A General Framework for Removing Point Spread Function Additive Systematics in Cosmological Weak Lensing Analysis

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Tianqing Zhang, Xiangchong Li, Roohi Dalal, Rachel Mandelbaum, Michael A. Strauss | Summary: Cosmological weak lensing measurements rely on a precise measurement of the shear two-point correlation function (2PCF) along with a deep understanding of systematics that affect it. In this work, we demonstrate a general framework […]

Search for an invisible $Z^prime$ in a final state with two muons and missing energy at Belle II

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed | Summary: The $L_{mu}-L_{tau}$ extension of the standard model predicts the existence of a lepton-flavor-universality-violating $Z^{prime}$ boson that couples only to the heavier lepton families. We search for such a $Z^prime$ through its invisible decay in […]

The alarm pheromone and alarm response of the clonal raider ant

Posted by klaurent Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Lindsey E. Lopes, Erik T. Frank, Zsolt Kárpáti, Thomas Schmitt and Daniel J.C. Kronauer | Summary: Abstract Ants communicate via an arsenal of different pheromones produced in a variety of exocrine glands. For example, ants release alarm pheromones in response to danger to alert their nestmates and to trigger […]

Microdissection and culturing of adult lateral entorhinal cortex layer II neurons from APP/PS1 Alzheimer model mice

Posted by klaurent NTNU

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter, Asgeir Kobro-Flatmoen | Authors: Katrine Sjaastad Hanssen, Menno P. Witter, Axel Sandvig, Ioanna Sandvig and Asgeir Kobro-Flatmoen | Summary: Abstract Background Primary neuronal cultures enable cell-biological studies of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), albeit typically non-neuron-specific. The first cortical neurons affected in AD reside in layer II of the lateralmost part of the […]

Structural basis for CaVα2δ:gabapentin binding

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Minor | Authors: Daniel L Minor, Jr., Zhou Chen and Abhisek Mondal | Summary: Abstract Gabapentinoid drugs for pain and anxiety act on the CaVα2δ-1 and CaVα2δ-2 subunits of high-voltage activated calcium channels (CaV1s and CaV2s). Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of the gabapentin-bound brain and cardiac CaV1.2/CaVβ3/CaVα2δ-1 channel. The data […]

Spin wavepackets in the Kagome ferromagnet Fe$_3$Sn$_2$: propagation and precursors

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Joel Moore | First 5 Authors: Changmin Lee, Yue Sun, Linda Ye, Sumedh Rathi, Kevin Wang | Summary: The propagation of spin waves in magnetically ordered systems has emerged as a potential means to shuttle quantum information over large distances. Conventionally, the arrival time of a spin wavepacket at a distance, $d$, is […]

Effects of the interplay between fermionic interactions and disorders in the nodal-line superconductors

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wen-Hao Bian, Xiao-Zhuo Chu, Jing Wang, , | Summary: We study the interplay between fermion-fermion interactions and disorder scatterings beneath the superconducting dome of noncentrosymmetric nodal-line superconductors. With the application of renormalization group, several interesting low-energy behaviors are extracted from the coupled equations of all interaction parameters. […]

Controlled crossed Andreev reflection and elastic co-tunneling mediated by Andreev bound states

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Alberto Bordin, Guanzhong Wang, Chun-Xiao Liu, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Grzegorz P. Mazur | Summary: A short superconducting segment can couple attached quantum dots via elastic co-tunneling (ECT) and crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). Such coupled quantum dots can host Majorana bound states provided that the ratio […]
