Interactive 3D data visualization plays a key role in HEP experiments, as it is used in many tasks at different levels of the data chain. Outside HEP, for interactive [...]

Cosmic rays are deemed to be generated by a process known as “Fermi acceleration” in which charged particles scatter against magnetic fluctuations in astrophysical plasma [...]

We consider theories of gauged quark flavor and identify noninvertible Peccei-Quinn symmetries arising from fractional instantons when the resulting gauge group has nontr [...]

We consider an experimentalist, Alice, who creates a quantum superposition of a charged or massive body outside of a black hole (or, more generally, in the presence of [...]

Gauge anomalous quantum field theories are inconsistent as full UV theories since they lead to the breaking of Lorentz invariance or unitarity, as well as nonrenormalizab [...]

Global symmetries greatly enrich the landscape of topological quantum phases, playing an essential role from topological insulators to fractional quantum Hall effect. [...]

The size, density, and chemical characteristics of solar system bodies have been shaped by material transport during the protoplanetary disk stage. This includes transpor [...]

The weathering and erosion of emerged land profoundly influences the Earth system, including the composition of the atmosphere and the type of nutrients delivered to the [...]

In this work, we investigate a largely unexplored nongeometric corner of the string landscape: the quasicrystalline orbifolds. These exist at special points of the Narain [...]

We outline a fundamentally quantum description of bosonic dark matter (DM) from which the conventional classical-wave picture emerges in the limit $m ≪ 10  eV$. As approp [...]

Collisionless shock waves, found in supernova remnants, interstellar, stellar, and planetary environments, and laboratories, are one of nature’s most powerful particle ac [...]

It was previously shown that if an experimenter, Alice, puts a massive or charged body in a quantum spatial superposition, then the presence of a black hole (or more gene [...]

Crystallization of the lunar magma ocean yielded a chemically unique liquid residuum named KREEP. This component is expressed as a large patch on the near side of the Moo [...]

We extend the swampland from effective field theories (EFTs) inconsistent with quantum gravity to EFTs inconsistent with quantum supergravity. This enlarges the swampland [...]

Low-mass (sub-eV) scalar field dark matter may induce apparent oscillations of fundamental constants, resulting in corresponding oscillations of the size and the index of [...]

The diphoton channel at lepton colliders, $e^+e^-⁡(μ^+⁢μ^−)→γγ$, has a remarkable feature that the leading new physics contribution comes only from dimension-eight operat [...]

The 96.4 day exposure of a 3 kg ultralow noise germanium detector to the high flux of antineutrinos from a power nuclear reactor is described. A very strong preference $( [...]

We demonstrate two-dimensional arrays of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) as a new experimental platform with parallel quantum simulation capability. A defect-free array [...]

We present the first search for the pair production of dark particles $X$ via $K^0_L → XX$ with $X$ decaying into two photons using the data collected by the KOTO experim [...]

We report constraints on sub-GeV dark matter particles interacting with electrons from the first underground operation of DAMIC-M detectors. The search is performed with [...]

Bistable objects that are pushed between states by an external field are often used as a simple model to study memory formation in disordered materials. Such systems, cal [...]

Dark matter (DM) particles with sufficiently large cross sections may scatter as they travel through Earth’s bulk. The corresponding changes in the DM flux give rise to a [...]

We introduce a modification to the standard expression for tree-level violation in scattering processes at the LHC, which is important when the initial state is not self- [...]

We construct the first comprehensive radioactive background model for a dark matter search with charge-coupled devices (CCDs). We leverage the well-characterized depth an [...]

The COHERENT experiment is well poised to test sub-GeV dark matter models using detectors sensitive to coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) in the 𝜋+ [...]
