Affleck-Dine leptogenesis scenario for resonant production of sterile neutrino dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Kasai, Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, , | Summary: Sterile neutrino is a fascinating candidate for dark matter. In this paper, we examine the Affleck-Dine (AD) leptogenesis scenario generating a large lepton asymmetry, which can induce the resonant production of sterile neutrino dark matter via the Shi-Fuller […]

The Simons Observatory: Development and Optical Evaluation of Achromatic Half-Wave Plates

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Junna Sugiyama, Tomoki Terasaki, Kana Sakaguri, Bryce Bixler, Yuki Sakurai | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO) experiment is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment located in the Atacama Desert, Chile. The SO’ s small aperture telescopes (SATs) consist of three telescopes designed for precise CMB polarimetry at […]

Constraining neutrino-DM interactions with Milky Way dwarf spheroidals and supernova neutrinos

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Sean Heston, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Satoshi Shirai, , | Summary: We constrain the neutrino-dark matter cross section using properties of the dark matter density profiles of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The constraint arises from core-collapse supernova neutrinos scattering on dark matter as a form of energy injection, […]

Robust inference of the Galactic centre gamma-ray excess spatial properties

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Deheng Song, Christopher Eckner, Chris Gordon, Francesca Calore, Oscar Macias | Summary: The gamma-ray Fermi-LAT Galactic centre excess (GCE) has puzzled scientists for over 15 years. Despite ongoing debates about its properties, and especially its spatial distribution, its nature remains elusive. We scrutinize how the estimated spatial […]

A short proof for Rankin–Cohen brackets and generating operators

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, Michael Pevzner, , , | Summary: Motivated by the concept of lqlq{generating operators}rqrq for a countable family of operators introduced in the recent paper (arXiv:2306.16800), we find a method to reconstruct the Rankin–Cohen brackets from a very simple multivariable contour integral, and obtain a new […]

A short proof for Rankin–Cohen brackets and generating operators

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, Michael Pevzner, , , | Summary: Motivated by the concept of "generating operators" for a countable family of operators introduced in the recent paper (arXiv:2306.16800), we find a method to reconstruct the Rankin–Cohen brackets from a very simple multivariable contour integral, and obtain a new […]

Measurement of $CP$ asymmetries in $B^0toη’K^0_s$ decays at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We describe a measurement of charge-parity ($CP$) violation asymmetries in $B^0toeta’K^0_S$ decays using Belle II data. We consider $eta’toeta(togammagamma)pi^+pi^-$ and $eta’torho(topi^+pi^-)gamma$ decays. The data were collected at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider between the […]

Near-IR clumps and their properties in high-z galaxies with JWST/NIRCam

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Boris S. Kalita, John D. Silverman, Emanuele Daddi, Wilfried Mercier, Luis C. Ho | Summary: Resolved stellar morphology of z>1 galaxies was inaccessible before JWST. This limitation, due to the impact of dust on rest-frame UV light, had withheld major observational conclusions required to understand the […]
