Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Aurora Ireland, Gordan Krnjaic, Takuya Okawa, , | Summary: The Standard Model of particle physics does not explain the origin of the universe’s baryon asymmetry or its primordial fluctuations. The Affleck-Dine mechanism is a well-motivated scenario for generating the baryon asymmetry through the post-inflationary dynamics of a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Kris Mackewicz, Craig Hogan, , , | Summary: We generalize earlier solutions of gravitational shocks sourced by distributional null stress-energy and analyze their observable effects. A systematic method is proposed to demonstrate consistency between the gravitational effects of a null perfect fluid, i.e. a photon gas, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Joshua D. Simon, Ting S. Li, Alexander P. Ji, Andrew B. Pace, Terese T. Hansen | Summary: We present spectroscopy of the ultra-faint Milky Way satellites Eridanus III (Eri III) and DELVE 1. We identify eight member stars in each satellite and place non-constraining upper limits […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bradford A. Benson | First 5 Authors: Alexander W. Raymond, Sheperd S. Doeleman, Keiichi Asada, Lindy Blackburn, Geoffrey C. Bower | Summary: The first very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) detections at 870$mu$m wavelength (345$,$GHz frequency) are reported, achieving the highest diffraction-limited angular resolution yet obtained from the surface of the Earth, and the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb, Keyer Thyme, , | Summary: Cosmological gravitational particle production (GPP) is a generic mechanism by which particles are produced during the inflationary epoch. In this work we consider the GPP of massive scalars in an effort to fully understand the spectrum […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: M. Riley Owens, Keunho J. Kim, Matthew B. Bayliss, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Keren Sharon | Summary: We investigate the Lyman-$alpha$ (Ly$alpha$) and Lyman continuum (LyC) properties of the Sunburst Arc, a $z=2.37$ gravitationally lensed galaxy with a multiply-imaged, compact region leaking LyC and a triple-peaked Ly$alpha$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Anya E. Nugent, Alexander P. Ji, Wen-fai Fong, Hilay Shah, Freeke van de Voort | Summary: Neutron star (NS) mergers are currently the only observed source of r-process production in the Universe. Yet, it is unclear how much r-process mass from these mergers is incorporated into […]

Ji, Wen-fai Fong, Hilay Shah, Freeke van de Voort | Summary: Neutron star (NS) mergers are currently the only observed source of $r$-process production in the Universe. Yet, it is unclear how much $r$-process mass from these mergers is incorporated into […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Tupendra Oli, Wilkie Olin-Ammentorp, Xingfu Wu, Justin H. Qian, Vinod K. Sangwan | Summary: As particle physics experiments evolve to achieve higher energies and resolutions, handling the massive data volumes produced by silicon pixel detectors, which are used for charged particle tracking, poses a significant challenge. To […]
