Magnetic Field Strength Effects on Nucleosynthesis from Neutron Star Merger Outflows
Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence drives the central engine of post-merger remnants, potentially powering both a nucleosynthetically active disk wind and the relativistic jet behind a short gamma-ray burst. We explore the impact […]

Superheavy Elements in Kilonovae
As LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA enters its fourth observing run, a new opportunity to search for electromagnetic counterparts of compact object mergers will also begin. The light curves and spectra from the first […]

Migdal Effect in Semiconductors
When a nucleus in an atom undergoes a collision, there is a small probability of an electron being excited inelastically as a result of the Migdal effect. In this Letter, […]

Anharmonic effects in nuclear recoils from sub-GeV dark matter
Direct detection experiments are looking for nuclear recoils from scattering of sub-GeV dark matter (DM) in crystals, and have thresholds as low as ∼10 eV or DM masses of ∼100 MeV. Future […]

Dark matter direct detection from the single phonon to the nuclear recoil regime
In most direct detection experiments, the free nuclear recoil description of dark matter scattering breaks down for masses ≲100 MeV, or when the recoil energy is comparable to a few times […]
