Studies of the internal properties of jets and jet substructure with the ATLAS Detector

Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | First 5 Authors: David W. Miller, , , , | Summary: The internal structure of jets produced in pp collisions at the LHC is measured using the ATLAS detector in an inclusive jet sample corresponding to 35pb-1 of pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. Classical jet shape and […]

Jet substructure in ATLAS

Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | First 5 Authors: David W. Miller, , , , | Summary: Measurements are presented of the jet invariant mass and substructure in proton-proton collisions at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector using an integrated luminosity of 37 pb-1. These results exercise the tools for distinguishing the signatures […]

Suzaku Observations of 4U 1957+11: Potentially the Most Rapidly Spinning Black Hole in (the Halo of) the Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Nowak, Joern Wilms, Katja Pottschmidt, Norbert Schulz, Dipankar Maitra | Summary: We present three Suzaku observations of the black hole candidate 4U 1957+11 (V1408 Aql) — a source that exhibits some of the simplest and cleanest examples of soft, disk-dominated spectra. 4U 1957+11 also presents […]

Ion association in low-polarity solvents: comparisons between theory, simulation, and experiment

Kavli Affiliate: Jos W. Zwanikken | First 5 Authors: Chantal Valeriani, Philip J. Camp, Jos W. Zwanikken, René van Roij, Marjolein Dijkstra | Summary: The association of ions in electrolyte solutions at very low concentration and low temperature is studied using computer simulations and quasi-chemical ion-pairing theory. The specific case of the restricted primitive model […]

Free subgroups within the images of quantum representations

Kavli Affiliate: Toshitake Kohno | First 5 Authors: Louis Funar, Toshitake Kohno, , , | Summary: We prove that, except for a few explicit roots of unity, the quantum image of any Johnson subgroup of the mapping class group contains an explicit free non-abelian subgroup. | Search Query: ArXiv Query: search_query=au:”Toshitake Kohno”&id_list=&start=0&max_results=3 Read More

On G/N-Hilb of N-Hilb

Kavli Affiliate: Yukari Ito | First 5 Authors: Akira Ishii, Yukari Ito, Álvaro Nolla de Celis, , | Summary: In this paper we consider the iterated G-equivariant Hilbert scheme G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb) and prove that G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb(C^3)) is a crepant resolution of C^3/G isomorphic to the moduli space of theta-stable representations of the McKay quiver for certain stability […]

Wide-Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Interim Report

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | First 5 Authors: James Green, Paul Schechter, Charles Baltay, Rachel Bean, David Bennett | Summary: In December 2010, NASA created a Science Definition Team (SDT) for WFIRST, the Wide Field Infra-Red Survey Telescope, recommended by the Astro 2010 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for a large space mission. The […]

The Creation and Propagation of Radiation: Fields Inside and Outside of Sources

Kavli Affiliate: John W. Belcher | First 5 Authors: Stanislaw Olbert, John W. Belcher, Richard H. Price, , | Summary: We present a new algorithm for computing the electromagnetic fields of currents inside and outside of finite current sources, for arbitrary time variations in the currents. Unexpectedly, we find that our solutions for these fields […]

Strong Coupling Problem with Time-Varying Sound Speed

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Austin Joyce, Justin Khoury, , , | Summary: For a single scalar field with unit sound speed minimally coupled to Einstein gravity, there are exactly three distinct cosmological solutions which produce a scale invariant spectrum of curvature perturbations in a dynamical attractor background, assuming vacuum initial conditions: […]
