New constraint on the tensor-to-scalar ratio from the $Planck$ and BICEP/Keck Array data using the profile likelihood

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Paolo Campeti, Eiichiro Komatsu, , , | Summary: We derive a new upper bound on the tensor-to-scalar ratio parameter $r$ using the frequentist profile likelihood method. We vary all the relevant cosmological parameters of the $Lambda$CDM model, as well as the nuisance parameters. Unlike the Bayesian analysis […]

Concordance between observations and simulations in the evolution of the mass relation between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman, Tommaso Treu, Junyao Li, Aklant K. Bhowmick | Summary: We carry out a comparative analysis of the relation between the mass of supermassive black holes (BHs) and the stellar mass of their host galaxies at $0.2<z<1.7$ using well-matched observations and multiple […]

On the faintest solar coronal hard X-rays observed with FOXSI

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Juan Camilo Buitrago-Casas, Lindsay Glesener, Steven Christe, Säm Krucker, Juliana Vievering | Summary: Solar nanoflares are small eruptive events releasing magnetic energy in the quiet corona. If nanoflares follow the same physics as their larger counterparts, they should emit hard X-rays (HXRs) but with a rather faint […]

More on Fake GUT

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Motoo Suzuki, Keiichi Watanabe, Tsutomu T. Yanagida | Summary: It is remarkable that the matter fields in the Standard Model (SM) are apparently unified into the $mathrm{SU}(5)$ representations. A straightforward explanation of this fact is to embed all the SM gauge groups into […]

Lattice Simulations of Axion-U(1) Inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Angelo Caravano, Eiichiro Komatsu, Kaloian D. Lozanov, Jochen Weller, | Summary: If gauge fields are coupled to an axion field during inflation, they lead to unique observational signatures within the reach of next generation experiments. However, this system often shows strong backreaction effects, invalidating the standard perturbation […]

Lattice Simulations of Axion-U(1) Inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Angelo Caravano, Eiichiro Komatsu, Kaloian D. Lozanov, Jochen Weller, | Summary: We present the first nonlinear lattice simulation of an axion field coupled to a U(1) gauge field during inflation. We use it to fully characterize the statistics of the primordial curvature perturbation {zeta}. We find high-order […]

Quantum Simulations of Dark Sector Showers

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: So Chigusa, Masahito Yamazaki, , , | Summary: We consider dark sector scenarios where dark matter is accompanied by a dark photon and multiple-flavor dark fermions charged under the dark gauge group. We study quantum interference effects in dark sector jets, where multiple dark photons are emitted […]
