Interpretations of the cosmic ray secondary-to-primary ratios measured by DAMPE

Kavli Affiliate: Igor V. Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Peng-Xiong Ma, Zhi-Hui Xu, Qiang Yuan, Xiao-Jun Bi, Yi-Zhong Fan | Summary: Precise measurements of the boron-to-carbon and boron-to-oxygen ratios by DAMPE show clear hardenings around $100$ GeV/n, which provide important implications on the production, propagation, and interaction of Galactic cosmic rays. In this work we […]

Toroidal flux loss due to flux emergence explains why solar cycles rise differently but decay in a similar way

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Akash Biswas, Bidya Binay Karak, Robert Cameron, , | Summary: A striking feature of the solar cycle is that at the beginning, sunspots appear around mid-latitudes, and over time the latitudes of emergences migrate towards the equator.The maximum level of activity (e.g., sunspot number) varies from cycle […]

Improved Dark Matter Search Sensitivity Resulting from LUX Low-Energy Nuclear Recoil Calibration

Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | First 5 Authors: LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai | Summary: Dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) detectors have demonstrated superior search sensitivities to dark matter over a wide range of particle masses. To extend their sensitivity to include low-mass dark matter interactions, […]

Testing the mean field theory of scalar field dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Andrew Eberhardt, Alvaro Zamora, Michael Kopp, Tom Abel, | Summary: Scalar field dark matter offers an interesting alternative to the traditional WIMP dark matter picture. Astrophysical and cosmological simulations are useful to constraining the mass of the dark matter particle in this model. This is particularly true […]

BICEP / Keck XVI: Characterizing Dust Polarization through Correlations with Neutral Hydrogen

Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: BICEP/Keck Collaboration, :, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri | Summary: We characterize Galactic dust filaments by correlating BICEP/Keck and Planck data with polarization templates based on neutral hydrogen (H I) observations. Dust polarization is important for both our understanding of astrophysical processes in […]
