Cosmogenic production of $^{37}$Ar in the context of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment

Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra, T. A. Shutt, Daniel S. Akerib | First 5 Authors: J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder, S. K. Alsum | Summary: We estimate the amount of $^{37}$Ar produced in natural xenon via cosmic ray-induced spallation, an inevitable consequence of the transportation and storage of xenon […]

Sensitivity of the Roman Coronagraph Instrument to Exozodiacal Dust

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Ewan S Douglas, John Debes, Bertrand Mennesson, Bijan Nemati, Jaren Ashcraft | Summary: Exozodiacal dust, warm debris from comets and asteroids in and near the habitable zone of stellar systems, reveals the physical processes that shape planetary systems. Scattered light from this dust is also a source […]

Asteroids for microhertz gravitational-wave detection

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Surjeet Rajendran, , | Summary: A major challenge for gravitational-wave (GW) detection in the $mu$Hz band is engineering a test mass (TM) with sufficiently low acceleration noise. We propose a GW detection concept using asteroids located in the inner Solar […]

Covariance matrices for variance-suppressed simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Tony Zhang, Chia-Hsun Chuang, Risa H. Wechsler, Shadab Alam, Joseph DeRose | Summary: Cosmological $N$-body simulations provide numerical predictions of the structure of the universe against which to compare data from ongoing and future surveys. The growing volume of the surveyed universe, however, requires increasingly large […]

A background-free optically levitated charge sensor

Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Nadav Priel, Alexander Fieguth, Charles P. Blakemore, Emmett Hough, Akio Kawasaki | Summary: Optically levitated macroscopic objects are a powerful tool in the field of force sensing, owing to high sensitivity, absolute force calibration, environmental isolation and the advanced degree of control over their dynamics that have […]
