Late-time Inhomogeneity and the Acceleration of the Universe
Creators: name: Moffat, J. W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The inhomogeneous distribution of matter in the non-linear regime of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and voids is described by an exact, spherically symmetric inhomogeneous solution of Einstein's gravitational field equations, corresponding to an under-dense void. The solution becomes the homogeneous and isotropic Einstein-de Sitter solution for a red shift $z > 10-20$, which describes the matter dominated CMB data with small inhomogeneities. A spatial volume averaging of physical quantities is introduced and the averaged time evolution expansion parameter $θ$ can give rise in the late-time universe to a volume averaged deceleration parameter $$ that is negative for a positive matter density. This allows for a region of accelerated expansion which does not require a cosmological constant. A negative deceleration parameter can be derived by this volume averaging procedure from the Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi open void solution, which describes the late-time non-linear regime associated with galaxies and under-dense voids and solves the ``coincidence'' problem.

description: The line of phase transitions, separating the confinement and the Coulomb phases in the four-dimensional pure compact U(1) gauge theory with extended Wilson action, is reconsidered. We present new numerical evidence that a part of this line, including the original Wilson action, is of second order. By means of a high precision simulation on homogeneous lattices on a sphere we find that along this line the scaling behavior is determined by one fixed point with distinctly non-Gaussian critical exponent nu = 0.365(8). This makes the existence of a nontrivial and nonasymptotically free four-dimensional pure U(1) gauge theory in the continuum very probable. The universality and duality arguments suggest that this conclusion holds also for the monopole loop gas, for the noncompact abelian Higgs model at large negative squared bare mass, and for the corresponding effective string theory.

Symmetry Properties of a Generalized Korteweg-de Vires Equation and some Explicit Solutions
Creators: name: Bracken, Paul
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The symmetry group method is applied to a generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation and several classes of group invarint solution for it are obtained by means of this technique. Polynomial, trigonometric and elliptic function solutions can be calculated. It is shown that this generalized equation can be reduced to a first-order equation under a particular second-order differential constraint which resembles a Schrodinger equation. For a particular instance in which the constraint is satisfied, the generalized equation is reduced to a quadrature. A condition which ensures that the reciprocal of a solution is also a solution is given, and a first integral to this constraint is found.

description: Fluidic Data is a floor-to-ceiling installation spanning the four levels of the CERN Data Centre stairwell. It utilizes the interplay of water and light to visualize the magnitude and flow of information coming from the four major LHC experiments. The installation consists of an array of transparent hoses that house colored fluid, symbolizing the data of each experiment, surrounded by a collection of diffractive "pods" representing the particles pivotal to each experiment. The organic fusion of art and science engenders a meditative environment, allowing the visitor time for reflection and curiosity. The Fluidic Data installation is a cross department collaboration that incorporates materials and techniques used in the construction of the LHC and its experiments. The project brings together artists, engineers, science communicators and physicists with a common goal of communicating CERN's research and resources. The success of this collaboration exemplifies the effectiveness of working in diverse teams, both intellectually and culturally, to accomplish unique projects.

description: In this paper we present cosmological constraints on several well-known $f(R)$ models, but also on a new class of models that are variants of the Hu-Sawicki one of the form $f(R)=R-\frac{2Λ}{1+b\;y(R,Λ)}$, that interpolate between the cosmological constant model and a matter dominated universe for different values of the parameter $b$, which is usually expected to be small for viable models and which in practice measures the deviation from General Relativity. We use the latest growth rate, Cosmic Microwave Background, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, Supernovae type Ia and Hubble parameter data to place stringent constraints on the models and to compare them to the cosmological constant model but also other viable $f(R)$ models such as the Starobinsky or the degenerate hypergeometric models. We find that these kinds of Hu-Sawicki variant parameterizations are in general compatible with the currently available data and can provide useful toy models to explore the available functional space of $f(R)$ models, something very useful with the current and upcoming surveys that will test deviations from General Relativity.

description: In a HEP Computing Center, at least 1 batch systems are used. As an example, at IHEP, we've used 3 batch systems, PBS, HTCondor and Slurm. After running PBS as local batch system for 10 years, we replaced it by HTCondor (for HTC) and Slurm (for HPC). During that period, problems came up on both user and admin sides. On user side, the new batch systems bring a set of new commands, which users have to learn and remember more. In particular, some users would have to use HTCondor and Slurm in the meantime. Furthermore, HTCondor and Slurm provide more functions, which means more complicated usage mode, compared to the simple PBS commands. On admin side, HTCondor gives more freedom to users, which becomes a problem to admins. Admins have to find the solutions for many problems: preventing users from requesting the resources they are not allowed to use, checking if the required attributes are correct, deciding which site is requested (Slurm cluster, remote sites, virtual machine sites), etc. For the above requirements, HepJob was developed. HepJob provides a set of simple commands to users, hep_sub, hep_q, hep_rm, etc. In the submission procedure, HepJob checks all the attributes and ensure all attributes are correct; Assigns the proper resources to users, the user and group info is obtained from the management database; Routes jobs to the targeted site; Goes through the remaining steps. Users can start with HepJob very easily and admins can take many prevention actions in HepJob.
MeerKAT view of the largest particle accelerators of our Universe
Creators: name: Rajpurohit, Kamlesh
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Galaxy clusters undergoing major mergers host spectacular megaparsec-scale diffuse radio sources called radio relics and radio halos. They are believed to originate from cosmic-ray electrons which are (re-)accelerated by merger-driven shocks and turbulence in the intracluster medium (ICM). However, we do not yet have a clear understanding of the particle acceleration processes responsible for their origin and the microphysics involved in the interplay between different components of the ICM. The advent of cutting-edge radio telescopes like MeerKAT and SKA precursors is revolutionizing our understanding of the Universe. They permit wideband spectro-polarimetric observations with unprecedented sensitivity and remarkable spatial resolution, thus allowing to investigate finest details. We present results obtained with high-resolution MeerKAT UHF and L-band observations of four highly disturbed clusters, revealing complex radio morphology, intriguing filaments, diffuse emission on a very large scale ($>$ 3 Mpc), a multicomponent halo, and puzzling relations between radio and X-ray quantities. Our findings provide crucial insights into the underlying particle acceleration mechanisms, the complex interplay between thermal and non-thermal plasma, and the magnetization of the ICM.

Fano interference for tailoring near-field radiative heat transfer

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We show the existence of Fano resonances in the context of near-field radiative heat transfer, which enable the strong suppression and enhancement of the spectral heat flux at specific wavelengths. This is demonstrated by making use of the plasmon-phonon coupling in a symmetric nano cavity composed by a polaritonic material coated with a metallic layer, in which each side of the cavity is kept at different temperatures. The strong hybridization of the plasmonic and phononic modes sustained by the multilayer structure is determined by the matching of their polarization. This leads to the opening of a thermal band gap, where heat transfer in the coupled system is inhibited for all wave vectors and for wavelengths at which the individual constituents are thermally transmissive.

description: Noncommutativity is an idea dating back to the early times of Quantum Mechanics and that string theory induced noncommutative (NC) geometry which provides an effective framework to study short distance spacetime dynamics. Also, string theory, a candidate for a consistent quantum theory of gravity, admits a variety of classical black hole solutions including black strings. In this paper, we study a NC geometry inspired rotating black string to cylindrical spacetime with a source given by a Gaussian distribution of mass. The resulting metric is a regular, i.e. curvature-singularity free, rotating black string, that in large $r$ limit interpolates Lemos \cite{lemos96} black string. Thermodynamical properties of the black strings are also investigated and exact expressions for the temperature, the entropy and the heat capacity are obtained. Owing to the NC correction in the solution, the thermodynamic quantities have been also modified and that the NC geometry inspired black string is always thermodynamically stable.

Resonant Tidal Excitation of Oscillation Modes in Merging Binary Neutron Stars: Inertial-Gravity Modes

description: In coalescing neutron star (NS) binaries, tidal force can resonantly excite low-frequency (< 500 Hz) oscillation modes in the NS, transferring energy between the orbit and the NS. This resonant tide can induce phase shift in the gravitational waveforms, and potentially provide a new window of studying NS interior using gravitational waves. Previous works have considered tidal excitations of pure g-modes (due to stable stratification of the star) and pure inertial modes (due to Coriolis force), with the rotational effect treated in an approximate manner. However, for realistic NSs, the buoyancy and rotational effects can be comparable, giving rise to mixed inertial-gravity modes. We develop a non-perturbative numerical spectral code to compute the frequencies and tidal coupling coefficients of these modes. We then calculate the phase shift in the gravitational waveform due to each resonance during binary inspiral. We adopt polytropic NS models with a parameterized stratification. We derive relevant scaling relations and survey how the phase shift depends on various properties of the NS. We find that for canonical NSs (with mass M = 1.4M_sun and radius R = 10 km) and modest rotation rates (< 300 Hz), the gravitational wave phase shift due to a resonance is generally less than 0.01 radian. But the phase shift is a strong function of R and M, and can reach a radian or more for low-mass NSs with larger radii (R > 15 km). Significant phase shift can also be produced when the combination of stratification and rotation gives rise to a very low frequency (< 20 Hz in the inertial frame) modified g-mode. We also find that some inertial modes can be strongly affected by stratification, and that the m = 1 r-mode, previously identified to have a small but finite inertial-frame frequency based on the Cowling approximation, in fact has essentially zero frequency, and therefore cannot be excited.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Data movement between sites, replication and storage are very expensive operations, in terms of time and resources, for the LHC collaborations, and are expected to be even more so in the future. In this work we derived usage patterns based on traces and logs from the data and workflow management systems of CMS and ATLAS, and simulated the impact of different caching and data lifecycle management approaches. Data corresponding to one year of operation and covering all Grid sites have been the basis for the analysis. For selected sites, this data has been augmented by access logs from the local storage system to also include data accesses not managed via the standard experiments workflow management systems. We present the results of the studies, the tools developed and the experiences with the data analysis frameworks used, and assess the validity of both current and alternative approaches to data management from a cost perspective.

description: We examine a possible supergroup in the direction of the Eridanus constellation using 6dF Galaxy Survey second data release (6dFGS DR2) positions and velocities together with 2MASS and HyperLEDA photometry. We perform a friends-of-friends analysis to determine which galaxies are associated with each substructure before examining the properties of the constituent galaxies. The structure is made up of three individual groups that are likely to merge to form a cluster of mass 7x10^13 Msolar. We conclude that this structure is a supergroup. We also examine the colours, morphologies and luminosities of the galaxies in the region with respect to their local projected surface density. We find that the colours of the galaxies redden with increasing density, the median luminosities are brighter with increasing environmental density and the morphologies of the galaxies show a strong morphology-density relation. The colours and luminosities of the galaxies in the supergroup are already similar to those of galaxies in clusters, however the supergroup contains more late-type galaxies, consistent with its lower projected surface density. Due to the velocity dispersion of the groups in the supergroup, which are lower than those of clusters, we conclude that the properties of the constituent galaxies are likely to be a result of merging or strangulation processes in groups outlying this structure.

description: High-dimensional data requires scalable algorithms. We propose and analyze three scalable and related algorithms for semi-supervised discriminant analysis (SDA). These methods are based on Krylov subspace methods which exploit the data sparsity and the shift-invariance of Krylov subspaces. In addition, the problem definition was improved by adding centralization to the semi-supervised setting. The proposed methods are evaluated on a industry-scale data set from a pharmaceutical company to predict compound activity on target proteins. The results show that SDA achieves good predictive performance and our methods only require a few seconds, significantly improving computation time on previous state of the art.

description: The first round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 1) provided payments to agricultural producers adversely affected by marketing losses caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Since the only producers eligible to receive a CFAP 1 payment were those who held unpriced inventory, ERS researchers examined the level of unpriced inventory held post-harvest 2019. Administrative USDA, Farm Service Agency (FSA) data on CFAP 1 applications and payments, and farm-level data on unpriced inventory were drawn from the 2019 Phase 3 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) to understand unpriced inventory held and CFAP 1 payments distributed to agricultural producers. For the majority of producers, significant levels of inventory existed post-harvest 2019. Since payments were made on the lower of 50 percent of production or the level of unpriced inventory, the majority of payments were made on production levels, from 58 percent of upland cotton payments to 81 percent of spring wheat payments. ERS researchers also analyzed the degree to which commodity-specific CFAP 1 rates reflected changes in county-average cash prices between January and April 2020 for corn, soybeans, and spring wheat. The share of counties in which the CFAP 1 rate exceeded 52.5 percent of the decline in cash prices ranged between 49.0 percent for corn and 99.9 percent for spring wheat.
description: Monthly data from USDA’s FSA were used to categorize CFAP 1 applications and payments as either production-limited (made on 50 percent of 2019’s production level) or inventory (made on unpriced inventory level) applications and payments. Data drawn from the 2019 Phase 3 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) was used to examine the distribution of unpriced inventory by commodity type and farm size typology, as well as to examine the amount of unpriced inventory that was used as collateral for (commercial and governmental) loans. Cash price data from GeoGrain’s database and futures price data from Stevens Reference Futures were analyzed to show the changes in cash prices and basis between January and April 2020.

A Message for Peace or a Tool for Oppression? Israeli Jewish-Arab duo Achinoam Nini and Mira Awad's Representation of Israel at Eurovision 2009

description: Israel's contenders for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest (known as the ESC or, as here, Eurovision) were the Israeli Jewish-Arab duo Achinoam Nini and Mira Awad. The chosen song was "There Must Be Another Way," a tri -lingual appeal for peace and reconciliation sung in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. The decision to nominate Nini and Awad as Israel's representatives
to Eurovision was announced in early January, in the midst of a full-scale war Israel launched on Gaza and its inhabitants, which came in response to several years of rockets fired into Israel from the Hamas-led territory. Given the timing and the high profile of the ESC, an annual competition
held among active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the duo's collaboration generated much public debate in Israel and beyond. The debate highlighted the symbolic charge of the song and its performers, and it continued throughout the year, animated by the political situation, the duo's activities, and the media that closely followed the process
leading to the May 2009 contest and its aftermath. This article will analyze the meanings given to the artistic collaboration of the two performers that were circulating in the public sphere to show how, in this war-torn region, cultural and political domains are intertwined such that wars are fought not
only with guns and rockets but also within cultural spheres, and that both domains are constitutive of highly contested social constructions of ethnic and national affiliations.

description: We report a direct observation of temperature-induced topological phase transition between trivial and topological insulator in HgTe quantum well. By using a gated Hall bar device, we measure and represent Landau levels in fan charts at different temperatures and we follow the temperature evolution of a peculiar pair of "zero-mode" Landau levels, which split from the edge of electron-like and hole-like subbands. Their crossing at critical magnetic field $B_c$ is a characteristic of inverted band structure in the quantum well. By measuring the temperature dependence of $B_c$, we directly extract the critical temperature $T_c$, at which the bulk band-gap vanishes and the topological phase transition occurs. Above this critical temperature, the opening of a trivial gap is clearly observed.

description: Traditional papyrology has optimized its ecdotic methods to study papyrological documents (diplomatic edition) and, simultaneously, the corresponding texts (critical edition). Prominent initiatives, such as Papyri.info, are striving to find an optimal trade-off between familiarity for traditional scholars and machine actionability for automatic processing. 

The approach proposed throughout this paper is based on the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and, particularly, on the DSL-based Digital Scholarly Editions (DSEs). The work aims to create a comprehensive textual scholarship workflow implemented in a modular web environment named CoPhi Editor. The ERC GreekSchools project serves as the scientific testbench for co-design our editing environment with a multidisciplinary team of papyrologists, philologists, linguists, and other humanists.

description: Access libraries such as ROOT and HDF5 allow users to interact with datasets using high level abstractions, like coordinate systems and associated slicing operations. Unfortunately, the implementations of access libraries are based on outdated assumptions about storage systems interfaces and are generally unable to fully benefit from modern fast storage devices. For example, access libraries often implement buffering and data layout that assume that large, single-threaded sequential access patterns are causing less overall latency than small parallel random access: while this is true for spinning media, it is not true for flash media. The situation is getting worse with rapidly evolving storage devices such as non-volatile memory and ever larger datasets. Our Skyhook Dataset Mapping project explores distributed dataset mapping infrastructures that can integrate and scale out existing access libraries using Ceph's extensible object model, avoiding reimplementation or even modifications of these access libraries as much as possible. These programmable storage extensions coupled with our distributed dataset mapping techniques enable: 1) access library operations to be offloaded to storage system servers, 2) the independent evolution of access libraries and storage systems and 3) fully leveraging of the existing load balancing, elasticity, and failure management of distributed storage systems like Ceph. They also create more opportunities to conduct storage server-local optimizations specific to storage servers. For example, storage servers might include local key/value stores combined with chunk stores that require different optimizations than a local file system. As storage servers evolve to support new storage devices like non-volatile memory, these server-local optimizations can be implemented while minimizing disruptions to applications. We will report progress on the means by which distributed dataset mapping can be abstracted over particular access libraries, including access libraries for ROOT data, and how we address some of the challenges revolving around data partitioning and composability of access operations.

Music Smashed to Pieces: The Destructive Logic of Berlioz's Romeo au tombeau
Creators: Rodgers, Stephen
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Music

description: Berlioz's Romeo au tombeau des Capulets, the sixth movement of his symphony Romeo et Juliette, is arguably his most controversial programmatic work and one of the most baffling pieces of program music in the repertoire. When the symphony premiered in 1839, Berlioz's instrumental setting of the tomb scene from Shakespeare's play (with David Garrick's ending, in which Juliet wakes before Romeo dies) was criticized for being incoherent because it had no conventional formal scheme, used avant-garde musical language, and boasted drastic shifts in style and mood. It was also criticized for being too literal because of its blatant musical depictions of dramatic
acts, including Romeo's drink from the vial of poison and Juliet's suicidal stab. Jules Maurel called the piece a "mistake" and argued that one would need "a stage, scenery, tombs, theatrical half-light, and people speaking and acting" to understand it (Maurel 1839).Modern listeners have been kinder than Berlioz's contemporaries. Scholars today tend to agree that Romeo au tombeau is not a "mistake" but a meaningful, if difficult, work that deserves to be taken seriously, but there is no consensus about how to make sense of it.

description: The quantum Zeno effect consists in the hindrance of the evolution of a quantum system that is very frequently monitored and found to be in its initial state at every single measurement. On the basis of the correct formula for the survival probability, i.e. the probability of finding the system in its initial state at every single measurement, we critically analyze a recent proposal and experimental test, that make use of an oscillating system.

description: The z=0.89 molecular absorber toward PKS1830-211 provides us with the opportunity to probe the chemical and physical properties of the interstellar medium in the disk of a galaxy at a look-back time of half the present age of the Universe. Recent ALMA observations of hydrides have unveiled the multi-phase composition of this source's interstellar medium along two absorbing sightlines. Here, we report ALMA observations of CH+ and SH+, and of their 13C- and 34S- isotopologues, as potential tracers of energetic processes in the interstellar medium. CH+ and 13CH+ are detected toward both images of PKS1830-211, CH+ showing the deepest and broadest absorption among all species observed so far. The [CH+]/[13CH+] abundance ratio is ~100 in the south-west line of sight. [...] Toward the north-east image, we find an even larger value of [CH+]/[13CH+], 146 +/- 43, although with a large uncertainty. This sightline intercepts the absorber at a larger galactocentric radius than the southwestern one, where material might be less processed in stellar nucleosynthesis. In contrast to CH+ and its 13C isotopologue, SH+ and 34SH+ are only detected on the south-west sightline. These are the first detections of extragalactic SH+ and interstellar 34SH+. The spectroscopic parameters of SH+ are reevaluated and improved rest frequencies of 34SH+ are obtained. The [CH+]/[SH+] column density ratios show a large difference between the two lines of sight: ~25 and >600 toward the SW and NE image, respectively. We are not able to shed light on the formation process of CH+ and SH+ with these data, but the differences in the two sightlines toward PKS1830-211 suggest that their absorptions arise from gas with molecular fraction gtrsim 10%, with SH+ tracing significantly higher molecular fractions than CH+.

description: Color centers in solid state crystals have become a frequently used system for single photon generation, advancing the development of integrated photonic devices for quantum optics and quantum communication applications. In particular, defects hosted by two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are a promising candidate for next-generation single photon sources, due to its chemical and thermal robustness and high brightness at room temperature. The 2D crystal lattice of hBN allows for a high extraction efficiency and easy integration into photonic circuits. Here we develop plasma etching techniques with subsequent high temperature annealing to reliably create defects. We show how different fabrication parameters influence the defect formation probability and the emitter brightness. A full optical characterization reveals the higher quality of the created quantum emitters, represented by a narrow spectrum, short excited state lifetime and high single photon purity. We also investigated the photostability on short and very long timescales. We utilize a wet chemically-assisted transfer process to reliably transfer the single photon sources onto arbitrary substrates, demonstrating the feasibility for the integration into scalable photonic quantum information processing networks.

description: The ALICE Experiment at CERN LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is undertaking a major upgrade during LHC Long Shutdown 2 in 2019-2020, which includes a new computing system called O² (Online-Offline). The raw data input from the ALICE detectors will then increase a hundredfold, up to 3.4 TB/s. In order to cope with such a large amount of data, a new online-offline computing system, called O2, will be deployed. One of the key software components of the O2 system will be the data Quality Control (QC) that replaces the existing online Data Quality Monitoring and offline Quality Assurance. It involves the gathering, the analysis by user-defined algorithms and the visualization of monitored data, in both the synchronous and asynchronous parts of the O2 system. This paper presents the architecture and design, as well as the latest and upcoming features, of the ALICE O2 QC. In particular, we review the challenges we faced developing and scaling the object merging software, the trending and correlation infrastructure and the repository management. We also discuss the ongoing adoption of this tool amongst the ALICE collaboration and the measures taken to develop, in synergy with their respective teams, efficient monitoring modules for the detectors.

Thermally induced charge current through long molecules

description: In this work we theoretically study steady state thermoelectric transport through a single-molecule junction with a long chain-like bridge. Electron transmission through the system is computed using a tight-binding model for the bridge. We analyze dependences of thermocurrent on the bridge length in unbiased and biased systems operating within and beyond linear response regime. It is shown that length-dependent thermocurrent is controlled by the lineshape of electron transmission in the interval corresponding to HOMO/LUMO transport channel. Also, it is demonstrated that electron interactions with molecular vibrations may significantly affect length-dependent thermocurrent.
