Diffuse Boosted Cosmic Neutrino Background

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Gonzalo Herrera, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Xiaolin Qi, , | Summary: Energetic cosmic rays scatter off the cosmic neutrino background throughout the history of the Universe, yielding a diffuse flux of cosmic relic neutrinos boosted to high energies. We calculate this flux under different assumptions of the cosmic-ray flux […]

Test of light-lepton universality in $τ$ decays with the Belle II experiment

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal, H. Aihara | Summary: We present a measurement of the ratio $R_mu = mathcal{B}(tau^-to mu^-barnu_munu_tau) / mathcal{B}(tau^-to e^-barnu_enu_tau)$ of branching fractions $mathcal{B}$ of the $tau$ lepton decaying to muons or electrons using data collected with the Belle II […]

The Significance of Void Shape: Neutrino Mass from Voronoi Void-Halos?

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Adrian E. Bayer, Jia Liu, Christina D. Kreisch, Alice Pisani, | Summary: Massive neutrinos suppress the growth of cosmic structure on nonlinear scales, motivating the use of information beyond the power spectrum to tighten constraints on the neutrino mass, for example by considering cosmic voids. It was […]
