Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman Kayla A. Owens, In Sung Jang, , | Summary: We present an extensive grid of numerical simulations quantifying the uncertainties in measurements of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB). These simulations incorporate a luminosity function composed of 2 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | First 5 Authors: Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana M. Botti, Mariano Cababie, Gustavo Cancelo | Summary: Millicharged particles appear in several extensions of the Standard Model, but have not yet been detected. These hypothetical particles could be produced by an intense proton beam striking a fixed target. We use […]

Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Kris Mackewicz, Craig Hogan, , , | Summary: We analyze the classical linear gravitational effect of idealized pion-like dynamical systems, consisting of light quarks connected by attractive gluonic material with a stress-energy $p=-rho c^2$ in one or more dimensions. In one orbit of a system of total […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Nina M. Coyle, Carlos E. M. Wagner, , , | Summary: The QED hadronic vacuum polarization function plays an important role in the determination of precision electroweak observables and of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. These contributions have been computed from data, by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan L. Rosner | First 5 Authors: Marek Karliner, Jonathan L. Rosner, , , | Summary: Hadrons containing at least one heavy quark (charm or bottom) frequently have small enough natural widths that decay modes involving a single photon have detectable branching fractions. Photons of typical energy greater than 100 MeV have been […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Keisuke Inomata, Hayden Lee, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: We study the $N$-point function of the density contrast to quadratic order in the squeezed limit during the matter-dominated (MD) and radiation-dominated (RD) eras in synchronous gauge. Since synchronous gauge follows the free-fall frame of observers, the equivalence […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paolo Privitera | First 5 Authors: Santiago Perez, Dario Rodrigues, Juan Estrada, Roni Harnik, Zhen Liu | Summary: Oscura is a planned light-dark matter search experiment using Skipper-CCDs with a total active mass of 10 kg. As part of the detector development, the collaboration plans to build the Oscura Integration Test (OIT), an […]
