description: We extend the contents of the standard model (SM) by introducing TeV-scale scalar leptoquarks to generate neutrino masses and explain some current observed deviations from the SM predictions, including the anomalous magnetic moments of charged leptons (electron and muon) and $B$-physics anomalies ($R_{K^{(*)}}$ and $R_{D^{(*)}}$). The model consists of $\text{SU}(2)_L$ singlet leptoquark $S_1\sim (\bar{3}, 1, 1/3)$, doublet leptoquark $\tilde{R}_2\sim (3, 2, 1/6)$ and triplet leptoquark $S_3\sim (\bar{3}, 3, 1/3)$. We combine the constraints arising from the low-energy lepton flavor violation, meson decay and mixing observables. We perform a detailed phenomenological analysis and identify the minimized texture of leptoquark Yukawa matrices to accommodate a unified explanation of the anomalies and neutrino oscillation data.

description: We derive a variety of exact black hole solutions in a subclass of Horndeski's scalar-tensor theory possessing shift symmetry, $ϕ\toϕ+c$, and reflection symmetry, $ϕ\to-ϕ$. The theory admits two arbitrary functions of $X:=-(\partialϕ)^2/2$, and our solutions are constructed without specifying the concrete form of the two functions, implying that black hole solutions in specific scalar-tensor theories found in the literature can be extended to a more general class of theories with shift symmetry. Our solutions include a black hole in the presence of an effective cosmological constant, the Nariai spacetime, the Lifshitz black hole, and other nontrivial solutions, all of which exhibit nonconstant scalar-field profile.

description: Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) promises improved spectral efficiency, coverage, and range, compared to conventional (small-scale) MIMO wireless systems. Unfortunately, these benefits come at the cost of significantly increased computational complexity, especially for systems with realistic antenna configurations. To reduce the complexity of data detection (in the uplink) and precoding (in the downlink) in massive MIMO systems, we propose to use conjugate gradient (CG) methods. While precoding using CG is rather straightforward, soft-output minimum mean-square error (MMSE) detection requires the computation of the post-equalization signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR). To enable CG for soft-output detection, we propose a novel way of computing the SINR directly within the CG algorithm at low complexity. We investigate the performance/complexity trade-offs associated with CG-based soft-output detection and precoding, and we compare it to exact and approximate methods. Our results reveal that the proposed method outperforms existing algorithms for massive MIMO systems with realistic antenna configurations.

description: Coherent interactions between quantum emitters in tailored photonic structures is a fundamental building block for future quantum technologies, but remains challenging to observe in complex solid-state environments, where the role of decoherence must be considered. Here, we investigate the optical interaction between two quantum emitters mediated by one-dimensional waveguides in a realistic solid-state environment, focusing on the creation, population and detection of a sub-radiant state, in the presence of dephasing. We show that as dephasing increases, the signatures of sub-radiance quickly vanish in intensity measurements yet remain pronounced in photon correlation measurements, particularly when the two emitters are pumped separately so as to populate the sub-radiant state efficiently. The applied Green's tensor approach is used to model a photonic crystal waveguide, including the dependence on the spatial position of the integrated emitter. The work lays out a route to the experimental realization of sub-radiant states in nanophotonic waveguides containing solid-state emitters.

description: Learning from audio-visual data offers many possibilities to express correspondence between the audio and visual content, similar to the human perception that relates aural and visual information. In this work, we present a method for self-supervised representation learning based on audio-visual spatial alignment (AVSA), a more sophisticated alignment task than the audio-visual correspondence (AVC). In addition to the correspondence, AVSA also learns from the spatial location of acoustic and visual content. Based on 360$^\text{o}$ video and Ambisonics audio, we propose selection of visual objects using object detection, and beamforming of the audio signal towards the detected objects, attempting to learn the spatial alignment between objects and the sound they produce. We investigate the use of spatial audio features to represent the audio input, and different audio formats: Ambisonics, mono, and stereo. Experimental results show a 10 $\%$ improvement on AVSA for the first order ambisonics intensity vector (FOA-IV) in comparison with log-mel spectrogram features; the addition of object-oriented crops also brings significant performance increases for the human action recognition downstream task. A number of audio-only downstream tasks are devised for testing the effectiveness of the learnt audio feature representation, obtaining performance comparable to state-of-the-art methods on acoustic scene classification from ambisonic and binaural audio.

description: We investigate different quantum parameter estimation scenarios in the presence of noise, and identify optimal probe states. For frequency estimation of local Hamiltonians with dephasing noise, we determine optimal probe states for up to 70 qubits, and determine their key properties. We find that the so-called one-axis twisted spin-squeezed states are only almost optimal, and that optimal states need not to be spin-squeezed. For different kinds of noise models, we investigate whether optimal states in the noiseless case remain superior to product states also in the presence of noise. For certain spatially and temporally correlated noise, we find that product states no longer allow one to reach the standard quantum limit in precision, while certain entangled states do. Our conclusions are based on numerical evidence using efficient numerical algorithms which we developed in order to treat permutational invariant systems.

Water emission tracing active star formation from the Milky Way to high-$z$ galaxies

description: (Abridged) The question of how most stars in the Universe form remains open. While star formation predominantly occurs in young massive clusters, the current framework focuses on isolated star formation. One way to access the bulk of protostellar activity within star-forming clusters is to trace signposts of active star formation with emission from molecular outflows. These outflows are bright in water emission, providing a direct observational link between nearby and distant galaxies. We propose to utilize the knowledge of local star formation as seen with molecular tracers to explore the nature of star formation in the Universe. We present a large-scale statistical galactic model of emission from galactic active star-forming regions. Our model is built on observations of well-resolved nearby clusters. By simulating emission from molecular outflows, which is known to scale with mass, we create a proxy that can be used to predict the emission from clustered star formation at galactic scales. We evaluated the impact of the most important global-star formation parameters (i.e., initial stellar mass function (IMF), molecular cloud mass distribution, star formation efficiency (SFE), and free-fall time efficiency) on simulation results. We observe that for emission from the para-H2O 202 - 111 line, the IMF and molecular cloud mass distribution have a negligible impact on the emission, both locally and globally, whereas the opposite holds for the SFE and free-fall time efficiency. Moreover, this water transition proves to be a low-contrast tracer of star formation. The fine-tuning of the model and adaptation to morphologies of distant galaxies should result in realistic predictions of observed molecular emission and make the galaxy-in-a-box model a tool to analyze and better understand star formation throughout cosmological times.

description: We investigate the mathematical properties of the class of Calabi-Yau four-folds recently found in [arXiv:1303.1832]. This class consists of 921,497 configuration matrices which correspond to manifolds that are described as complete intersections in products of projective spaces. For each manifold in the list, we compute the full Hodge diamond as well as additional topological invariants such as Chern classes and intersection numbers. Using this data, we conclude that there are at least 36,779 topologically distinct manifolds in our list. We also study the fibration structure of these manifolds and find that 99.95 percent can be described as elliptic fibrations. In total, we find 50,114,908 elliptic fibrations, demonstrating the multitude of ways in which many manifolds are fibered. A sub-class of 26,088,498 fibrations satisfy necessary conditions for admitting sections.

description: Important illustration to the principle ``partition functions in string theory are $τ$-functions of integrable equations'' is the fact that the (dual) partition functions of $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories solve Painlevé equations. In this paper we show a road to self-consistent proof of the recently suggested generalization of this correspondence: partition functions of topological string on local Calabi-Yau manifolds solve $q$-difference equations of non-autonomous dynamics of the ``cluster-algebraic'' integrable systems. We explain in details the ``solutions'' side of the proposal. In the simplest non-trivial example we show how $3d$ box-counting of topological string partition function appears from the counting of dimers on bipartite graph with the discrete gauge field of ``flux'' $q$. This is a new form of topological string/spectral theory type correspondence, since the partition function of dimers can be computed as determinant of the linear $q$-difference Kasteleyn operator. Using WKB method in the ``melting'' $q\to 1$ limit we get a closed integral formula for Seiberg-Witten prepotential of the corresponding $5d$ gauge theory. The ``equations'' side of the correspondence remains the intriguing topic for the further studies.

description: The Secaucus Junction Area Vision Plan Transit Village Study, a collaborative effort between New Jersey Transit, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission and the Town of Secaucus, was commissioned to develop a vision and plan for the future land use in and around NJ Transit's recently opened Secaucus Junction Station. The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission received many inquiries from interested parties regarding the potential development of properties around the station. Rather than entertaining individual applications, the NJMC believed that it would be prudent to create a plan for the area in the vicinity of the new station so that the land uses would have a synergistic effect not only with the station, but also with current infrastructure and with other uses in the Town of Secaucus. This fact sheet addresses frequently asked questions (FAQ) and highlights some of the key components of the study.

description: The non-integrable Dicke model and its integrable approximation, the Tavis-Cummings (TC) model, are studied as functions of both the coupling constant and the excitation energy. The present contribution extends the analysis presented in the previous paper by focusing on the statistical properties of the quantum fluctuations in the energy spectrum and their relation with the excited state quantum phase transitions (ESQPT). These properties are compared with the dynamics observed in the semi-classical versions of the models. The presence of chaos for different energies and coupling constants is exhibited, employing Poincaré sections and Peres lattices in the classical and quantum versions, respectively. A clear correspondence between the classical and quantum result is found for systems containing between $\mathcal{N} = 80$ to $200$ atoms. A measure of the Wigner character of the energy spectrum for different couplings and energy intervals is also presented employing the statistical Anderson-Darling test. It is found that in the Dicke Model, for any coupling, a low energy regime with regular states is always present. The richness of the onset of chaos is discussed both for finite quantum systems and for the semi-classical limit, which is exact when the number of atoms in the system tends to infinite.

description: Recent observational claims of magnetic fields stronger than $10^{-16}$ G in the extragalactic medium motivate a new look for their origin in the inflationary magnetogenesis models. In this work we shall review the constraints on the simplest gauge invariant model $f^2(ϕ)F_{μν}F^{μν}$ of inflationary magnetogenesis, and show that in the optimal region of parameter space the anisotropic constraints coming from the induced bispectrum, due to the generated electromagnetic fields, yield the strongest constraints. In this model, only a very fine tuned scenario at an energy scale of inflation as low as $10^{-2}$ GeV can explain the observations of void magnetic fields. These findings are consistent with the recently derived model independent constraints. However, if the detection of primordial tensor modes by BICEP2 is confirmed, the possibility of low scale inflation is excluded. Assuming the validity of the BICEP2 claim of a tensor-to-scalar ratio $r=0.2^{+0.07}_{-0.05}$, we provide the updated constraints on inflationary magnetogenesis. On the Mpc scale, the maximal allowed magnetic field strength from inflation is less than $10^{-30}$ G.

description: We demonstrate a large-area passivation layer for graphene by mechanical transfer of ultrathin amorphous Ga$_2$O$_3$ synthesized on liquid Ga metal. A comparison of temperature-dependent electrical measurements of millimetre-scale passivated and bare graphene on SiO$_2$/Si indicate that the passivated graphene maintains its high field effect mobility desirable for applications. Surprisingly, the temperature-dependent resistivity is reduced in passivated graphene over a range of temperatures below 220 K, due to the interplay of screening of the surface optical phonon modes of the SiO$_2$ by high-dielectric-constant Ga$_2$O$_3$, and the relatively high characteristic phonon frequencies of Ga$_2$O$_3$. Raman spectroscopy and electrical measurements indicate that Ga$_2$O$_3$ passivation also protects graphene from further processing such as plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition of Al$_2$O$_3$.

description: The separation of the connected and disconnected sea partons, which were uncovered in the Euclidean path-integral formulation of the hadronic tensor, is accommodated with an alternative parametrization of the non-perturbative parton distribution functions in the CT18 global analysis. This is achieved with the help of the distinct small $x$ behaviours of these two sea partons and the constraint from the lattice calculation of the ratio of the strange momentum fraction to that of the $\bar u$ or $\bar d$ in the disconnected insertion. The whole dataset of CT18 is used in this CT18CS fit. The impact of the recent SeaQuest data on the $\bar{d}(x)-\bar{u}(x)$ distribution of CT18CS is also discussed. The separate momentum fractions for the valence, the connected sea and disconnected sea of $u$ and $d$, the strange and the gluon partons are presented at $μ=1.3$ GeV for the first time. They can be compared term-by-term with systematic error controlled lattice calculations.

description: In supersymmetric theories without R-parity, the gravitino can play the role of a decaying Dark Matter candidate without the problem of late NLSP decays affecting Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. In this work, we elaborate on recently discussed limits on R-parity violating couplings from decays to antideuterons and discuss the implications for two classes of flavor symmetries: horizontal symmetries, and Minimal Flavor Violation. In most of the parameter space the antideuteron constraints on R-parity violating couplings are stronger than low-energy baryon-number-violating processes. Even in the absence of flavor symmetries, we find strong new limits on couplings involving third-generation fields, and discuss the implications for LHC phenomenology. For TeV scale superpartners, we find that the allowed MFV parameter space is a corner with gravitino masses smaller than O(10) GeV and small $\tanβ$.

Shadowing in multiparton proton - deuteron collisions

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the screening effect for the multiparton interactions (MPI) for proton--deuteron collisions in the kinematics where one parton belonging to the deuteron has small $x_1$ so the leading twist shadowing is present while the second parton ($x_2$) is involved in the interaction %%ms in the kinematics where shadowing effects are small. We find that the ratio of the shadowing and the impulse approximation terms is approximately factor of two larger for MPI than for the single parton distributions. We also calculate the double parton antishadowing (DPA) contribution to the cross section due to the independent interactions of the partons ofthe projectile proton with two nucleons of the deuteron and find that shadowing leads to a strong reduction ofthe DPA effect.For example, for the resolution scale $Q_1^2 \sim 4$~$\mbox{GeV}^2$ of the interaction with parton $x_1$ we find that shadowing reduces the DPA effect by $\sim$ 30%. It is argued that in the discussed kinematics the contribution of interference diagrams, which correspond to the interchange ofpartonsbetween the proton and neutron, constitutes only a small correction to the shadowing contributions.

description: Notable non-Fermi liquid and quantum critical behaviors are observed in rare-earth metallic systems with non-Kramers local moments supporting a number of different multipolar moments. A prominent example is $\text{Pr(Ti,V)}_{2}\text{Al}_{20}$, where the non-Kramers doublet of the $\text{Pr}^{3+}$ ion allows quadrupolar and octupolar moments, but lacks a dipolar moment. Previous theoretical studies show that a single impurity Kondo problem with such an unusual local moment leads to novel non-Fermi liquid states. In this work, we investigate possible quantum critical behaviors arising from the competition between non-Fermi liquid states and multipolar-ordered phases induced by the RKKY interaction. We consider a local version of the corresponding Kondo lattice model, namely the Bose-Fermi Kondo model. Here, the multipolar local moments are coupled to fermionic and bosonic bath degrees of freedom representing the multipolar Kondo effect and RKKY interactions. Using a perturbative renormalization group (RG) study up to two loop order, we find critical points between non-Fermi liquid Kondo fixed points and a quadrupolar ordered fixed point. The critical points describe quantum critical behaviors at the corresponding phase transitions and can be distinguished by higher order corrections in the octupolar susceptibility that can be measured by ultrasound experiments. Our results imply the existence of a rich expansion of the phases and quantum critical behaviors in multipolar heavy fermion systems.

description: Household Hazardous Waste ("HHW") is any material thrown away by a household that poses a risk to human health or the environment. The proper disposal of HHW can help to reduce the impact of stormwater runoff pollution. This occurs when rainwater washes pollutants, such as motor oil, fertilizers, animal waste, and litter, off of the land and into our waterways. HHW can become a part of this nonpoint source pollution if disposed of improperly. To discourage residents from disposing of HHW in their garbage and to prevent pollution, municipalities across the Delaware Estuary have set up HHW collection programs. This fact sheet contains examples of household hazardous waste materials and information on HHW disposal programs in the region.

description: We report an age revision for the low-mass detached eclipsing binary CM Draconis and its common proper motion companion, WD 1633+572. An age of 8.5 $\pm$ 3.5 Gyr is found by combining an age estimate for the lifetime of WD 1633+572 and an estimate from galactic space motions. The revised age is greater than a factor of two older than previous estimates. Our results provide consistency between the white dwarf age and the system's galactic kinematics, which reveal the system is a highly probable member of the galactic thick disk. We find the probability that CM Draconis and WD 1633+572 are members of the thick disk is 8500 times greater than the probability that they are members of the thin disk and 170 times greater than the probability they are halo interlopers. If CM Draconis is a member of the thick disk, it is likely enriched in $α$-elements compared to iron by at least 0.2 dex relative to the Sun. This leads to the possibility that previous studies under-estimate the [Fe/H] value, suggesting the system has a near-solar [Fe/H]. Implications for the long-standing discrepancies between the radii of CM Draconis and predictions from stellar evolution theory are discussed. We conclude that CM Draconis is only inflated by about 2% compared to stellar evolution predictions.

It is expected that a sizeable fraction of them contain a white dwarf (WD), either isolated, or in a binary system with a main-sequence (MS) companion, i.e. a white dwarf-main sequence (WDMS) binary. Taking advantage of a consolidated Random Forest algorithm used in the classification of WDs, we extend it to study the feasibility of classifying Gaia WDMS binary spectra. The Random Forest algorithm is first trained with a set of synthetic spectra generated by combining individual WD and MS spectra for the full range of effective temperatures and surface gravities. Moreover, with the aid of a detailed population synthesis code, we simulate the Gaia spectra for the above mentioned populations. For evaluating the performance of the models, a set of metrics are applied to our classifications. Our results show that for resolving powers above ~300 the accuracy of the classification depends exclusively on the SNR of the spectra, while below that value the SNR should be increased as the resolving power is reduced to maintain a certain accuracy. The algorithm is then applied to the already classified SDSS WDMS catalogue, revealing that the automated classification exhibits an accuracy comparable (or even higher) to previous classification methods. Finally, we simulate the {\it Gaia} spectra, showing that our algorithm is able to correctly classify nearly 80% the synthetic WDMS spectra. Our algorithm represents a useful tool in the analysis and classification of real Gaia WDMS spectra. Even for those spectra dominated by the flux of the MS stars, the algorithm reaches a high degree of accuracy (60%).

description: Particles count rates at given Earth location and altitude result from the convolution of (i) the interstellar (IS) cosmic-ray fluxes outside the solar cavity, (ii) the time-dependent modulation of IS into Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) fluxes, (iii) the rigidity cut-off (or geomagnetic transmission function) and grammage at the counter location, (iv) the atmosphere response to incoming TOA cosmic rays (shower development), and (v) the counter response to the various particles/energies in the shower. Count rates from neutron monitors or muon counters are therefore a proxy to solar activity. In this paper, we review all ingredients, discuss how their uncertainties impact count rate calculations, and how they translate into variation/uncertainties on the level of solar modulation $φ$ (in the simple Force-Field approximation). The main uncertainty for neutron monitors is related to the yield function. However, many other effects have a significant impact, at the 5-10\% level on $φ$ values. We find no clear ranking of the dominant effects, as some depend on the station position and/or the weather and/or the season. An abacus to translate any variation of count rates (for neutron and $μ$ detectors) to a variation of the solar modulation $φ$ is provided.

description: We apply to the $n\times n$ chessboard the counting theory from Part I for nonattacking placements of chess pieces with unbounded straight-line moves, such as the queen. Part I showed that the number of ways to place $q$ identical nonattacking pieces is given by a quasipolynomial function of $n$ of degree $2q$, whose coefficients are (essentially) polynomials in $q$ that depend cyclically on $n$. Here we study the periods of the quasipolynomial and its coefficients, which are bounded by functions, not well understood, of the piece's move directions, and we develop exact formulas for the very highest coefficients. The coefficients of the three highest powers of $n$ do not vary with $n$. On the other hand, we present simple pieces for which the fourth coefficient varies periodically. We develop detailed properties of counting quasipolynomials that will be applied in sequels to partial queens, whose moves are subsets of those of the queen, and the nightrider, whose moves are extended knight's moves. We conclude with the first, though strange, formula for the classical $n$-Queens Problem and with several conjectures and open problems.

description: In this paper we consider a semitetrad covariant decomposition of spherically symmetric spacetimes and find a governing hyperbolic equation of the Gaussian curvature of two dimensional spherical shells, that emerges due to the decomposition. The restoration factor of this hyperbolic travelling wave equation allows us to construct a geometric measure of complexity. This measure depends critically on the Gaussian curvature, and we demonstrate this geometric connection to complexity for the first time. We illustrate the utility of this measure by classifying well known spherically symmetric metrics with different matter distributions. We also define an order structure on the set of all spherically symmetric spacetimes, according to their complexity and physical properties.

Ising model in a boundary magnetic field with random discontinuities

description: We consider a two-dimensional Ising field theory on a space with boundary in the presence of a piecewise constant boundary magnetic field which is allowed to change value discontinuously along the boundary. We assume zero magnetic field in the bulk. The positions of discontinuities are averaged over as in the annealed disorder. This model is described by a boundary field theory in which a superposition of the free spin boundary condition is perturbed by a collection of boundary condition changing operators. The corresponding boundary couplings give the allowed constant values of the magnetic field as well as the fugacities for the transitions between them. We show that when the value of the magnetic field is allowed to take only two different values which are the same in magnitude but have different signs the model can be described by a quadratic Lagrangian. We calculate and analyse the exact reflection matrix for this model. We also calculate the boundary entropy and study in detail the space of RG flows in a three-parameter space and with four different infrared fixed points. We discuss the likely breakdown of integrability in the extended model which allows for two generic values of the boundary magnetic field, backing it by some calculations.

description: We analyze the two-species reaction-diffusion system including trapping reaction $A + B \to A$ as well as coagulation/annihilation reactions $A + A \to (A,0)$ where particles of both species are performing Lévy flights with control parameter $0 < σ< 2$, known to lead to superdiffusive behaviour. The density, as well as the correlation function for target particles $B$ in such systems, are known to scale with nontrivial universal exponents at space dimension $d \leq d_{c}$. Applying the renormalization group formalism we calculate these exponents in a case of superdiffusion below the critical dimension $d_c=σ$. The numerical simulations in one-dimensional case are performed as well. The quantitative estimates for the decay exponent of the density of survived particles $B$ are in good agreement with our analytical results. In particular, it is found that the surviving probability of the target particles in a superdiffusive regime is higher than that in a system with ordinary diffusion.
