Model-independent versus model-dependent interpretation of the SDSS-III BOSS power spectrum: Bridging the divide

The traditional clustering analyses of galaxy redshift surveys compress the clustering data into a set of late-time physical variables in a model-independent way. This approach has recently been extended by an additional shape variable encoding early-time physics information. Here we apply this new technique, ShapeFit, to SDSS-III BOSS data and show that it matches the constraining power of alternative, model-dependent approaches, which directly constrain the model’s parameters adopting a cosmological model ab initio. ShapeFit is ~30 times faster, model independent, naturally splits early- and late-time variables, and enables a better control of observational systematics.

Angular power spectrum of the diffuse gamma-ray emission as measured by the Fermi Large Area Telescope and constraints on its dark matter interpretation

The isotropic gamma-ray background arises from the contribution of unresolved sources, including members of confirmed source classes and proposed gamma-ray emitters such as the radiation induced by dark matter annihilation and decay. Clues about the properties of the contributing sources are imprinted in the anisotropy characteristics of the gamma-ray background. We use 81 months of Pass 7 Reprocessed data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope to perform a measurement of the anisotropy angular power spectrum of the gamma-ray background. Here, we analyze energies between 0.5 and 500 GeV, extending the range considered in the previous measurement based on 22 months of data. We also compute, for the first time, the cross-correlation angular power spectrum between different energy bins. The derived angular spectra are compatible with being Poissonian, i.e. constant in multipole. Furthermore, the energy dependence of the anisotropy suggests that the signal is due to two populations of sources, contributing, respectively, below and above ~ 2 GeV . Finally, using data from state-of-the-art numerical simulations to model the dark matter distribution, we constrain the contribution from dark matter annihilation and decay in Galactic and extra-Galactic structures to the measured anisotropy. These constraints are competitive with those that can be derived from the average intensity of the isotropic gamma-ray background.

Possible interpretation of the newly observed Ω ( 2012 ) state

Inspired by the newly observed $Ω (2012)$ state at Belle II, we investigate the two-body strong decays of $Ω$ baryons up to $N = 2$ shell within the chiral quark model. Our results indicate that (i) the newly observed $Ω (2012)$ state could be assigned to the spin-parity $J^P = 3 / 2^-$ state |$70,^{2}10, 1, 1, \frac{3^-}{2}$$\rangle$ and the experimental data can be reasonably described. However, the spin-parity $J^P = 1 / 2^-$ state |$70,^{2}10, 1, 1, \frac{1^-}{2}$$\rangle$ and spin-parity $J^P = 3 / 2^+$ state |$56, ^{4}10, 2, 0, \frac{3^+}{2}$$\rangle$ cannot be completely excluded. (ii) The $D$-wave states in the $N = 2$ shell are most likely to be narrow states with a width of dozens of MeV and have a good potential to be observed in the $\Xi$$K$ and/or $\Xi(1530)K$ channels in future experiments. The $Ω(2250)$ resonance listed in PDG may be a good candidate for the $J^P$ = $5/2^+$ $1D$ wave state |$56$,$^{4}10$, $2, 2$, $5/2^+$ $\rangle$ .
