Demonstration of Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in $SO(N_c)$ Gauge Theories

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Csaba Csáki, Andrew Gomes, Hitoshi Murayama, Ofri Telem, | Summary: We demonstrate that $SO(N_{c})$ gauge theories with matter fields in the vector representation confine due to monopole condensation and break the $SU(N_{F})$ chiral symmetry to $SO(N_{F})$ via the quark bilinear. Our results are obtained by perturbing the […]

Divergences in gravitational-wave emission and absorption from extreme mass ratio binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Scott A. Hughes, Gaurav Khanna | Summary: A powerful technique to calculate gravitational radiation from binary systems involves a perturbative expansion: if the masses of the two bodies are very different, the "small" body is treated as a point particle […]

GRUMPY: a simple framework for realistic forward-modelling of dwarf galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, Viraj Manwadkar, , , | Summary: We present a simple regulator-type framework designed specifically for modelling formation of dwarf galaxies. We explore sensitivity of model predictions for the stellar mass–halo mass and stellar mass–metallicity relations to different modelling choices and parameter values. Despite its simplicity, […]

SENSEI: Characterization of Single-Electron Events Using a Skipper-CCD

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | First 5 Authors: Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana Botti, Mariano Cababie, Gustavo Cancelo | Summary: We use a science-grade Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) operating in a low-radiation background environment to develop a semi-empirical model that characterizes the origin of single-electron events in CCDs. We identify, separate, and quantify […]

Quantum Computing by Cooling

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Jiajin Feng, Biao Wu, Frank Wilczek, , | Summary: Interesting problems in quantum computation take the form of finding low-energy states of (pseudo)spin systems with engineered Hamiltonians that encode the problem data. Motivated by the practical possibility of producing very low-temperature spin systems, we propose and exemplify […]
