Kavli Affiliate: Andrey V. Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey V. Kravtsov, , , , | Summary: I review recent progress in understanding and modeling galaxy clustering in cosmological simulations, with emphasis on models based on high-resolution dissipationless simulations. During the last decade, significant advances in our understanding of abundance and clustering of dark matter […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan Rosner | First 5 Authors: Jonathan L. Rosner, , , , | Summary: New results on hadron spectra have been appearing in abundance in the past few years as a result of improved experimental techniques. These include information on states made of both light quarks (u, d, and s) and with one […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann | First 5 Authors: Katrin Heitmann, David Higdon, Charles Nakhleh, Salman Habib, | Summary: The complexity and accuracy of current and future precision cosmology observational campaigns has made it essential to develop an efficient technique for directly combining simulation and observational datasets to determine cosmological and model parameters; a procedure we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Craig J. Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig J. Hogan, , , , | Summary: The mean spectrum and burst statistics of gravitational waves produced by a cosmological population of cosmic string loops are estimated using analytic approximations, calibrated with earlier simulations. Formulas are derived showing the dependence of observables on the string […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark SubbaRao | First 5 Authors: David Bazell, David J. Miller, Mark SubbaRao, , | Summary: We analyze a portion of the SDSS photometric catalog, consisting of approximately 10,000 objects that have been spectroscopically classified into stars, galaxies, QSOs, late-type stars and unknown objects (spectroscopically unclassified objects, SUOs), in order to investigate the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Wald | First 5 Authors: Robert M. Wald, , , , | Summary: This Resource Letter provides some guidance on issues that arise in teaching general relativity at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Particular emphasis is placed on strategies for presenting the mathematical material needed for the formulation of general relativity. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang | First 5 Authors: CDMS Collaboration, , , , | Summary: The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS-II) employs low-temperature Ge and Si detectors to seek Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) via their elastic scattering interactions with nuclei. Simultaneous measurements of both ionization and phonon energy provide discrimination against interactions of background […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luca Grandi | First 5 Authors: R. Brunetti, E. Calligarich, M. Cambiaghi, F. Carbonara, F. Cavanna | Summary: The WARP programme for dark matter search with a double phase argon detector is presented. In such a detector both excitation and ionization produced by an impinging particle are evaluated by the contemporary measurement of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy Freedman | First 5 Authors: Wendy L. Freedman, , , , | Summary: The Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) is aimed at providing an independent measure of change in the the Hubble expansion as a function of redshift, and setting constraints dark energy contribution to the total energy content of the universe. Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Michael D. Gladders, Howard K. C. Yee, , , | Summary: The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a $sim$100 square degree, two-filter imaging survey in the $R_C$ and $z’$ filters, designed primarily to locate and characterise galaxy clusters to redshifts as high as $z=1.4$. This paper provides […]
