Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang | First 5 Authors: Clarence Chang, T. J. Hobbs, Dafei Jin, Yi Li, Marharyta Lisovenko | Summary: We introduce an array-scalable, magnon-based detector (MOSAIC) to search for the spin-dependent interactions of electron-coupled axion dark matter. These axions can excite single magnons in magnetic targets, such as the yttrium iron garnet (YIG) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Harry Goodhew, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee, Guilherme L. Pimentel | Summary: We uncover a geometric organization of the differential equations for the wavefunction coefficients of conformally coupled scalars in power-law cosmologies. To do this, we introduce a basis of functions inspired by a decomposition of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Abigail G. Vieregg | First 5 Authors: Andrew Zeolla, Jaime Alvarez-Muñiz, Sergio Cabana-Freire, Washington Carvalho Jr., Austin Cummings | Summary: Ultra-high energy neutrinos ($E>10^{17}$ eV) can provide insight into the most powerful accelerators in the universe, however their flux is extremely low. The Beamforming Elevated Array for COsmic Neutrinos (BEACON) is a detector […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Asher Berlin, Joshua W. Foster, Dan Hooper, Gordan Krnjaic, | Summary: We present a mechanism that allows thermal relic dark matter to annihilate efficiently in the Galactic Halo and in galaxy clusters, but not in the lower-velocity environments of dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies. We realize this within […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Hanjue Zhu, , , | Summary: Recently, several observational detections of damping-wing-like features at the edges of “dark gaps" in the spectra of distant quasars (the “Malloy-Lidz effect") have been reported, rendering strong support for the existence of “neutral islands" in the universe […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , , , | Summary: I compare the power spectra of the radiation fields from two recent sets of fully-coupled simulations that model cosmic reionization: "Cosmic Reionization On Computers" (CROC) and "Thesan". While both simulations have similar power spectra of the radiation sources, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Frieman | First 5 Authors: Ryn Grutkoski, Hayley J. Macpherson, John T. Giblin Jr, Joshua Frieman, | Summary: We use numerical relativity to study the violent preheating era at the end of inflation. This epoch can result in highly nonlinear fluctuations in density and gravitational potential which feed back onto the averaged […]
Kavli Affiliate: Elise Jennings | First 5 Authors: Ronny Müller, Maximilian Zanner, Mika Schielein, Martin Rüfenacht, Elise Jennings | Summary: We develop a parametric error model to construct a digital twin of a superconducting transmon qubit device. The model parameters are extracted from hardware calibration data and supplementary benchmarking circuits, providing a dynamic, system-specific representation […]
