Assessing Alternatives for Directional Detection of a WIMP Halo
Craig J. Copi, Lawrence M. Krauss, David Simmons-Duffin +1
The future of direct terrestrial WIMP detection lies on two fronts: new, much larger low background detectors sensitive to energy deposition, and detectors with directional sensiti…

The Cornell High-order Adaptive Optics Survey for Brown Dwarfs in Stellar Systems-I: Observations, Data Reduction, and Detection Analysis
J. C. Carson, S. S. Eikenberry, B. R. Brandl +2
In this first of a two-paper sequence, we report techniques and results of the Cornell High-order Adaptive Optics Survey for brown dwarf companions (CHAOS). At the time of this wri…

3D simulations of linearized scalar fields in Kerr spacetime
Mark A. Scheel, Adrienne L. Erickcek, Lior M. Burko +3
We investigate the behavior of a dynamical scalar field on a fixed Kerr background in Kerr-Schild coordinates using a 3+1 dimensional spectral evolution code, and we measure the po…
