Lynx grating spectrometer design: Optimizing chirped transmission gratings

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf K. Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Hans Moritz Günther, Ralf K. Heilmann, , , | Summary: Lynx is one of four large-mission concept studies for NASA’s 2020 Decadal survey. The design reference mission includes an X-ray grating spectrometer (XGS) based on critical-angle transmission (CAT) gratings. In the past we studied different grating […]

Ray-tracing a small orbital mission for soft-X-ray polarimetry

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Hans Moritz Günther, Herman L. Marshall, Alan Garner, , | Summary: X-ray polarimetry is still largely uncharted territory. With the upcoming launch of IXPE, we will learn a lot more about X-ray polarization at energies above 2 keV, but so far no current or accepted mission […]

Non-perturbative Effects on Electroweakly Interacting Massive Particles at Hadron Collider

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Taisuke Katayose, Shigeki Matsumoto, Satoshi Shirai, , | Summary: Electroweakly Interacting Massive Particles (EWIMPs), in other words, new massive particles that are charged under the electroweak interaction of the Standard Model (SM), are often predicted in various new physics models. EWIMPs are probed at hadron collider experiments […]

Sideband transitions in a two-mode Josephson circuit driven beyond the rotating wave approximation

Kavli Affiliate: Gary A. Steele | First 5 Authors: Byoung-moo Ann, Wouter Kessels, Gary. A. Steele, , | Summary: Driving quantum systems periodically in time plays an essential role in the coherent control of quantum states. The rotating wave approximation (RWA) is a good approximation technique for weak and nearly-resonance driven fields. However, these experiments […]

Incorporating Hidden Layer representation into Adversarial Attacks and Defences

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Haojing Shen, Sihong Chen, Ran Wang, Xizhao Wang, | Summary: In this paper, we propose a defence strategy to improve adversarial robustness by incorporating hidden layer representation. The key of this defence strategy aims to compress or filter input information including adversarial perturbation. And this defence strategy […]

Membrane Nanodomains Homeostasis During Propofol Anesthesia as Function of Dosage and Temperature

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Zucker | First 5 Authors: Weixiang Jin, Michael Zucker, Arnd Pralle, , | Summary: Some anesthetics bind and potentiate gamma-aminobutyric-acid-type receptors, but no universal mechanism for general anesthesia is known. Furthermore, often encountered complications such as anesthesia induced amnesia are not understood. General anesthetics are hydrophobic molecules easily dissolving into lipid bilayers. […]

Automatic coding of students’ writing via Contrastive Representation Learning in the Wasserstein space

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Ruijie Jiang, Julia Gouvea, David Hammer, Eric Miller, Shuchin Aeron | Summary: Qualitative analysis of verbal data is of central importance in the learning sciences. It is labor-intensive and time-consuming, however, which limits the amount of data researchers can include in studies. This work is a step […]

Two young planetary systems around field stars with ages between 20-320 Myr from TESS

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: George Zhou, Samuel N. Quinn, Jonathan Irwin, Chelsea X. Huang, Karen A. Collins | Summary: Planets around young stars trace the early evolution of planetary systems. We report the discovery and validation of two planetary systems with ages $lesssim 300$ Myr from observations by the Transiting […]

Nondestructive Prediction of the Buckling Load of Imperfect Shells

Kavli Affiliate: Shmuel M. Rubinstein | First 5 Authors: Anais Abramian, Emmanuel Virot, Emilio Lozano, Shmuel M. Rubinstein, Tobias M. Schneider | Summary: From soda cans to space rockets, thin-walled cylindrical shells are abundant, offering exceptional load carrying capacity at relatively low weight. However, the actual load at which any shell buckles and collapses is […]
