The Majorana experiment: an ultra-low background search for neutrinoless double-beta decay

D. G. Phillips, E. Aguayo, F. T. Avignone +86

The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay would resolve the Majorana nature of the neutrino and could provide information on the absolute scale of the neutrino mass. The in…

Equipartition of rotational and translational energy in a dense granular gas

Kiri Nichol, Karen E. Daniels

Experiments quantifying the rotational and translational motion of particles in a dense, driven, 2D granular gas floating on an air table reveal that kinetic energy is divided equa…

Combinatorial frameworks for cluster algebras

Nathan Reading, David E Speyer

We develop a general approach to finding combinatorial models for cluster algebras. The approach is to construct a labeled graph called a framework. When a framework is constructed…
