Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Taisuke Katayose, Shigeki Matsumoto, Satoshi Shirai, , | Summary: Electroweakly Interacting Massive Particles (EWIMPs), in other words, new massive particles that are charged under the electroweak interaction of the Standard Model (SM), are often predicted in various new physics models. EWIMPs are probed at hadron collider experiments […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Luisa Lucie-Smith, Hiranya V. Peiris, Andrew Pontzen, Brian Nord, Jeyan Thiyagalingam | Summary: The evolution of linear initial conditions present in the early universe into extended halos of dark matter at late times can be computed using cosmological simulations. However, a theoretical understanding of this complex process […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: William J. Huggins, Sam McArdle, Thomas E. O’Brien, Joonho Lee, Nicholas C. Rubin | Summary: Contemporary quantum computers have relatively high levels of noise, making it difficult to use them to perform useful calculations, even with a large number of qubits. Quantum error correction is expected […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Gourav Khullar, Katya Gozman, Jason J. Lin, Michael N. Martinez, Owen S. Matthews Acuña | Summary: We report the discovery of COOL J1241+2219, a strongly-lensed galaxy at redshift $z$=5.043$pm$0.002 with observed magnitude $z_{AB}=20.47$, lensed by a moderate-mass galaxy cluster at $z$=1.001$pm$0.001. COOL J1241+2219 is the brightest […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Kirsti Pajunen, Paolo Celli, Chiara Daraio, , | Summary: In this letter, we provide experimental evidence of bandgap tunability with global prestrain in additively-manufactured tensegrity-inspired lattice structures. These lattices are extremely lightweight and designed to exhibit a nonlinear compressive response that mimics that of a tensegrity structure. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Larry A. Young, William Rapin, Evgeniy Sklyanskiy | Summary: Mid-Air Deployment (MAD) of a rotorcraft during Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) on Mars eliminates the need to carry a propulsion or airbag landing system. This reduces the total mass inside the aeroshell by […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eli S. Rykoff | First 5 Authors: LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso, Robert Armstrong, Éric Aubourg | Summary: We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Lam Hui, Austin Joyce, Riccardo Penco, Luca Santoni, Adam R. Solomon | Summary: We derive the quadratic action for the physical degrees of freedom of massless spin-0, spin-1, and spin-2 perturbations on a Schwarzschild–(A)dS background in arbitrary dimensions. We then use these results to compute the static […]
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 […]
