Measuring $μ$-Distortions from the Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: David Zegeye, Thomas Crawford, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: The thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (tSZ) effect is a spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) resulting from inverse Compton scattering of CMB photons with electrons in the medium of galaxy clusters. The spectrum of the tSZ effect is […]

A non-linear solution to the $S_8$ tension II: Analysis of DES Year 3 cosmic shear

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Calvin Preston, Alexandra Amon, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: Weak galaxy lensing surveys have consistently reported low values of the $S_8$ parameter compared to the $textit{Planck} Lambdarm{CDM}$ cosmology. Amon & Efstathiou (2022) used KiDS-1000 cosmic shear measurements to propose that this tension can be reconciled if the […]

Rescaling strange-cluster stars and its implications on gravitational-wave echoes

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Chen Zhang, Yong Gao, Cheng-Jun Xia, Renxin Xu, | Summary: Solid states of strange-cluster matter called strangeon matter can form strangeon stars that are highly compact. We show that strangeon matter and strangeon stars can be recast into dimensionless forms by a simple reparametrization and rescaling, through […]

Optimizing the Evolution of Perturbations in the $Λ$CDM Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Choustikov, Zvonimir Vlah, Anthony Challinor, , | Summary: Perturbation theory is a powerful tool for studying large-scale structure formation in the universe and calculating observables such as the power spectrum or bispectrum. However, beyond linear order, typically this is done by assuming a simplification in the […]

Extreme mass-ratio inspiral of a spinning body into a Kerr black hole I: Evolution along generic trajectories

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Lisa V. Drummond, Alexandra G. Hanselman, Devin R. Becker, Scott A. Hughes, | Summary: The study of spinning bodies moving in curved spacetime has relevance to binary black hole systems with large mass ratios, as well as being of formal interest. At zeroth order in a […]

Colloquium: Quantum and Classical Discrete Time Crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Michael P. Zaletel, Mikhail Lukin, Christopher Monroe, Chetan Nayak, Frank Wilczek | Summary: The spontaneous breaking of time translation symmetry has led to the discovery of a new phase of matter – the discrete time crystal. Discrete time crystals exhibit rigid subharmonic oscillations, which result from a […]

Dynamical structure factor and a new method to measure the pairing gap in two-dimensional attractive Fermi-Hubbard model

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Huaisong Zhao, Peng Zou, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: By calculating the dynamical structure factor along the high symmetry directions in the Brillouin zone, the dynamical excitations of attractive Fermi-Hubbard model in a two-dimensional square optical lattice are studied with random phase approximation. {Two kinds of collective […]

Exploring Ultralight Scalar Assistance in Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter: Cold Spectrum and Unusual X/Gamma-ray Signatures

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yuxuan He, Jia Liu, Xiaolin Ma, Xiao-Ping Wang, | Summary: We present a scalar-driven sterile neutrino production model where the interaction with the ultralight scalar field modifies the oscillation production of sterile neutrinos in the early universe. The model effectively suppresses the production of sterile neutrinos at […]

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed | Summary: We report a measurement of the $C!P$-violating parameters $A$ and $S$ in $B^{0}to K_{S}^{0} pi^{0}$ decays at Belle II using a sample of $387times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ events recorded in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at a center-of-mass […]
