Soft factors for double parton scattering at NNLO
Creators: name: Vladimirov, Alexey
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show at NNLO that the soft factors for double parton scattering (DPS) for both integrated and unintegrated kinematics, can be presented entirely in the terms of the soft factor for single Drell-Yan process, i.e. the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) soft factor. Using the linearity of the logarithm of TMD soft factor in rapidity divergences, we decompose the DPS soft factor matrices into a product of matrices with rapidity divergences in given sectors, and thus, define individual double parton distributions at NNLO. The rapidity anomalous dimension matrices for double parton distributions are presented in the terms of TMD rapidity anomalous dimension. The analysis is done using the generating function approach to web diagrams. Significant part of the result is obtained from the symmetry properties of web diagrams without referring to explicit expressions or a particular rapidity regularization scheme. Additionally, we present NNLO expression for the web diagram generating function for Wilson lines with two light-like directions.

High degree of current rectification at nanoscale level

description: We address an unexpectedly large rectification using a simple quantum wire with correlated site potentials. The external electric field, associated with voltage bias, leads to unequal charge currents for two different polarities of external bias and this effect is further enhanced by incorporating the asymmetry in wire-to-electrode coupling. Our calculations suggest that in some cases almost cent percent rectification is obtained for a wide bias window. This performance is valid against disorder configurations and thus we can expect an experimental verification of our theoretical analysis in near future.

Examination of the sensitivity of the thermal fits to heavy-ion hadron yield data to the modeling of the eigenvolume interactions

description: The hadron-resonance gas (HRG) model with the mass-proportional eigenvolume (EV) corrections is employed to fit the hadron yield data of the NA49 collaboration for central Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}} = 6.3, 7.6, 8.8, 12.3,$ and $17.3$ GeV, the hadron midrapidity yield data of the STAR collaboration for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 200$ GeV, and the hadron midrapidity yield data of the ALICE collaboration for Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2760$ GeV. At given bombarding energy, for a given set of radii, the EV HRG model fits do not just yield a single $T-μ_B$ pair, but a whole range of $T-μ_B$ pairs, each with similarly good fit quality. These pairs form a valley in the $T-μ_B$ plane along a line of nearly constant entropy per baryon, $S/A$, which increases nearly linearly with bombarding energy $E_{\rm lab}$. The entropy per baryon values extracted from the data at the different energies are a robust observable: it is almost independent of the details of the modeling of the eigenvolume interactions and of the specific $T-μ_B$ values obtained. These results show that the extraction of the chemical freeze-out temperature and chemical potential is extremely sensitive to the modeling of the short-range repulsion between the hadrons. This implies that the ideal point-particle HRG values are not unique. The wide range of the extracted $T$ and $μ_B$ values suggested by the eigenvolume HRG fits, as well as the approximately constant $S/A$ at freeze-out, are consistent with a non-equilibrium scenario of continuous freeze-out, where hadrons can be chemically frozen-out throughout the extended space-time regions during the evolution of the system. Even when the EV HRG fits are restricted to modest temperatures suggested by lattice QCD, the strong systematic effects of EV interactions are observed.

Australia is at the verge of major demographic change. It has an ageing population, which is mainly attributed to a falling fertility rate and longer life expectancy. There is no doubt this demographic trend will have a significant impact on the government budget and the economy as a whole. This thesis studies the impact of ageing in the long run on micro and macroeconomic developments in Australia, based on the closed economy large scale overlapping generations model. The model includes two modules: population and economic. The economic module feeds the data from the population module to account for realistic demographic changes in the long run. Based on recent debates in Australia, three main areas were targeted for economic analysis and simulations in the long run: personal income tax, pension reform and immigration reforms. The model was firstly calibrated into the Australian economy to project the transition path of the economy, encompassing only demographic changes without any policy simulations. The findings suggest that ageing will have a significant impact on the government budget in terms of pension benefits and health care costs. The labour supply will increase by a lesser degree compared to capital stock, resulting in a reduction of capital price and a rise in wages. The living standards in terms of per capita income were found to decrease after 2030, when most of the baby boomers will be retired. In this regard, several policy simulations were considered to ease the effect of ageing. The adoption of flat income tax, an elimination of personal income tax and a move towards consumption tax were found to have a positive effect on the economy, with a small welfare loss of older generations for a later case compared to the utility achieved without policy reform and the most benefits accruing to high-income individuals in both scenarios. The pension reform policies, including increasing pension age, show the tax burden on the working population with decrease, but the result will be offset if benefits are increased by twenty per cent. Simulations of flat pension policy system for all income groups show a benefit to mostly high and middle-income earners.

description: Fact-checking is one of the effective solutions in fighting online misinformation. However, traditional fact-checking is a process requiring scarce expert human resources, and thus does not scale well on social media because of the continuous flow of new content to be checked. Methods based on crowdsourcing have been proposed to tackle this challenge, as they can scale with a smaller cost, but, while they have shown to be feasible, have always been studied in controlled environments. In this work, we study the first large-scale effort of crowdsourced fact-checking deployed in practice, started by Twitter with the Birdwatch program. Our analysis shows that crowdsourcing may be an effective fact-checking strategy in some settings, even comparable to results obtained by human experts, but does not lead to consistent, actionable results in others. We processed 11.9k tweets verified by the Birdwatch program and report empirical evidence of i) differences in how the crowd and experts select content to be fact-checked, ii) how the crowd and the experts retrieve different resources to fact-check, and iii) the edge the crowd shows in fact-checking scalability and efficiency as compared to expert checkers.

description: We consider the limiting spectral distribution of matrices of the form $\frac{1}{2b_{n}+1} (R + X)(R + X)^{*}$, where $X$ is an $n\times n$ band matrix of bandwidth $b_{n}$ and $R$ is a non random band matrix of bandwidth $b_{n}$. We show that the Stieltjes transform of ESD of such matrices converges to the Stieltjes transform of a non-random measure. And the limiting Stieltjes transform satisfies an integral equation. For $R=0$, the integral equation yields the Stieltjes transform of the Marchenko-Pastur law.

A Pragmatic Methodology for Blind Hardware Trojan Insertion in Finalized Layouts

description: A potential vulnerability for integrated circuits (ICs) is the insertion of hardware trojans (HTs) during manufacturing. Understanding the practicability of such an attack can lead to appropriate measures for mitigating it. In this paper, we demonstrate a pragmatic framework for analyzing HT susceptibility of finalized layouts. Our framework is representative of a fabrication-time attack, where the adversary is assumed to have access only to a layout representation of the circuit. The framework inserts trojans into tapeout-ready layouts utilizing an Engineering Change Order (ECO) flow. The attacked security nodes are blindly searched utilizing reverse-engineering techniques. For our experimental investigation, we utilized three crypto-cores (AES-128, SHA-256, and RSA) and a microcontroller (RISC-V) as targets. We explored 96 combinations of triggers, payloads and targets for our framework. Our findings demonstrate that even in high-density designs, the covert insertion of sophisticated trojans is possible. All this while maintaining the original target logic, with minimal impact on power and performance. Furthermore, from our exploration, we conclude that it is too naive to only utilize placement resources as a metric for HT vulnerability. This work highlights that the HT insertion success is a complex function of the placement, routing resources, the position of the attacked nodes, and further design-specific characteristics. As a result, our framework goes beyond just an attack, we present the most advanced analysis tool to assess the vulnerability of HT insertion into finalized layouts.

Magnetoacoustic Waves in a Stratified Atmosphere with a Magnetic Null Point

description: We perform nonlinear MHD simulations to study the propagation of magnetoacoustic waves from the photosphere to the low corona. We focus on a 2D system with a gravitationally stratified atmosphere and three photospheric concentrations of magnetic flux that give rise to a magnetic null point with a magnetic dome topology. We find that a single wavepacket introduced at the lower boundary splits into multiple secondary wavepackets. A portion of the packet refracts towards the null due to the varying Alfvén speed. Waves incident on the equipartition contour surrounding the null, where the sound and Alfvén speeds coincide, partially transmit, reflect, and mode convert between branches of the local dispersion relation. Approximately $15.5\%$ of the wavepacket's initial energy ($E_{input}$) converges on the null, mostly as a fast magnetoacoustic wave. Conversion is very efficient: $70\%$ of the energy incident on the null is converted to slow modes propagating away from the null, $7\%$ leaves as a fast wave, and the remaining $23\%$ (0.036$E_{input}$) is locally dissipated. The acoustic energy leaving the null is strongly concentrated along field lines near each of the null's four separatrices. The portion of the wavepacket that refracts towards the null, and the amount of current accumulation, depends on the vertical and horizontal wavenumbers and the centroid position of the wavepacket as it crosses the photosphere. Regions that refract towards or away from the null do not simply coincide with regions of open versus closed magnetic field or the local field orientation. We also modeled wavepacket propagation using a WKB method and found that it agrees qualitatively, though not quantitatively, with the results of the numerical simulation.

Measurement of the transverse momentum spectrum of the Higgs boson produced in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV using H to WW decays

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The cross section for Higgs boson production in pp collisions is studied using the H to WW decay mode, followed by leptonic decays of the W bosons to an oppositely charged electron-muon pair in the final state. The measurements are performed using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.4 inverse femtobarns. The Higgs boson transverse momentum (pT) is reconstructed using the lepton pair pT and missing pT. The differential cross section times branching fraction is measured as a function of the Higgs boson pT in a fiducial phase space defined to match the experimental acceptance in terms of the lepton kinematics and event topology. The production cross section times branching fraction in the fiducial phase space is measured to be 39 +/- 8 (stat) +/- 9 (syst) fb. The measurements are found to agree, within experimental uncertainties, with theoretical calculations based on the standard model.

description: Ein Merkmal von Bibliotheken ist im allgemeinen deren Nutzerorientierung. Nutzer- oder Kundenorientierung ist in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Lehre Voraussetzung für erfolgreiches Marketing. Ein wichtiges Ziel des Marketing, nämlich der wirtschaftliche Erfolg im Sinne eines finanziellen Gewinns, ist dagegen eher untypisch für Bibliotheken. Aber auch die in der Bibliotheksarbeit verfolgten Ziele, z.B. sachgerechte Informationsversorgung der Nutzer, rechtfertigen Marketingmaßnahmen. Der Vortrag wird theoretische Aspekte des Marketings (Nutzeranalyse, Angebotsgestaltung, Werbung u.a.) verknüpfen mit praktikablen Aktionen für Bibliotheken. Die durch erfolgreiches Marketing von Non-Profit-Organisationen erreichbaren Resultate liegen primär im Imagebereich. Gerade das positive Image einer Bibliothek ist heutzutage wegen seiner Auswirkungen auf die Motivation der Mitarbeiter und das Verhalten der Nutzer von großer Bedeutung.
Multiplayer parallel repetition for expander games

description: We investigate the value of parallel repetition of one-round games with any number of players $k\ge 2$. It has been an open question whether an analogue of Raz's Parallel Repetition Theorem holds for games with more than two players, i.e., whether the value of the repeated game decays exponentially with the number of repetitions. Verbitsky has shown, via a reduction to the density Hales-Jewett theorem, that the value of the repeated game must approach zero, as the number of repetitions increases. However, the rate of decay obtained in this way is extremely slow, and it is an open question whether the true rate is exponential as is the case for all two-player games. Exponential decay bounds are known for several special cases of multi-player games, e.g., free games and anchored games. In this work, we identify a certain expansion property of the base game and show all games with this property satisfy an exponential decay parallel repetition bound. Free games and anchored games satisfy this expansion property, and thus our parallel repetition theorem reproduces all earlier exponential-decay bounds for multiplayer games. More generally, our parallel repetition bound applies to all multiplayer games that are connected in a certain sense. We also describe a very simple game, called the GHZ game, that does not satisfy this connectivity property, and for which we do not know an exponential decay bound. We suspect that progress on bounding the value of this the parallel repetition of the GHZ game will lead to further progress on the general question.

Dynamical tuning between nearly perfect reflection, absorption, and transmission of light via graphene/dielectric structures

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: Exerting well-defined control over the reflection $(R)$, absorption $(A)$, and transmission $(T)$ of electromagnetic waves is a key objective in quantum optics. To this end, one often utilizes hybrid structures comprised of elements with different optical properties in order to achieve features such as high $R$ or high $A$ for incident light. A desirable goal would be the possibility to tune between all three regimes of nearly perfect reflection, absorption, and transmission within the same device, thus swapping between the cases $R\to 1$, $A\to1$, and $T\to1$ dynamically. We here show that a dielectric interfaced with a graphene layer on each side allows for precisely this: by tuning only the Fermi level of graphene, all three regimes can be reached in the THz regime and below. Moreover, we show that the inclusion of cylindrical defects in the system offers a different type of control of the scattering of electromagnetic waves by means of the graphene layers.

Scaling of decoherence in wide quantum registers

Publisher: name: The American Physical Society
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: 530

description: Among the most important parameters for the usefulness of quantum computers are the size of the quantum register and the decoherence time for the quantum information. The decoherence time is expected to get shorter with the number of correlated qubits, but experimental data are only available for small numbers of qubits. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance allows one to correlate large numbers of qubits (several hundred) and measure their decoherence rates. We use a modified magnetic dipole-dipole interaction to correlate the proton spins in a solid sample and observe the decay of the resulting highly correlated states. By systematically varying the number of correlated spins, we measure the increase of the decoherence rate with the size of the quantum register.

description: We derive sharp bounds for the prices of VIX futures using the full information of S&P 500 smiles. To that end, we formulate the model-free sub/superreplication of the VIX by trading in the S&P 500 and its vanilla options as well as the forward-starting log-contracts. A dual problem of minimizing/maximizing certain risk-neutral expectations is introduced and shown to yield the same value. The classical bounds for VIX futures given the smiles only use a calendar spread of log-contracts on the S&P 500. We analyze for which smiles the classical bounds are sharp and how they can be improved when they are not. In particular, we introduce a family of functionally generated portfolios which often improves the classical bounds while still being tractable; more precisely, determined by a single concave/convex function on the line. Numerical experiments on market data and SABR smiles show that the classical lower bound can be improved dramatically, whereas the upper bound is often close to optimal.

description: Recently, new observables in LHC inclusive events with three tagged jets were proposed. Here, we extend that proposal to events with four tagged jets. The events are characterised by one jet in the forward direction, one in the backward direction with a large rapidity distance $Y$ from the first one and two more jets tagged in more central regions of the detector. In our setup, non-tagged associated mini-jet multiplicity is present and needs to be accounted for by the inclusion of BFKL gluon Green functions. The projection of the cross section on azimuthal-angle components opens up the opportunity for defining new ratios of correlation functions of the azimuthal angle differences among the tagged jets that can be used as probes of the BFKL dynamics.

description: Coherent averaging with time-dependent magnetic fields at low and zero static magnetic fields encounters several features which are unfamiliar in high-field magnetic resonance. The principal differences are that magnetic field pulses act generally on all spin species in the sample and that the Hamiltonian contains additional terms that are normally discarded in a high static magnetic field. We illustrate how the full Hamiltonian or different terms of the Hamiltonian may be averaged to zero by sequences of 90° rotations around the x, y, and z axes. The two limiting cases of ideal delta-function pulses and windowless sequences are treated. We also show that the duality between rotations of space coordinates and spin coordinates allows one to replace spatial reorientations of the sample, such as magic-angle spinning, by time-dependent magnetic fields. Sequences of delta-function pulses at zero field are analogous to recursive expansion schemes of multiple-pulse sequences at high field. The terms of the full Hamiltonian appear also in the average Hamiltonian of high-field pulse sequences and can be manipulated by the same sequence of configurations as in zero-field multiple-pulse NMR.

Komlós's tiling theorem via graphon covers

description: Komlos [Komlos: Tiling Turan Theorems, Combinatorica, 2000] determined the asymptotically optimal minimum-degree condition for covering a given proportion of vertices of a host graph by vertex-disjoint copies of a fixed graph H, thus essentially extending the Hajnal-Szemeredi theorem which deals with the case when H is a clique. We give a proof of a graphon version of Komlos's theorem. To prove this graphon version, and also to deduce from it the original statement about finite graphs, we use the machinery introduced in [Hladky, Hu, Piguet: Tilings in graphons, arXiv:1606.03113]. We further prove a stability version of Komlos's theorem.

description: The chemical evolution of the Universe and several phases of the stellar life are regulated by minute nuclear reactions. The key point for each of these reactions is the value of cross sections at the energies at which they take place in stellar environments. Direct cross-section measurements are mainly hampered by the very low counting rate and by cosmic background, nevertheless they have become possible by combining the best experimental techniques with the cosmic silence of an underground laboratory. In the nineties the LUNA (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics) collaboration opened the era of underground nuclear astrophysics installing first a home-made 50 kV and later on, a second 400 kV accelerator under the Gran Sasso mountain in Italy: in 25 years of experimental activity, important reactions responsible for hydrogen burning could have been studied down to the relevant energies thanks to the high current proton and helium beams provided by the machines. The interest to the next and warmer stages of star evolution (i.e. post main sequence, helium and carbon burning) drove a new project based on an ion accelerator in the MV range called LUNA-MV, able to deliver proton, helium and carbon beams. The present contribution is aimed to discuss the state-of-the-art for some selected key processes of post main sequence stellar phases: the 12Cag and the 12C+12C fundamental for helium and carbon burning phases, and 13Can and 22Neag that are relevant to the synthesis of heavy elements in AGB stars. The perspectives opened by an underground MV-facility will be highlighted.

description: Le présent article a pour but d'étudier le comportement mécanique de la zone tendue dans les assemblages boulonnés par platine d'about. Elle est modélisée par des tronçons en té se caractérisant par une longueur efficace et une résistance. Le diamètre et la position des boulons, épaisseur de la semelle du tronçon ainsi que la précontrainte dans les boulons, cette dernière influent sur son mode de ruine et sa rigidité. Un modèle numérique a été développé afin d'évaluer les performances mécaniques d'un tronçon en té comportant deux rangées de boulons avec et sans précontrainte. L'évolution des efforts internes dans les boulons et des efforts de levier ont été présentés. La courbe force déplacement globale a été comparée et validée avec des essais expérimentaux disponibles dans la bibliographie.

description: We consider the problem of characterizing the set of input-output correlations that can be generated by an arbitrarily given quantum measurement. Our main result is to provide a closed-form, full characterization of such a set for any qubit measurement, and to discuss its geometrical interpretation. As applications, we further specify our results to the cases of real and complex symmetric, informationally complete measurements and mutually unbiased bases of a qubit, in the presence of isotropic noise. Our results provide the optimal device-independent tests of quantum measurements.
