Kavli Affiliate: Paul McEuen | First 5 Authors: Kent L. McCormick, Michael T. Woodside, Mike Huang, Mingshaw Wu, Paul McEuen | Summary: Using an atomic force microscope as a local voltmeter, we measure the Hall voltage profile in a 2D electron gas in the quantum Hall (QH) regime. We observe a linear profile in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil Martinec | First 5 Authors: Miao Li, Emil Martinec, Vatche Sahakian, , | Summary: Making combined use of the Matrix and Maldacena conjectures, the relation between various thermodynamic transitions in super Yang-Mills (SYM) and supergravity is clarified. The thermodynamic phase diagram of an object in DLCQ M-theory in four and five non-compact […]
Kavli Affiliate: Juan I. Collar | First 5 Authors: Juan I. Collar, , , , | Summary: The case for a stable population of solar-bound Earth-crossing Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) is reviewed. A practical general expression for their speed distribution in the laboratory frame is derived under basic assumptions. If such a population exists […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shigetaka Moriyama | First 5 Authors: Makoto Minowa, Shigetaka Moriyama, Yoshizumi Inoue, Toshio Namba, Yuko Takasu | Summary: A preliminary result of the solar axion search experiment at the University of Tokyo is presented. We searched for axions which could be produced in the solar core by exploiting the axion helioscope. The helioscope […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shigetaka Moriyama | First 5 Authors: Shigetaka Moriyama, , , , | Summary: An experimental method is introduced to search for almost monochromatic solar axions. In this method, we can search for solar axions by exploiting the axion-quark coupling, not relying on the axion-photon coupling at all. A recent experimental result of Krv […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , , , | Summary: I demonstrate by means of high resolution cosmological simulations, which include modelling of a two-phase interstellar medium, that the dominant mechanism for transporting heavy elements from the proto-galaxies into the IGM is the merger mechanism as discovered by Gnedin […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Harvey | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey A. Harvey, , , , | Summary: The long-range, spin-dependent forces between D0-branes are related to long-range fundamental string interactions using duality. These interactions can then be computed by taking the long distance non-relativistic expansion of string four-point amplitudes. The results are in accord with the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward W. Kolb, , , , | Summary: In this lecture I will review some recent progress in improving the accuracy of the calculation of density perturbations resulting from inflation. | Search Query: arXiv Query: search_query=au:”Edward Kolb”&id_list=&start=0&max_results=3 Read More
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Frieman | First 5 Authors: Joshua A. Frieman, , , , | Summary: On-going projects to discover Type Ia supernovae at redshifts z = 0.3 – 1, coupled with improved techniques to narrow the dispersion in SN Ia peak magnitudes, have renewed the prospects for determining the cosmic deceleration parameter q_0. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark SubbaRao | First 5 Authors: M. U. SubbaRao, A. J. Connolly, A. S. Szalay, D. C. Koo, | Summary: The determination of the galaxy luminosity function is an active and fundamental field in observational cosmology. In this paper we propose a cost effective way of measuring galaxy luminosity functions at faint magnitudes. […]
