Constraining the stochastic gravitational wave background using the future lunar seismometers

Zhang, Fan; Chen, Xian; Shao, Lijing +3 more

Motivated by the old idea of using the Moon as a resonant gravitational wave (GW) detector, as well as the recent updates in modeling the lunar response to GWs, we reevaluate the feasibility of using a network of lunar seismometers to constrain the stochastic GW background (SGWB). In particular, using the updated model of the lunar response, we de…

Propagation of cosmic rays in the AMS-02 era

Fang, Kun; Yuan, Qiang; Lin, Su-Jie +1 more

In this work we use the newly reported boron-to-carbon ratio (B/C) from AMS-02 and the time-dependent proton fluxes from PAMELA and AMS-02 to constrain the source and propagation parameters of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. A linear correlation of the solar modulation parameter with solar activities is assumed to account for the time-varying cosmic…
