Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 532(1), 903-919. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1503

Accurate mock galaxy catalogues are crucial to validate analysis pipelines used to constrain dark energy models. We present a fast HOD-fitting method which we apply to the AbacusSummit simulations to create a set of mock catalogues for the DESI Brigh...

Polarity-Induced Reactive Wetting: Spreading and Retracting Sessile Water Drops. (2024)
Journal Article
Wong, W. S. Y., Kiseleva, M. S., & Naga, A. (2024). Polarity-Induced Reactive Wetting: Spreading and Retracting Sessile Water Drops. Langmuir, 40(26), 13331-13752. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c01085

Wetting is typically defined by the relative liquid to solid surface tension/energy, which are composed of polar and nonpolar subcontributions. Current studies often assume that they remain invariant, that is, surfaces are wetting-inert. Complex wett...

Maximizing the physics potential of B±→π±μ+μ− decays (2024)
Journal Article
Marshall, A. M., McCann, M. A., Patel, M., Petridis, K. A., Reboud, M., & van Dyk, D. (2024). Maximizing the physics potential of B±→π±μ+μ− decays. Physical Review D, 109(11), Article 116013. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.109.116013

We present a method that maximizes the experimental sensitivity to new physics contributions in 𝐵±→𝜋±⁢𝜇+⁢𝜇− decays. This method relies on performing an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to both the measured dimuon 𝑞2 distribution of 𝐵±→𝜋±⁢𝜇+⁢𝜇− decays,...

The distribution of mass in galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is often modelled as an elliptical power-law plus ‘external shear’, which notionally accounts for neighbouring galaxies and cosmic shear along our line of sight. A small amount of e... Read More about Strong gravitational lensing’s ‘external shear’ is not shear.
