Search for dark photon decays to μ+μ- at NA62

Radoslav Marchevski, Alina Kleimenova

The NA62 experiment at CERN, designed to study the ultra-rare decay K+ -> pi(+) nu(nu) over bar, has also collected data in beam-dump mode. In this configuration, dark photons may be produced by protons dumped on an absorber and reach a decay volume beginn ...

Microscopic interplay of temperature and disorder of a one-dimensional elastic interface

Thierry Giamarchi, Elisabeth Agoritsas

Elastic interfaces display scale-invariant geometrical fluctuations at sufficiently large lengthscales. Their asymptotic static roughness then follows a power-law behavior, whose associated exponent provides a robust signature of the universality class to ...

Interventions for Softening Can Lead to Hardening of Opinions: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial

Robert West, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Andreas Oliver Spitz

Motivated by the goal of designing interventions for softening polarized opinions on the Web, and building on results from psychology, we hypothesized that people would be moved more easily towards opposing opinions when the latter were voiced by a celebri ...

Evidence of a coupled electron-phonon liquid in NbGe2

Mathieu François Padlewski, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Hao Yang

Whereas electron-phonon scattering relaxes the electron's momentum in metals, a perpetual exchange of momentum between phonons and electrons may conserve total momentum and lead to a coupled electron-phonon liquid. Such a phase of matter could be a platfor ...

Is there a difference in how people from different socio-environmental contexts perceive discomfort due to glare from daylight?

Magali Bodart, Jan Wienold, Clotilde Marie A Pierson

Exposure to daylight has much to offer and should be optimised to maximise its potential. In order to harvest its benefits, any visual discomfort from daylight should be anticipated and minimised. Hence, there is the need to predict discomfort from dayligh ...

Characterization of the Renin-Angiotensin System in Aged Cavernosal Tissue and its Role in Penile Fibrosis

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Mikaël Nils Sturny, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Maiia Bragina, Babak Ebadi Shirmard

Background: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in erectile function. The RAS contains 2 major axes: one deleterious, composed of ACE-Ang II-AT1 receptor, and another protective, composed of ACE2-Ang-(1-7)-Mas receptor. While aging i ...

Quasi-continuous unconscious processing precedes discrete conscious perception

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Perception seems to be a continuous stream and, for this reason, we often implicitly assume that perception is continuous. In fact, many models of vision rely explicitly and implicitly on continuous perception. However, continuous perception is challenged ...
