Electroweak Observables in Neutrino-Electron Scattering from a Muon Storage Ring
We investigate the sensitivity of a companion neutrino detector situated in the plane of a high-energy, high-intensity muon storage ring to elastic $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_e$ scattering on electrons (E$\nu$ES). Assuming […]

Could a Kilonova Kill: A Threat Assessment
Binary neutron star mergers produce high-energy emissions from several physically different sources, including a gamma-ray burst (GRB) and its afterglow, a kilonova (KN), and, at late times, a remnant many […]

Thallium-208: A Beacon of In Situ Neutron Capture Nucleosynthesis
We demonstrate that the well-known 2.6 MeV gamma-ray emission line from thallium-208 could serve as a real-time indicator of astrophysical heavy element production, with both rapid (𝑟) and intermediate (𝑖) neutron […]

Do we owe our existence to gravitational waves?
Two heavy elements essential to human biology are thought to have been produced by the astrophysical r-process, which occurs in neutron-rich environments: iodine is a constituent of thyroid hormones that […]
