description: We propose a novel antiparticle detector. The gaseous antiparticle spectrometer (GAPS) effects particle identification through the characteristic X-rays emitted by antiparticles when they form exotic atoms in gases. GAPS obtains particularly high grasp (effective area--solid angle product) at lower particle energies, where conventional schemes are most limited in their utility. The concept is simple and lightweight, so it can be readily employed on balloon and space-based missions. An extremely powerful potential application of GAPS is a space-based search for the neutralino through the detection of a neutralino annihilation by-product -- the antideuteron. Paradoxically, this space-based search for the neutralino is capable of achieving comparable sensitivity to as yet unrealized third generation, underground dark matter experiments. And GAPS can obtain this performance in a very modest satellite experiment. GAPS can also provide superior performance in searches for primary antiprotons produced via neutralino annihilation, black hole evaporation and in probing subdominant contributions to the antiproton flux at low energies. In a deep space mission GAPS will obtain higher sensitivity for a given weight and power than BGO calorimeters.

description: We determined the chemical and kinematic properties of the Galactic thin and thick disk using a sample of 307,246 A/F/G/K-type giant stars from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey and Gaia DR2 survey. Our study found that the thick disk globally exhibits no metallicity radial gradient, but the inner disk ($R \le 8$ kpc) and the outer disk ($R>8$ kpc) have different gradients when they are studied separately. The thin disk also shows two different metallicity radial gradients for the inner disk and the outer disk, and has steep metallicity vertical gradient of d[Fe/H]/d$|z|$ $=-0.12\pm0.0007$ dex kpc$^{-1}$, but it becomes flat when it is measured at increasing radial distance, while the metallicity radial gradient becomes weaker with increasing vertical distance. Adopting a galaxy potential model, we derived the orbital eccentricity of sample stars and found a downtrend of average eccentricity with increasing metallicity for the thick disk. The variation of the rotation velocity with the metallicity shows a positive gradient for the thick disk stars and a negative one for the thin disk stars. Comparisons of our observed results with models of disk formation suggest that radial migration could have influenced the chemical evolution of the thin disk. The formation of the thick disk could be affected by more than one processes: the accretion model could play an indispensable role, while other formation mechanisms, such as the radial migration or heating scenario model could also have a contribution.

description: We continue our study of codimension two solutions of warped space-time varying compactifications of string theory. In this letter we discuss a non-supersymmetric solution of the classical type IIB string theory with de Sitter gravity on a codimension two uncompactified part of spacetime. A non-zero positive value of the cosmological constant is induced by the presence of non-trivial stringy moduli, such as the axion-dilaton system for the type IIB string theory. Furthermore, the naked singularity of the codimension two solution is resolved by the presence of a small but non-zero cosmological constant.

title: Measurement of the Ωc0 baryon lifetime with LHCb

Subjects: subject: Baryon, CERN, LHCb, lifetime, Omega, neutral, charm, flavour, physics, D0, hqet, run 2, run 1, proton proton, collision data, tau, heavy quark effective theory, pkkpi.

description: The results of the measurement of the Ωc0 charmed baryon lifetime via the Ωb → Ωc0π decay mode are presented in this thesis. The result makes use of the proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb detector at CERN in the years 2011-2012 and 2015-2016 using the full 8.7 fb⁻¹ total integrated luminosity data. The lifetime of the Ωc0 baryon was measured to be τΩc0 = 238 ± 33 (stat) ± 21 (syst) ± 1 (τD⁰) fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third due to the use of the world-average D⁰ lifetime. The lifetime is measured as a ratio of Ωb → Ωc0π to B → D⁰π decays in order to cancel out the decay time dependent reconstruction and selection efficiencies, using 284 Ωc0 and 55317 D⁰ candidates. The measurement agrees with the previous LHCb measurement in 2016 [1], at -0.63σ from the measurement, using data collected in 2011-2012 of τΩc0 = 268 ± 24 ± 10 fs, which reorders the hierarchy of the charmed baryon lifetimes predicted in the heavy quark effective theory.

description: We investigate the local symmetry of the tilting of the CuO$_6$ octahedra in La$_{\rm 1.65}$Eu$_{\rm 0.2}$Sr$_{\rm 0.15}$CuO$_{4}$ by means of $^{63}$Cu NMR spectroscopy and the Van Vleck susceptibility of the $\rm Eu^{3+}$ ions. The Cu NMR central line lineshape is sensitive to local structure through the coupling of the $^{63}\rm Cu$ nuclear quadrupole moment to the local electric field gradient.The $\rm Eu^{3+}$ Van Vleck susceptibility, as a single ion effect, locally probes the symmetry of the crystal field at the Eu site. Both techniques independently provide clear evidence for a change of the local tilt symmetry at the first order structural transition from the orthorhombic to the low temperature tetragonal phase, in excellent agreement with the average structure obtained by diffraction techniques. We conclude that the symmetry of the average crystal structure accurately represents the symmetry of the octahedral tilt pattern on a local scale.

description: Exploring and surveilling the marine environment away from shore is critical for scientific, economic, and military purposes as we progress through the 21st century. Until recently, these missions far from shore were only possible using manned surface vehicles. Over the past decade, advances in energy density, actuators, electronics, and controls have enabled great improvements in vehicle endurance, yet, no solution is capable of supporting persistent operation especially when considering power hungry scientific surveys. This dissertation summarizes contributions related to the development of an adaptable underwater docking station and associated navigation solutions to allow applications in the wide range of maritime missions. The adaptable docking system is a novel approach to the standard funnel shaped docking station design that enables the dock to be collapsible, portable, and support a wide range of vehicles. It has been optimized and tested extensively in simulation. Field experiments in both pool and open water validate the simulation results. The associated control strategies for approach and terminal homing are also introduced and studied in simulation and field trials. These strategies are computationally efficient and enable operation in a variety of scenarios and conditions. Combined, the adaptable docking system and associated navigation strategies can form a baseline for future extended endurance missions away from manned support.

description: The preliminary design of the beam transport system for TRIUMF beam line 1, as described in report TRI-68-8¹ and updated by communications with the University of Victoria group, was reviewed. Special attention was given to the portion of the transport system located between the combination magnet and the first target since it was felt that substantial cost savings could be realized by simplifications of this beam transport section. Four basic systems were studied, namely: 1) A system with three 30 deg bending magnets whereof one - the middle - creates a reverse bend (reverse bend system) 2) A modified achromatic system with three or four identical gradient bending magnets (gradient-magnet bend system) 3) A modified-achromatic system with two 15 deg bending magnets (two-magnet bend system) a) A dispersion-correcting system with one 30 deg bending magnet having wedge-shaped poles (single-magnet bend system/wedge magnet) b) A dispersion-correcting system with one 30 deg bending magnet having rectangular poles (single-magnet bend system/rectangular magnet) For transport of the beams between targets T1 and T2 as well as between targets T2 and T3, the use of the symmetric identity sections described in TRI-68-8 was adopted after certain aperture adjustments to permit acceptance of 95.5% of the beam emerging from a target with a thickness of 5 g cm⁻² . The transport of the beam from target T3 to the neutron target (beam dump) is done by a transport system described in memorandum by M. Tautz² (May 13, 1969). This system supersedes the one outlined in TRI-68-8. Cost estimates have been made for beam transport systems 1), 4a) and 4b) above, in combination with two identity sections and the revised system for transport of the beam from target T3 to the beam dump. Based on the results of the study work done, it is recommended that a dispersion-correcting beam transport system consisting of eight quadrupole magnets, a combination magnet and a 30 deg bending magnet, both with square pole tip edges, be used in beam line 1. The total recommended beam line is shown in Figure 1. The total cost of the recommended system, including all magnets with stands, all power supplies, and vacuum tanks for the magnets, but not including water cooling system, beam pipe, vacuum system, controls or beam diagnostic equipment, is estimated at $285,667.(US).
Feature-Based Transfer Learning for Robotic Push Manipulation

description: This paper presents a data-efficient approach to learning transferable forward models for robotic push manipulation. Our approach extends our previous work on contact-based predictors by leveraging information on the pushed object's local surface features. We test the hypothesis that, by conditioning predictions on local surface features, we can achieve generalisation across objects of different shapes. In doing so, we do not require a CAD model of the object but rather rely on a point cloud object model (PCOM). Our approach involves learning motion models that are specific to contact models. Contact models encode the contacts seen during training time and allow generating similar contacts at prediction time. Predicting on familiar ground reduces the motion models' sample complexity while using local contact information for prediction increases their transferability. In extensive experiments in simulation, our approach is capable of transfer learning for various test objects, outperforming a baseline predictor. We support those results with a proof of concept on a real robot.

description: The power spectral density (PSD) of the X-ray emission variability from the accretion disc-corona region of black hole X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei has a broken power law shape with a characteristic break time-scale. If the disc and the jet are connected, the jet variability may also contain a characteristic time-scale related to that of the disc-corona. Recent observations of the blazar Mrk 421 have confirmed the broken power law shape of the PSD of its jet X-ray variability. We model the time variability of a blazar, in which emitting particles are assumed to be accelerated by successive shock waves flowing down the jet with a varying inter-shock time-scale. We investigate the possible relation between the characteristic time-scales in the disc and jet variability based on the above model, along with mathematically and physically simulated disc variability. We find that both the PSD of the jet and disc variability may have a broken power law shape but the break time-scales are not related in general except only in systems with a small range of BH mass. The break in the jet and the disc PSD are connected to the interval between large amplitude outbursts in the jet (inter-shock time-scale) and to the viscous time-scale in the disc, respectively. In frequency bands where multiple emission processes are involved or emission is from lower energy particles, the break in the PSD may not be prominent enough for detection.

description: We show that a combination of the simplest $α$-attractors and KKLTI models related to Dp-brane inflation covers most of the area in the ($n_{s}$, $r$) space favored by Planck 2018. For $α$-attractor models, there are discrete targets $3α=1,2,...,7$, predicting 7 different values of $r = 12α/N^{2}$ in the range $10^{-2} \gtrsim r \gtrsim 10^{-3}$. In the small $r$ limit, $α$-attractors and Dp-brane inflation models describe vertical $β$-stripes in the ($n_{s}$, $r$) space, with $n_{s}=1-β/N$, $β=2, {5\over 3},{8\over 5}, {3\over 2},{4\over 3}$. A phenomenological description of these models and their generalizations can be achieved in the context of pole inflation. Most of the $1σ$ area in the ($n_{s}$, $r$) space favored by Planck 2018 can be covered models with $β= 2$ and $β= 5/3$. Future precision data on $n_s$ may help to discriminate between these models even if the precision of the measurement of $r$ is insufficient for the discovery of gravitational waves produced during inflation.

description: We adapt a program used for delineating mouse chromosome territories in fluorescence microscopy images using the automated multi-scale 2D Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima (WTMM) segmentation method to map glacier termini in satellite images. The goal of the project is to develop an unsupervised approach to efficiently quantify glacier terminus changes from satellite images so that we can investigate the spatial and temporal patterns in terminuschange and explore the environmental factors driving them. Here we describe the adapted method, which we have applied to a subset of glaciers spanning Greenland’s periphery for method development and error quantification. Although we focus here on only a small subset of the 641 marine-terminating glaciers around Greenland’s periphery and panchromatic imagery from the Landsat 8 satellite, the unsupervised method will be used to construct terminus position time series for all of Greenland’s peripheral marine-terminating glaciers using the full ~40-year Landsat satellite imagery archive.

description: We consider particlelike solutions to supergravity based on the Kerr-Newman black hole (BH) solution. The BH singularity is regularized by means of a phase transition to a new vacuum state near the core region confining a dual gauge field. Supersymmetric BPS-saturated domain wall model is suggested which can provide this phase transition and formation the stable charged superconducting core. For spinning particle the core takes the form of thin, relativistically rotaiting disk.

description: A new framework is presented for evaluating the performance of self-consistent field methods in Kohn-Sham density functional theory. The aims of this work are two-fold. First, we explore the properties of Kohn-Sham density functional theory as it pertains to the convergence of self-consistent field iterations. Sources of inefficiencies and instabilities are identified, and methods to mitigate these difficulties are discussed. Second, we introduce a framework to assess the relative utility of algorithms in the present context, comprising a representative benchmark suite of over fifty Kohn-Sham simulation inputs, the \textsc{scf}-$x_n$ suite. This provides a new tool to develop, evaluate and compare new algorithms in a fair, well-defined and transparent manner.

description: Background: Internationally, the demand for timely and effective emergency department (ED) health care is increasing. Subsumed within this growing demand are people brought in by police (BIBP). People BIBP are vulnerable, often requiring complex care due to the prevalence and interplay between co-existing physical and psychological morbidities. Yet, there is a paucity of evidence surrounding the delivery of health care to people BIBP to EDs, which limits the design and implementation of targeted interventions that support optimal patient outcomes.

description: Aims. To date, more than 600 multi-planetary systems have been discovered. Due to the limitations of the detection methods, our knowledge of the systems is usually far from complete. In particular, for planetary systems discovered with the radial velocity (RV) technique, the inclinations of the orbital planes, and thus the mutual inclinations and planetary masses, are unknown. Our work aims to constrain the spatial configuration of several RV-detected extrasolar systems that are not in a mean-motion resonance. Methods. Through an analytical study based on a first-order secular Hamiltonian expansion and numerical explorations performed with a chaos detector, we identified ranges of values for the orbital inclinations and the mutual inclinations, which ensure the long-term stability of the system. Our results were validated by comparison with n-body simulations, showing the accuracy of our analytical approach up to high mutual inclinations (approx. 70°-80°). Results. We find that, given the current estimations for the parameters of the selected systems, long-term regular evolution of the spatial configurations is observed, for all the systems, i) at low mutual inclinations (typically less than 35°) and ii) at higher mutual inclinations, preferentially if the system is in a Lidov-Kozai resonance. Indeed, a rapid destabilisation of highly mutually inclined orbits is commonly observed, due to the significant chaos that develops around the stability islands of the Lidov-Kozai resonance. The extent of the Lidov-Kozai resonant region is discussed for ten planetary systems (HD 11506, HD 12661, HD 134987, HD 142, HD 154857, HD 164922, HD 169830, HD 207832, HD 4732, and HD 74156).

description: Electronic properties of the metallic pyrochlore oxide Cd2Re2O7 are studied by means of electrical resistivity and Hall measurements. Semimetallic band structures are revealed as expected from band structure calculations. It is found that large changes in carrier density and mass occur at the structural phase transition at Ts1 = 200 K. A large mass enhancement is observed, particularly for the high-temperature phase with the ideal pyrochlore structure, suggesting that an anomalous correlation has an important effect on the itinerant electrons in the pyrochlore lattice.

description: Current geographic information systems largely represent Western conceptualisations of landscape, and indigenous worldviews are rarely incorporated, resulting in decision making that does not consider all perspectives. The incorporation of New Zealand Maori worldviews in such systems requires a better understanding of the ways that Maori think about land. We use corpus linguistics to address this problem, demonstrating the automated extraction and analysis of content from early newspaper editions in the Maori language using word co-occurrences, which we then explore using an analytical frame developed for New Zealand Maori. We also demonstrate a method for automatically classifying geographic senses of landscape terms in the Maori using machine learning with a bag of words approach with SVM, a particular challenge due to the high degree of polysemy in the language.

description: We present the results of a survey for Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in the fields of ten galaxy cluster lenses at z~0.2, combining high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging with deep K-band imaging from UKIRT. We detect 60 EROs with R-K>=5.3, of which 26 have R-K>=6.0 in a total image plane survey area of 49arcmin^2 down to K=20.6. We use detailed models of the cluster lenses to quantify the lens amplification and thus correct the observed number counts and survey area for the effects of gravitational lensing. After making these corrections, we estimate surface densities at K<=21.6 of 2.5+/-0.4 and 1.2+/-0.3 arcmin^-2 for EROs with R-K>=5.3 and 6.0 respectively. These ERO number counts agree with previous shallower surveys at K1 (K>~19.5). We also compare our results with various model predictions, including a model that attempts to explain EROs in terms of a single population of elliptical galaxies formed at high redshift. We find that a formation epoch of z_f~2.5 for this population matches the observed surface density of R-K>=5.3 EROs quite well, and the R-K>=6.0 sample less well. More sophisticated models, including semi-analytic prescriptions, under-predict the ERO surface density by approximately an order of magnitude, suggesting that these models produce insufficient stars and/or dust at high redshift.

Non-producibility of arbitrary non-Gaussian states using zero-mean Gaussian states and partial photon number resolving detection

description: Gaussian states and measurements collectively are not powerful-enough resources for quantum computing, as any Gaussian dynamics can be simulated efficiently, classically. However, it is known that any one non-Gaussian resource -- either a state, a unitary operation, or a measurement -- together with Gaussian unitaries, makes for universal quantum resources. Photon number resolving (PNR) detection, a readily-realizable non-Gaussian measurement, has been a popular tool to try and engineer non-Gaussian states for universal quantum processing. In this paper, we consider PNR detection of a subset of the modes of a zero-mean pure multi-mode Gaussian state as a means to herald a target non-Gaussian state on the undetected modes. This is motivated from the ease of scalable preparation of Gaussian states that have zero mean, using squeezed vacuum and passive linear optics. We calculate upper bounds on the fidelity between the actual heralded state and the target state. We find that this fidelity upper bound is $1/2$ when the target state is a multi-mode coherent cat-basis cluster state, a resource sufficient for universal quantum computing. This proves that there exist non-Gaussian states that are not producible by this method. Our fidelity upper bound is a simple expression that depends only on the target state represented in the photon-number basis, which could be applied to other non-Gaussian states of interest.
description: Revised version which now considers state engineering based on partial PNR detection, which subsumes subtraction and addition of photons. Said generalization allowed for cleaner and easier mathematical derivations. Appendix was taken from arXiv:2108.08290, co-authored by present authors and collaborators.

description: Pricing assets has attracted significant attention from the financial technology community. We observe that the existing solutions overlook the cross-sectional effects and not fully leveraged the heterogeneous data sets, leading to sub-optimal performance. To this end, we propose an end-to-end deep learning framework to price the assets. Our framework possesses two main properties: 1) We propose Equity2Vec, a graph-based component that effectively captures both long-term and evolving cross-sectional interactions. 2) The framework simultaneously leverages all the available heterogeneous alpha sources including technical indicators, financial news signals, and cross-sectional signals. Experimental results on datasets from the real-world stock market show that our approach outperforms the existing state-of-the-art approaches. Furthermore, market trading simulations demonstrate that our framework monetizes the signals effectively.

description: The state-contingent approach to production uncertainty presents a more general model than the conventional stochastic production approach. Here we investigate whether the state-contingent approach offers a tractable framework for representing climatic uncertainty at a farm level. We developed a discrete stochastic programming (DSP) model of a representative wheat–sheep (mixed) farm in the Central West of NSW. More explicit recognition of climatic states, and associated state-contingent responses, led to optimal farm plans that were more profitable on average and less prone to the effects of variations in climate than comparable farm plans based on the expected value framework. The solutions from the DSP model also appeared to more closely resemble farm land use than the equivalent expected value model using the same data. We conclude that there are benefits of adopting a state-contingent view of uncertainty, giving support to its more widespread application to other problems.
