Kavli Affiliate: Mark Hartz | First 5 Authors: Yoshi Uchida, Mark Hartz, R. Phillip Litchfield, Callum Wilkinson, Asher Kaboth | Summary: The presentations, discussions and findings from the inaugural `PhyStat-$nu$’ workshop held at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU) near Tokyo in 2016 are described. PhyStat-$nu$ was the first […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul Brink | First 5 Authors: Robert Agnese, Taylor Aralis, Tsuguo Aramaki, Isaac Arnquist, Elham Azadbakht | Summary: The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory studied energy loss associated with Frenkel defect formation in germanium crystals at mK temperatures using in situ $^{210}$Pb sources. We examine the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | First 5 Authors: Richard Hills, Girish Kulkarni, P. Daniel Meerburg, Ewald Puchwein, | Summary: It is predicted that the spectrum of radio emission from the whole sky should show a dip arising from the action of the light from the first stars on the hydrogen atoms in the surrounding gas, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Yasunori Nomura, Pratik Rath, Nico Salzetta, , | Summary: Motivated by the ability to consistently apply the Ryu-Takayanagi prescription for general convex surfaces and the relationship between entanglement and geometry in tensor networks, we introduce a novel, covariant bulk object – the holographic slice. The holographic slice […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip H. Scherrer | First 5 Authors: M. Cristina Rabello-Soares, Richard S. Bogart, Philip H. Scherrer, , | Summary: We analyze the effect of a sunspot in its quiet surroundings applying a helioseismic technique on almost three years of Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) observations obtained during solar cycle 24 to further study […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alastair Murray, Stuart Marshall, Leroy Cronin, , | Summary: How do we estimate the probability of an abundant objects’ formation, with minimal context or assumption about is origin? To explore this we have previously introduced the concept of pathway assembly (as pathway complexity), in a graph based […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip H. Scherrer | First 5 Authors: J. Todd Hoeksema, Charles S. Baldner, Rock I. Bush, Jesper Schou, Philip H. Scherrer | Summary: The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument is a major component of NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft. Since beginning normal science operations on 1 May 2010, HMI has operated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | First 5 Authors: Michael Finkelberg, Mikhail Kapranov, Vadim Schechtman, , | Summary: We consider the category of perverse sheaves on a complex vector space smooth with respect to a stratification given by an arrangement of hyperplanes with real equations. As shown in an earlier wotk of two of the authors, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maria T. Zuber | First 5 Authors: Christopher E. Carr, Noelle C. Bryan, Kendall N. Saboda, Srinivasa A. Bhattaru, Gary Ruvkun | Summary: Parabolic flights provide cost-effective, time-limited access to "weightless" or reduced gravity conditions experienced in space or on planetary surfaces, e.g. the Moon or Mars. These flights facilitate fundamental research – […]
