Kavli Affiliate: Scott P. Wakely | First 5 Authors: H. S. Ahn, P. S. Allison, M. G. Bagliesi, J. J. Beatty, G. Bigongiari | Summary: We present new measurements of heavy cosmic-ray nuclei at high energies per- formed during the first flight of the balloon-borne cosmic-ray experiment CREAM (Cosmic-Ray Energetics And Mass). This instrument uses […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luca Grandi | First 5 Authors: R. Acciarri, M. Antonello, B. Baibussinov, M. Baldo-Ceolin, P. Benetti | Summary: A dedicated test of the effects of Oxygen contamination in liquid Argon has been performed at the INFN-Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS, Italy) within the WArP R&D program. Two detectors have been used: the WArP 2.3 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paolo Privitera | First 5 Authors: M. Ave, , , , | Summary: The fluorescence detection of ultra high energy cosmic rays requires a detailed knowledge of the fluorescence light emission from nitrogen molecules over a wide range of atmospheric parameters, corresponding to altitudes typical of the cosmic ray shower development in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward W. Kolb, , , , | Summary: In these two lectures I will discuss some outstanding problems in the standard model of cosmology, concentrating on the physics that might be related to the title of this school, “Searching for the totally unexpected in the LHC era.” […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Debanjan Chowdhury, , , , | Summary: For most of the important processes in DNA metabolism, a protein has to reach a specific binding site on the DNA. The specific binding site may consist of just a few base pairs while the DNA is usually several millions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: Savdeep Sethi, , , , | Summary: We show that a class of torsional compactifications of the heterotic string are dual to conventional Kahler heterotic string compactifications. This observation follows from the recently proposed analogue of the c-map for the heterotic string. | Search Query: arXiv Query: […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paolo Privitera | First 5 Authors: AIRFLY Collaboration, , , , | Summary: The fluorescence detection of ultra high energy (> 10^18 eV) cosmic rays requires a detailed knowledge of the fluorescence light emission from nitrogen molecules, which are excited by the cosmic ray shower particles along their path in the atmosphere. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Thomas Crawford | First 5 Authors: Tom Crawford, , , , | Summary: We investigate the effects of 1/f noise on the ability of a particular class of Cosmic Microwave Background experiments to measure the angular power spectrum of temperature anisotropy. We concentrate on experiments that operate primarily in raster-scan mode and develop […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: C. L. Kuo, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock, J. R. Bond, C. R. Contaldi | Summary: We report improved measurements of temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation made with the Arcminute Cosmology Bolometer Array Receiver (ACBAR). In this paper, we use a […]
