Kavli Affiliate: Richard Partridge | First 5 Authors: Jonathan S. Wilson, Hanno Meyer zu Theenhausen, Belina von Krosigk, Elham Azadbakht, Ray Bunker | Summary: The SuperCDMS SNOLAB dark matter search experiment aims to be sensitive to energy depositions down to O(1 eV). This imposes requirements on the resolution, signal efficiency, and noise rejection of the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Angelo Caravano, Eiichiro Komatsu, Kaloian D. Lozanov, Jochen Weller, | Summary: If gauge fields are coupled to an axion field during inflation, they lead to unique observational signatures within the reach of next generation experiments. However, this system often shows strong backreaction effects, invalidating the standard perturbation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Angelo Caravano, Eiichiro Komatsu, Kaloian D. Lozanov, Jochen Weller, | Summary: We present the first nonlinear lattice simulation of an axion field coupled to a U(1) gauge field during inflation. We use it to fully characterize the statistics of the primordial curvature perturbation {zeta}. We find high-order […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yutao Zhou, Chun Wang, Hongliang Yan, Yang Huang, Bo Zhang | Summary: The puzzle of Li-rich giant is still unsolved, contradicting the prediction of the standard stellar models. Although the exact evolutionary stages play a key role in the knowledge of Li-rich giants, a limited number of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Haojie Hu, Kohei Inayoshi, Zoltán Haiman, Wenxiu Li, Eliot Quataert | Summary: Observations of the most luminous quasars at high redshifts ($z > 6$) have revealed that the largest supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at those epochs tend to be substantially overmassive relative to their host galaxies compared […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Giulia Despali, Levi G. Walls, Simona Vegetti, Martin Sparre, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: We study the effect of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) and baryons on the shapes of early-type galaxies (ETGs) and their dark matter haloes, comparing them to the predictions of the standard cold dark matter […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: So Chigusa, Masahito Yamazaki, , , | Summary: We consider dark sector scenarios where dark matter is accompanied by a dark photon and multiple-flavor dark fermions charged under the dark gauge group. We study quantum interference effects in dark sector jets, where multiple dark photons are emitted […]
