Kavli Affiliate: Luca Grandi | First 5 Authors: R. Brunetti, E. Calligarich, M. Cambiaghi, F. Carbonara, F. Cavanna | Summary: The WARP programme for dark matter search with a double phase argon detector is presented. In such a detector both excitation and ionization produced by an impinging particle are evaluated by the contemporary measurement of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy Freedman | First 5 Authors: Wendy L. Freedman, , , , | Summary: The Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) is aimed at providing an independent measure of change in the the Hubble expansion as a function of redshift, and setting constraints dark energy contribution to the total energy content of the universe. Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Michael D. Gladders, Howard K. C. Yee, , , | Summary: The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a $sim$100 square degree, two-filter imaging survey in the $R_C$ and $z’$ filters, designed primarily to locate and characterise galaxy clusters to redshifts as high as $z=1.4$. This paper provides […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: David Charbonneau, , , , | Summary: The Hubble Space Telescope is uniquely able to study planets that are observed to transit their parent stars. The extremely stable platform afforded by an orbiting spacecraft, free from the contaminating effects of the Earth’s atmosphere, enables HST to conduct […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Ariel Megevand, Mariano Quiros, Carlos E. M. Wagner, | Summary: New fermions, strongly coupled to the Standard Model Higgs boson provide a well motivated extension of the Standard Model (SM). In this work we show that, once new physics at heavier scales is added to […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Erik M. Leitch, J. M. Kovac, N. W. Halverson, J. E. Carlstrom, C. Pryke | Summary: We present the analysis of the complete 3-year data set obtained with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer (DASI) polarization experiment, operating from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole research station. Additional data obtained […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, , , , | Summary: A direct comparison of quantum and classical dynamical systems can be accomplished through the use of distribution functions. This is useful for both fundamental investigations such as the nature of the quantum-classical transition as well as for applications such as […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luca Grandi | First 5 Authors: R. Brunetti, E. Calligarich, M. Cambiaghi, F. Carbonara, A. Cocco | Summary: The WARP programme is a graded programme intended to search for cold Dark Matter in the form of WIMP’s. These particles may produce via weak interactions nuclear recoils in the energy range 10-100 keV. A […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bradford Benson | First 5 Authors: B. A. Benson, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock, K. M. Ganga, C. N. Henson | Summary: We present new measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect from clusters of galaxies using the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Infrared Experiment (SuZIE II). We combine these new measurements with previous cluster observations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Liantao Wang | First 5 Authors: Dan Hooper, Lian-Tao Wang, , , | Summary: Recently, the SPI spectrometer on the INTEGRAL satellite observed strong 511 keV line emission from the galactic bulge. Although the angular distribution (spherically symmetric with width of sim 9 degree) of this emission is difficult to account for with […]
