EuCAPT White Paper: Opportunities and Challenges for Theoretical Astroparticle Physics in the Next Decade

R. Alves Batista, +131 more
TLDR
The European Consortium for Astroparticle Theory (EuCAPT) white paper as mentioned in this paper explores upcoming theoretical opportunities and challenges for our field of research with particular emphasis on the possible synergies among different subfields, and the prospects for solving the most fundamental open questions with multi-messenger observations.
Abstract
Astroparticle physics is undergoing a profound transformation, due to a series of extraordinary new results, such as the discovery of high-energy cosmic neutrinos with IceCube, the direct detection of gravitational waves with LIGO and Virgo, and many others. This white paper is the result of a collaborative effort that involved hundreds of theoretical astroparticle physicists and cosmologists, under the coordination of the European Consortium for Astroparticle Theory (EuCAPT). Addressed to the whole astroparticle physics community, it explores upcoming theoretical opportunities and challenges for our field of research, with particular emphasis on the possible synergies among different subfields, and the prospects for solving the most fundamental open questions with multi-messenger observations.

The Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

TL;DR: The first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger were reported in this paper, with a false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203,000 years, equivalent to a significance greater than 5.1σ.

Bow-Shock Pulsar Wind Nebulae Searches Aided by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves

TL;DR: The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOW) is a collaboration of researchers who are actively engaged in using North American radio telescopes to detect and study gravitational waves (GWs) via pulsar timing.

Oscillons after Inflation

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in a class of well-motivated single-field models, inflation is followed by self resonance, leading to copious oscillon generation and a lengthy period of oscillon domination.

A Reverse Shock in GRB 130427A

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present extensive radio and millimeter observations of the unusually bright GRB-130427A at z = 0.340, spanning 0.67-12 days after the burst.

A response to O. Arandjelovic's critique of "The reproducibility of research and the misinterpretation of p-values"

TL;DR: The main criticism of my piece in this article seems to be that my calculations rely on testing a point null hypothesis, i.e. the hypothesis that the true effect size is zero.

Detection of the characteristic pion-decay signature in supernova remnants

Markus Ackermann, +200 more
- 15 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: The characteristic pion-decay feature is detected in the gamma-ray spectra of two SNRs, IC 443 and W44, with the Fermi Large Area Telescope, providing direct evidence that cosmic-ray protons are accelerated in SNRs.

GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run

Richard J. Abbott, +1350 more
- 09 Jun 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 39 candidate gravitational wave events from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between 1 April 2019 15:00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15.00.

The Nuclear Equation of State and Neutron Star Masses

TL;DR: In this article, an ensemble of mass and radius observations can realistically restrict the properties of dense matter and, in particular, the behavior of the nuclear symmetry energy near the nuclear saturation density.

Primordial Black Hole Scenario for the Gravitational-Wave Event GW150914

TL;DR: The abundance of PBHs required to explain the suggested lower bound on the event rate roughly coincides with the existing upper limit set by the nondetection of the cosmic microwave background spectral distortion, which implies that the proposed PBH scenario may be tested in the not-too-distant future.
