Exact pp-wave solutions in shift-symmetric higher-order scalar-tensor theories

Masato Minamitsuji

We investigate exact plane-fronted gravitational wave (pp-wave) solutions within the framework of shift-symmetric quadratic-order higher-order scalar--tensor (HOST) theories. These…

Background stability and annual modulation test using PICOLON ultra-pure NaI(Tl) detector

PICOLON Collaboration, K. Kotera, D. Chernyak +20

The dark matter observation claimed by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment has been a long-standing puzzle within the particle physics community. NaI(Tl) crystals with radiopurity comparable…

Stealth black hole solutions in higher-order Maxwell-Einstein theories

Masato Minamitsuji

We study static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions in higher-order Maxwell-Einstein theories. We do not particularly focus on the degenerate classes of theories. For se…

Superrotation of Titan's stratosphere driven by the radiative heating of the haze layer

Motoki Sumi, Shin-ichi Takehiro, Wataru Ohfuchi +2

Titan's stratosphere has been observed in a superrotation state, where the atmosphere rotates many times faster than the surface does. Another characteristics of Titan's atmosphere…

Particle acceleration by ion-acoustic solitons in plasma

Hideki Ishihara, Ken Matsuno, Masaaki Takahashi +1

We propose a new acceleration mechanism for charged particles by using cylindrical or spherical non-linear acoustic waves propagating in ion-electron plasma. The acoustic wave, whi…
