Kavli Affiliate: Paul Brink | First 5 Authors: Robert Agnese, Taylor Aralis, Tsuguo Aramaki, Isaac Arnquist, Elham Azadbakht | Summary: The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory studied energy loss associated with Frenkel defect formation in germanium crystals at mK temperatures using in situ $^{210}$Pb sources. We examine the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Thomas M. Crawford | First 5 Authors: John E. Carlstrom, Thomas M. Crawford, Lloyd Knox, , | Summary: Temperature and polarization variations across the microwave sky include the fingerprints of quantum fluctuations in the early universe. They may soon reveal physics at unprecedented energy scales. | Search Query: arXiv Query: search_query=au:”Thomas M. Crawford”&id_list=&start=0&max_results=3 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ya M. Blanter | First 5 Authors: J. D. P. Machado, Ya. M. Blanter, , , | Summary: Sideband asymmetry in cavity optomechanics has been explained by particle creation and annihilation processes, which bestow an amplitude proportional to ‘n+1’ and ‘n’ excitations to each of the respective sidebands. We discuss the issues with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak M. Parpia | First 5 Authors: Lev V. Levitin, Ben Yager, Laura Sumner, Brian Cowan, Andrew J. Casey | Summary: In superfluid $^3$He-B confined in a slab geometry, domain walls between regions of different order parameter orientation are predicted to be energetically stable. Formation of the spatially-modulated superfluid stripe phase has been […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | First 5 Authors: Richard Hills, Girish Kulkarni, P. Daniel Meerburg, Ewald Puchwein, | Summary: It is predicted that the spectrum of radio emission from the whole sky should show a dip arising from the action of the light from the first stars on the hydrogen atoms in the surrounding gas, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Yasunori Nomura, Pratik Rath, Nico Salzetta, , | Summary: Motivated by the ability to consistently apply the Ryu-Takayanagi prescription for general convex surfaces and the relationship between entanglement and geometry in tensor networks, we introduce a novel, covariant bulk object – the holographic slice. The holographic slice […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip H. Scherrer | First 5 Authors: M. Cristina Rabello-Soares, Richard S. Bogart, Philip H. Scherrer, , | Summary: We analyze the effect of a sunspot in its quiet surroundings applying a helioseismic technique on almost three years of Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) observations obtained during solar cycle 24 to further study […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alastair Murray, Stuart Marshall, Leroy Cronin, , | Summary: How do we estimate the probability of an abundant objects’ formation, with minimal context or assumption about is origin? To explore this we have previously introduced the concept of pathway assembly (as pathway complexity), in a graph based […]
Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig Hogan, , , , | Summary: It is suggested that the exact value of the cosmological constant could be derived from first principles, based on entanglement of the Standard Model field vacuum with emergent holographic quantum geometry. For the observed value of the cosmological constant, geometrical […]
