Momentum-dependent charge-density-wave gap formation in ZrTe_{2.98}Se_{0.02}

We investigated the energy gap formation across the charge density wave (CDW) transition inof ZrTe_{2.98}Se_{0.02}. By employing a laser photoemission microscopy, we clearly resolved one elliptical Fermi surface (FS) around the Brillouin zone (BZ) center, and two quasi-one-dimensional FSs along the BZ boundary. We further mapped the intensity difference between the FSs below and above the CDW transition temperature. We found that the energy CDW gap formation is limited to the momentum region 0.25 Å^{-1} < ky < 0.8 Å^{-1} along \bar{B}-\bar{D} line, which coincides with the location of one of the quasi-one-dimensional FSs. Characteristic momentum dependence in the energy CDW gap suggests the importance of both FS nesting and band-dependent electron-phonon coupling for understanding the CDW state in ZrTe_{3} system.

Fermi surface of Kagome metal CsCr$_3$Sb$_5$ observed by laser photoemission microscopy

We investigated the Fermi surface (FS) in the paramagnetic state of Kagome metal CsCr$_3$Sb$_5$ by employing a laser photoemission microscopy. We found a circular FS and two hexagonal FSs around the Brillouin zone (BZ) center. Polarization-dependent measurements further enable us to detect small FS pockets at the BZ boundary. According to the density functional theory calculations, the orbital characters of the FSs were determined from their shape and orientations. We found that the size of the FS is strongly modified for the d$_{xz}$ orbital, suggesting the orbital-dependent correlation effect. These results provide an electronic basis for exploring the interplay of antiferromagnetic/charge density wave order and possible unconventional superconductivity in this compound.

Learning to detect continuous gravitational waves: an open data-analysis competition

We report results of a public data-analysis challenge, hosted on the open data-science platform Kaggle, to detect simulated continuous gravitational-wave signals (CWs). These are weak signals from rapidly spinning neutron stars that remain undetected despite extensive searches. The competition dataset consisted of a population of CW signals using both simulated and real LIGO detector data matching the conditions of actual CW searches. The competition attracted more than 1,000 participants to develop realistic CW search algorithms. We describe the top 10 approaches and discuss their applicability as a pre-processing step compared to standard CW-search approaches. For the competition's dataset, we find that top approaches can reduce the computing cost by 1 to 3 orders of magnitude at a false-dismissal probability comparable to standard CW searches. Additionally, the competition drove the development of new GPU-accelerated detection pipelines, which facilitated their adoption in other areas of gravitational-wave data analysis. We release the associated dataset, which constitutes the first open standardized benchmark for CW detection, to enable reproducible method comparisons and to encourage further developments toward the first detection of these elusive signals.
