Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | First 5 Authors: D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, D. Yu. Akimov, A. Alquahtani, S. K. Alsum | Summary: LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a second-generation direct dark matter experiment with spin-independent WIMP-nucleon scattering sensitivity above $1.4 times 10^{-48}$ cm$^{2}$ for a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/c$^{2}$ and a 1000 d […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen, R. Glenn Morris, Rebecca E. A. Canning, Matthew Bayliss | Summary: We present results from a 577 ks XMM-Newton observation of SPT-CL J0459-4947, the most distant cluster detected in the South Pole Telescope 2500 square degree (SPT-SZ) survey, and currently […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Yohai Meiron, Jeremy J. Webb, Jongsuk Hong, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Massive globular clusters lose stars via internal and external processes. Internal processes include mainly two-body relaxation, while external processes include interactions with the Galactic tidal field. We perform a suite of N-body simulations of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Craig J. Hogan | First 5 Authors: Zimu Khakhaleva-Li, Craig J. Hogan, , , | Summary: Rapid advancement in the observation of cosmic strings has been made in recent years placing increasingly stringent constraints on their properties, with $Gmulesssim 10^{-11}$ from Pulsar Timing Array (PTA). Cosmic string loops with low string tension clump […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny V. Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Yevgeny V. Stadnik, , , , | Summary: We point out that in models of macroscopic topological defects composed of one or more scalar fields that interact with standard-model fields via scalar-type couplings, the back-action of ambient matter on the scalar field(s) produces an environmental dependence […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Íñigo Zubeldia, Anthony Challinor, , , | Summary: CMB lensing is a promising, novel way to measure galaxy cluster masses that can be used, e.g., for mass calibration in galaxy cluster counts analyses. Understanding the statistics of the galaxy cluster mass observable obtained with such measurements is […]
Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | First 5 Authors: SuperCDMS Collaboration, D. W. Amaral, T. Aralis, T. Aramaki, I. J. Arnquist | Summary: This article presents an analysis and the resulting limits on light dark matter inelastically scattering off of electrons, and on dark photon and axion-like particle absorption, using a second-generation SuperCDMS high-voltage eV-resolution […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Martijn de Vries, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: We report on new X-ray and optical observations of PSR J2030+4415, a Gamma-ray Pulsar with an H$alpha$ bow shock. These data reveal the velocity structure of the bow shock apex and resolve unusual X-ray structure in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Hongye Yu, Frank Wilczek, Biao Wu, , | Summary: We present a quantum algorithm for approximating maximum independent sets of a graph based on quantum non-Abelian adiabatic mixing in the sub-Hilbert space of degenerate ground states, which generates quantum annealing in a secondary Hamiltonian. For both sparse […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Chuneeta D. Nunhokee, Aaron R. Parsons, Nicholas S. Kern, Bojan Nikolic, Jonathan C. Pober | Summary: The central challenge in 21~cm cosmology is isolating the cosmological signal from bright foregrounds. Many separation techniques rely on the accurate knowledge of the sky and the instrumental response, including […]
