Cosmological Avatars of the Landscape II: CMB and LSS Signatures
R. Holman, Laura Mersini-Houghton, Tomo Takahashi
This is the second paper in the series that confronts predictions of a model of the landscape with cosmological observations. We show here how the modifications of the Friedmann eq…
A Non-parametric Approach to Measuring the \kpi{} Amplitudes in \dpkkpi{} Decay
The FOCUS collaboration
Using a large sample of \dpkkpi{} decays collected by the FOCUS photoproduction experiment at Fermilab, we present the first non-parametric analysis of the \kpi{} amplitudes in \dp…
General frequentist properties of the posterior profile distribution
Guang Cheng, Michael R. Kosorok
In this paper, inference for the parametric component of a semiparametric model based on sampling from the posterior profile distribution is thoroughly investigated from the freque…
Long-range-correlated disorder in graphene
D. V. Khveshchenko
We study transport of two-dimensional quasi-relativistic electronic excitations in graphene in the presence of static long-range-correlated random scalar and vector potentials. Usi…
Dark Matter on the Smallest Scales
E. R. Siegel, G. D'Amico, E. Di Napoli +5
This work investigates the dark matters structures that form on the smallest cosmological scales. We find that the types and abundances of structures which form at approximately Ea…
Cosmological Avatars of the Landscape I: Bracketing the SUSY Breaking Scale
R. Holman, L. Mersini-Houghton, Tomo Takahashi
We investigate the effects of quantum entanglement between our horizon patch and others due to the tracing out of long wavelength modes in the wavefunction of the Universe as defin…
The Effect of Cluster Environment on Galaxy Evolution in the Pegasus I Cluster
Lorenza Levy, James A. Rose, Jacqueline H. van Gorkom +1
We present HI observations of 54 galaxies in the Pegasus cluster. The observations include single dish HI measurements, obtained with the Arecibo telescope for all 54 galaxies in t…
Quantum Deconstruction of 5D SQCD
Edoardo Di Napoli, Vadim S. Kaplunovsky
We deconstruct the fifth dimension of 5D SCQD with general numbers of colors and flavors and general 5D Chern-Simons level; the latter is adjusted by adding extra quarks to the 4D…
Bayesian transformation hazard models
Gousheng Yin, Joseph G. Ibrahim
We propose a class of transformation hazard models for right-censored failure time data. It includes the proportional hazards model (Cox) and the additive hazards model (Lin and Yi…
Variable-free exploration of stochastic models: a gene regulatory network example
Radek Erban, Thomas A. Frewen, Xiao Wang +4
Finding coarse-grained, low-dimensional descriptions is an important task in the analysis of complex, stochastic models of gene regulatory networks. This task involves (a) identify…
Turnaround in Cyclic Cosmology
Lauris Baum, Paul H. Frampton
It is speculated how dark energy in a brane world can help reconcile an infinitely cyclic cosmology with the second law of thermodynamics. A cyclic cosmology is described, in which…
Initial Results from the USNO Dispersed Fourier Transform Spectrograph
Arsen R. Hajian, Bradford B. Behr, Andrew T. Cenko +15
We have designed and constructed a ``dispersed Fourier Transform Spectrometer'' (dFTS), consisting of a conventional FTS followed by a grating spectrometer. By combining these two…
On the asymptotic giant branch star origin of peculiar spinel grain OC2
M. Lugaro, A. I. Karakas, L. R. Nittler +4
Microscopic presolar grains extracted from primitive meteorites have extremely anomalous isotopic compositions revealing the stellar origin of these grains. The composition of pres…
Hubble Space Telescope Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Fourteen Low-Redshift Quasars
Rajib Ganguly, Michael S. Brotherton, Nahum Arav +35
We present low-resolution ultraviolet spectra of 14 low redshift (z<0.8) quasars observed with HST/STIS as part of a Snap project to understand the relationship between quasar outf…
HI column densities of z > 2 Swift gamma-ray bursts
P. Jakobsson, J. P. U. Fynbo, C. Ledoux +18
Context: Before the launch of the Swift satellite, the majority of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows for which Ly-alpha was redshifted into the observable spectrum showed eviden…
Intrinsic-Density Functionals
J. Engel
The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem and Kohn-Sham procedure are extended to functionals of the localized intrinsic density of a self-bound system such as a nucleus. After defining the intri…
Proton Decay in Teravolt Unification
P. H. frampton
Model building based on abelian quiver gauge theories gives models which resemble trinification, originally proposed with yottavolt unification. However, unification occurs in the…
A high-resolution infrared spectroscopic investigation of the halogen atom-HCN entrance channel complexes solvated in superfluid helium droplets
Jeremy M. Merritt, Jochen Küpper, Roger E. Miller
Rotationally resolved infrared spectra are reported for the X-HCN (X = Cl, Br, I) binary complexes solvated in helium nanodroplets. These results are directly compared with that ob…
Cosmological Implications of the String Theory Landscape
Laura Mersini-Houghton
Progress in string theory has resulted in a whole landscape of vacua solutions.In this talk I describe a proposal for exploring the cosmological implications of the landscape, base…
Multi-layer scintillation detector for the MOON double beta decay experiment: Scintillation photon responses studied by a prototype detector MOON-1
H. Nakamura, P. Doe, H. Ejiri +50
An ensemble of multi-layer scintillators is discussed as an option of the high-sensitivity detector Mo Observatory Of Neutrinos (MOON) for spectroscopic measurements of neutrino-le…
