We use a diffusion galactic model to analyze the end of the Galactic cosmic ray spectrum and its mixing with the extragalactic cosmic ray flux. We analyze the transition between Galactic and extragalactic components using two different extragalactic models. We compare the sum of the diffusive galactic spectrum and extragalactic spectrum with the available experimental data.

There may be a high-energy cutoff of neutrino events in IceCube data. In particular, IceCube does not observe either continuum events above 2 PeV, or the Standard Model Glashow-resonance events expected at 6.3 PeV. There are also no higher energy neu
trino signatures in the ANITA and Auger experiments. This absence of high-energy neutrino events motivates a fundamental restriction on neutrino energies above a few PeV. We postulate a simple scenario to terminate the neutrino spectrum that is Lorentz-invariance violating, but with a limiting neutrino velocity that is always smaller than the speed of light. If the limiting velocity of the neutrino applies also to its associated charged lepton, then a significant consequence is that the two-body decay modes of the charged pion are forbidden above two times the maximum neutrino energy, while the radiative decay modes are suppressed at higher energies. Such stabilized pions may serve as cosmic ray primaries.
Many fields are now snowed under with an avalanche of data, which raises considerable challenges for computer scientists. Meanwhile, robotics (among other fields) can often only use a few dozen data points because acquiring them involves a process th

We study overlaps between two regularized boundary states in conformal field theories. Regularized boundary states are dual to end of the world branes in an AdS black hole via the AdS/BCFT. Thus they can be regarded as microstates of a single sided b
lack hole. Owing to the open-closed duality, such an overlap between two different regularized boundary states is exponentially suppressed as $langle psi_{a} | psi_{b} rangle sim e^{-O(h^{(min)}_{ab})}$, where $h^{(min)}_{ab}$ is the lowest energy of open strings which connect two different boundaries $a$ and $b$. Our gravity dual analysis leads to $h^{(min)}_{ab} = c/24$ for a pure AdS$_3$ gravity. This shows that a holographic boundary state is a random vector among all left-right symmetric states, whose number is given by a square root of the number of all black hole microstates. We also perform a similar computation in higher dimensions, and find that $h^{( min)}_{ab}$ depends on the tensions of the branes. In our analysis of holographic boundary states, the off diagonal elements of the inner products can be computed directly from on-shell gravity actions, as opposed to earlier calculations of inner products of microstates in two dimensional gravity.
We have analyzed the available polarization surveys of the Galactic emission to estimate to what extent it may be a serious hindrance to forthcoming experiments aimed at detecting the polarized component of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotrop
ies. Regions were identified for which independent data consistently indicate that depolarization must be small. The power spectrum of the polarized emission, in terms of antenna temperature, was found to be described by $C_{ell}simeq (1.2pm 0.8)cdot 10^{-9}cdot (ell / 450)^{-1.8pm 0.3}cdot ( u/ 2.4{rm GHz})^{-5.8}$ K$^{2}$, from arcminute to degree scales. Data on larger angular scales ($ellle 100$) indicate a steeper slope $sim ell^{-3}$. We conclude that polarized Galactic emission is unlikely to be a serious limitation to CMB polarization measurements at the highest frequencies of the MAP and {sc Planck}/LFI instruments, at least for $ellge 50$ and standard cosmological models. The weak correlation between polarization and total power and the low polarization degree of radio emission close to the Galactic plane, found also in low-depolarization regions, is interpreted as due to large contributions to the observed intensity from unpolarized sources, primarily strong HII regions, concentrated on the Galactic plane. Thus estimates of the power spectrum of total intensity at low Galactic latitudes are not representative of the spatial distribution of Galactic emission far from the plane. Both total power and polarized emissions show highly significant deviations from a Gaussian distribution.
We present an updated and revised analysis of the relationship between the Hbeta broad-line region (BLR) radius and the luminosity of the active galactic nucleus (AGN). Specifically, we have carried out two-dimensional surface brightness decompositio
ns of the host galaxies of 9 new AGNs imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3. The surface brightness decompositions allow us to create AGN-free images of the galaxies, from which we measure the starlight contribution to the optical luminosity measured through the ground-based spectroscopic aperture. We also incorporate 20 new reverberation-mapping measurements of the Hbeta time lag, which is assumed to yield the average Hbeta BLR radius. The final sample includes 41 AGNs covering four orders of magnitude in luminosity. The additions and updates incorporated here primarily affect the low-luminosity end of the R-L relationship. The best fit to the relationship using a Bayesian analysis finds a slope of alpha = 0.533 (+0.035/-0.033), consistent with previous work and with simple photoionization arguments. Only two AGNs appear to be outliers from the relationship, but both of them have monitoring light curves that raise doubt regarding the accuracy of their reported time lags. The scatter around the relationship is found to be 0.19(+/-0.02) dex, but would be decreased to 0.13 dex by the removal of these two suspect measurements. A large fraction of the remaining scatter in the relationship is likely due to the inaccurate distances to the AGN host galaxies. Our results help support the possibility that the R-L relationship could potentially be used to turn the BLRs of AGNs into standardizable candles. This would allow the cosmological expansion of the Universe to be probed by a separate population of objects, and over a larger range of redshifts.
