Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Sinéad M. Griffin, Yonit Hochberg, Katherine Inzani, Noah Kurinsky, Tongyan Lin | Summary: We propose the use of silicon carbide (SiC) for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter. SiC has properties similar to both silicon and diamond, but has two key advantages: (i) it is a polar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Uwe Niedermayer, Dylan S. Black, Kenneth J. Leedle, Yu Miao, Robert L. Byer | Summary: We demonstrate a compact technique to compress electron pulses to attosecond length, while keeping the energy spread reasonably small. The technique is based on Dielectric Laser Acceleration (DLA) in nanophotonic silicon […]
Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Hung-Jin Huang, Tim Eifler, Rachel Mandelbaum, Gary M. Bernstein, Anqi Chen | Summary: Measurements of large-scale structure are interpreted using theoretical predictions for the matter distribution, including potential impacts of baryonic physics. We constrain the feedback strength of baryons jointly with cosmology using weak lensing and galaxy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Arka Banerjee, Tom Abel, , , | Summary: The use of summary statistics beyond the two-point correlation function to analyze the non-Gaussian clustering on small scales is an active field of research in cosmology. In this paper, we explore a set of new summary statistics — the […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Chiang | First 5 Authors: James Chiang, , , , | Summary: Smart contracting protocols promise to regulate the transfer of cryptocurrency amongst participants in a trustless manner. A safe smart contract implementation should ensure that each participant can always append a contract transaction to the blockchain in order move the contract […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dale Li Authors: Steve K. Choi, Matthew Hasselfield, Shuay-Pwu Patty Ho, Brian Koopman, Marius Lungu, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Graeme E. Addison, Peter A. R. Ade, Simone Aiola, David Alonso —- Summary: We present the temperature and polarization angular power spectra of the CMB measured by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) from 5400 deg$^2$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Henderson | First 5 Authors: Simone Aiola, Erminia Calabrese, Loïc Maurin, Sigurd Naess, Benjamin L. Schmitt | Summary: We present new arcminute-resolution maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background temperature and polarization anisotropy from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, using data taken from 2013-2016 at 98 and 150 GHz. The maps cover more than […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Catherine E. Fielder, Yao-Yuan Mao, Andrew R. Zentner, Jeffrey A. Newman, Hao-Yi Wu | Summary: Cold dark matter haloes consist of a relatively smooth dark matter component as well as a system of bound subhaloes. It is the prevailing practice to include all halo mass, including mass […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Ji Wang, Jason Wang, Bo Ma, Jeffrey Chilcote, Steve Ertel | Summary: Comparing chemical abundances of a planet and the host star reveals the origin and formation path. Stellar abundance is measured with high-resolution spectroscopy. Planet abundance, on the other hand, is usually inferred from low-resolution data. […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | First 5 Authors: J. Todd Hoeksema, William P. Abbett, David J. Bercik, Mark C. M. Cheung, Marc L. DeRosa | Summary: The Coronal Global Evolutionary Model (CGEM) provides data-driven simulations of the magnetic field in the solar corona to better understand the build-up of magnetic energy that leads to […]
