Improved mass constraints for two nearby strong-lensing elliptical galaxies from Hubble Space Telescope Imaging (2017)
Journal Article
Collier, W. P., Smith, R. J., & Lucey, J. R. (2017). Improved mass constraints for two nearby strong-lensing elliptical galaxies from Hubble Space Telescope Imaging. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(1), 1103-1107. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2297

We analyse newly obtained Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging for two nearby strong lensing elliptical galaxies, SNL-1 (z = 0.03) and SNL-2 (z = 0.05), in order to improve the lensing mass constraints. The imaging reveals previously unseen structure... Read More about Improved mass constraints for two nearby strong-lensing elliptical galaxies from Hubble Space Telescope Imaging.

We investigate the ability of the short baseline neutrino (SBN) experimental program at Fermilab to test the globally-allowed (3 þ N) sterile neutrino oscillation parameter space. We explicitly consider the globally-allowed parameter space for the (3...

We present the first NLO QCD+EW predictions for Higgs boson production in association with a ℓνℓ or ℓ+ℓ− pair plus zero or one jets at the LHC. Fixed-order NLO QCD+EW calculations are combined with a QCD+QED parton shower using the recently developed...

Exchange constants in molecule-based magnets derived from density functional methods (2017)
Journal Article

Cu(pyz)(NO3)2 is a quasi-one-dimensional molecular antiferromagnet that exhibits three-dimensional long-range magnetic order below T N = 110 mK due to the presence of weak interchain exchange couplings. Here, we compare calculations of the three larg... Read More about Exchange constants in molecule-based magnets derived from density functional methods.

Leptonic flavour mixing influenced by flavon cross couplings (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhou, Y.-L. (2017, September). Leptonic flavour mixing influenced by flavon cross couplings. Presented at The XXVII International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics (Neutrino 2016), London, England

We develop an economical approach to connect flavon cross couplings with flavour mixing. A non-zero reactor mixing angle and almost maximal CP violation arise from cross couplings between flavons in the charged lepton and neutrino sectors. Within thi...

Band tailing is a major contributing factor to the large open circuit voltage (Voc) deficit that is currently limiting Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) photovoltaic devices. It occurs in highly doped, highly compensated semiconductors and gives rise to a non-uniform...
