Directional Antineutrino Detection
Benjamin R. Safdi, Burkhant Suerfu
We propose the first truly directional antineutrino detector for antineutrinos above the hydrogen inverse beta decay (IBD) threshold, with potential applications including monitori…
Renyi entropy, stationarity, and entanglement of the conformal scalar
Jeongseog Lee, Aitor Lewkowycz, Eric Perlmutter +1
We extend previous work on the perturbative expansion of the Renyi entropy, , around for a spherical entangling surface in a general CFT. Applied to conformal scalar fie…
Measuring Anisotropies in the Cosmic Neutrino Background
Mariangela Lisanti, Benjamin R. Safdi, Christopher G. Tully
Neutrino capture on tritium has emerged as a promising method for detecting the cosmic neutrino background (CvB). We show that relic neutrinos are captured most readily when their…
Renyi Entropy and Geometry
Jeongseog Lee, Lauren McGough, Benjamin R. Safdi
Entanglement entropy in even dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) contains well-known universal terms arising from the conformal anomaly. Renyi entropies are natural general…
Annual Modulation of Cosmic Relic Neutrinos
Benjamin R. Safdi, Mariangela Lisanti, Joshua Spitz +1
The cosmic neutrino background (CvB), produced about one second after the Big Bang, permeates the Universe today. New technological advancements make neutrino capture on beta-decay…
Constraining Axion Dark Matter with Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Kfir Blum, Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo, Mariangela Lisanti +1
We show that Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) significantly constrains axion-like dark matter. The axion acts like an oscillating QCD angle that redshifts in the early universe,…
