The shape of the cosmic ray proton spectrum

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent observations of cosmic ray protons in the energy range $10^2$--$10^5$~GeV have revealed that the spectrum cannot be described by a simple power law. A hardening of the spectrum around an energy of order few hundred~GeV, first observed by the magnetic spectrometers PAMELA and AMS02, has now been confirmed by several calorimeter detectors (ATIC, CREAM, CALET, NUCLEON and DAMPE). These new measurements reach higher energy and indicate that the hardening corresponds to a larger step in spectral index than what estimated by the magnetic spectrometers. Data at still higher energy (by CREAM, NUCLEON and DAMPE) show that the proton spectrum undergoes a marked softening at $E \approx 10^4$~GeV. Understanding the origin of these unexpected spectral features is a significant challenge for models of the Galactic cosmic rays. An important open question is whether additional features are present in the proton spectrum between the softening and the "Knee". Extensive Air Shower detectors, using unfolding procedures that require the modeling of cosmic ray showers in the atmosphere, estimated the proton flux below and around the Knee (at $E \simeq 3$~PeV). These results however have large systematic uncertainties and are in poor agreement with each other. The measurement in the PeV energy range, recently presented by IceTop/IceCube, indicates a proton flux higher than extrapolations of the direct measurements calculated assuming a constant slope, and therefore requires the existence of an additional spectral hardening below the Knee. A clarification of this point is very important for an understanding of the origin of the Galactic cosmic rays, and is also essential for a precise calculation of the spectra of atmospheric neutrinos in the energy range ($E \gtrsim 10$~TeV) where they constitute the foreground for the emerging astrophysical $ν$ signal.

description: In this paper we examine the allocation of environmental regulatory effort across U.S. pulp and paper mills, looking at measures of regulatory activity (inspections and enforcement actions) and levels of air and water pollution from those mills. We combine measures of the marginal benefits of air and water pollution abatement at each mill with measures of the characteristics of the people living near the mill. This allows for the possibility that some people may count less in the calculations of regulators (and polluters), either because they have less political clout or because they live in another jurisdiction. We perform the analyses using a plant-level panel data set with approximately 300 pulp and paper mills from 1985-1997. We find support for the importance of both the benefits from pollution abatement and political factors related to the people affected, particularly related to the amount of air and water pollution being emitted. The results suggest substantial differences in the weights assigned to different types of people. In some models the benefits received by out-ofstate people seem to count only half as much as benefits received in-state, but their weight increases if the bordering state’s Congressmen are strongly pro-environment. A few of these variables are also associated with greater regulatory activity being directed towards the plant, although those results are less consistent with our hypotheses than the pollution results. One set of results was consistently contrary to expectations: plants with more nonwhites nearby emit less pollution. Some of our results might be due to endogenous sorting of people based on pollution, but an attempt to examine this using the local population turnover rate found evidence of sorting for only one of four pollutants.

description: Appropriate characterization and valuation of the health risks specific to children is important for effective environmental health risk management. This paper highlights the typical information provided by risk analysts about risks to children and the information needs of economic analysts. Particular emphasis is given to transparency in risk characterization (Browner, 1995) and the required assumptions to bridge the data and knowledge gaps. This paper also provides strategies intended to promote discussion and cooperation between risk and economic analysts, including a list of questions to ensure that key issues are discussed in advance of and during the risk assessment process. Finally, the paper provides an example of coordinated risk and economic analyses that characterized and valued risks and benefits for children.

description: We consider an analogue of Kontsevich's matrix Airy function where the cubic potential $\mathrm{Tr}(Φ^3)$ is replaced by a quartic term $\mathrm{Tr}(Φ^4)$. Cumulants of the resulting measure are known to decompose into cycle types for which a recursive system of equations can be established. We develop a new, purely algebraic geometrical solution strategy for the two initial equations of the recursion, based on properties of Cauchy matrices. These structures led in subsequent work to the discovery that the quartic analogue of the Kontsevich model obeys blobbed topological recursion.

Exponential enhancement of nuclear reactions in condensed matter environment

description: A mechanism that uses the environment to enhance the probability of the nuclear reaction when a beam of accelerated nuclei collides with a target nucleus implanted in condensed matter is suggested. The effect considered is exponentially large for low collision energies. For t + p collision the mechanism becomes effective when the energy of the projectile tritium is below $\sim$ 1 Kev per nucleon. The gain in probability of the nuclear reaction is due to a redistribution of energy and momentum of the projectile in several ``preliminary'' elastic collisions with the target nucleus and the environmental nuclei in such a way that the final inelastic projectile-target collision takes place at a larger relative velocity, which is accompanied by a decrease of the center of mass energy. The gain of the relative velocity exponentially increases the penetration through the Coulomb barrier.

description: Massive exoplanets on extremely tight orbits, such as WASP-12 b, induce equilibrium tides in their host stars. Following the orbital motion of the planet, the tidal fluid flow in the star can be detected with the radial velocity method. Its signature manifests as the second harmonics of the orbital frequency that mimics a non-zero orbital eccentricity. Using the new radial velocity measurements acquired with the HARPS-N spectrograph at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo and combining them with the literature data, we show that the apparent eccentricity of WASP-12 b's orbit is non-zero at a 5.8 sigma level, and the longitude of periastron of this apparently eccentric orbit is close to 270 degrees. This orbital configuration is compatible with a model composed of a circular orbit and a signature of tides raised in the host star. The radial velocity amplitude of those tides was found to be consistent with the equilibrium tide approximation. The tidal deformation is predicted to produce a flux modulation with an amplitude of 80 ppm which could be detected using space-born facilities.

description: We introduce a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) with elliptic operator in divergence form, with measurable and bounded coefficients and driven by space-time white noise. Such SPDEs could be used in mathematical modelling of diffusion phenomena in medium consisting of different kinds of materials and undergoing stochastic perturbations. We characterize the solution and, using the Stein--Malliavin calculus, we prove that the sequence of its recentered and renormalized spatial quadratic variations satisfies an almost sure central limit theorem. Particular focus is given to the interesting case where the coefficients of the operator are piecewise constant.

description: We show that the abundance and redshift distribution ($dN/dz$) of galaxy clusters in future high--yield cluster surveys, combined with the spatial power spectrum ($P_c(k)$) of the same clusters, can place significant constraints on the evolution of the dark energy equation of state, $w=w(a)$. We evaluate the expected errors on $w_a=-dw/da$ and other cosmological parameters using a Fisher matrix approach, and simultaneously including cluster structure evolution parameters in our analysis. We study three different types of forthcoming surveys that will identify clusters based on their X-ray emission (such as DUO, the Dark Universe Observatory), their Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ) decrement (such as SPT, the South Pole Telescope), or their weak lensing (WL) shear (such as LSST, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope). We find that combining the cluster abundance and power spectrum significantly enhances constraints from either method alone. We show that the weak-lensing survey can deliver a constraint as tight as $Δw_a \sim 0.1$ on the evolution of the dark energy equation of state, and that the X-ray and SZ surveys each yield $Δw_a \sim 0.4$ separately, or $Δw_a \sim 0.2$ when these two surveys are combined. For the X-ray and SZ surveys, constraints on dark energy parameters are improved by a factor of two by combining the cluster data with cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy measurements by Planck, but degrade by a factor of two if the survey is required to solve simultaneously for cosmological and cluster structure evolution parameters. The constraint on $w_a$ from the weak lensing survey is improved by $\sim 25$% with the addition of Planck data.

description: This paper focuses on the availability and use of existing literature for the valuation of children's health effects. Because the emphasis on children's health is relatively new, available studies focus on a small subset of health effects and the economic data available are very limited. This paper first presents an overview of methodologies used in the existing literature and provides an overall structure for discussing major classes of children's health effects. We then classify the available literature by health effect category, discuss the literature and suggest strategies for the use of valuation and other information in benefits and policy analyses. Our overall conclusion is that analysts need to interpret the existing child-focused studies with care.

description: This paper describes alternative empirical techniques of economic analysis to assess the monetary value of human health, and outlines the issues that arise when these techniques are transported to value environmental hazard interventions intended to improve the health of young children. It examines four economic valuation techniques currently used to assess changes in human health (i.e., cost of illness method, hedonic method, averting behavior method, and contingent valuation method) and critiques the applicability of these techniques for assessing the value of children's health changes.

description: This paper discusses indirect child welfare effects associated with environmental health. It considers the economic value of reducing the indirect risk to a child’s life chances from environmental threats to (a) caregiver health, (b) sibling health or the child’s health, and (c) the health of the surrounding natural environment and the consequent caregiver’s choices. Each of these effects can reduce the healthy child’s chance to be productive, to complement the work of others, and to contribute to the common good. In addition, this paper considers what evidence exists in the current literature that might quantify these effects, and whether these effects may be important to policy makers both for child health-related regulations and for regulations involving adult health effects. Finally, this paper also considers whether these indirect effects can be linked to existing models to value children’s health effects.

description: We investigate polarization observables in hyperon-nucleon scattering by decomposing scattering amplitudes into spin-space tensors, where each component describes scattering by corresponding spin-dependent interactions, so that contributions of the interactions in the observables are individually identified. In this way, for elastic scattering we find some linear combinations of the observables sensitive to particular spin-dependent interactions such as symmetric spin-orbit (LS) interactions and antisymmetric LS ones. These will be useful to criticize theoretical predictions of the interactions when the relevant observables are measured. We treat vector analyzing powers, depolarizations, and coefficients of polarization transfers and spin correlations, a part of which is numerically examined in $Σ^{+} p$ scattering as an example. Total cross sections are studied for polarized beams and targets as well as for unpolarized ones to investigate spin dependence of imaginary parts of forward scattering amplitudes.

We exhibit a finitely generated group Gamma and a manifold M such that: * Gamma has exactly countably infinitely many effective real-analytic actions on M, up to conjugacy in Diff^omega(M); * every effective, real analytic action of Gamma on M is C^r locally rigid, for some r>=3, and for every such r, there are infinitely many nonconjugate, effective real-analytic actions of Gamma on M that are C^r locally rigid, but not C^(r-1) locally rigid.

description: Out-of-time-ordered correlation functions (OTOCs) play a crucial role in the study of thermalization, entanglement, and quantum chaos, as they quantify the scrambling of quantum information due to complex interactions. As a consequence of their out-of-time-ordered nature, OTOCs are difficult to measure experimentally. Here we propose an OTOC measurement protocol that does not rely on the reversal of time evolution and is easy to implement in a range of experimental settings. The protocol accounts for both pure and mixed initial states, and is applicable to systems that interact with environmental degrees of freedom. We demonstrate the application of our protocol by the characterization of scrambling in a periodically-driven spin that exhibits quantum chaos.

In this paper, we review a selection of results where applications of the Fourier transform and transfer functions in optics have been applied to yield significant advances in unexpected areas of optics, including the spatial shaping of complex laser beams in amplitude and in phase, real-time ultrafast measurements, novel ghost imaging techniques, and the development of parallel processing methodologies for photonic artificial intelligence.
Consequences of spin-orbit coupling for the Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons

description: In the first part we discuss how the BEC picture for magnons is modified by anisotropies induced by spin-orbit coupling. In particular we focus on the effects of antisymmetric spin interactions and/or a staggered component of the $g$ (gyromagnetic) tensor. Such terms lead to a gapped quasiparticle spectrum and a nonzero condensate density for all temperatures so that no phase transition occurs. We contrast this to the effect of crystal field anisotropies which are also induced by spin-orbit coupling. In the second part we study the field-induced magnetic ordering in TlCuCl$_3$ on a quantitative level. We show that the usual BEC picture does not allow for a good description of the experimental magnetisation data and argue that antisymmetric spin interactions and/or a staggered $g$ tensor component are still crucial, although both are expected to be tiny in this compound due to crystal symmetries. Including this type of interaction we obtain excellent agreement with experimental data.

description: Mergers of galaxies are extremely violent events shaping their evolution. Such events are thought to trigger starbursts and, possibly, black hole accretion. Nonetheless, it is still not clear how to know the fate of a galaxy pair from the data available at a given time, limiting our ability to constrain the exact role of mergers. In this paper we use the lightcone of the Horizon-AGN simulation, for which we know the fate of each pair, to test three selection processes aiming at identifying true merging pairs. We find that the simplest one (selecting objects within two thresholds on projected distance $d$ and redshift difference $Δz$) gives similar results than the most complex one (based on a neural network analyzing $d$, $Δz$, redshift of the primary, masses/star formation rates/aspect ratio of both galaxies). Our best thresholds are $d_\mathrm{th}\sim100\mathrm{\, kpc}$ and $Δz_\mathrm{th} \sim 10^{-3}$, in agreement with recent results.

description: We give an integral representaion of the zeta-reguralized determinant of Laplacians on three dimensional Heisenberg manifolds, and study a behaivior of the values when we deform the uniform discrete subgroups. Heiseberg manifolds are the total space of a fiber bundle with a torus as the base space and a circle as a typical fiber, then the deformation of the uniform discrete subgroups means that the "radius" of the fiber goes to zero. We explain the lines of the calculations precisely for three dimensional cases and state the corresponding results for five dimensional Heisenberg manifolds. We see that the values themselves are of the product form with a factor which is that of the flat torus. So in the last half of this paper we derive general formulas of the zeta-regularized determinant for product type manifolds of two Riemannian manifolds, discuss the formulas for flat tori and explain a relation of the formula for the two dimensional flat torus and Kronecker's second limit formula.

description: One of the many difficult issues the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Children’s Health Protection is addressing is the appropriate treatment of children’s health effects in the economic analyses performed by the Agency. Policy analysis efforts at the Agency often rely on the benefits transfer technique, and very few of the Agency’s benefit transfers have explicitly addressed children’s health issues. To assist the Agency in its efforts, this paper discusses the benefits transfer technique as it applies to estimating values for children’s health.

description: This study investigates the comparative accuracy of human and AI-generated translations of legal documents into Arabic, focusing specifically on the performance of ChatGPT against human translations. This study employs a comparative research design, where a corpus of words 20,000 words from legal texts, including contracts and agreements, translated by both AI and professional human translators. The research aimed to assess three primary dimensions: correct legal terminology usage, clarity of expression, and adherence to the Arabic legal framework. Through a structured evaluation process, key findings revealed that human translations significantly outperformed AI-generated ver- sions in all assessed criteria. Human translators demonstrated superior mastery of legal terminology and clarity in complex legal constructs, as well as adherence to formal legal standards and cultural differences inherent in Arabic legal contexts. While AI tools like ChatGPT show promise in producing contextually relevant translations for simpler texts, they often fall short in capturing the precise legal terminology and complex constructs required for effective legal communication. This research highlights the continued necessity of skilled human translators in the legal field and suggests a hybrid approach that leverages AI tools to augment human expertise in translation processes.

description: The nearby spiral galaxy NGC 7331 was spectrally mapped from 5-38um using all modules of Spitzer's IRS spectrograph. A strong new dust emission feature, presumed due to PAHs, was discovered at 17.1um. The feature's intensity is nearly half that of the ubiquitous 11.3um band. The 7-14um spectral maps revealed significant variation in the 7.7 and 11.3um PAH features between the stellar ring and nucleus. Weak [OIV] 25.9um line emission was found to be centrally concentrated in the nucleus, with an observed strength over 10% of the combined neon line flux, indicating an AGN or unusually active massive star photo-ionization. Two [SIII] lines fix the characteristic electron density in the HII regions at n_e < ~200 cm^-3. Three detected H_2 rotational lines, tracing warm molecular gas, together with the observed IR continuum, are difficult to match with standard PDR models. Either additional PDR heating or shocks are required to simultaneously match lines and continuum.

description: We present near-infrared interferometric data on the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068, obtained with the GRAVITY instrument on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer. The extensive baseline coverage from 5 to 60 Mλallowed us to reconstruct a continuum image of the nucleus with an unrivaled 0.2 pc resolution in the K-band. We find a thin ring-like structure of emission with a radius r = 0.24+/-0.03 pc, inclination i = 70+/-5 deg, position angle PA = -50+/-4 deg, and h/r < 0.14, which we associate with the dust sublimation region. The observed morphology is inconsistent with the expected signatures of a geometrically and optically thick torus. Instead, the infrared emission shows a striking resemblance to the 22 GHz maser disc, which suggests they share a common region of origin. The near-infrared spectral energy distribution indicates a bolometric luminosity of (0.4-4.7) x 10^45 erg/s, behind a large A_K ~ 5.5 (A_V ~ 90) screen of extinction that also appears to contribute significantly to obscuring the broad line region.

description: Rapid urbanization and increased industrialization have led to high pollution levels throughout Latin America. Economists tout policies based on market-based economic incentives as the most cost-effective methods for addressing a wide variety of environmental problems. This chapter examines market-based incentives and their applicability to Latin America. We first review the market-based incentives traditionally used to address pollution – emissions taxes, environmental subsidies, tax and subsidy combinations, tradable pollution permits, and hybrid instruments – and compare these instruments to command-and-control policies. We then discuss two sets of factors that affect how feasible and efficient pollution control policy will be in Latin America. We focus on practical considerations such as monitoring and enforcement, distributional issues, political feasibility, institutional considerations, administrative costs, and compliance costs. We also examine what the violation of standard modeling assumptions implies for the success of pollution control policy. In particular, we focus on noncompetitive market structures, imperfect information or uncertainty, the effects of regulation on global competitiveness, and the compatibility of environmental goals with the goals of growth and development. Finally, we compare Latin American experiences with market-based incentives with those in the U.S. and Europe, and conclude with several policy recommendations.
Pion Mass Dependence of Nucleon Magnetic Moments

description: The relevance of the pion mass, provenient from a term which explicitely breaks chiral symmetry in the Lagrangian, for nucleon magnetic moment in the frame of the Skyrmion model in two different versions: the usual Skyrme model and a modified one which includes a coupling to a light scalar meson field, the sigma $σ(\simeq 500-600$ MeV). The results are compared to other calculations. Our main motivation comes from usual extrapolations for values of low energy QCD observables obtained in lattices with large values of pion/quark masses toward realistic value of $m_π$. which do not allow it. We do a comparison with results from the Cloudy Bag Model and a chiral hadronic model from chiral perturbation theory. There are several resulting extrapolations from the region of large pion mass to the realistic value depending on the considered model for low energy QCD.

Maslov index in the infinite dimension and a splitting formula for a spectral flow

description: First, we prove a local spectral flow formula (Theorem 3.7) for a differentiable curve of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. This formula enables us to prove in a simple way a general spectral flow formula. Secondly, we prove a splitting formula (Theorem 4.12) for the spectral flow of a curve of selfadjoint elliptic operators on a closed manifold, which we decompose into two parts with commom boundary. Then the formula says that the spectral flow is a sum of two spectral flows on each part of the separated manifold with naturally introduced elliptic boundary conditions. In the course of proving this formula, we investigate a property of the Maslov index for paths of Fredholm pairs of Lagrangian subspaces
Analyzing the claims made by Joe Taylor and the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum regarding the recovery of anomalous human remains dated between 1400 BCE and 1955 CE

description: For many years, particular claims have, in various forms, appeared frequently on websites and within material that discuss a global conspiracy to hide an “ancient race of giants” from the public, regarding several gigantic skeletons that have been allegedly found all over the world, confirming the existence of such a race sometime in the recent past, with anomalies and discoveries of such anomalies extending back between at least 1400 BCE and the mid-1950s CE. The truly discouraging aspect of the situation is that such claims are not only taken seriously by those who are making them, but that they are advocating that their followers accept the premise that belief in such cases is backed up by academic or archaeological evidence. This offering of justified rationalization is what requires the claim to be taken seriously by those in mainstream academia, and at least a peripheral response to be offered in the aiding of those who may be more skeptical of the claims made by Joe Taylor and the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum.
