Kavli Affiliate: Masaki Yamashita | Summary:The idea of a hermetic quartz chamber in a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) has the potential to improve the detector sensitivity for direct dark matter searches in the future. A major challenge facing TPC detectors in future dark matter experiments will be the reduction of the internal background […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | Summary:Fano orbifold lines are classified by the Dynkin diagrams of type $A,D,$ and $E$. It is known that the corresponding total descendant potential is a tau-function of an appropriate Kac–Wakimoto hierarchy. It is also known that in the A-case the Kac–Wakimoto hierarchies admit an extension and that the total descendant […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | Summary:In a companion paper to this one, we proved that the Gromov–Witten theory of a Fano orbifold line of type $D$ is governed by a system of Hirota Bilinear Equations. The goal of this paper is to prove that every solution to the Hirota Bilinear Equations determines a solution to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoshi Sugiyama | Summary:We report the discovery of 28 quasars and 7 luminous galaxies at 5.7 $le$ z $le$ 7.0. This is the tenth in a series of papers from the Subaru High-z Exploration of Low-Luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs) project, which exploits the deep multi-band imaging data produced by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru […]
Kavli Affiliate: Takaaki Kajita | Summary:Detuning the signal-recycling cavity length from a cavity resonance significantly improves the quantum noise beyond the standard quantum limit, while there is no km-scale gravitational-wave detector successfully implemented the technique. The detuning technique is known to introduce great excess noise, and such noise can be reduced by a laser modulation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiaki Hikage | Summary:Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) power spectrum is a powerful probe of the present-day amplitude of matter density fluctuations, and has been measured up to $ellapprox 10^3$ from the it Planck data. The largest systematic uncertainty in the interpretation of this data is the so-called "mass bias" parameter $B$, which relates the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiroaki Aihara | Summary:This paper presents the second data release of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program, a wide-field optical imaging survey on the 8.2 meter Subaru Telescope. The release includes data from 174 nights of observation through January 2018. The Wide layer data cover about 300 deg^2 in all five broadband filters […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoshi Sugiyama | Summary:We report the weak lensing measurement of filaments between Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) III/Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS galaxy pairs at $zsim0.55$, using the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) first-year galaxy shape catalogue. Despite of the small overlap of $140$ deg$^2$ between these surveys we detect the filament lensing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoshi Sugiyama | Summary:Neutral hydrogen (H$_rm I$) intensity mapping is capable of measuring redshift evolution of H$_rm I$ density parameter $Ω_rm H_rm I$, which is an important parameter to understand structure formation in the post-reionization epoch. Future H$_rm I$ observation with Square Kilometre Array (SKA) can significantly improve constraints on the parameter. However, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiroaki Aihara | Summary:We present the first measurement of cross-correlation between the lensing potential, reconstructed from cosmic microwave background (CMB) it polarization data, and the cosmic shear field from galaxy shapes. This measurement is made using data from the POLARBEAR CMB experiment and the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey. By analyzing an 11~deg$^2$ […]
