Kavli Affiliate: R. Glenn Morris | First 5 Authors: Elise Darragh-Ford, Adam B. Mantz, Elena Rasia, Steven W. Allen, R. Glenn Morris | Summary: The relationship linking a galaxy cluster’s total mass with the concentration of its mass profile and its redshift is a fundamental prediction of the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm of cosmic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Adam Mantz | Summary:The relationship linking a galaxy cluster’s total mass with the concentration of its mass profile and its redshift is a fundamental prediction of the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm of cosmic structure formation. However, confronting those predictions with observations is complicated by the fact that simulated clusters are not representative […]
Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | Summary:We present a new analysis of previously published of SuperCDMS data using a profile likelihood framework to search for sub-GeV dark matter (DM) particles through two inelastic scattering channels: bremsstrahlung radiation and the Migdal effect. By considering these possible inelastic scattering channels, experimental sensitivity can be extended to DM […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | Summary:Understanding the acceleration of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays is one of the great challenges of contemporary astrophysics. In this short review, we summarize the general observational constraints on their composition, spectrum and isotropy which indicate that nuclei heavier than single protons dominate their spectra above $sim 5,rm EeV$, that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Sergey S. Tsygankov, Victor Doroshenko, Alexander A. Mushtukov, Juri Poutanen, Alessandro Di Marco | Summary: X-ray polarimetry is a unique way to probe the geometrical configuration of highly magnetized accreting neutron stars (X-ray pulsars). GRO J1008$-$57 is the first transient X-ray pulsar observed at two different flux […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. Glenn Morris | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Matthew Kaplan, Peter Orel, Kevan Donlon | Summary: The Single electron Sensitive Read Out (SiSeRO) is a novel on-chip charge detector output stage for charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors. Developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, this technology uses a p-MOSFET transistor with a […]
Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | Summary:A new mechanism has been proposed to simultaneously explain the presence of dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. This scenario predicts exotic $B$ meson decays into a baryon and a dark sector anti-baryon ($ψ_D$) with branching fractions accessible at $B$ factories. We present a search for […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | Summary:Solaris is a transformative Solar Polar Discovery-class mission concept to address crucial outstanding questions that can only be answered from a polar vantage. Solaris will image the Sun’s poles from ~75 degree latitude, providing new insight into the workings of the solar dynamo and the solar cycle, which are […]
