Exciton-Trion-Polaritons in Two-Dimensional Materials

Kavli Affiliate: Farhan Rana | First 5 Authors: Farhan Rana, Okan Koksal, Minwoo Jung, Gennady Shvets, A. Nick Vamivakas | Summary: We present a many-body theory for exciton-trion-polaritons in doped two-dimensional materials. Exciton-trion-polaritons are robust coherent hybrid excitations involving excitons, trions, and photons. Signatures of these polaritons have been recently seen in experiments. In these […]

X-ray constraints on the spectral energy distribution of the $z=5.18$ blazar SDSS J013127.34-032100.1

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Hongjun An, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: We report on X-ray measurements constraining the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the high-redshift $z=5.18$ blazar SDSS J013127.34$-$032100.1 with new XMM-Newton and NuSTAR exposures. The blazar’s X-ray spectrum is well fit by a power law with $Gamma=1.9$ […]

Counting perverse coherent systems on Calabi-Yau 4-folds

Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yalong Cao, Yukinobu Toda, , , | Summary: Nagao-Nakajima introduced counting invariants of stable perverse coherent systems on small resolutions of Calabi-Yau 3-folds and determined them on the resolved conifold. Their invariants recover DT/PT invariants and Szendr"oi’s non-commutative invariants in some chambers of stability conditions. In this […]

Nucleation is More than Critical — A Case Study of the Electroweak Phase Transition in the NMSSM

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Marcela Carena, Nausheen R. Shah, Carlos E. M. Wagner, Yikun Wang | Summary: Electroweak baryogenesis is an attractive mechanism to generate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via a strong first order electroweak phase transition. We compare the phase transition patterns suggested by […]

Sub-Kelvin Cooling for the BICEP Array Project

Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | First 5 Authors: Lionel Duband, Thomas Prouve, James Bock, Lorenzo Moncelsi, Alessandro Schillaci | Summary: In the field of astrophysics, the faint signal from distant galaxies and other dim cosmological sources at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths require the use of high-sensitivity experiments. Cryogenics and the use of low-temperature detectors are […]

Constraints on Axion-like Particles from a Hard $X$-ray Observation of Betelgeuse

Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Mengjiao Xiao, Kerstin M. Perez, Maurizio Giannotti, Oscar Straniero, Alessandro Mirizzi | Summary: We use the first observation of Betelgeuse in hard $X$-rays to perform a novel search for axion-like particles (ALPs). Betelgeuse is not expected to be a standard source of $X$-rays, but light ALPs produced […]

A design framework for actively crosslinked filament networks

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel J. Needleman | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Fürthauer, Daniel J Needleman, Michael J. Shelley, , | Summary: Living matter moves, deforms, and organizes itself. In cells this is made possible by networks of polymer filaments and crosslinking molecules that connect filaments to each other and that act as motors to do mechanical […]
