Measurement of the integrated luminosity of data samples collected during 2019-2022 by the Belle II experiment

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: The Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, J. K. Ahn | Summary: A series of data samples was collected with the Belle~II detector at the SuperKEKB collider from March 2019 to June 2022. We determine the integrated luminosities of these data samples using three […]

Parity-Odd Power Spectra: Concise Statistics for Cosmological Parity Violation

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Drew Jamieson, Angelo Caravano, Jiamin Hou, Zachary Slepian, Eiichiro Komatsu | Summary: We introduce the Parity-Odd Power (POP) spectra, a novel set of observables for probing parity violation in cosmological $N$-point statistics. POP spectra are derived from composite fields obtained by applying nonlinear transformations, involving also gradients, […]

The neural correlates of logical-mathematical symbol systems processing resemble that of spatial cognition more than natural language processing

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yuannan Li, Shan Xu, Jia Liu, , | Summary: The ability to manipulate logical-mathematical symbols (LMS), encompassing tasks such as calculation, reasoning, and programming, is a cognitive skill arguably unique to humans. Considering the relatively recent emergence of this ability in human evolutionary history, it has been […]
