We introduce and validate a delensing framework for the Simons Observatory (SO), which will be used to improve constraints on inflationary gravitational waves by reducing the lensing noise in measurements of the B modes in CMB polarization. SO will initially observe CMB by using three small aperture telescopes and one large-aperture telescope. While polarization maps from small-aperture telescopes will be used to constrain inflationary gravitational waves, the internal CMB lensing maps used to delens will be reconstructed from data from the large-aperture telescope. Since lensing maps obtained from the SO data will be noise dominated on subdegree scales, the SO lensing framework constructs a template for lensing-induced B modes by combining internal CMB lensing maps with maps of the cosmic infrared background from Planck as well as galaxy density maps from the LSST survey. We construct a likelihood for constraining the tensor-to-scalar ratio r that contains auto and cross spectra between observed B modes and the lensing B-mode template. We test our delensing analysis pipeline on map-based simulations containing survey nonidealities, but that, for this initial exploration, does not include contamination from Galactic and extragalactic foregrounds. We find that the SO survey masking and inhomogeneous and atmospheric noise have very little impact on the delensing performance, and the r constraint becomes σ(r)≈0.0015 which is close to that obtained from the idealized forecasts in the absence of the Galactic foreground and is nearly a factor of 2 tighter than without delensing. We also find that uncertainties in the external large-scale structure tracers used in our multitracer delensing pipeline lead to bias much smaller than the 1σ statistical uncertainties.

Thermal conductivity (κ) of mantle minerals is key to understanding dynamics in the deep Earth. It controls the style of mantle convection and the timescale of cooling both the mantle and the core. Cubic CaSiO3 perovskite (CaPv) is the third most abundant mineral in the lower mantle (7vol%). Despite its importance, no theoretical or experimental estimate of CaPv's κ is available. Theoretical investigations of its properties are challenging because of its strong anharmonicity. Experimental measurements at relevant pressures and temperatures are equally challenging. Here we present ab initio results for CaPv's κ obtained using the phonon quasiparticle approach to address its strong anharmonicity. We also offer experimental measurements of κ up to 67 GPa and 1950 K. Predictions and measurements are in good agreement and reveal a surprisingly large κ for cubic CaPv that can be explained on the basis of its high crystal structure symmetry. Despite its relatively low abundance, CaPv's κ increases the lower mantle κ by ∼10%, if accounted for. κ of mantle regions enriched in subducted crustal materials will be more strongly impacted.

The ALICE Collaboration reports measurements of the semi-inclusive distribution of charged-particle jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high pT) charged hadron, in pp and central Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon collision sNN=5.02 TeV. The large uncorrelated background in central Pb-Pb collisions is corrected using a data-driven statistical approach which enables precise measurement of recoil jet distributions over a broad range in pT,chjet and jet resolution parameter R. Recoil jet yields are reported for R=0.2, 0.4, and 0.5 in the range 7
