Mergers Matter: Gravothermal Collapse in Dwarf Halos with Self-Interacting Dark Matter
Maya Silverman, Abdelaziz Hussein, Arpit Arora +8
Self-Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM) models with large cross sections at relative velocities below can be tested with dwarf galaxy observations. We ana…
Rising Stargirls: Benefits of a Creative Arts-Based Approach to Astronomy Education for Middle-School Girls from Underrepresented Groups
Maya Silverman, Aomawa L. Shields, Jessica N. Howard +2
Women from historically marginalized groups in the sciences continue to be severely underrepresented in the fields of physics and astronomy. Young girls identifying with these grou…
Motivations for a Large Self-Interacting Dark Matter Cross Section from Milky Way Satellites
Maya Silverman, James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat +2
We explore the properties of Milky Way subhalos in self-interacting dark matter models for moderate cross sections of 1 to 5 cmg using high-resolution zoom-in N-body sim…
Lessons from HAWC PWNe observations: the diffusion constant is not a constant; Pulsars remain the likeliest sources of the anomalous positron fraction; Cosmic rays are trapped for long periods of time in pockets of inefficient diffusion
Stefano Profumo, Javier Reynoso-Cordova, Nicholas Kaaz +1
Recent TeV observations of nearby pulsars with the HAWC telescope have been interpreted as evidence that the diffusion of high-energy electrons and positrons within pulsar wind neb…
Irradiation of Materials with Short, Intense Ion pulses at NDCX-II
P. A. Seidl, Q. Ji, A. Persaud +14
We present an overview of the performance of the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment-II (NDCX-II) accelerator at Berkeley Lab, and report on recent target experiments on beam…
Recent Experiments At Ndcx-II: Irradiation Of Materials Using Short, Intense Ion Beams
P. A. Seidl, Q. Ji, A. Persaud +14
We present an overview of the performance of the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment-II (NDCX-II) accelerator at Berkeley Lab, and summarize recent studies of material propert…
