Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration: F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal, P. Ahlburg | Summary: We present a measurement of the branching fractions of four $B^{0,-}to D^{(*)+,0} K^- K^{0}_S$ decay modes. The measurement is based on data from SuperKEKB electron-positron collisions at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance collected with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Guillem Domènech, Derek Inman, Alexander Kusenko, Misao Sasaki | Summary: If long-range attractive forces exist and are stronger than gravity then cosmic halo formation can begin in the radiation-dominated era. We study a simple realization of this effect in a system where dark matter fermions have Yukawa […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: Fast variability of the X-ray corona in black hole binaries can produce a soft lag by reverberation, where the reprocessed thermalized disc photons lag behind the illuminating hard X-rays. This lag is small, and systematically decreases with increasing mass accretion […]

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: Core-collapse supernovae are a useful laboratory to probe the nature of exotic particles. If axionlike particles (ALPs) are produced in supernovae, they can affect the transfer of energy and leave traces in observational signatures. In this work, we develop two-dimensional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Blake D. Sherwin | Summary: We propose a new probe of inflationary gravitational waves (IGWs): the cross-correlation of the lensing of inflationary $B$-mode polarization with a large-scale structure (LSS) tracer, which can also be a CMB lensing map. This is equivalent to measuring a three-point […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Naomi Clare Robertson, Cristóbal Sifón, Marika Asgari, Nicholas Battaglia, Maciej Bilicki | Summary: We present weak gravitational lensing measurements of a sample of 157 clusters within the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS), detected with a $>5sigma$ thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) signal by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Tsutomu T. Yanagida | Summary: When we impose the discrete symmetry in the standard model we have Dai-Freed global anomalies. However, interestingly if we introduce three right-handed neutrinos we can have an anomaly-free discrete $Z_4$ gauge symmetry. This $Z_4$ symmetry should be spontaneously broken down […]

We introduce a subsystem $mathbb Z_2$-gauging procedure, called the subsystem Kramers-Wannier transformation, which generalizes the ordinary Kramers-Wannier transformation. The corresponding duality operators and defects are constructed by […]
