The dynamically driven double degenerate double detonation (D$^6$) model has emerged as a promising progenitor scenario for Type Ia supernovae. In this model, a carbon-oxygen white dwarf (WD) in a close double WD binary undergoes a double-detonation triggered by dynamical mass transfer from its companion. The mass transfer stream...
In recent years, chiral quantum optics has emerged as an active research area due to the promising applications in quantum information processing as well as nonlinear optics. We present results on the properties of the incoherent component of the transmitted light after transmons chirally coupled to a waveguide. The well-known...
In this work we extrapolate the separatrix operational space (SepOS) projections to SPARC and introduce detachment access criteria, thus formulating the combined power exhaust constrained SepOS (i.e., PE-SepOS) to evaluate integrated power exhaust solutions at scale. Through the interpretation of SPARC SOLPS-ITER datasets and...
We study the partition function of five-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ $U(N)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with an adjoint hypermultiplet of mass $m_{\rm adj}$ on a toric Kähler surface $S$ times a circle of radius $\boldsymbolβ$. Extending earlier work in $\mathcal{N}=2^*$ SYM theory on $S$, and in pure $\mathcal{N}=1$ SYM on...
We study an inverse problem for generalized Runcorn's theorem motivated by an apparent paradox of lunar magnetism. In mathematical terms, we characterize square-integrable complex functions $f$ such that $$ \int_{\{ x\in\mathbb{R}^n : a \leq |x| \leq b \}} f(x) \nabla u(x)\cdot\nabla v(x)\,\mathrm{d}\mathrm{V}(x) = 0 $$ for every...
Characters of rational conformal field theories solve modular linear differential equations labelled by their order and the Wronskian index $\ell$. Direct classification of admissible solutions by solving MLDEs becomes increasingly difficult at higher $\ell$ -- where movable poles and accessory parameters appear. In this work we...
We study entanglement entropy in Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) using the dipole formulation of the high-energy limit of QCD. We argue that a reduced density matrix arises in low $x$ DIS due to a trace over unobserved color degrees of freedom and we obtain entanglement entropy in terms of dipole multiplicities, directly from the von...
We compute the viscoelastic and thermal response of non-homogeneous hadronic condensates at finite baryon density representing crystals of baryonic tubes and layers. We describe them using analytic solutions of the Skyrme model in $3+1$ dimensions as ground states for a perturbative approach. At low enough temperatures, the...
The multiscan method is widely used in femtosecond laser writing of waveguide systems to increase the refractive index contrast and to control the eigenmode shape. Here, we investigate multiscan writing with a constant effective writing speed and show that the displacement between adjacent scans provides an additional degree of...
The motion of liquids and soft matter is over-damped and `slow' when viscosity dominates. In this (low Reynolds-number) limit and when the system is isothermal, the equations of motion may be generated via Onsager's variational principle, which neglects inertia. This variational approach is immensely powerful, being used to obtain...
The former CERN RD50 collaboration develops monolithic active pixel high voltage (HV) CMOS sensors for future colliders with the aim of high radiation tolerance, good time resolution, and high granularity pixel detectors. The most recent prototype, the RD50-MPW4, was produced by LFoundry in December 2023 using a 150 nm CMOS process....
Where do the Standard Model's internal symmetries come from? Treating $\mathbb{O}\oplus\mathbb{H}\oplus\mathbb{C}\oplus\mathbb{R}$ as a module for its own multiplication algebra enables a particular origin story for the Standard Model's pre-Higgs, $\mathfrak{g}_{SM}:=\mathfrak{su}(3)_{C} \oplus \mathfrak{su}(2)_{L} \oplus...
We map the observational predictions of cosmological stasis in the inflationary gravitational wave background onto the sensitivity bands of current and planned gravitational wave detectors. Using the closed-form piecewise spectral template derived in the companion paper, we generate detectability maps for four stasis scenarios:...
Feedback plays a significant role in biochemical networks that govern a multitude of cellular functions, including development, adaptation, and homeostasis. Yet, how feedback topology controls stochastic fluctuations remains incompletely understood. Here, we develop a theoretical framework for two-node feedback motifs composed of...
Understanding how cooperation persists despite the advantage of selfish behavior remains a central challenge in evolutionary dynamics. Classical models of public goods dilemmas predict dominance of defectors, yet natural and social systems often sustain cooperation. We study an eco-evolutionary public goods game on complex networks...
We develop a unified framework for metallic and superconducting phases obtained by doping a fractional Chern insulator (FCI) with $C=1/3$. Starting from the parton construction $c(\mathbf r)=f_1(\mathbf r)f_2(\mathbf r)f_3(\mathbf r)$, the low-energy theory has $SU(3)_{\mathrm{gauge}}\times SU(3)_{\mathrm{valley}}$ symmetry and nine...
Recent DESI results exhibit preference for a Null Energy Condition violating dynamical dark energy, with early phantom behaviour. We explore an alternative interpretation in which this preference arises from unconventional dark matter dynamics rather than from dynamical dark energy. We propose a dynamical dark matter (DDM) model, with...
Future interferometers may detect a gravitational-wave (GW) signal from a cosmological first-order phase transition. Reconstructing the underlying particle-physics model from such a signal requires theoretical control over the map from microphysics to the spectrum. For classically scale-invariant extensions of the Standard Model,...
Constraining local primordial non-Gaussianity through scale-dependent bias requires an accurate determination of the PNG bias parameter $b_φ$, which is completely degenerate with $f_\mathrm{NL}$ in the galaxy power spectrum. The standard universality relation predicts $b_φ$ from the linear bias, but breaks down for realistic galaxy...
We re-investigate the open cluster UBC 63 using the Gaia DR3 data and show that, rather than being a single cluster as previously classified, it is a compelling candidate for a double cluster undergoing an unbound flyby interaction. A GMM decomposition performed in the 5D astrometric space reveals the two statistically distinct...
Massive cosmological correlators exhibit a rich hypergeometric structure already at tree level, reflecting the distorted propagation of particles in de Sitter spacetime. In this paper, we reveal that this apparent complexity conceals a remarkably simple underlying mathematical structure. Using the spectral representation, we compute...
We present HyperIso, a new standalone program for the evaluation of flavour physics observables across a wide variety of Standard Model (SM) and Beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) scenarios. The code builds on the physics heritage of SuperIso, but is implemented as a new modular software package with a modern C++ core and multiple user...
Magnetometers are among the most widely used probes in science and technology. Comagnetometers increase sensitivity by self-cancellation of magnetic noise, but only at low frequencies. We suggest a correlated measurement of two alkali species in one cell to cancel the magnetic background also at high frequencies. The inter-species...
We perform a search for continuous gravitational waves from J0435+3233 using LIGO O4a public data. J0435+3233 is unique among millisecond pulsars as it exhibits an exceptionally large spin-down and marks the first pulsar observed to date with a spin-down larger than $10^{-12}$ Hz/s in the sub $10$ ms spin period range, making it a...
Non-Abelian gauge fields play a key role in describing the behavior of particles whose motion is coupled to internal degrees of freedom, such as their spin. Here, we experimentally realize a tuneable non-Abelian gauge field in an active mechanical lattice by using pairs of oscillators to encode a local pseudo-spin for each site, with...
