Small Instanton Effects on Composite Axion Mass

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Takafumi Aoki, Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe, | Summary: This paper investigates the impact of small instanton effects on the axion mass in the composite accidental axion (CAA) models. These models are designed to address the axion quality problem, where QCD gauge symmetry is embedded as […]

The Gravitational Lensing Imprints of DES Y3 Superstructures on the CMB: A Matched Filtering Approach

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Umut Demirbozan, Seshadri Nadathur, Ismael Ferrero, Pablo Fosalba, Andras Kovacs | Summary: $ $Low density cosmic voids gravitationally lens the cosmic microwave background (CMB), leaving a negative imprint on the CMB convergence $kappa$. This effect provides insight into the distribution of matter within voids, and can also […]

Reconstructing the matter power spectrum with future cosmic shear surveys

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Calvin Preston, Alexandra Amon, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: Analyses of cosmic shear typically condense weak lensing information over a range of scales to a single cosmological parameter, $S_8$. This paper presents a method to extract more information from Stage-IV cosmic shear measurements by directly reconstructing the […]

Current laboratory performance of starlight suppression systems, and potential pathways to desired Habitable Worlds Observatory exoplanet science capabilities

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Bertrand Mennesson, Ruslan Belikov, Emiel Por, Eugene Serabyn, Garreth Ruane | Summary: We summarize the current best polychromatic (10 to 20 % bandwidth) contrast performance demonstrated in the laboratory by different starlight suppression approaches and systems designed to directly characterize exoplanets around nearby stars. We present results […]
