A broadband X-ray imaging spectroscopy in the 2030s: the FORCE mission

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Koji Mori, Takeshi G. Tsuru, Kazuhiro Nakazawa, Yoshihiro Ueda, Shin Watanabe | Summary: In this multi-messenger astronomy era, all the observational probes are improving their sensitivities and overall performance. The Focusing on Relativistic universe and Cosmic Evolution (FORCE) mission, the product of a JAXA/NASA collaboration, will reach […]

Nucleosynthesis in outflows of compact objects and detection prospects of associated kilonovae

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Nick Ekanger, Mukul Bhattacharya, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: We perform a comparative analysis of nucleosynthesis yields from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, black hole-neutron star (BHNS) mergers, and core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) with the goal of determining which are the most dominant sources of r-process enrichment observed […]

Wide-gap CdTe Strip Detectors for High-Resolution Imaging in Hard X-rays

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Shunsaku Nagasawa, Takahiro Minami, Shin Watanabe, Tadayuki Takahashi, | Summary: We propose a new strip configuration for CdTe X-ray detectors, named "Wide-gap CdTe strip detector", in which the gap between adjacent strips is much wider than the width of each strip. It has been known that the […]

Primordial-tensor-induced stochastic gravitational waves

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Mohammad Ali Gorji, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: Cosmological stochastic gravitational waves (GWs) induced by a spectator field are usually expected to have an amplitude very small compared with those generated by the curvature perturbation, or equivalently by a field dominating the universe. On the contrary […]

Intergenerational Test Generation for Natural Language Processing Applications

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Pin Ji, Yang Feng, Weitao Huang, Jia Liu, Zhihong Zhao | Summary: The development of modern NLP applications often relies on various benchmark datasets containing plenty of manually labeled tests to evaluate performance. While constructing datasets often costs many resources, the performance on the held-out data may […]

Remarks on mod-2 elliptic genus

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, Mayuko Yamashita, Kazuya Yonekura, , | Summary: For physicists: For supersymmetric quantum mechanics, there are cases when a mod-2 Witten index can be defined, even when a more ordinary $mathbb{Z}$-valued Witten index vanishes. Similarly, for 2d supersymmetric quantum field theories, there are cases when a […]
