description: We have studied systematically microscopic properties of a quantum vortex in neutron matter at finite temperatures and densities corresponding to different layers of the inner crust of a neutron star. To this end and in preparation of future simulations of the vortex dynamics, we have carried out fully self-consistent 3D Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations, using one of the latest nuclear energy-density functionals from the Brussels-Montreal family, which has been developed specifically for applications to neutron superfluidity in neutron-star crusts. By analyzing the flow around the vortex, we have determined the effective radius relevant for the vortex filament model. We have also calculated the specific heat in the presence of the quantum vortex and have shown that it is substantially larger than for a uniform system at low temperatures. The low temperature limit of the specific heat has been identified as being determined by Andreev states inside the vortex core. We have shown that the specific heat in this limit does not scale linearly with temperature. The typical energy scale associated with Andreev states is defined by the minigap, which we have extracted for various neutron-matter densities. Our results suggest that vortices may be spin-polarized in the crust of magnetars. Finally, we have obtained a lower bound for the specific heat of a collection of vortices with given surface density, taking into account both the contributions from the vortex core states and from the hydrodynamic flow.

Diffuse cosmic gamma-rays at 1-20 MeV: A trace of the dark matter?

description: Several independent observations of the galactic core suggest hitherto unexplained sources of energy. The most well known case is the 511 keV line which has proven very difficult to explain with conventional astrophysical positron sources. A similar, but less well known mystery is the excess of gamma-ray photons detected by COMPTEL across a broad energy range 1-20 MeV. Such photons are found to be very difficult to produce via known astrophysical sources. We show in this work that dark matter in the form of dense antimatter droplets provides a natural explanations for the observed flux of gamma-rays in the 1-20 MeV range. We argue thatsuch photons must always accompany the 511 keV line as they produced by the same mechanism within our framework. We calculate the spectrum and intensity of the 1-20 MeV gamma-rays, and find it to be consistent with the COMPTEL data.

title: Calculation of background effects on the VESUVIO eV neutron spectrometer
Creators: name: Mayers, J
Publisher: name: Science and Technology Facilities Council
Year: 2010

description: The VESUVIO spectrometer at the ISIS pulsed neutron source measures the momentum distribution n(p) of atoms by "neutron Compton scattering" (NCS). Measurements of n(p) provide a unique window on the quantum behaviour of atomic nuclei in condensed matter systems. The VESUVIO (superscript)6Li doped neutron detectors at forward scattering angles were replaced in Feb 2008 by Yttrium Aluminium Perovskite doped (YAP) gamma-ray detectors. These provide a much superior resolution and general performance, but suffer from a sample dependent gamma background. This report details how this background is calaculated and data corrected. The report also indicates how this background can be reduced.

description: Long-lived particles have become a new frontier in the exploration of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper, we present the implementation of four types of long-lived particle searches, viz. displaced leptons, disappearing track, displaced vertex (together with muons or with missing energy), and heavy charged tracks. These four categories cover the signatures of a large range of physics models. We illustrate their potential for exclusion and discuss their mutual overlaps in mass-lifetime space for two simple phenomenological models involving either a U(1)-charged or a coloured scalar.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the views and practices related to the actor’s non verbal language, of the directors inspired by the commedia dell’ arte actor, Copeau, Meυerhold and Strehler. frozen expressions (idioms) in Modern Greek. We showed that each of the three directors construct his ‘own’ particular Commedia, each with its own differentiated and concrete characteristics, that the ‘Commedia-like’ non verbal elements of expression and communication used by their actors are structural materials (a) of the Commedia constructed by each director, (b) of each director’s wider aesthetic approach and (c) of the social/values dimension of this aesthetic approach. We also showed that these three aesthetic approaches finally converge to common social/values characteristics which are met with corresponding characteristics of Progressive Education and Critical Pedagogy that regard the quality of educators’ expression and communication with their students.

description: Excerpt from the report Preface: Difficult conditions in the farm sector for the past 4 years have placed a number of farmers under financial stress. While some farms of all sizes have been experiencing financial stress, these problems have been most pronounced for family-size commercial farms. This report estimates how many family-size farms are likely to have financial problems, how much debt they owe, and how farmers' financial problems are affecting farm lenders. The estimates were derived from surveys of farm income, expenditures, and finances made in early 1984, with estimates updated to January 1985.

description: We report an optical technique that yields an enhancement of single-molecule photostability, by greatly suppressing photobleaching pathways which involve photoexcitation from the triplet state. This is accomplished by dynamically switching off the excitation laser when a quantum-jump of the molecule to the triplet state is optically detected. This procedure leads to a lengthened single-molecule observation time and an increased total number of detected photons. The resulting improvement in photostability unambiguously confirms the importance of photoexcitation from the triplet state in photobleaching dynamics, and may allow the investigation of new phenomena at the single-molecule level.

description: In this work GEM and single-hole Thick GEM structures, composed of different coating materials, are studied. The used foils incorporate conductive layers made of copper, aluminium, molybdenum, stainless steel, tungsten and tantalum. The main focus of the study is the determination of the material dependence of the formation of electrical discharges in GEM-based detectors. For this task, discharge probability measurements are conducted with several Thick GEM samples using a basic electronics readout chain. In addition to that, optical spectroscopy methods are employed to study the light emitted during discharges from the different foils. It is observed that the light spectra of GEMs include emission lines from the conductive layer material. This indicates the presence of the foil material in the discharge plasma after the initial spark. However, no lines associated with the coating material are observed while studying spark discharges induced in Thick GEMs. It is concluded that the conductive layer material does not play a substantial role in terms of stability against primary discharges. However, a strong material dependence is observed in the case of secondary discharge formation, pointing to molybdenum coating as the one providing increased stability.

description: We report on XMM-Newton observations of three nearby galaxy pairs, AM0707-273, AM1211-465, and AM2040-674. All six galaxies were previously classified as HII galaxies based on optical and IR spectroscopic analysis. All galaxies were detected with XMM-Newton and each member was isolated and analyzed independently. The X-ray spectra reveal strong evidence of AGN activity in the NE member of AM1211-465 pair. We measured a luminosity of 1.94(+0.11/-0.15)x10^42 erg/s in the 2-10 keV band and the presence of a neutral FeK_alpha line with a confidence level of 98.8%. The high nH value, 2.2+/-0.2x10^22 cm^-2, would explain the misclassification of the source. Marginal evidence of AGN nature was found in the X-ray spectra of AM1211-465SW and AM0707-273E. The X-ray emission of the three remaining galaxies can be explained by starburst activity.

description: We study polarons in the one-dimensional Bond-Peierls electron-phonon model, in which phonons on bonds of a lattice modulate the hopping of electrons between lattice sites, and contrast the results to those known for the Breathing-Mode Peierls problem. By inspecting the atomic limit, we show that polaronic dressing and mass enhancement of Bond-Peierls polarons depend on the momentum dependence of the phonons. For dispersionless phonons, Bond-Peierls polarons are perfectly localized in the atomic limit, unlike their Breathing-mode counterparts, because the carrier creates a string of phonon excitations that can only be annihilated via processes that retrace the carrier to its original site. However, inclusion of phonon dispersion leads to a non-divergent polaron mass even in the atomic limit and depending on the form of the phonon dispersion may lead to a transition to a non-zero-momentum ground state akin to that found in the Breathing-mode Peierls model.

description: The deliverable D7.3 “Experimental Report on Projected Datasets” consists of a report describing the outcomes of the experimentation performed on the projected datasets provided by each pilot, utilizing the Big Data Grapes stack. This report starts by outlining the methodology and metrics we employ for our experimentation. Moreover, data generators are described emphasizing on State of the Art. We focus our experimentation on a pilot level, initially analysing the provided datasets and evaluating them against the Big Data Vs, as suggested and described in detail in D7.1 and described the data usage patterns. For three of the pilots, we move on to identify and document the data flows each pilot adheres to throughout the Big Data Grapes stack, highlighting the frameworks and components involved in the process. Moreover, applying data generation techniques create projected datasets per dataset. We then experiment on each of the identified data flow steps by describing 3 usage scenarios for each. During the execution of each scenario for each step, we monitor the chosen performance metrics, showing the respective diagrams and analysing the outcomes. For the two remaining pilots we perform large scale estimates of the data growth patterns. This deliverable also presents an end to end report for each of the pilot’s data flows, identifying bottlenecks and making suggestions to improve the performance where needed.

description: Impedance measurements provide a useful probe of the physics of bolometers and calorimeters. We describe a method for measuring the complex impedance of these devices. In previous work, stray impedances and readout electronics of the measurement apparatus have resulted in artifacts in the impedance data. The new technique allows experimenters to find an independent Thevenin or Norton equivalent circuit for each frequency. This method allows experimenters to easily isolate the device impedance from the effects of parasitic impedances and frequency dependent gains in amplifiers.

description: In Navier-Stokes turbulence, energy and helicity injected at large scales are subject to a joint direct cascade, with both quantities exhibiting a spectral scaling $\propto k^{-5/3}$. We demonstrate via direct numerical simulations that the two cascades are compatible due to the existence of a strong scale-dependent phase alignment between velocity and vorticity fluctuations, with the phase alignment angle scaling as $\cosα_k\propto k^{-1}$.

description: A popular three-dimensional reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for the description of bound states in quantum field theory is the Salpeter equation, derived by assuming both instantaneous interactions and free propagation of all bound-state constituents. Numerical (variational) studies of the Salpeter equation with confining interaction, however, observed specific instabilities of the solutions, likely related to the Klein paradox and rendering (part of the) bound states unstable. An analytic investigation of this problem by a comprehensive spectral analysis is feasible for the reduced Salpeter equation with only harmonic-oscillator confining interactions. There we are able to prove rigorously that the bound-state solutions correspond to real discrete energy spectra bounded from below and are thus free of any instabilities.

description: U.S. farms applied an average 556 million pounds of pesticides in 354 million acre-treatments on 175 million acres of field, fruit, and vegetable crops annually from 1977 to 1980. These figures are based on reported pesticide use in surveys completed in various years and do not include all of the above crops in any year surveyed. Because planted acreage showed minimal annual change, general pesticide use per planted acre probably did not vary much from year to year. However, this may not be true for specific pesticides. Herbicides constituted 68 percent of the acre-treatments, insecticides 26 percent, fungicides 4 percent, and all other pesticides 2 percent. Field crops accounted for 89 percent of the acre-treatments, fruits 6 percent, and vegetables 5 percent. Although field corn and soybean farmers accounted for 68 percent of the acre-treatments, the intensity of application was lower for these crops than for other surveyed crops.

description: We trace the emergence of the ``New Minimal'' supersymmetric SO(10) GUT (NMSGUT) out of the debris created by our demonstration that the MSGUT is falsified by the data. The NMSGUT is based on ${\bf{210\oplus 10\oplus 120\oplus 126\oplus {\bar {126}}}}$ Higgs system. It has only spontaneous CP violation and Type I seesaw. With only 24 real superpotential parameters it is the simplest model capable of accommodating the known 18 parameter fermion mass data set and yet has enough freedom to accommodate the still unknown Leptonic CP violation and neutrino mass scale parameters. Our focus is on the two most salient features uncovered by our analysis: the domination of the ${\bf{\bar{126}}}$ Yukawa couplings by those of the ${\bf{10,120}}$ (required for evasion of the no-go that trapped the MSGUT) and the inescapable raising of the Baryon violation scales(and thus suppression of proton decay) decreed by a proper inclusion of the threshold effects associated with the calculated superheavy spectra. These two structural features are shown to be complementary.

description: We present the optical identification and spectroscopy of the host galaxy of GRB 050826 at a redshift z = 0.296 +/- 0.001. Image subtraction among observations obtained on three consecutive nights, reveals a fading object 5 hours after the burst, confirming its identification as the optical afterglow of this event. Deep imaging shows that the optical afterglow is offset by 0.4 arcseconds (~1.76 kpc) from the center of its irregular host galaxy, which is typical for long-duration gamma-ray bursts. Combining these results with X-ray measurements acquired by the Swift XRT instrument, we find that GRB 050826 falls entirely within the subluminous, subenergetic group of long gamma-ray bursts at low redshift (z < 0.3). The results are discussed in the context of models that possibly account for this trend, including the nature of the central engine, the evolution of progenitor properties as a function of redshift, and incompleteness in current gamma-ray burst samples.

description: We discuss annular confinement for electrons on liquid helium surface induced by a tubular electrode submerged beneath the surface. For shallow liquid layer above the tube the resulting potential has a minimum off the axis of the tube. The symmetry transitions in the ground-state driven by external magnetic field can be resolved by the microwave spectroscopy provided that the confinement radii in the first and second Rydberg subbands of the vertical quantization are different. This condition can be fulfilled for submersion depth of the tube comparable to its radius. Then, discontinuities in the main absorption line appear with the period that corresponds to the subsequent magnetic flux quanta passing across the area within the ground-state confinement radius.

description: Organized by the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS), a Monte Carlo code intercomparison exercise was conducted where participants simulated the emitted electron spectra and energy deposition around a single gold nanoparticle (GNP) irradiated by X-rays. In the exercise, the participants scored energy imparted in concentric spherical shells around a spherical volume filled with gold or water as well as the spectral distribution of electrons leaving the GNP. Initially, only the ratio of energy deposition with and without GNP was to be reported. During the evaluation of the exercise, however, the data for energy deposition in the presence and absence of the GNP were also requested. A GNP size of 50 nm and 100 nm diameter was considered as well as two different X-ray spectra (50 kVp and 100kVp). This introduced a redundancy that can be used to cross-validate the internal consistency of the simulation results. In this work, evaluation of the reported results is presented in terms of integral quantities that can be benchmarked against values obtained from physical properties of the radiation spectra and materials involved. The impact of different interaction cross-section datasets and their implementation in the different Monte Carlo codes is also discussed.

description: In this book, we consider various many-valued logics: standard, linear, hyperbolic, parabolic, non-Archimedean, p-adic, interval, neutrosophic, etc. We survey also results which show the tree different proof-theoretic frameworks for many-valued logics, e.g. frameworks of the following deductive calculi: Hilbert's style, sequent, and hypersequent. We present a general way that allows to construct systematically analytic calculi for a large family of non-Archimedean many-valued logics: hyperrational-valued, hyperreal-valued, and p-adic valued logics characterized by a special format of semantics with an appropriate rejection of Archimedes' axiom. These logics are built as different extensions of standard many-valued logics (namely, Lukasiewicz's, Goedel's, Product, and Post's logics). The informal sense of Archimedes' axiom is that anything can be measured by a ruler. Also logical multiple-validity without Archimedes' axiom consists in that the set of truth values is infinite and it is not well-founded and well-ordered. On the base of non-Archimedean valued logics, we construct non-Archimedean valued interval neutrosophic logic INL by which we can describe neutrality phenomena.

description: Manipulation of spin-polarized electronic states of two-dimensional (2D) materials under ambient conditions is necessary for developing new quantum devices with small physical dimensions. Here, we explore spin-dependent electronic structures of ultra-thin films of recently introduced 2D synthetic materials MSi$_2$Z$_4$ (M = Mo or W and Z = N or As) using first-principles modeling. Stacking of MSi$_2$Z$_4$ monolayers is found to generate dynamically stable bilayer and bulk materials with thickness-dependent properties. When spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is included in the computations, MSi$_2$N$_4$ monolayers display indirect bandgaps and large spin-split states at the $K$ and $K'$ symmetry points at the corners of the Brillouin zone with nearly 100\% spin polarization. The spins are locked in opposite directions along an out-of-the-plane direction at $K$ and $K'$, leading to spin-valley coupling effects. As expected, spin polarization is absent in the pristine bilayers due to the presence of inversion symmetry, but it can be induced via an external out-of-plane electric field much like the case of Mo(W)S$_2$ bilayers. A transition from an indirect to a direct bandgap can be driven by replacing N by As in MSi$_2$(N, As)$_4$ monolayers. Our study indicates that the MSi$_2$Z$_4$ materials can provide a viable alternative to the MoS$_2$ class of 2D materials for valleytronics and optoelectronics applications.

A random walker on a ratchet potential: Effect of a non Gaussian noise

description: We analyze the effect of a colored non Gaussian noise on a model of a random walker moving along a ratchet potential. Such a model was motivated by the transport properties of motor proteins, like kinesin and myosin. Previous studies have been realized assuming white noises. However, for real situations, in general we could expect that those noises be correlated and non Gaussian. Among other aspects, in addition to a maximum in the current as the noise intensity is varied, we have also found another optimal value of the current when departing from Gaussian behavior. We show the relevant effects that arise when departing from Gaussian behavior, particularly related to current's enhancement, and discuss its relevance for both biological and technological situations.

Converting genetic network oscillations into somite spatial pattern

description: In most vertebrate species, the body axis is generated by the formation of repeated transient structures called somites. This spatial periodicity in somitogenesis has been related to the temporally sustained oscillations in certain mRNAs and their associated gene products in the cells forming the presomatic mesoderm. The mechanism underlying these oscillations have been identified as due to the delays involved in the synthesis of mRNA and translation into protein molecules [J. Lewis, Current Biol. {\bf 13}, 1398 (2003)]. In addition, in the zebrafish embryo intercellular Notch signalling couples these oscillators and a longitudinal positional information signal in the form of an Fgf8 gradient exists that could be used to transform these coupled temporal oscillations into the observed spatial periodicity of somites. Here we consider a simple model based on this known biology and study its consequences for somitogenesis. Comparison is made with the known properties of somite formation in the zebrafish embryo . We also study the effects of localized Fgf8 perturbations on somite patterning.

The universe during epochs of accelerating expansion

Inflation
Primordial Inflation
Quintessential Inflation

description: Cosmic inflation, the accelerated expansion of the early Universe, is an
      accepted pillar in the foundations of modern cosmology. This is due mainly
      to its success at explaining several anomalies between observations and
      the existing Hot Big Bang model of the Universe, but a specific model is
      not agreed upon in the literature. The Universe has also recently been
      observed to enter another phase of accelerating expansion, driven by an
      unexplained mechanism called ‘dark energy’.

      The research presented in this thesis grows organically; starting with an
      investigation into novel inflationary models and developing into
      quintessential inflation models. The latter explain both the primordial
      inflation and dark energy observations using one minimal framework.

      A new family of inflation models is presented, which excellently match
      observations for natural parameter values, and a derivation from
      supergravity is demonstrated. A period of thermal inflation allows the
      supergravity realisation of hybrid inflation to be realigned with
      observations. A new approach to inflection-point inflation is developed,
      which is considerably less fine-tuned and exotic than previous models.

      Two novel quintessential inflation models are introduced, the first
      embedded in α-attractors - a compelling framework of inflationary model
      building and the second in Gauss-Bonnet gravity - an extension to General
      Relativity.

      Detailed investigations of reheating after inflation are undertaken,
      focusing on gravitational reheating and instant preheating, analysing the
      necessary constraints including those from supergravity. Along the way,
      there is a brief diversion into primordial black holes, investigating how
      a slow reheating period affects their formation rates.
