Time and charge measurements over a large dynamic range from 1 Photo Electron (P.E.) to 4000 P.E. are required for the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA), which is one of the key components in the Large High Altitude Air Shower…
Detection of millikelvin-level signals from the 'Cosmic Dawn' requires an unprecedented level of sensitivity and systematic calibration. We report the theory behind a novel calibration algorithm developed from the formalism introduced by…
Continuum reverberation mapping (RM) is a powerful technique for constraining the accretion disk structure in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In typical cases, the shorter-wavelength emission is used as the reference, and a positive time lag…
