Kavli Affiliate: Homer Neal | First 5 Authors: Marco Battaglieri, Sergey Boyarinov, Stephen Bueltmann, Volker Burkert, Andrea Celentano | Summary: The Heavy Photon Search (HPS), an experiment to search for a hidden sector photon in fixed target electroproduction, is preparing for installation at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in the Fall of 2014. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. Sternberg | First 5 Authors: Franciszek Rakowski, Jagan Srinivasan, Paul W. Sternberg, Jan Karbowski, | Summary: C. elegans is the only animal for which a detailed neural connectivity diagram has been constructed. However, synaptic polarities in this diagram, and thus, circuit functions are largely unknown. Here, we deciphered the likely polarities […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Chang | First 5 Authors: Tom Chang, Cheng-chin Wu, Marius Echim, Herve Lamy, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Dynamic Complexity is a phenomenon exhibited by a nonlinearly interacting system within which multitudes of different sizes of large scale coherent structures emerge, resulting in a globally nonlinear stochastic behavior vastly different from that could […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua A. Frieman | First 5 Authors: Masao Sako, Bruce Bassett, Andrew C. Becker, Peter J. Brown, Heather Campbell | Summary: This paper describes the data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Survey conducted between 2005 and 2007. Light curves, spectra, classifications, and ancillary data are presented for 10,258 variable […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak Parpia | First 5 Authors: Lev Levitin, Robert Bennett, Andrew Casey, Brian Cowan, John Saunders | Summary: We review recent experiments in which superfluid $^3$He has been studied under highly controlled confinement in nanofluidic sample chambers. We discuss the experimental challenges and their resolution. These methods open the way to a systematic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Radhika Nagpal | First 5 Authors: Alejandro Cornejo, Radhika Nagpal, , , | Summary: This paper studies the problem of having mobile robots in a multi-robot system maintain an estimate of the relative position and relative orientation of near-by robots in the environment. This problem is studied in the context of large swarms […]
Kavli Affiliate: Graham Fleming | First 5 Authors: Seogjoo Jang, Stephan Hoyer, Graham Fleming, K. Birgitta Whaley, | Summary: A generalized master equation (GME) governing quantum evolution of modular exciton density (MED) is derived for large scale light harvesting systems composed of weakly interacting modules of multiple chromophores. The GME-MED offers a practical framework to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sven C. Herrmann | First 5 Authors: Andreas Koch, Matthew Hart, Tim Nicholls, Christian Angelsen, John Coughlan | Summary: A MHz frame rate X-ray area detector (LPD – Large Pixel Detector) is under development by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory for the European XFEL. The detector will have 1 million pixels and allows analogue […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sarah N. T. Heine | First 5 Authors: Sarah N. T. Heine, Enectali Figueroa-Feliciano, John M. Rutherford, Patrick Wikus, Phil Oakley | Summary: Micro-X is a NASA-funded, sounding rocket-borne X-ray imaging spectrometer that will allow high precision measurements of velocity structure, ionization state and elemental composition of extended astrophysical systems. One of the […]
