Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We use accurate estimates of aluminium abundance provided as part of the APOGEE Data Release 17 and Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometry to select a highly pure sample of stars with metallicity $-1.5lesssim {rm [Fe/H]}lesssim 0.5$ born in-situ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Iosif Bena, Emil J. Martinec, Samir D. Mathur, Nicholas P. Warner, | Summary: The black-hole information paradox provides a stringent test of would-be theories of quantum gravity. String theory has made significant progress toward a resolution of this paradox, and has led to the fuzzball and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, , , , | Summary: Recent developments in holography have suggested a potential resolution to the black hole information paradox within the context of gravitational effective field theory. We emphasize the non-local nature of this proposed resolution, and highlight the ways in which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Suhail Dhawan, Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson, In Sung Jang, Mickael Rigault | Summary: The current Cepheid-calibrated distance ladder measurement of $H_0$ is reported to be in tension with the values inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), assuming standard model cosmology. However, the tip of the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: John Arrington, Joshua Barrow, Brian Batell, Robert Bernstein, Nikita Blinov | Summary: This white paper presents opportunities afforded by the Fermilab Booster Replacement and its various options. Its goal is to inform the design process of the Booster Replacement about the accelerator needs of the various options, […]
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 […]
