV Dark Matter from a New Skipper-CCD

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | First 5 Authors: Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Mariano Cababie, Gustavo Cancelo, Luke Chaplinsky | Summary: We present the first direct-detection search for eV-to-GeV dark matter using a new ~2-gram high-resistivity Skipper-CCD from a dedicated fabrication batch that was optimized for dark-matter searches. Using 24 days of data acquired in […]

Efficient phase-factor evaluation in quantum signal processing

Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Yulong Dong, Xiang Meng, K. Birgitta Whaley, Lin Lin, | Summary: Quantum signal processing (QSP) is a powerful quantum algorithm to exactly implement matrix polynomials on quantum computers. Asymptotic analysis of quantum algorithms based on QSP has shown that asymptotically optimal results can in principle be […]
