Beam deconvolution in noisy CMB maps
2003
The subject of this paper is beam deconvolution in small angular scale CMB experiments. The beam effect is reversed using the Jacobi iterative method, which was designed to solved systems of algebraic linear equations. The beam is a non circular one which moves according to the observational strategy. A certain realistic level of Gaussian instrumental noise is assumed. The method applies to small scale CMB experiments in general (cases A and B), but we have put particular attention on Planck mission at 100 GHz (cases C and D). In cases B and D, where noise is present, deconvolution allows to correct the main beam distortion effect and recover the initial angular power spectrum up to the end…
Characteristics of the diffuse astrophysical electron and Tau neutrino flux with six years of IceCube high energy cascade data
2020
We report on the first measurement of the astrophysical neutrino flux using particle showers (cascades) in IceCube data from 2010-2015. Assuming standard oscillations, the astrophysical neutrinos in this dedicated cascade sample are dominated (∼90%) by electron and tau flavors. The flux, observed in the sensitive energy range from 16 TeV to 2.6 PeV, is consistent with a single power-law model as expected from Fermi-type acceleration of high energy particles at astrophysical sources. We find the flux spectral index to be γ=2.53±0.07 and a flux normalization for each neutrino flavor of φastro=1.66-0.27+0.25 at E0=100 TeV, in agreement with IceCube's complementary muon neutrino results and wit…
Variations in fundamental constants at the cosmic dawn
2020
The observation of space-time variations in fundamental constants would provide strong evidence for the existence of new light degrees of freedom in the theory of Nature. Robustly constraining such scenarios requires exploiting observations that span different scales and probe the state of the Universe at different epochs. In the context of cosmology, both the cosmic microwave background and the Lyman-α forest have proven to be powerful tools capable of constraining variations in electromagnetism, however at the moment there do not exist cosmological probes capable of bridging the gap between recombination and reionization. In the near future, radio telescopes will attempt to measure the 21…
Euclid preparation XIX. Impact of magnification on photometric galaxy clustering
2022
Aims. We investigate the importance of lensing magnification for estimates of galaxy clustering and its cross-correlation with shear for the photometric sample of Euclid. Using updated specifications, we study the impact of lensing magnification on the constraints and the shift in the estimation of the best fitting cosmological parameters that we expect if this effect is neglected.
Theoretical absorption spectrum of the Ar–CO van der Waals complex
2003
The three-dimensional intermolecular electric dipole moment surface of Ar–CO is calculated at the coupled cluster singles and doubles level of theory with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set extended with a 3s3p2d1f1g set of midbond functions. Using the rovibrational energies and wave functions of our recent study [J. Chem. Phys. 117, 6562 (2002)], temperature-dependent spectral intensities are evaluated and compared to available experimental data. Based on the theoretical spectrum, alternative assignments of the experimentally observed lines in the fundamental band of CO around 2160 and 2166 cm−1 are suggested. Thomas.Bondo@uv.es
Coupled cluster calculations of the vertical excitation energies of tetracyanoethylene
2003
The vertical spectrum of tetracyanoethylene was studied using coupled cluster theory. It was found that the lowest singlet-singlet transition, which corresponds to the excitation from the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) excitation, occurs at 5.16 eV in the gas phase and is lowered approximately 0.1 eV due to solvent effects in acetonitrile. A parallel study on the ethene spectrum showed the quality of the basis sets and methods used, by placing the V state 7.92 eV above the ground state and giving an energy for the 0-0 transition of 5.42 eV to be compared with the experimental value of 5.50 eV.
Implementation of transition moments between excited states in the approximate coupled-cluster singles and doubles model
2008
An implementation of transition moments between excited states for the approximate coupled-cluster singles and doubles model (CC2) using the resolution of the identity (RI) approximation is reported. The accuracy of the RI approximation is analyzed for a testset of 7 molecules and 76 transitions. The RI error is found to be very small for both transition moments and oscillator strengths. Furthermore, the performance of the CC2 model in comparison with coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) is studied for 40 transitions of the same testset, yielding deviations of about 12% for the transition moments and 24% for the oscillator strengths. In addition, for 13 transitions of the testset the …
Über blei-haltige Heterocyclen
1990
Abstract Crystal structures of alternating six-membered rings [Ph2PbS]3-P21/c and [Ph2SnS]3-P21/n have been determined by X-ray methods. Both heterocycles exhibit a C2-symmetric twisted boat conformation with tetrahedral coordination of the metal atoms [dPbS 2.491 A (dSnS 2.401 A, dPbC 2.19 A (dSnC 2.129 A)]. No additional intermolecular contacts have been found. A ring-segment exchange reaction in solution has been observed by NMR. In the resulting equilibrium new cyclic compounds containing both tin and lead atoms with coupling constants 2J(207PbS119Sn) 226 Hz have been detected. FD-mass spectra indicate formation of dimeric molecular units.
Nuclear Spin Relaxation in Viscous Liquids: Relaxation Stretching of Single-Particle Probes
2021
Spin-lattice relaxation rates R1(ω,T), probed via high-field and field-cycling nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), are used to test the validity of frequency-temperature superposition (FTS) for the reorientation dynamics in viscous liquids. For several liquids, FTS is found to apply so that master curves can be generated. The susceptibility spectra are highly similar to those obtained from depolarized light scattering (DLS) and reveal an excess wing. Where FTS works, two approaches are suggested to access the susceptibility: (i) a plot of deuteron R1(T) vs the spin-spin relaxation rate R2(T) and (ii) a plot of R1(T) vs an independently measured reference time τref(T). Using single-frequency s…
Complete Spectral Analysis of the1H NMR 16-Spin System of β-Pinene
1997
The complete analysis of the 1H NMR spectrum of β-pinene, (1S)-(-)-6,6-dimethyl-2-methylenebicyclo[3.1.1]heptane, which is of the ABCDEFGHIJX3Y3 type, is reported and earlier results are corrected. The vicinal coupling constants, 3J(H,H), are compared with the theoretical values calculated by using the Altona and co-workers’ equations for the structure derived by molecular modelling. The results were applied to the conformational analysis of β-pinene. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
