Using the full four-year SPTpol 500 deg$^2$ dataset in both the 95 GHz and 150 GHz frequency bands, we present measurements of the temperature and $E$-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), as well as the $E$-mode…
We report the first hard X-ray observations with NuSTAR of the BL Lac type blazar PKS 2155-304, augmented with soft X-ray data from XMM-Newton and gamma-ray data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope, obtained in April 2013 when the source…
The rapidly growing interest in simulating condensed-phase materials using quantum chemistry methods calls for a library of high-quality Gaussian basis sets suitable for periodic calculations. Unfortunately, most standard Gaussian basis…
We study the polarisation properties of extragalactic sources at 95 and 150 GHz in the SPTpol 500 deg$^2$ survey. We estimate the polarised power by stacking maps at known source positions, and correct for noise bias by subtracting the mean…
The prospects for the analysis of tau channels at the SUSY benchmark point SPS1a', especially from e+e- -> stau_1 stau_1 and e+e- -> stau_2 stau_2, have been studied in full simulation of the ILD detector concept forseen for the…
We present some first results on the variability, polarization and general properties of radio sources selected in a blind survey at 20 GHz, the highest frequency at which a sensitive radio survey has been carried out over a large area of…
The Atom-Calibrated Basis-set Extrapolation (ACBE) method is introduced as a robust approach for extrapolating MP2 correlation energies from small basis sets. Unlike conventional extrapolation techniques, ACBE incorporates system- and…
Short-range repulsion within inter-molecular force fields is conventionally described by either Lennard-Jones (${A}/{r^{12}}$) or Born-Mayer ($A\exp(-Br)$) forms. Despite their widespread use, these simple functional forms are often unable…
A general procedure for the optimization of atomic density-fitting basis functions is designed with the balance between accuracy and numerical stability in mind. Given one-electron wavefunctions and energies, weights are assigned to the…
Deep-lying core electrons carry highly localized, site-specific information that forms the basis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Accurately predicting their associated core ionization potentials (IPs) is a demanding theoretical task,…
