A Stress Induced Source of Phonon Bursts and Quasiparticle Poisoning

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Robin Anthony-Petersen, Andreas Biekert, Raymond Bunker, Clarence L. Chang, Yen-Yung Chang | Summary: The performance of superconducting qubits is degraded by a poorly characterized set of energy sources breaking the Cooper pairs responsible for superconductivity, creating a condition often called “quasiparticle poisoning". Both superconducting qubits and low […]

Thermal Testing for Cryogenic CMB Instrument Optical Design

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: D. C. Goldfinger, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri, D. Barkats | Summary: Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background rely on cryogenic instrumentation with cold detectors, readout, and optics providing the low noise performance and instrumental stability required to make more sensitive measurements. It is […]

Modeling Dust Production, Growth, and Destruction in Reionization-Era Galaxies with the CROC Simulations: Methods and Parameter Exploration

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Clarke J. Esmerian, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , , | Summary: We introduce a model for the explicit evolution of interstellar dust in a cosmological galaxy formation simulation. We post-process a simulation from the Cosmic Reionization on Computers project (CROC, Gnedin 2014), integrating an ordinary differential equation […]

Exploring $boldsymbol{2+2}$ Answers to $boldsymbol{3+1}$ Questions

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Jonathan J. Heckman, Austin Joyce, Jeremy Sakstein, Mark Trodden, | Summary: We explore potential uses of physics formulated in Kleinian (i.e., $2+2$) signature spacetimes as a tool for understanding properties of physics in Lorentzian (i.e., $3+1$) signature. Much as Euclidean (i.e., $4+0$) signature quantities can be used […]

The Host Galaxy and Rapidly Evolving Broad-line Region in the Changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES 1927+654

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Ruancun Li, Luis C. Ho, Claudio Ricci, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Iair Arcavi | Summary: Changing-look active galactic nuclei (AGNs) present an important laboratory to understand the origin and physical properties of the broad-line region (BLR). We investigate follow-up optical spectroscopy spanning $sim 500$ days after the outburst of […]

Monojet signatures from gluino and squark decays

Kavli Affiliate: Mihoko M. Nojiri | First 5 Authors: Iñaki Lara, Trygve Buanes, Rafał Masełek, Mihoko M. Nojiri, Krzysztof Rolbiecki | Summary: In this paper, we study the monojet and dijet channels at the LHC as a tool for searching for squarks and gluinos. We consider two separate scenarios. In the first scenario we postulate […]
