Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Misao Sasaki, Volodymyr Takhistov, Valeri Vardanyan, Ying-li Zhang, | Summary: Primordial black holes (PBHs) from the early Universe constitute an attractive dark matter candidate. First detections of black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) candidate gravitational wave events by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration, GW200105 and GW200115, already prompted speculations about non-astrophysical […]

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, R. Adak, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal | Summary: This paper reports a study of $B to K^{*}gamma$ decays using $62.8pm 0.6$ fb$^{-1}$ of data collected during 2019–2020 by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB $e^{+}e^{-}$ asymmetric-energy collider, corresponding to $(68.2 pm 0.8) […]

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Toda, Yuki Sakurai, Hirokazu Ishino, Tomotake Matsumura, Kunimoto Komatsu | Summary: The polarization modulator unit for the low-frequency telescope in LiteBIRD employs an achromatic half-wave plate (AHWP). It consists of five layers of a-cut sapphire plate, which are stacked based on a Pancharatnam recipe. In this […]

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Yosuke Kobayashi, Takahiro Nishimichi, Masahiro Takada, Hironao Miyatake, | Summary: We present the results obtained from the full-shape cosmology analysis of the redshift-space power spectra for 4 galaxy samples of the SDSS-III BOSS DR12 galaxy catalog over $0.2 < z < 0.75$. For the theoretical template, we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Kaname Imagawa, Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, Hiromasa Nakatsuka, Eisuke Sonomoto | Summary: Axion-like particles (ALPs) are pseudoscalar bosons predicted by string theory. The ALPs have a shallower potential than a quadratic one, which induces the instability and can form the solitonic object called oscillon/I-ball. Although the lifetime […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Tianxiang Gao, Hailiang Liu, Jia Liu, Hridesh Rajan, Hongyang Gao | Summary: Implicit deep learning has received increasing attention recently due to the fact that it generalizes the recursive prediction rules of many commonly used neural network architectures. Its prediction rule is provided implicitly based on the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Karl Gebhardt, Erin Mentuch Cooper, Robin Ciardullo, Viviana Acquaviva, Ralf Bender | Summary: We describe the survey design, calibration, commissioning, and emission-line detection algorithms for the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX). The goal of HETDEX is to measure the redshifts of over a million Ly$alpha$ emitting […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Gary J. Hill, Hanshin Lee, Phillip J. MacQueen, Andreas Kelz, Niv Drory | Summary: The Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) is undertaking a blind wide-field low-resolution spectroscopic survey of 540 square degrees of sky to identify and derive redshifts for a million Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Tzu-Chen Huang, Ying-Hsuan Lin, Kantaro Ohmori, Yuji Tachikawa, Masaki Tezuka | Summary: We numerically study an anyon chain based on the Haagerup fusion category, and find evidence that it leads in the long-distance limit to a conformal field theory whose central charge is $sim 2$. Fusion categories […]

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Sultan Hassan, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Benjamin Wandelt, David N. Spergel, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar | Summary: A wealth of cosmological and astrophysical information is expected from many ongoing and upcoming large-scale surveys. It is crucial to prepare for these surveys now and develop tools that can efficiently extract the […]
