Design of ALPHA Phase I: A Plasma Haloscope for 10--20 GHz Post-Inflation Axions
ALPHA Collaboration, Xiran Bai, Rustam Balafendiev +54
The axion is a well-motivated hypothetical particle capable of resolving both the strong CP problem and the dark matter mystery, with recent post-inflationary cosmological simulati…
Discovery is not the opposite of application
Hiranya V. Peiris
Restructuring research funding as a choice between discovery and application gets the economics wrong, the evidence wrong and the people wrong.
Rapid and robust simulation-based inference for kilonovae
Stephanie M. Brown, Mattia Bulla, Hiranya V. Peiris +6
With the next generation of both electromagnetic and gravitational wave observatories beginning to come online, rapid analysis methods for kilonova data are becoming increasingly i…
Functional Emotions or Situational Contexts? A Discriminating Test from the Mythos Preview System Card
Hiranya V. Peiris
The Claude Mythos Preview system card deploys emotion vectors, sparse autoencoder (SAE) features, and activation verbalisers to study model internals during misaligned behaviour. T…
Particle Physics and Gravitational Waves as complementary windows on the Universe
Steven D. Bass, Laura Baudis, Gianfranco Bertone +16
Particle physics and gravitational waves provide complementary probes of the deep structure of the Universe. Gravitational waves from the mergers of neutron stars and black holes a…
Impact of redshift distribution uncertainties on Lyman-break galaxy cosmological parameter inference
Francesco Petri, Boris Leistedt, Daniel J. Mortlock +5
A significant number of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) with redshifts 3 < z < 5 are expected to be observed by the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (…
