HSC Year 1 cosmology results with the minimal bias method: HSC$times$BOSS galaxy-galaxy weak lensing and BOSS galaxy clustering

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Sunao Sugiyama, Masahiro Takada, Hironao Miyatake, Takahiro Nishimichi, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: We present cosmological parameter constraints from a blinded joint analysis of galaxy-galaxy weak lensing, $Delta!Sigma(R)$, and projected correlation function, $w_mathrm{p}(R)$, measured from the first-year HSC (HSC-Y1) data and SDSS spectroscopic galaxies over $0.15<z<0.7$. We use […]

Performance of a phonon-mediated detector using KIDs optimized for sub-GeV dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | First 5 Authors: Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis, Ritoban Basu Thakur, Bruce Bumble, Yen-Yung Chang | Summary: Detection of sub-GeV dark matter candidates requires sub-keV detector thresholds on deposited energy. We provide an update on a gram-scale phonon-mediated KID-based device that was designed for a dark matter search in this mass […]

Peptide Isomerization is Suppressed at the Air-Water Interface

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Aditya N. Singh, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the thermodynamics and kinetics of alanine dipeptide isomerization at the air-water interface. Thermodynamically, we find an affinity of the dipeptide to the interface. This affinity arises from stablizing intramolecular […]

Dynamics of photosynthetic light harvesting systems interacting with N-photon Fock states

Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Liwen Ko, Robert L. Cook, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: We develop a method to simulate the excitonic dynamics of realistic photosynthetic light harvesting systems including non-Markovian coupling to phonon degrees of freedom, under excitation by N-photon Fock state pulses. This method combines the input-output […]
