Massive elliptical galaxies, that serve as lenses in gravitational lensing time delay measurements of the Hubble parameter $H_0$, often reside in a host group. We consider degeneracies in the modeling of the group halo. When the group…
The unique properties of topological semimetals have strongly driven efforts to seek for new topological phases and related materials. Here, we identify a critical condition for the existence of linked nodal rings (LNRs) in symmorphic…
The electroweak sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) - neutralinos, charginos and sleptons - remains relatively weakly constrained at the LHC due in part to the small production cross sections of these particles. In…
We study the nontrivial linear magnon band crossings in the collinear antiferromagnets on the two-dimensional (2D) CaVO lattice, also realized in some iron-based superconductors such as AFe$_{1.6+x}$Se$_2$ (A = K, Rb, Cs). It is shown that…
Correlated electrons often crystalize to the Mott insulator usually with some magnetic orders, whereas the "quantum spin liquid" has been a long-sought issue. We report numerical evidences that a nonmagnetic insulating (NMI) phase gets…
We study the LHC discovery potential in the search for heavy neutral leptons (HNL) with a new signature: a displaced shower in the CMS muon detector, giving rise to a large cluster of hits forming a displaced shower. A new Delphes module is…
We use high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations run with the EAGLE model of galaxy formation to study the differences between the properties of - and subsequently the lensing signal from - subhaloes of massive elliptical galaxies at…
The use of high quality hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) as a dielectric material has made possible the realization of graphene devices with very high mobility. In addition hBN can be made as thin as few atomic layers and, as recently…
Nodal line semimetals are characterized by symmetry-protected band crossing lines and are expected to exhibit nontrivial electronic properties. Connections of the multiple nodal lines, resulting in nodal nets, chains, or links, are…
Quantitative susceptibility maps from magnetic resonance images can provide both prognostic and diagnostic information in multiple sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the formation of lesions in white matter brain…
Nodal loops in two-dimensional (2D) systems are typically vulnerable against spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Here, we explore 2D systems with a type of doubly degenerate nodal loops that are robust under SOC and feature an hourglass type…
A quasi-microscopic treatment of edge magnetoplasmons (EMP) is presented for very low temperatures and confining potentials smooth on the scale of the magnetic length $\ell_{0}$ but sufficiently steep at the edges such that Landau level…
We reveal how symmetry protected nodal points in topological semimetals may be promoted to pairs of generically stable exceptional points (EPs) by symmetry-breaking fluctuations at the onset of long-range order. This novel route to…
Topological metals and semimetals (TMs) have recently drawn significant interest. These materials give rise to condensed matter realizations of many important concepts in high-energy physics, leading to wide-ranging protected properties in…
Space group symmetries dictate the energy degeneracy of quasiparticles (e.g., electronic, photonic) in crystalline structures. For spinless systems, there can only be double or triple degeneracies protected by these symmetries, while other…
Topological defects, called magnetic hedgehogs, realize emergent magnetic monopoles, which are not allowed in the ordinary electromagnetism described by Maxwell's equations. Such monopoles were experimentally discovered in magnets in two…
Recently, topological quantum states of non-Hermitian systems, exhibiting rich new exotic states, have attracted great attention in condensed-matter physics. As for the demonstration, most of non-Hermitian topological phenomena previously…
Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs) with masses $\mathcal{O}(0.1 - 1\,\,\text{GeV}/c^{2})$ are promising candidates for the simultaneous explanation of the smallness of the observed neutrino masses as well as the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the…
We present spectroscopic observations of 27 active galactic nuclei (AGN) with some of the lowest black hole (BH) masses known. We use the high spectral resolution and small aperture of our Keck data, taken with the Echellette Spectrograph…
A search is performed for long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs), produced through the decay of a $W$ boson along with a muon or electron. Two channels are explored: a leptonic channel, in which the HNL decays into two leptons and a…
