Naturalness in Type II seesaw model and implications for physical scalars

Mohamed Chabab, Michel Capdequi-Peyranère, Larbi Rahili

In this paper we consider a minimal extension to the standard model by a scalar triplet field with hypercharge . This model relies on the seesaw mechanism which provides a con…

New determination of abundances and stellar parameters for a set of weak G-band stars

A. Palacios, G. Jasniewicz, T. Masseron +3

Weak G-band (wGb) stars are very peculiar red giants almost devoided of carbon and often mildly enriched in lithium. Despite their very puzzling abundance patterns, very few detail…

Gamma-Ray Bursts at high and very high energies

F. Piron

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are extra-galactic and extremely energetic transient emissions of gamma rays, which are thought to be associated with the death of massive stars or the merg…

Homogenization near resonances and artificial magnetism in 3D dielectric metamaterials

Guy Bouchitté, Christophe Bourel, Didier Felbacq

It is now well established that the homogenization of a periodic array of parallel dielectric fibers with suitably scaled high permittivity can lead to a (possibly) negative freque…

Non-LTE iron abundances in cool stars: The role of hydrogen collisions

Rana Ezzeddine, Thibault Merle, Bertrand Plez

In the aim of determining accurate iron abundances in stars, this work is meant to empirically calibrate H-collision cross-sections with iron, where no quantum mechanical calculati…

Beyond in-phase and anti-phase coordination in a model of joint action

Daniele Avitabile, Piotr Słowiński, Benoit Bardy +1

In 1985 Haken, Kelso and Bunz proposed a system of coupled nonlinear oscillators as a model of rhythmic movement patterns in human bimanual coordination. Since then, the Haken-Kels…

Vacuum stability and supersymmetry at high scales with two Higgs doublets

Emanuele Bagnaschi, Felix Brümmer, Wilfried Buchmüller +2

We investigate the stability of the electroweak vacuum for two-Higgs doublet models with a supersymmetric UV completion. The supersymmetry breaking scale is taken to be of the orde…

Improved kernels for Signed Max Cut parameterized above lower bound on (r,l)-graphs

Luerbio Faria, Sulamita Klein, Ignasi Sau +1

A graph is signed if each edge is assigned or . A signed graph is balanced if there is a bipartition of its vertex set such that an edge has sign if and only if its…

Distributed thermal tasks on many-body systems through a single quantum machine

Bruno Leggio, Pierre Doyeux, Riccardo Messina +1

We propose a configuration of a single three-level quantum emitter embedded in a non-equilibrium steady electromagnetic environment, able to stabilize and control the local tempera…

Decay Constants of Heavy-Light Mesons from QCD

Stephan Narison

We summarize recently improved results for the pseudoscalar [1,2] and vector [3] meson decay constants and their ratios from QCD spectral sum rules where N2LO + estimate of the N3L…

The MiMeS Survey of Magnetism in Massive Stars: Introduction and overview

G. A. Wade, C. Neiner, E. Alecian +47

The MiMeS project is a large-scale, high resolution, sensitive spectropolarimetric investigation of the magnetic properties of O and early B type stars. Initiated in 2008 and compl…

Competition between electric field and magnetic field noise in the decoherence of a single spin in diamond

P. Jamonneau, M. Lesik, J. P. Tetienne +12

We analyze the impact of electric field and magnetic field fluctuations in the decoherence of the electronic spin associated with a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond b…

An efficient scheme for sampling fast dynamics at a low average data acquisition rate

A. Philippe, S. Aime, V. Roger +4

We introduce a temporal scheme for data sampling, based on a variable delay between two successive data acquisitions. The scheme is designed so as to reduce the average data flow r…

Local Magnetic Field Role in Star Formation

Patrick M. Koch, Ya-Wen Tang, Paul T. P. Ho +14

We highlight distinct and systematic observational features of magnetic field morphologies in polarized submm dust continuum. We illustrate this with specific examples and show sta…

Completeness of Randomized Kinodynamic Planners with State-based Steering

Stéphane Caron, Quang-Cuong Pham, Yoshihiko Nakamura

Probabilistic completeness is an important property in motion planning. Although it has been established with clear assumptions for geometric planners, the panorama of completeness…

Self-organized magnetic particles to tune the mechanical behaviour of a granular system

Meredith Cox, Dong Wang, Jonathan Barés +1

Above a certain density a granular material jams. This property can be controlled by either tuning a global property, such as the packing fraction or by applying shear strain, or a…

Bursting of Dilute Emulsion-Based Liquid Sheets Driven by a Marangoni Effect

Clara Vernay, Laurence Ramos, Christian Ligoure

We study the destabilization mechanism of thin liquid sheets expanding in air and show that dilute oil-in-water emulsion-based sheets disintegrate through the nucleation and growth…

Point-to-set lengths, local structure, and glassiness

Sho Yaida, Ludovic Berthier, Patrick Charbonneau +1

The growing sluggishness of glass-forming liquids is thought to be accompanied by growing structural order. The nature of such order, however, remains hotly debated. A decade ago,…
