Characterization of High Harmonic Frequencies in Reactor Noise Experiments Within the CORTEX Project

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand

We present a novel technique of neutron noise detection and experimental data interpretation developed during the EU H2020 project CORTEX aiming to improve the capabilities for identification and localization of neutron noise sources. The experimental data ...

Potential of Radio Telescopes as High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Detectors

Valerie Fiona Domcke

In the presence of magnetic fields, gravitational waves are converted into photons and vice versa. We demonstrate that this conversion leads to a distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which can serve as a detector for MHz to GHz gravitationa ...

Challenges and opportunities of gravitational-wave searches at MHz to GHz frequencies

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Valerie Fiona Domcke

The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges and gains expected in gravitational-wave searches at frequencies above the ...

Stochastic gravitational-wave background from metastable cosmic strings

Valerie Fiona Domcke

A metastable cosmic-string network is a generic consequence of many grand unified theories (GUTs) when combined with cosmic inflation. Metastable cosmic strings are not topologically stable, but decay on cosmic time scales due to pair production of GUT mon ...

Higgs inflation in Einstein-Cartan gravity

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Inar Timiryasov, Andrey Shkerin, Sebastian Zell

We study inflation driven by the Higgs field in the Einstein-Cartan formulation of gravity. In this theory, the presence of the Holst and Nieh-Yan terms with the Higgs field non-minimally coupled to them leads to three additional coupling constants. For a ...

Relic Gravitational Waves from the Chiral Magnetic Effect

Salim Bennouna

Relic gravitational waves (GWs) can be produced by primordial magnetic fields. However, not much is known about the resulting GW amplitudes and their dependence on the details of the generation mechanism. Here we treat magnetic field generation through the ...

Atomic layer deposition of Ni and Ni80Fe20 for tubular spin-wave nanocavities

Maria Carmen Giordano

Magnetic thin films and magnetic nanostructures have become essential components of modern technological applications. Modern branches of magnetisms focus on spin-charge coupling (spintronics) and the collective excitation of spin waves in magnetically ord ...

Efficient algorithms for wave problems

Boris Bonev

Wave phenomena manifest in nature as electromagnetic waves, acoustic waves, and gravitational waves among others. Their descriptions as partial differential equations in electromagnetics, acoustics, and fluid dynamics are ubiquitous in science and engineer ...

Pressure on obstacles induced by granular snow avalanches

Michael Lukas Kyburz

The increasing population and the consequential demand for dwelling and recreation areas lead to more frequent conflicts between humans and natural hazards. In mountainous regions snow avalanches are, therefore, still a major threat to humans and infrastru ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: 1000 multi-tracer mock catalogues with redshift evolution and systematics for galaxies and quasars of the final data release

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Amélie Tamone

We produce 1000 realizations of synthetic clustering catalogues for each type of the tracers used for the baryon acoustic oscillation and redshift space distortion analysis of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Surve ...

Time delay lens modelling challenge

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan

In recent years, breakthroughs in methods and data have enabled gravitational time delays to emerge as a very powerful tool to measure the Hubble constant H-0. However, published state-of-the-art analyses require of order 1 yr of expert investigator time a ...

Linearized supergravity with a dynamical preferred frame

Sergey Sibiryakov

We study supersymmetric extension of the Einstein-aether gravitational model where local Lorentz invariance is broken down to the subgroup of spatial rotations by a vacuum expectation value of a timelike vector field called aether. Embedding aether into a ...
