Multi-pulse Fourier codes for bit transmission at the quantum limit by Matteo Rosati

“…We show that multi-pulse codes can approach the rate of OOK closely, providing a simplified design for quantum-enhanced communication in the photon-starved regime; furthermore, multi-level codes can approach generalized-OOK strategies with multiple pulse types, thus they can be employed in the larger photon-number regime.…”

Searching for string bosenovas with gravitational wave detectors by Dawid Brzeminski, Anson Hook, Junwu Huang, Clayton Ristow

“…During the superradiance growth of a dark photon cloud — which occurs for dark photon masses m A ′ ~ 10 − 14 − 10 − 11 eV $$ {m}_{A^{\prime }}\sim {10}^{-14}-{10}^{-11}\textrm{eV} $$ around stellar-mass black holes ( m A ′ ~ 10 − 23 − 10 − 16 eV $$ {m}_{A^{\prime }}\sim {10}^{-23}-{10}^{-16}\textrm{eV} $$ for supermassive black holes) — the dark electromagnetic field might reach a critical field strength, when a network of dark photon strings is produced via a superheated phase transition. …”

On the Primary Ionization Mechanism(s) in Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization by Laura Molin, Roberta Seraglia, Zbigniew Czarnocki, Jan K. Maurin, Franciszek A. Pluciński, Pietro Traldi

“…The laser irradiation leads to the cleavage of these hydrogen bonds, and theoretical calculations show that both [Ma+H]+ and [Ma-H]- ions can be formed through a two-photon absorption process. Alternatively, by the absorption of one photon only, a heterodissociation of one of the O–H bonds can lead to a stable structure containing both cationic and anionic sites. …”

Proposal to use LHC general-purpose detectors in “beam-dump” measurements for long-lived particles by Bhaskar Dutta, Doojin Kim, Hyunyong Kim

“…For proof of principles, we consider the axion-like particles (ALPs) produced via the Primakoff process in the presence of their interaction with photons at CMS. We argue that the drift tube chambers and the ME0 module of the muon system can serve as detectors to record the photons from the ALP decay, demonstrating that assuming the background level can be controlled as discussed in this work, the resulting sensitivity reach is competitive due to their close proximity to the signal source points. …”

The two-loop coefficient functions for double deeply virtual Compton scattering by Vladimir M. Braun, Hua-Yu Jiang, Alexander N. Manashov, Andreas von Manteuffel

“…Abstract Making use of conformal symmetry of large-n f QCD in d = 4 – 2ϵ dimensions at the Wilson-Fischer fixed point, we calculate the two-loop coefficient functions in the operator product expansion of two electromagnetic currents in general kinematics with two different photon virtualities. This result is necessary for the description of the double deeply virtual Compton scattering to the next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy, but is also interesting for a range of other two-photon processes. …”
