Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Henry Lamm, Ying-Ying Li, Wanqiang Liu, | Summary: The quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories for the foreseeable future will be hampered by limited resources. The historical success of Symanzik-improved lattice actions in classical simulations strongly suggests that improved Hamiltonians will reduce quantum resources for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Rosner | First 5 Authors: Stuart Bale, Amitava Bhattacharjee, Fausto Cattaneo, Jemes Drake, Hantao Ji | Summary: Major scientific questions and research opportunities are described on 10 unprioritized plasma astrophysics topics: (1) magnetic reconnection, (2) collisionless shocks and particle acceleration, (3) waves and turbulence, (4) magnetic dynamos, (5) interface and shear instabilities, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paolo Privitera | First 5 Authors: Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Fabricio Alcalde Bessia, Nicolas Avalos, Daniel Baxter, Xavier Bertou | Summary: The Oscura experiment will lead the search for low-mass dark matter particles using a very large array of novel silicon Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) with a threshold of two electrons and with a total […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: John F. R. Duncan, Jeffrey A. Harvey, Brandon C. Rayhaun, , | Summary: The Thompson sporadic group admits special relationships to modular forms of two kinds. On the one hand, last century’s generalized moonshine for the monster equipped the Thompson group with a module for which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: John F. R. Duncan, Jeffrey A. Harvey, Brandon C. Rayhaun, , | Summary: Motivated by the appearance of penumbral moonshine, and by evidence that penumbral moonshine enjoys an extensive relationship to generalized monstrous moonshine via infinite products, we establish a general construction in this work which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Jose María Ezquiaga, Daniel E. Holz, , , | Summary: We explore the use of the mass spectrum of neutron stars and black holes in gravitational-wave compact binary sources as a cosmological probe. These standard siren sources provide direct measurements of luminosity distance. In addition, features […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Peter Abbamonte, Daniel Baxter, Yonatan Kahn, Gordan Krnjaic, Noah Kurinsky | Summary: In light of recent results from low-threshold dark matter detectors, we revisit the possibility of a common dark matter origin for multiple excesses across numerous direct detection experiments, with a focus on the excess rates […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Frontiere, J. D. Emberson, Michael Buehlmann, Joseph Adamo, Salman Habib | Summary: We introduce CRK-HACC, an extension of the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC), to resolve gas hydrodynamics in large-scale structure formation simulations of the universe. The new framework couples the HACC gravitational N-body solver with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Li-Hsin Chen, Mattis Magg, Tilman Hartwig, Simon C. O. Glover, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: We study the stellar mass-to-halo mass relation at $z=0$ in 30 Milky Way-like systems down to the ultra-faint ($M_* < 10^5 M_odot$) regime using the semi-analytic model A-SLOTH. A new model […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Sarah M. Harrison, Jeffrey A. Harvey, Natalie M. Paquette, , | Summary: We present a brief overview of Moonshine with an emphasis on connections to physics. Moonshine collectively refers to a set of phenomena connecting group theory, analytic number theory, and vertex operator algebras or conformal […]
