Reacceleration of Galactic Cosmic Rays Beyond the Knee at the Termination Shock of a Cosmic-Ray-Driven Galactic Wind

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Payel Mukhopadhyay, Enrico Peretti, Noemie Globus, Paul Simeon, Roger Blandford | Summary: The origin of cosmic rays above the knee in the spectrum is an unsolved problem. We present a wind model in which interstellar gas flows along a non-rotating, expanding flux tube with a changing speed […]

Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter. A Whitepaper

Kavli Affiliate: Noah A. Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe, Javier F. Acevedo, Gabriela R. Araujo | Summary: Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors – nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the damage features are retained […]

Target Selection and Sample Characterization for the DESI LOW-Z Secondary Target Program

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Elise Darragh-Ford, John F. Wu, Yao-Yuan Mao, Risa H. Wechsler, Marla Geha | Summary: We introduce the DESI LOW-Z Secondary Target Survey, which combines the wide-area capabilities of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) with an efficient, low-redshift target selection method. Our selection consists of a […]

A Measurement of the CMB Temperature Power Spectrum and Constraints on Cosmology from the SPT-3G 2018 TT/TE/EE Data Set

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: L. Balkenhol, D. Dutcher, A. Spurio Mancini, A. Doussot, K. Benabed | Summary: We present a sample-variance-limited measurement of the temperature power spectrum ($TT$) of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using observations of a $sim! 1500 ,mathrm{deg}^2$ field made by SPT-3G in 2018. We report multifrequency power […]

Assessing the C/O Ratio Formation Diagnostic: A Potential Trend with Companion Mass

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Kielan K. W. Hoch, Quinn M. Konopacky, Christopher A. Theissen, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Travis S. Barman | Summary: The carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio in an exoplanet atmosphere has been suggested as a potential diagnostic of planet formation. Now that a number of exoplanets have measured C/O ratios, it is […]

Dual electro-optic frequency comb photonic thermometry

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Adam J. Fleisher, Zeeshan Ahmed, Tobias Herman, Matthew R. Hartings, | Summary: We report a precision realization of photonic thermometry using dual-comb spectroscopy to interrogate a $pi$-phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating. We achieve read-out stability of 7.5 mK at 1 s and resolve temperature changes of similar magnitude–sufficient […]
