Gravitational Production of Completely Dark Photons with Nonminimal Couplings to Gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Christian Capanelli, Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb, Evan McDonough, | Summary: Dark photons are a theorized massive spin-1 particle which can be produced via various mechanisms, including cosmological gravitational particle production (GPP) in the early universe. In this work, we extend previous results for GPP of […]

Probing ultrafast magnetization dynamics via synthetic axion fields

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Leon Shaposhnikov, Eduardo Barredo-Alamilla, Frank Wilczek, Maxim A. Gorlach, | Summary: Spatial structuring of materials at subwavelength scales underlies the concept of metamaterials possessing exotic properties beyond those of the constituent media. Temporal modulation of material parameters enables further functionalities. Here, we show that high-frequency oscillations of […]

Measurement of the energy dependence of the $e^+e^- to Bbar{B}$, $Bbar{B}{}^*$, and $B^*bar{B}{}^*$ cross sections at Belle~II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We report measurements of the $e^+e^- to Bbar{B}$, $Bbar{B}{}^*$, and $B^*bar{B}{}^*$ cross sections at four energies, 10653, 10701, 10746 and 10805 MeV, using data collected by the Belle~II experiment. We reconstruct one $B$ meson […]

Photometric detection at $7.7 μmathrm{m}$ of a galaxy beyond redshift $14$ with JWST/MIRI

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Jakob M. Helton, George H. Rieke, Stacey Alberts, Zihao Wu, Daniel J. Eisenstein | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has spectroscopically confirmed numerous galaxies at $z > 10$. While weak rest-ultraviolet emission lines have only been seen in a handful of sources, the stronger rest-optical […]
