Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin| First 5 Authors: Emily Koivu, Emily Koivu, , , | Summary:Currently the asteroid mass window (mass $sim 10^17- 10^21$ grams) remains unconstrained for Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) to make up all of the dark matter content of the universe. Given these PBHs have very small masses, their Hawking temperature can be […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Alexander P. Ji, Alexander P. Ji, , , | Summary: The first stars formed out of pristine gas, causing them to be so massive that none are expected to have survived until today. If their direct descendants were sufficiently low-mass stars, they could exist today and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Ernesto Arganda, Ernesto Arganda, , , | Summary: We investigate a WIMP dark matter (DM) candidate in the form of a singlino-dominated lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) within the $Z_3$-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. This framework gives rise to regions of parameter space where DM is […]

This framework gives rise to regions of parameter space where DM is obtained via co-annihilation with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang| First 5 Authors: Juliang Li, Juliang Li, , , | Summary:Superconducting thin films with high intrinsic kinetic inductance $L_k$ are important for high-sensitivity detectors, enabling strong coupling in hybrid quantum systems, and enhancing nonlinearities in quantum devices. We report the room-temperature reactive sputtering of titanium nitride thin films with a critical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Mahdi Abdollahi, Mahdi Abdollahi, , , | Summary: The Period-Luminosity (PL) relation is usually derived using time-averaged magnitudes, which require multiple-epoch observations to determine periods and adequately sample the light curves. Although single-epoch observations are more practical and require significantly less observational effort, they inherently introduce […]

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Pedro Bittar, Pedro Bittar, , , | Summary: The CMS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has observed two four-jet events with a total invariant mass of about 8 TeV; within each event, the jets can be paired into two dijets with invariant masses […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Harry Fosbinder-Elkins, Harry Fosbinder-Elkins, , , | Summary: In 2023, Moore and Singh used the theory of orbifold vertex operator algebras to explicitly construct an $mathcalN = 1$ supercurrent in the Beauty and the Beast module of Dixon, Ginsparg, and Harvey. Using their techniques, we show […]
