Development of a 127Xe calibration source for nEXO
(IOP Publishing, 2022)
We study a possible calibration technique for the nEXO experiment using a 127Xe electron capture source. nEXO is a next-generation search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) that will use a 5-tonne, monolithic liquid ...
Antenna beam characterization for the global 21-cm experiment LEDA and its impact on signal model parameter reconstruction
(Oxford University Press, 2022)
Cosmic dawn, the onset of star formation in the early universe, can in principle be studied via the 21-cm transition of neutral hydrogen, for which a sky-averaged absorption signal, redshifted to MHz frequencies, is predicted ...
Constraining the neutrino mass using a multitracer combination of two galaxy surveys and cosmic microwave background lensing
(Oxford University Press, 2022)
Measuring the total neutrino mass is one of the most exciting opportunities available with next-generation cosmological data
sets. We study the possibility of detecting the total neutrino mass using large-scale clustering ...
Gaussian process regression for foreground removal in hi intensity mapping experiments
(Oxford University Press, 2022)
We apply for the first time Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) as a foreground removal technique in the context of single-dish, low redshift H I intensity mapping, and present an open-source PYTHON toolkit for doing so. We ...
Patterns of primary beam non-redundancy in close-packed 21 cm array observations
(Oxford University Press, 2021)
Radio interferometer arrays such as HERA consist of many close-packed dishes arranged in a regular pattern, giving rise to a
large number of ‘redundant’ baselines with the same length and orientation. Since identical ...
Probabilistic learning for pulsar classification
(IOP Publishing, 2022)
In this work, we explore the possibility of using probabilistic learning to identify
pulsar candidates. We make use of Deep Gaussian Process (DGP) and Deep Kernel Learning
(DKL). Trained on a balanced training set in ...
Hiflow: Generating diverse hi maps and inferring cosmology while marginalizing over astrophysics using normalizing flows
(IOP Publishing, 2022)
A wealth of cosmological and astrophysical information is expected from many ongoing and upcoming large-scale
surveys. It is crucial to prepare for these surveys now and develop tools that can efficiently extract ...
On the primordial origin of the smoothing excess in the Planck temperature power spectrum in light of LSS data
(IOP Publishing, 2022)
The Planck DR3 measurements of the temperature and polarization anisotropies power spectra of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) show an excess of smoothing of the acoustic peaks with respect to ΛCDM, often quantified ...
The vandels survey: The star-formation histories of massive quiescent galaxies at 1.0 < z < 1.3
(Oxford Academics, 2019)
We present a Bayesian full-spectral-fitting analysis of 75 massive (M∗>1010.3M⊙) UVJ-selected galaxies at redshifts of 1.0 < z < 1.3, combining extremely deep rest-frame ultraviolet spectroscopy from VANDELS with ...
Quadrupole and octupole collectivity in the semi-magic nucleus 80206Hg126
(Elsevier, 2023)
The first low-energy Coulomb-excitation measurement of the radioactive, semi-magic, two proton-hole nucleus 206Hg, was performed at CERN's recently-commissioned HIE-ISOLDE facility. Two γ rays depopulating low-lying states ...
