Anatomy of new physics in B-B¯¯¯ mixing. (2011)
Journal Article
Lenz, A., Nierste, U., Charles, J., Descotes-Genon, S., Jantsch, A., Kaufhold, C., …T'Jampens, S. (2011). Anatomy of new physics in B-B¯¯¯ mixing. Physical Review D, 83(3), Article 036004. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.83.036004

We analyze three different new physics scenarios for ΔF=2 flavor-changing neutral currents in the quark sector in the light of recent data on neutral-meson mixing. We parametrize generic new physics contributions to Bq−B¯¯¯q mixing, q=d, s, in terms... Read More about Anatomy of new physics in B-B¯¯¯ mixing..

Adaptive optics for wide-field microscopy (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bourgenot, C., Saunter, C., Girkin, J., & Love, G. (2011). Adaptive optics for wide-field microscopy. . https://doi.org/10.1117/12.873857

We report on recent developments in the use of adaptive optics (AO) in wide-field microscopy to remove both system and sample induced aberrations. We describe progress on using both a full AO system and image optimization techniques (wavefront sensor... Read More about Adaptive optics for wide-field microscopy.

N-body simulations for extended quintessence models (2011)
Journal Article
Li, B., Mota, D., & Barrow, J. (2011). N-body simulations for extended quintessence models. Astrophysical Journal, 728(2), Article 109. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/728/2/109

We introduce the N-body simulation technique to follow structure formation in linear and nonlinear regimes for the extended quintessence models (scalar-tensor theories in which the scalar field has a self-interaction potential and behaves as dark ene...

Varying alpha from N-body simulations (2011)
Journal Article
Li, B., Mota, D., & Barrow, J. (2011). Varying alpha from N-body simulations. Astrophysical Journal, 728(2), Article 108. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/728/2/108

We have studied the Bekenstein-Sandvik-Barrow-Magueijo (BSBM) model for the spatial and temporal variations of the fine structure constant, α, with the aid of full N-body simulations that explicitly and self-consistently solve for the scalar field dr...

Challenging times: a re-analysis of NGC 5408 X-1 (2011)
Journal Article
Middleton, M., Roberts, T., Done, C., & Jackson, F. (2011). Challenging times: a re-analysis of NGC 5408 X-1. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 411(1), 644-652. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.17712.x

The ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX), NGC 5408 X-1, is one of only 3 such objects to show a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in its power spectrum. Previous analysis of this signal identified it with the well-studied type C low-frequency QPO (LFQPO)... Read More about Challenging times: a re-analysis of NGC 5408 X-1.
