Connection between scale breaking in deep inelastic processes and large-pT hadronic reactions

Physical Review Letters 36:24 (1976) 1418-1421

Authors:

RC Hwa, AJ Spiessbach, MJ Teper

Abstract:

Scaling violation in deep inelastic lepton-proton processes is shown to be related to the apparent pT-8 behavior of the large-pT pion inclusive distribution at s>23.5 GeV, within the framework of the quark-quark hard-collision model. Power-law scale-breaking fits of the structure functions as determined by the ep and μp data are used as inputs in our calculations. Excellent agreement with the high-energy data on large-pT pions is obtained in both the energy and xT dependences. No adjustable parameters are used except for one overall normalization. © 1976 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

During the first three flights of the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, the collaboration detected several neutrino candidates. Two of these candidate events were consistent with an ultra-high-energy up-going air shower and compatible with a tau neutrino interpretation. A third neutrino candidate event was detected in a search for Askaryan radiation in the Antarctic ice, although it is also consistent with the background expectation. The inferred emergence angle of the first two events is in tension with IceCube and ANITA limits on isotropic cosmogenic neutrino fluxes. Here, we test the hypothesis that these events are astrophysical in origin, possibly caused by a point source in the reconstructed direction. Given that any ultra-high-energy tau neutrino flux traversing the Earth should be accompanied by a secondary flux in the TeV-PeV range, we search for these secondary counterparts in seven years of IceCube data using three complementary approaches. In the absence of any significant detection, we set upper limits on the neutrino flux from potential point sources. We compare these limits to ANITA's sensitivity in the same direction and show that an astrophysical explanation of these anomalous events under standard model assumptions is severely constrained regardless of source spectrum or time profile.

Abstract:

We outline the experimental concept and key scientific capabilities of AION (Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network), a proposed UK-based experimental programme using cold strontium atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, to explore gravitational waves in the mid-frequency range between the peak sensitivities of the LISA and LIGO/Virgo/ KAGRA/INDIGO/Einstein Telescope/Cosmic Explorer experiments, and to probe other frontiers in fundamental physics. AION would complement other planned searches for dark matter, as well as probe mergers involving intermediate mass black holes and explore early universe cosmology. AION would share many technical features with the MAGIS experimental programme in the US, and synergies would flow from operating AION in a network with this experiment, as well as with other atom interferometer experiments such as MIGA, ZAIGA and ELGAR. Operating AION in a network with other gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO, Virgo and LISA would also offer many synergies.

Accurate Baryon Acoustic Oscillations Reconstruction via Semidiscrete Optimal Transport

Physical Review Letters, Volume 128, Issue 20, article id.201302

Authors:

Sebastian von Hausegger, Bruno Lévy, Roya Mohayaee

Abstract:

Optimal transport theory has recently re-emerged as a vastly resourceful field of mathematics with elegant applications across physics and computer science. Harnessing methods from geometry processing, we report on the efficient implementation for a specific problem in cosmology—the reconstruction of the linear density field from low redshifts, in particular the recovery of the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) scale. We demonstrate our algorithm's accuracy by retrieving the BAO scale in noiseless cosmological simulations that are dedicated to cancel cosmic variance; we find uncertainties to be reduced by a factor of 4.3 compared with performing no reconstruction, and a factor of 3.1 compared with standard reconstruction.
