Minimum lifetime of a black hole

Eugenio Bianchi, Matthew Brandsema, Kenneth Czuprynski +1

We derive bounds on the lifetime of an evaporating black hole. The bound follows from energy conservation and purification, within the framework of `asymptotically semiclassical sp…

Cyclotron Radiation Signal Characterization in Resonant Cavities for the Project 8 Neutrino Mass Experiment

A. Ashtari Esfahani, S. Bhagvati, H. P. Binney +60

Many experimental methods in physics require understanding radiation from single particles into non-trivial electromagnetic mode structures. Such characterization is critical for C…

Dynamics of Magnetic Evaporative Beamline Cooling for Preparation of Cold Atomic Beams

A. Ashtari Esfahani, S. Bhagvati, S. Böser +55

The most sensitive direct neutrino mass searches today are based on measurement of the endpoint of the beta spectrum of tritium to infer limits on the mass of the unobserved neutri…

Chiral Spontaneous Photon-Pair Generation with Plasmonic Bound States in the Continuum

Sky Semone, Matthew J. Brandsema, Christos Argyropoulos

Spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) has proven to be a robust and prominent method for creating non-classical light sources of entangled single-photon pairs. However, suc…
