Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Shaul Hanany, Scott Cray, Samuel Dietterich, Jan Dusing, Calvin Firth | Summary: We used laser ablation to fabricate sub-wavelength structure anti-reflection coating (SWS-ARC) on a 5 cm diameter alumina lens. With an aspect ratio of 2.5, the SWS-ARC are designed to give a broad-band low reflectance response […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Tengyu Ai, Qi Bi, Yuxin He, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang | Summary: We investigate whether collider experiments can reach the quantum limit of precision, defined by the quantum Fisher information (QFI), using only classical observables such as particle momenta. As a case study, we focus on the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Mayank Sharma, Gonzalo Herrera, Nahum Arav, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: We propose a new method to determine the dark matter density profile in the vicinity of distant supermassive black holes (SMBH) using reverberation mapping measurements of active galactic nuclei (AGN). For some AGN, the mapping of multiple […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Wenhan Yao, Fen Xiao, Xiarun Chen, Jia Liu, YongQiang He | Summary: As a foundational technology for intelligent human-computer interaction, voice conversion (VC) seeks to transform speech from any source timbre into any target timbre. Traditional voice conversion methods based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) encounter significant […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We measure the CP asymmetry in $D^+ to pi^+ pi^0$ decays reconstructed in $e^+ e^-$ collisions at the Belle II experiment using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 428 fb$^{-1}$. A […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Shigeki Matsumoto, Jie Sheng, Chuan-Yang Xing, Lin Zhu, | Summary: Light dark matter with sub-eV masses has a high number density in our galaxy, and its scattering cross section with macroscopic objects can be significantly enhanced by coherence effects. Repeated scattering with a target object can induce […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Yu Watanabe, Alexander Kusenko, Shigeki Matsumoto, , | Summary: We explore whether the unprecedented energy resolution of upcoming gamma-ray telescopes can uncover relativistic effects in photon spectra resulting from dark matter (DM) annihilation or decay near the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the Galactic Center (GC), specifically, […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Jeffery W. Martin, B. Algohi, D. Anthony, L. Barrón-Palos, M. Bradley | Summary: The TUCAN (TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron) Collaboration is completing a new ultracold neutron (UCN) source. The UCN source will deliver UCNs to a neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) experiment. The EDM experiment is projected […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Joe Davighi, Serah Moldovsky, Hitoshi Murayama, Christiane Scherb, Nudzeim Selimovic | Summary: We point out that a QCD-like dark sector can be coupled to the Standard Model by gauging the topological Skyrme current, which measures the dark baryon number in the infrared, to give a technically natural […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, H. Ahmed, Y. Ahn, H. Aihara | Summary: The Belle II experiment’s ability to identify particles critically affects the sensitivity of its measurements. We describe Belle II’s algorithms for identifying charged particles and evaluate their performance in separating pions, kaons, and protons […]
