  1. Boson star-black hole binaries: initial data and head-on collisions

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A one-body conformal-factor correction stabilizes boson star-black hole initial data, enabling gravitational-wave analysis that shows higher multipoles can discriminate mixed mergers from pure black-hole binaries.

  2. Cosmological Dynamics of a Non-Canonical Generalised Brans-Dicke Theory

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A non-canonical generalized Brans-Dicke theory admits background cosmological solutions matching Lambda CDM characteristics for constant, power-law, and exponential potentials, with dynamics distinct from other scalar...

  3. Gauge invariant perturbations of $F(T,T_G)$ Cosmology

    gr-qc 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Derives gauge-invariant perturbation equations for F(T, T_G) cosmology and provides physical interpretations for new contributions in each mode.

  4. The Remote Analog to Digital Conversion DAQ System for the TRISTAN Detector Upgrade

    physics.ins-det 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A custom remote ADC DAQ system with flexible signal processing has been designed and constructed to handle 10^5 counts per second from over 1000 silicon drift detector pixels for precision tritium beta-decay spectroscopy.

  5. MUltiplexed Survey Telescope (MUST) Science White Paper I: Overview of Large-Scale Structure Cosmology in the Era of Stage-V Spectroscopic Surveys

    MUST is a planned 6.5m Stage-V spectroscopic survey telescope targeting 100M+ galaxies and quasars to z~5.5 for large-scale structure cosmology studies.

  6. Flavor as an Incomplete Structure: Conceptual Questions and the Role of DUNE

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    DUNE's long-baseline program combined with near-detector and PRISM strategies is argued to be well-suited for detecting correlated deviations from the minimal three-flavor neutrino framework.

  7. CMB-S4 Science Case, Reference Design, and Project Plan

    astro-ph.IM 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Presents the science case, reference design, and project plan for the CMB-S4 ground-based CMB experiment.

  8. Flavor as an Incomplete Structure: Conceptual Questions and the Role of DUNE

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Flavor is an incomplete structure in the SM whose limits DUNE can probe via oscillation data and BSM sensitivity.

  9. In the Realm of the Hubble tension $-$ a Review of Solutions

    astro-ph.CO 2021-03 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A review summarizing the Hubble constant tension and proposed solutions from new physics that restore agreement between Planck CMB data and local H0 measurements within 1-2 sigma.

  10. Neutrino Masses from the Point of View of Economy and Simplicity

    hep-ph 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Neutrino masses are unlikely to share the Standard Model origin of other fermion masses, with the Weinberg effective Lagrangian providing the simplest beyond-Standard-Model mechanism for small Majorana masses.
