In-flight gain monitoring of SPIDER’s transition-edge sensor arrays

Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin, E. Y. Young, P. A. R. Ade | Summary: Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sensitive and […]

Understanding BBN: the physics and its history

Kavli Affiliate: Michael S. Turner | First 5 Authors: Michael S. Turner, KICP/UChicago, The Kavli Foundation, , | Summary: Big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), today a pillar of modern cosmology, began with the trailblazing 1948 paper of Alpher, Bethe and Gamow. In it, they proposed non-equilibrium nuclear processes in the early Universe ($t sim 1000,$sec) and an […]

SoK: Untangling File-based Encryption on Mobile Devices

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: David Galindo, Jia Liu, Chris McMahon Stone, Mihai Ordean, | Summary: File-based encryption (FBE) schemes have been developed by software vendors to address security concerns related to data storage. While methods of encrypting data-at-rest may seem relatively straightforward, the main proponents of these technologies in mobile devices […]

Microscopic Theory of Magnetic Disorder-Induced Decoherence in Superconducting Nb Films

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Evan Sheridan, Thomas F. Harrelson, Eric Sivonxay, Kristin A. Persson, M. Virginia P. AltoĆ© | Summary: The performance of superconducting qubits is orders of magnitude below what is expected from theoretical estimates based on the loss tangents of the constituent bulk materials. This has been attributed […]

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 […]
