Alpha Backgrounds for HPGe Detectors in Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Experiments
R. A. Johnson, T. H. Burritt, S. R. Elliott +3
The Majorana Experiment will use arrays of enriched HPGe detectors to search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76Ge. Such a decay, if found, would show lepton-number violat…
Dissecting early-type dwarf galaxies into their multiple components
J. Janz, E. Laurikainen, T. Lisker +8
Early-type dwarf galaxies, once believed to be simple systems, have recently been shown to exhibit an intriguing diversity in structure and stellar content. To analyze this further…
Cross Section Measurement of 9Be(γ,n)8Be and Implications for α+α+n -> 9Be in the r-Process
C. W. Arnold, T. B. Clegg, C. Iliadis +4
Models of the r-process are sensitive to the production rate of 9Be because, in explosive environments rich in neutrons, alpha(alpha n,gamma)9Be is the primary mechanism for bridgi…
An inertia 'paradox' for incompressible stratified Euler fluids
Roberto Camassa, Shengqian Chen, Gregorio Falqui +2
The interplay between incompressibility and stratification can lead to non-conservation of horizontal momentum in the dynamics of a stably stratified incompressible Euler fluid fil…
Pseudo-rip: Cosmological models intermediate between the cosmological constant and the little rip
Paul H. Frampton, Kevin J. Ludwick, Robert J. Scherrer
If we assume that the cosmic energy density will remain constant or strictly increase in the future, then the possible fates for the universe can be divided into four categories ba…
Nonzero theta_13 signals nonmaximal atmospheric neutrino mixing
David A. Eby, Paul H. Frampton
From recent groundbreaking experiments, it is now known that the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata mixing differs significantly from the tribimaximal model in which theta_13=0 and th…
The MGDO software library for data analysis in Ge neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments
M. Agostini, J. A. Detwiler, P. Finnerty +10
The GERDA and Majorana experiments will search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of germanium-76 using isotopically enriched high-purity germanium detectors. Although the experime…
Spin flip probability of electron in a uniform magnetic field
Richard T. Hammond
The probability of a spin flip of an electron is calculated. It is assumed that the electron resides in a uniform magnetic field and interacts with an incoming electromagnetic puls…
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…
Solving for Micro- and Macro- Scale Electrostatic Configurations Using the Robin Hood Algorithm
J. A. Formaggio, P. Lazic, T. J. Corona +3
We present a novel technique by which highly-segmented electrostatic configurations can be solved. The Robin Hood method is a matrix-inversion algorithm optimized for solving high…
Using Observations of Distant Quasars to Constrain Quantum Gravity
Eric S. Perlman, Y. Jack Ng, David J. E. Floyd +1
Aims. The small-scale nature of spacetime can be tested with observations of distant quasars. We comment on a recent paper by Tamburini et al. (A&A, 533, 71) which claims that Hubb…
On the steady states of weakly reversible chemical reaction networks
Jian Deng, Christopher Jones, Martin Feinberg +1
A natural condition on the structure of the underlying chemical reaction network, namely weak reversibility, is shown to guarantee the existence of an equilibrium (steady state) in…
Rapid Star Formation and Global Gravitational Collapse
Lee Hartmann, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes, Fabian Heitsch
Most young stars in nearby molecular clouds have estimated ages of 1-2 Myr, suggesting that star formation is rapid. However, small numbers of stars in these regions with inferred…
Extended UV Disks and UV-Bright Disks in Low-Mass E/S0 Galaxies
Amanda J. Moffett, Sheila J. Kannappan, Andrew J. Baker +1
We have identified 15 XUV disks in a largely field sample of 38 E/S0 galaxies with stellar masses primarily below ~4 x 10^10 M_sun and comparable numbers on the red and blue sequen…
Complete Equivalence Between Gluon Tree Amplitudes in Twistor String Theory and in Gauge Theory
Louise Dolan, Peter Goddard
The gluon tree amplitudes of open twistor string theory, defined as contour integrals over the ACCK link variables, are shown to satisfy the BCFW relations, thus confirming that th…
On the regularity of the flow map for the gravity-capillary equations
Robin Ming Chen, Jeremy L. Marzuola, Daniel Spirn +1
We prove via explicitly constructed initial data that solutions to the gravity-capillary wave system in representing a 2d air-water interface immediately fails to be…
Dark Matter from Binary Tetrahedral Flavor Symmetry
David A. Eby, Paul H. Frampton
The minimal renormalizable T'xZ2 model (MRT'M) is slightly extended in its Higgs scalar sector such that the abelian part of the flavor symmetry enlarges to (Z2xZ2'). All standard…
The Highly Energetic Expansion of SN2010bh Associated with GRB 100316D
Filomena Bufano, Elena Pian, Jesper Sollerman +50
We present the spectroscopic and photometric evolution of the nearby (z = 0.059) spectroscopically confirmed type Ic supernova, SN 2010bh, associated with the soft, long-duration g…
Measurement of airborne fission products in Chapel Hill, NC, USA from the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactor accident
S. MacMullin, G. K. Giovanetti, M. P. Green +4
We present measurements of airborne fission products in Chapel Hill, NC, USA, from 62 days following the March 11, 2011, accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. Air…
Resolving the Galaxies within a Giant Lya Nebula: Witnessing the Formation of a Galaxy Group?
Moire K. M. Prescott, Arjun Dey, Mark Brodwin +8
Detailed analysis of the substructure of Lya nebulae can put important constraints on the physical mechanisms at work and the properties of galaxies forming within them. Using high…
Aerodynamics of the Smallest Flying Insects
Laura A. Miller, Steven Harenber, Ty Hedrick +3
We present fluid dynamics videos of the flight of some of the smallest insects including the jewel wasp, \textit{Ampulex compressa}, and thrips, \textit{Thysanoptera} spp. The frui…
The trapping and escape of buoyant vortex rings in sharply stratified fluids
R. Camassa, S. Khatri, R. McLaughlin +6
In this fluid dynamics video we study the dynamics of miscible vortex rings falling in ambient strongly (near two-layer) stratified fluid. Experiments and direct numerical simulati…
