Characterization of the Host Binary of the Directly Imaged Exoplanet HD 143811 AB b

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | Summary:HD~143811~AB is the host star to the directly imaged planet HD~143811~AB~b, which was recently discovered using data from the Gemini Planet Imager and Keck NIRC2. A member of the Sco-Cen star-forming region with an age of $13 pm 4$ Myr, HD~143811~AB is somewhat rare among hosts of directly imaged planets […]

Upgrades of the ATLAS Zero Degree Calorimeter System for Run 3 at the Large Hadron Collider

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Lantz| First 5 Authors: Giulio Avoni, Giulio Avoni, , , | Summary:Experimental studies of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) depend crucially on Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDCs) that measure neutrons produced at near-beam rapidity in nucleus-nucleus collisions. In hadronic nuclear collisions these neutrons are mainly spectator neutrons, those […]

A carbon-rich atmosphere on a windy pulsar planet

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Michael Zhang, Michael Zhang, , , | Summary: A handful of enigmatic Jupiter-mass objects have been discovered orbiting pulsars. One such object, PSR J2322-2650b, uniquely resembles a hot Jupiter exoplanet due to its minimum density of 1.8 g/cm^3 and its ~1900 K equilibrium temperature. We use […]

Search for low-mass electron-recoil dark matter using a single-charge sensitive SuperCDMS-HVeV Detector

Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | Summary:We present constraints on low mass dark matter-electron scattering and absorption interactions using a SuperCDMS high-voltage eV-resolution (HVeV) detector. Data were taken underground in the NEXUS facility located at Fermilab with an overburden of 225 meters of water equivalent. The experiment benefits from the minimizing of luminescence from the […]

Coupling of a nuclear transition to a Surface Acoustic Wave

Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | Summary:Mechanical modulation of recoilless nuclear transitions allows the dynamic control of γ-ray emission and absorption. Accessing modulation frequencies well above the nuclear linewidth enables coherent manipulation of the nuclear response. Here we demonstrate such control by coupling a film of enriched 57Fe to a 97.9 MHz surface acoustic wave, which […]

Coupling of a Nuclear Transition to a Surface Acoustic Wave

Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | Summary:Mechanical modulation of recoilless nuclear transitions allows the dynamic control of $γ$-ray emission and absorption. Accessing modulation frequencies well above the nuclear linewidth enables coherent manipulation of the nuclear response. Here we demonstrate high frequency control via efficient coupling a film of enriched $^57$Fe to a $97.9~mathrmMHz$ surface acoustic wave, […]
