Generic separating sets for 3D elasticity tensors

Rodrigue Desmorat, Nicolas Auffray, Boris Desmorat +2

We define what is a generic separating set of invariant functions (a.k.a. a weak functional basis) for tensors. We produce then two generic separating sets of polynomial invariants…

Volatile loss following cooling and accretion of the Moon revealed by chromium isotopes

Paolo A. Sossi, Frédéric Moynier, Kirsten van Zuilen

Terrestrial and lunar rocks share chemical and isotopic similarities in refractory elements, suggestive of a common precursor. By contrast, the marked depletion of volatile element…

Hexagons and Correlators in the Fishnet Theory

Benjamin Basso, Joao Caetano, Thiago Fleury

We investigate the hexagon formalism in the planar 4d conformal fishnet theory. This theory arises from N=4 SYM by a deformation that preserves both conformal symmetry and integrab…

ROSETTA/OSIRIS observations of the 67P nucleus during the April 2016 flyby: high-resolution spectrophotometry

C. Feller, S. Fornasier, S. Ferrari +35

In April 2016, the Rosetta spacecraft performed a low-altitude low-phase-angle flyby over the Imhotep-Khepry transition of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's nucleus. The OSIRIS/Narrow-An…

Properties of at small opening angles in collisions with the ATLAS detector at TeV

ATLAS Collaboration

The fragmentation of high-energy gluons at small opening angles is largely unconstrained by present measurements. Gluon splitting to -quark pairs is a unique probe into the prop…

Joule-level high effiency energy transfer to sub-picosecond laser pulses by a plasma-based amplifier

J. -R. Marquès, L. Lancia, T. Gangolf +9

Laser plasma amplification of sub-picosecond pulses above the Joule level is demonstrated, a major milestone for this scheme to become a solution for the next-generation of ultra-h…

Simultaneous accurate determination of both gravity and its vertical gradient

R. Caldani, K Weng, S. Merlet +1

We present a method for the accurate measurements of both the gravity acceleration and its vertical gradient using a dual atom interferometer, in principle free from any uncertaint…

Mathematical study of the equatorial Ekman boundary layer

Jean Rax

In this paper we study the well-posedness of a simple model of boundary layer for rotating fluids between two concentric spheres near the equator. We show that this model can be se…

Effect of particle exchange on the glass transition of binary hard spheres

Harukuni Ikeda, Francesco Zamponi

We investigate the replica theory of the liquid-glass transition for a binary mixture of large and small additive hard spheres. We consider two different ansätze for this problem:…

Robust coherent transport of light in multi-level hot atomic vapors

Nicolas Cherroret, Michal Hemmerling, Victor Nador +2

Using a model system, we demonstrate both experimentally and theoretically that coherent scattering of light can be robust in hot atomic vapors despite a significant Doppler effect…
