Searches for continuous gravitational waves from nine young supernova remnants

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +887

We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science data run. The targets were nine young supernova remnants not associated with pu…

A directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +891

We present results of a search for continuously-emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semi-coherent analysis covers 10…

Light-by-light scattering with intact protons at the LHC: from Standard Model to New Physics

Sylvain Fichet, Gero von Gersdorff, Bruno Lenzi +2

We discuss the discovery potential of light-by-light scattering at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), induced by the Standard Model (SM) and by new exotic charged particles. Our simu…

Methods and results of a search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts using the GEO600, LIGO, and Virgo detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +889

In this paper we report on a search for short-duration gravitational wave bursts in the frequency range 64 Hz-1792 Hz associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), using data from GEO60…

Light-Cone Analysis of the Pure Spinor Formalism for the Superstring

Nathan Berkovits, Renann Lipinski Jusinskas

Physical states of the superstring can be described in light-cone gauge by acting with transverse bosonic and fermionic operators on an $SO\le…

Spectrum generating algebra for the pure spinor superstring

Renann Lipinski Jusinskas

In this work, a DDF-like construction within the pure spinor formalism is presented. Starting with the light-cone massless vertices, the creation/annihilation algebra is derived in…

Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +901

We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 223 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) in 2005-2010 during LIGO's fifth…

Three-Point Functions and su(1|1) Spin Chains

Joao Caetano, Thiago Fleury

We compute three-point functions of general operators in the su(1|1) sector of planar N = 4 SYM in the weak coupling regime, both at tree-level and one-loop. Each operator is repre…

Measuring the spin of black holes in binary systems using gravitational waves

Salvatore Vitale, Ryan Lynch, John Veitch +2

Compact binary coalescences are the most promising sources of gravitational waves (GWs) for ground based detectors. Binary systems containing one or two spinning black holes are pa…

Dirac gauginos, R symmetry and the 125 GeV Higgs

Enrico Bertuzzo, Claudia Frugiuele, Thomas Gregoire +1

We study a supersymmetric scenario with a quasi exact R-symmetry in light of the discovery of a Higgs resonance with a mass of 125 GeV. In such a framework, the additional adjoint…

Covariant Map Between Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz and Pure Spinor Formalisms for the Superstring

Nathan Berkovits

A covariant map between the Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz (RNS) and pure spinor formalisms for the superstring is found which transforms the RNS and pure spinor BRST operators into each oth…
