Earth as a transducer for dark-photon dark-matter detection

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Derek F. Jackson Kimball, Saarik Kalia, | Summary: We propose the use of the Earth as a transducer for ultralight dark-matter detection. In particular we point out a novel signal of kinetically mixed dark-photon dark matter: a monochromatic oscillating magnetic […]

Testing the SZ-based tomographic approach to the thermal history of the universe with pressure-density cross-correlations: Insights from the Magneticum simulation

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Sam Young, Eiichiro Komatsu, Klaus Dolag, , | Summary: The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect contains information about the thermal history of the universe, observable in maps of the Compton $y$ parameter; however, it does not contain information about the redshift of the sources. Recent papers have utilized a […]

Merging timescale for supermassive black hole binary in interacting galaxy NGC 6240

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Margarita Sobolenko, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem, , | Summary: One of the main possible way of creating the supermassive black hole (SMBH) is a so call hierarchical merging scenario. Central SMBHs at the final phase of interacting and coalescing host-galaxies are observed as SMBH binary (SMBHB) candidates […]

An application of a Si/CdTe Compton camera for the polarization measurement of hard x-rays from highly charged heavy ions

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Yutaka Tsuzuki, Shin Watanabe, Shimpei Oishi, Nobuyuki Nakamura, Naoki Numadate | Summary: The methods to measure the polarization of the x-rays from highly charged heavy ions with a significantly higher accuracy than the existing technology is needed to explore relativistic and quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects including the […]

Renormalization and non-renormalization of scalar EFTs at higher orders

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Weiguang Cao, Franz Herzog, Tom Melia, Jasper Roosmale Nepveu, | Summary: We renormalize massless scalar effective field theories (EFTs) to higher loop orders and higher orders in the EFT expansion. To facilitate EFT calculations with the R* renormalization method, we construct suitable operator bases using Hilbert series […]

Evolution of high-redshift quasar hosts and promotion of massive black hole seed formation

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Wenxiu Li, Kohei Inayoshi, Yu Qiu, , | Summary: High-redshift luminous quasars powered by accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with mass $gtrsim 10^9 M_odot$ constrain their formation pathways. We investigate the formation of heavy seeds of SMBHs through gas collapse in the quasar host progenitors, using merger […]

Beating the Lyth bound by parametric resonance during inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Yi-Fu Cai, Jie Jiang, Misao Sasaki, Valeri Vardanyan, Zihan Zhou | Summary: We propose a novel mechanism for enhancing the primordial gravitational waves without significantly affecting the curvature perturbations produced during inflation. This is achieved due to non-linear sourcing of resonantly amplified scalar field fluctuations. Our result […]
