Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Claudia Cornella, David Curtin, Gordan Krnjaic, Micah Mellors, | Summary: The Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism offers an elegant explanation for the observed masses and mixings of Standard Model fermions. In this work, we systematically study FN models in the lepton sector, identifying a broad range of charge assignments […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Glazer, Austin Joyce, Maria J. Rodriguez, Luca Santoni, Adam R. Solomon | Summary: We study the scalar tidal responses of spinning higher-dimensional black holes, and their effective field theory description. After constructing the effective field theory of a spinning point particle in general dimension, we apply […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan L. Rosner | First 5 Authors: Xiaocong Ai, Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Peter Athron, Xiaozhi Bai, Lorenzo Calibbi | Summary: We discuss the landscape of flavor physics at the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC), based on the nominal luminosity outlined in its Technical Design Report. The CEPC is designed to operate in multiple modes to […]

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Yiming Pang, Joshua E. Castro, Trevor J. Steiner, Liao Duan, Noemi Tagliavacche | Summary: Integrated photonic microresonators have become an essential resource for generating photonic qubits for quantum information processing, entanglement distribution and networking, and quantum communications. The pair generation rate is enhanced by reducing the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiao Hu, Jaehan Bae, Zhaohuan Zhu, Lile Wang, | Summary: Magnetized winds and photoevaporative winds are critical in shaping protoplanetary disk evolution. Using 2D axisymmetric (magneto-)hydrodynamic simulations with Athena++ implementing fully coupled thermochemistry, we investigate the signatures of the two winds in CO and [C~I] ALMA observations, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: David Robinson, Camille Avestruz, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Vadim A. Semenov, | Summary: Gas cooling and heating rates are vital components of hydrodynamic simulations. However, they are computationally expensive to evaluate exactly with chemical networks or photoionization codes. We compare two different approximation schemes for gas cooling […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Rayne Liu, Wayne Hu, Daniel Grin, , | Summary: Ultralight axions (ULAs) with masses $10^{-33} lesssim m/{rm eV} lesssim 10^{-12}$ are well motivated in string-inspired models and can be part or all of the dark energy or the dark matter in this range. Since the ULA field […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: P. M. Chichura, A. Rahlin, A. J. Anderson, B. Ansarinejad, M. Archipley | Summary: We present improvements to the pointing accuracy of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) using machine learning. The ability of the SPT to point accurately at the sky is limited by its structural imperfections, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Zhang, Mingjian Tang, Haoxuan Mu, Xingzi Yang, Xiaowei Zeng | Summary: In many biological materials such as nacre and bone, the material structure consists of hard grains and soft interfaces, with the interfaces playing a significant role in the material’s mechanical behavior. This type of structures […]
