Testing the ΛCDM Cosmological Model with Forthcoming Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background with SPT-3G

The Astrophysical Journal
We forecast constraints on cosmological parameters enabled by three surveys conducted with SPT-3G, the third-generation camera on the South Pole Telescope.

Review on studies in natural background radiation

Radiation Protection and Environment, 2018
The environment around us is radioactive due to background radiation emitted from the sky, earth's crust, food, water, and building materials. The human body gets exposed to radiation doses of about 82%, which are out of control; they arise from ...

On the Contribution of Active Galactic Nuclei to the Cosmic Background Radiation [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2007
We present the results of calculations of the cosmic AGN background spectrum from 3 keV (4\times 10^{-4} microns) to 1000 microns. These computations make use of the measured X-ray luminosity function and its evolution, as well as fits from synthesis models of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB) to predict the AGN contribution to the cosmic infrared ...

Multi‐Century Grindstone Quarrying at Brumby Yard, Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing and duration of prehistoric quarrying is poorly understood within Australia, with limited ages available for quarries owing to the difficulties in dating these rock‐sediment constructions. We report the first multi‐sample, optically stimulated luminescence ages from quarry pits in Brumby Yard, an Aboriginal grindstone quarry ...

Economic Rationality and International Humanitarianism: Ryōkichi Sagane's Advocacy Regarding the Introduction of Foreign Nuclear Reactors to Japan**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident underscored the crucial role of nuclear engineering experts. However, the specific arguments and motivations of scientists advocating for the introduction of foreign reactors remain unclear.

Planck Dust Polarization Power Spectra Are Consistent with Strongly Supersonic Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal
The polarization of the cosmic microwave background is rich in information but obscured by foreground emission from the Milky Way’s interstellar medium (ISM). To uncover relationships between the underlying turbulent ISM and the foreground power spectra,

Invisible Labor and the “Ghost Particle”: Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
Abstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.

Does the Correlation between 2MRS Galaxies and the CMB Indicate an Unmodeled CMB Foreground?

The Astrophysical Journal
We revisit the claimed detection of a new cosmic microwave background (CMB) foreground based on the correlation between low-redshift Two Micron All Sky Survey Redshift Survey (2MRS) galaxies and CMB temperature maps from the Planck and Wilkinson ...

The Curious Concept That Almost Nobody Seemed to Care About at First: Virtual Particles in the Post‐War Period**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
Abstract Short‐lived, unobservable, and not subject to the usual rules of conservation of energy and momentum, virtual particles—an integral part of the conceptual framework of quantum field theory (QFT)—exhibit a number of curious characteristics which, in recent decades, have in part fueled important discussions about their ontological status ...
