Author(s): Huan Yang This work explores the connection between two attributes of black holes currently of intense interest, namely their shadows and their quasinormal modes. It establishes a mapping between the shadow of a Kerr black hole and a family of its quasinormal modes within a certain range of its parameters and discusses the possibility of testing the map with space based gravitational wave detectors and the next generation Event Horizon...

Author(s): T. Albahri et al. (Muon g−2 Collaboration) Measurements of the muon magnetic moment strengthen a previously reported tension with theoretical predictions, ushering in a new era of precision tests of the standard model. [Phys. Rev. D 103, 072002] Published Wed Apr 07, 2021

Author(s): Matthew Dodelson and Hirosi Ooguri The authors investigate singularities of 2-point functions in CFTs at finite temperature as they appear in the holographic dual description, namely along null-geodesics in the bulk geometry. Finite temperature implies that the geometry of the holographic dual description is a rather involved one with black holes, however, the authors apply a number of clever approximations to compute string theory...

Author(s): Li Huang, Samuel D. Lane, Ian M. Lewis, and Zhen Liu Electroweak symmetry breaking is a key feature of the Standard Model, and at high energies we should see “restoration” of the full symmetry. In this paper, the authors show how the Vh channel can be used to observe this phenomenon at the LHC, effectively demonstrating the Goldstone Boson Equivalence Theorem in practice. [Phys. Rev.

Author(s): Emmanuel Schaan et al. (Atacama Cosmology Telescope Collaboration) The imprint left on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from CMB photons scattering off high-energy electrons in galaxies and clusters is known as the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect and is the subject of these two papers from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). ACT measurements combined with those of Planck and BOSS are shown to provide a rich picture of the electron...
