This paper considers the effects of small highly contrasted particles on the subwavelength resonances of a system of high-contrast resonators, with an application to sensing. The key technique is a multiple scattering expansion of the…
A brief review of the background for experiments at future electron-positron linear colliders is done. Two sources of background are discussed: the beam delivery system and the interaction point. The abundance of background muons, neutrons,…
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are one of very few probes of cosmology before Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). We point out that in scenarios in which the Universe evolves in a non-standard manner during and after WIMP kinetic…

The adiabatic perturbation of dark matter is damped during the kinetic decoupling due to the collision with relativistic component on sub-horizon scales. However the isocurvature part is free from damping and could be large enough to make a…

In this paper, we investigate the perturbations in matter bounce induced from Lee-Wick lagrangian with the involvement of non-minimal coupling to the Einstein Gravity. We find that this extra non-minimal coupling term can cause a red-tilt…
We investigate the effect of foreground residuals in the WMAP data (Bennet et al. 2004) by adding foreground contamination to Gaussian ensembles of CMB signal and noise maps. We evaluate a set of non-Gaussian estimators on the contaminated…
The interference between resonance signal and continuum background can be either constructive or destructive, depending on the relative sign of couplings between the signal and background amplitudes. Different interference schemes lead to…

Within the derivative expansion of conformally reduced gravity, the modified split Ward identities are shown to be compatible with the flow equations if and only if either the anomalous dimension vanishes or the cutoff profile is chosen to…
