The Intrinsic Alignment of Galaxy Clusters and Impact of Projection Effects

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Jingjing Shi, Tomomi Sunayama, Toshiki Kurita, Masahiro Takada, Sunao Sugiyama | Summary: Galaxy clusters, being the most massive objects in the Universe, exhibit the strongest alignment with the large-scale structure. However, mis-identification of members due to projection effects from the large scale structure can occur. We studied […]

Cosmic birefringence tomography with polarized Sunyaev Zel’dovich effect

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Ippei Obata, , , | Summary: We consider the polarized Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (pSZ) effect for a tomographic probe of cosmic birefringence, including all relevant terms of the pSZ effect in the CMB observables, some of which were ignored in the previous works. The pSZ effect produces […]

Dark matter search with a strongly-coupled hybrid spin system

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Kai Wei, Zitong Xu, Yuxuan He, Xiaolin Ma, Xing Heng | Summary: Observational evidence suggests the existence of dark matter (DM), which comprises approximately $84.4%$ of matter in the universe. Recent advances in tabletop quantum sensor technology have enabled searches for nongravitational interactions of DM. Our experiment […]

Universal Asymptotics for High Energy CFT Data

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Nathan Benjamin, Jaeha Lee, Hirosi Ooguri, David Simmons-Duffin, | Summary: Equilibrium finite temperature observables of a CFT can be described by a local effective action for background fields — a "thermal effective action." This effective action determines the asymptotic density of states of a CFT as a […]
