Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | Summary:Microscopic devices are widely used in optomechanical experiments at the cutting-edge of precision experimental physics. Such devices often need to have high electrical conductivity but low reflectivity at optical wavelengths, which can be competing requirements for many commonly available coatings. In this manuscript, we present a technique to electroplate platinum […]

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | Summary:We provide a comprehensive comparison of linear amplifiers and microwave photon-counters in axion dark matter experiments. The study is done assuming a range of realistic operating conditions and detector parameters, over the frequency range between 1–30 GHz. As expected, photon counters are found to be advantageous under low background, at […]

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: John Banovetz, Yousuke Utsumi, Joshua Meyers, Maya Beleznay, Andrew Rasmussen | Summary: During electro-optical testing of the camera for the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time, a unique low-signal pattern was found in differenced pairs of flat images used to create photon […]

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | Summary:During electro-optical testing of the camera for the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time, a unique low-signal pattern was found in differenced pairs of flat images used to create photon transfer curves, with peak-to-peak variations of a factor of 10^-3. A turbulent pattern of this […]

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Brandon Shane, Blakesley Burkhart, Laura Fissel, Susan E. Clark, Philip Mocz | Summary: The characterization of magnetic fields within molecular clouds is fundamental to understanding star formation processes. Accurately gauging the three-dimensional structure of these fields presents a challenge, as observational techniques such as dust polarization […]

Kavli Affiliate: Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta (IMEX-RK) time discretization methods are very popular when solving stiff kinetic equations. In [21], an asymptotic analysis shows that a specific class of high-order IMEX-RK schemes can accurately capture the Navier-Stokes limit without needing to resolve the small scales dictated […]

Marshall | Summary: Time delays in both galaxy- and cluster-scale strong gravitational lenses have recently attracted a lot of attention in the context of the Hubble tension. Future wide-field cadenced surveys, such as the LSST, […]
