Photoionization branching ratios of spin-orbit doublets far above thresholds: Interchannel and relativistic effects in the noble gases

Photoionization branching ratios of all of the spin-orbit doublets in the noble gas atoms Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe have been investigated theoretically at energies well above the thresholds. The results confirm in all cases that the general behavior of the branching ratios is to decrease monotonically below their statistical value with increasing photon energy. Here, this effect gets more pronounced with increasing Z. In addition, the branching ratios can be strongly affected by interchannel coupling with inner shell photoionization channels. Although these effects are strongest in the neighborhood of the inner shell thresholds, they can persist over a broad range of energies,

Evolution of non-Kramers doublets in magnetic field in PrNi 2 Cd 20 and PrPd 2 Cd 20

Praseodymium-based 1-2-20 cage compounds PrT 2 X 20 (T is generally Ti, V, Nb, Ru, Rh, Ir; and X is either Al, Zn, or Cd) provide yet another platform to study nontrivial electronic states of matter ranging from topological and magnetic orders to unconventional multipolar orders and superconductivity. In this paper, we report measurements of the electronic heat capacity in two Pr-based 1-2-20 materials: PrNi 2 Cd 20 and PrPd 2 Cd 20 . We find that the lowest-energy multiplet of the Pr 4f 2 valence configuration is a Γ 3 non-Kramers doublet and the first excited triplet is assumed to be a magnetic Γ 5 . By analyzing the dependence of the energy splitting between the ground and first excited singlet states on an external magnetic field, we found that the maximum in the heat capacity corresponding to the Schottky anomaly in PrPd 2 Cd 20 , unlike PrNi 2 Cd 20 , shows a pronounced linear dependence on an external magnetic field at higher field values. In conclusion, this effect is associated with the exchange interactions between the field-induced magnetic dipole moments.

Singlet-doublet dark matter revisited

The singlet-doublet model is an economical model of weakly interacting dark matter. We revisit it in light of improved dark matter direct detection limits. We characterize the now well-defined regions of remaining parameter space with suppressed direct detection cross sections and discuss features of the spectrum accessible at the Large Hadron Collider. We discuss when and how parameters in these special regions might be realized as the result of renormalization group evolution when starting with generic ultraviolet initial conditions.

Utah FORGE 8-3637: Integrated Diagnostics for Interpreting Doublet Heat Sweep Efficiency - 2024 Annual Workshop Presentation

This is a presentation on the Integrated Diagnostics for Interpreting Doublet Heat Sweep Efficiency by Texas Tech University, presented by Smith Leggett. This video slide presentation discusses the ID squared technical objectives to develop and integrate diagnostic tools to determine (1) the number of fractures, (2) the uniformity of flow distribution, (3) heat exchange areas, and (4) heat efficiency. This presentation was featured in the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on August 15, 2024.

Search for Neutrino Doublets and Triplets Using 11.4 yr of IceCube Data

We report a search for high-energy astrophysical neutrino multiplets, detections of multiple neutrino clusters in the same direction within 30 days, based on an analysis of 11.4 yr of IceCube data. A new search method optimized for transient neutrino emission with a monthly timescale is employed, providing a higher sensitivity to neutrino fluxes. This result is sensitive to neutrino transient emission, reaching per-flavor flux of approximately 10 -10 erg cm -2 s -1 from the Northern Sky in the energy range E ≳ 50 TeV. The number of doublets and triplets identified in this search is compatible with the atmospheric background hypothesis, which leads us to set limits on the nature of neutrino transient sources with emission timescales of one month.

Upper Bound on Parity Breaking Scale for Doublet WIMP Dark Matter

We consider weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter in a Parity solution to the strong CP problem. The WIMP phenomenology can be drastically affected by the presence of Parity partners of the WIMP and electroweak gauge bosons. We focus on a Parity extension of $SU(2)_L$-doublet fermion dark matter, identify the viable parameter space, and derive the predictions of the theory. We find that the Parity symmetry breaking scale is bounded from above, with the bound given by $25-60$ TeV, depending on whether or not dark matter and its Parity partner coannihilate with each other. The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, future colliders, and direct and indirect detection experiments can probe the parameter space further, with correlated signal rates.
