Tierra del Fuego, Argentina (551S), receives increased solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) as a result of Antarctic stratospheric ozone depletion. We conducted a field study to examine direct and indirect effects of solar UV-B radiation on decomposition of Gunnera magellanica, a native perennial herb, and on the native community of decomposer organisms. In general, indirect effects of UV-B mos...

We summarize the evidence for DM-like anomalies in neutron multiplicity spectra collected underground with Pb targets by three independent experiments: NEMESIS (at 210 m.w.e.) NMDS 583 m.w.e.), and ZEPLIN-II 2850 m.w.e.). A new analysis shows small but persistent at high multiplicities. Adjusted differences detection efficiencies, positions of are consistent between systems. Also, intensities m...

Weak-scale secluded sector dark matter can reproduce the observed relic density with thermal freeze-out within that sector. If nature is supersymmetric, three portals to visible - a gauge portal, Higgs and gaugino portal are present. We present gamma ray spectra relevant for indirect detection of annihilation in such setups. Since symmetries stabilize matter, $R$-parity unnecessary, we investig...

We propose an experiment that the entanglement between two macroscopic mirrors suspended at end of equal-arm interferometer is destroyed by noise gravitons through bremsstrahlung. By calculating correlation function noise, we obtain decoherence time from functional. estimate induced in squeezed states stemming inflation approximately 20 seconds for 40 km long arms and kg mirrors. Our analysis s...
