Abstract: Gamma sources are routinely used to calibrate the energy scale and resolution of liquid scintillator detectors. However, non-scintillating material surrounding the source introduces energy losses, which may bias the determination of the centroid and width… read more here.

Abstract: We study the constraint on the inflationary energy scale from the recently proposed Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture (TCC). We find a universal upper bound on the inflationary Hubble expansion rate $H_\text{inf}$ which is solely determined by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.102.023519
Abstract: It is of interest to understand whether or not one can construct a classical field theory description of early cosmology which would be free of initial singularity and stable throughout the whole evolution. One of… read more here.
