Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Andrew J. Larkoski, Tom Melia, , , | Summary: Despite being the overwhelming majority of events produced in hadron or heavy ion collisions, minimum bias events do not enjoy a robust first-principles theoretical description as their dynamics are dominated by low-energy quantum chromodynamics. In this paper, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael P. Brenner | First 5 Authors: Subhashini Venugopalan, Joel Shor, Manoj Plakal, Jimmy Tobin, Katrin Tomanek | Summary: Automatic classification of disordered speech can provide an objective tool for identifying the presence and severity of speech impairment. Classification approaches can also help identify hard-to-recognize speech samples to teach ASR systems about the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, Hiromasa Nakatsuka, , | Summary: Primordial black hole (PBH) is a fascinating candidate for the origin of binary merger events observed by LIGO-Virgo collaboration. The spatial distribution of PBHs at formation is an important feature to estimate the merger rate. We investigate the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Jimmy-Xuan Shen, Jason M. Munro, Matthew K. Horton, Patrick Huck, Shyam Dwaraknath | Summary: In addition to being the core quantity in density functional theory, the charge density can be used in many tertiary analyses in materials sciences from bonding to assigning charge to specific atoms. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Ryan Mckinven, Daniele Michilli, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Davor Cubranic, B. M. Gaensler | Summary: Polarimetric observations of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are a powerful resource for better understanding these mysterious sources by directly probing the emission mechanism of the source and the magneto-ionic properties of its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert F. Goeke | First 5 Authors: Nolan Grieves, François Bouchy, Monika Lendl, Theron Carmichael, Ismael Mireles | Summary: We report the discovery of five transiting companions near the hydrogen-burning mass limit in close orbits around main sequence stars originally identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as TESS Objects of Interest […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paolo Privitera | First 5 Authors: Toshihiro Fujii, Justin Albury, Jose Bellido, Ladislav Chytka, John Farmer | Summary: The origin and nature of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) remain an open question in astroparticle physics. Motivated by the need for an unprecedented aperture for further advancements, the Fluorescence detector Array of Single-pixel Telescopes (FAST) […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. Morris | First 5 Authors: J. R. Morris, , , , | Summary: A class of noncanonical effective potentials is introduced allowing stable, radially symmetric, solutions to first order Bogomol’nyi equations for a real scalar field in a fixed spacetime background. This class of effective potentials generalizes those found previously by Bazeia, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Csaba Csáki, Andrew Gomes, Hitoshi Murayama, Ofri Telem, | Summary: We investigate the IR phases of non-supersymmetric (non-SUSY) $SO(N_c)$ gauge theories with $N_F$ fermions in the vector representation obtained by perturbing the SUSY theory with anomaly mediated SUSY breaking (AMSB). We find that of the wide variety […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Hsin-Yu Chen, Salvatore Vitale, Francois Foucart, , | Summary: The origin of the heavy elements in the Universe is not fully determined. Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) and {binary neutron star} (BNS) mergers may both produce heavy elements via rapid neutron-capture (r-process). We use the recent detection of […]
