Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | First 5 Authors: Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Mariano Cababie, Gustavo Cancelo, Luke Chaplinsky | Summary: We present the first direct-detection search for eV-to-GeV dark matter using a new ~2-gram high-resistivity Skipper-CCD from a dedicated fabrication batch that was optimized for dark-matter searches. Using 24 days of data acquired in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Donald G. York | First 5 Authors: David V. Bowen, Todd M. Tripp, Edward B. Jenkins, Max Pettini, Doron Chelouche | Summary: We present an HST Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) spectrum of the QSO SDSS J095109.12+330745.8 ($z_{em} = 0.645$) whose sightline passes through the SMC-like dwarf galaxy UGC 5282 ($M_B = -16.0$, $cz […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Zack Li, Sigurd Naess, Simone Aiola, David Alonso, John W. Appel | Summary: One of the most important checks for systematic errors in CMB studies is the cross correlation of maps made by independent experiments. In this paper we report on the cross correlation between maps from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Angela Olinto | First 5 Authors: Martin Elvis, Jon Arenberg, David Ballantyne, Mark Bautz, Charles Beichman | Summary: Astrophysics spans an enormous range of questions on scales from individual planets to the entire cosmos. To address the richness of 21st century astrophysics requires a corresponding richness of telescopes spanning all bands and all […]
Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang | First 5 Authors: Changjiang Liu, Vincent F. C. Humbert, Terence Bretz-Sullivan, Gensheng Wang, Deshun Hong | Summary: Amongst the rare-earth perovskite nickelates, LaNiO$_3$ (LNO) is an exception. While the former have insulating and antiferromagnetic ground states, LNO remains metallic and non-magnetic down to the lowest temperatures. It is believed that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey A. Harvey, , , , | Summary: Ramanujan influenced many areas of mathematics, but his work on q-series, on the growth of coefficients of modular forms, and on mock modular forms stands out for its depth and breadth of applications. I will give a brief […]
Kavli Affiliate: Karen Byrum | First 5 Authors: Kevork Abazajian, Graeme Addison, Peter Adshead, Zeeshan Ahmed, Steven W. Allen | Summary: We provide an overview of the science case, instrument configuration and project plan for the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment CMB-S4, for consideration by the 2020 Decadal Survey. | Search Query: ArXiv Query: […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , , , | Summary: I describe a modification to the original Fast Multipole Method (FMM) of Greengard & Rokhlin that approximates the gravitation field of an FMM cell as a small uniform grid (a "gridlet") of effective masses. The effective masses on a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bradford A. Benson | First 5 Authors: Zhaodi Pan, Mira Liu, Ritoban Basu Thakur, Bradford A. Benson, Dale J. Fixsen | Summary: We have constructed a Fourier-transform spectrometer (FTS) operating between 50 and 330 GHz with minimum volume (355 x260 x64 mm) and weight (13 lbs) while maximizing optical throughput (100 $mathrm{mm}^2$ sr) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luca Grandi | First 5 Authors: Daniel Ahlin, Boris Bauermeister, Jan Conrad, Robert Gardner, Luca Grandi | Summary: The XENON experiment is looking for non-baryonic particle dark matter in the universe. The setup is a dual phase time projection chamber (TPC) filled with 3200 kg of ultra-pure liquid xenon. The setup is operated […]
