Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Lizhou Sha, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang, David J. Armstrong, Rafael Brahm | Summary: Hot jupiters (P < 10 d, M > 60 $mathrm{M}_oplus$) are almost always found alone around their stars, but four out of hundreds known have inner companion planets. These rare companions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Brian Henning, Hitoshi Murayama, Francesco Riva, Jedidiah O. Thompson, Matthew T. Walters | Summary: We present a nonperturbative recipe for directly computing the $S$-matrix in strongly-coupled QFTs. The method makes use of spectral data obtained in a Hamiltonian framework and can be applied to a wide range […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kent Irwin | First 5 Authors: Phil Barbeau, Petra Merkel, Jinlong Zhang, Darin Acosta, Anthony A. Affolder | Summary: Detector instrumentation is at the heart of scientific discoveries. Cutting edge technologies enable US particle physics to play a leading role worldwide. This report summarizes the current status of instrumentation for High Energy Physics […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Assel, Yuji Tachikawa, Alessandro Tomasiello, , | Summary: We introduce a class of 3d theories consisting of strongly-coupled ${mathcal N}=4$ systems coupled to ${mathcal N}=3$ Chern-Simons gauge multiplets, which exhibit ${mathcal N}=4$ enhancements when a peculiar condition on the Chern-Simons levels is met. An example is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Christopher R. Mann, David Lafrenière, Diana Dragomir, Samuel N. Quinn, Thiam-Guan Tan | Summary: We present a successful validation of the long-period ($91.68278^{+0.00032}_{-0.00041}$ days) transiting sub-Neptune planet TOI-1221 b (TIC 349095149.01) around a Sun-like (m$_{rm V}$=10.5) star. We combine {it TESS} light curve measurements and ground-based time-series […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Tulika Bose, Antonio Boveia, Caterina Doglioni, Simone Pagan Griso, James Hirschauer | Summary: This is the Snowmass2021 Energy Frontier (EF) Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) report. It combines the EF topical group reports of EF08 (Model-specific explorations), EF09 (More general explorations), and EF10 (Dark Matter at Colliders). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Lucas F. Secco, Tanvi Karwal, Wayne Hu, Elisabeth Krause, | Summary: We explore a re-parameterization of the lensing amplitude tension between weak lensing (WL) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) data and its implications for a joint resolution with the Hubble tension. Specifically, we focus on the lensing […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew Vanderburg, Kevin B. Stevenson, Simon Blouin, Caroline Morley | Summary: We demonstrate that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can detect infrared (IR) excess from the blended light spectral energy distribution of spatially unresolved terrestrial exoplanets orbiting nearby white dwarfs. We find that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Vitor Cardoso, David Hilditch, Krinio Marouda, José Natário, Ulrich Sperhake | Summary: Stationary compact astrophysical objects such as black holes and neutron stars behave as classical systems from the gravitational point of view. Their (observable) curvature is everywhere "small". Here we investigate whether mergers of such objects, […]
