A Monte Carlo study of Pion Beta Decay in the RMC spectrometer
Creators: name: Veillette, Sacha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Through Monte Carlo simulation, this thesis assesses the efficiency, strengths and weaknesses of the TRIUMF Radiative Muon Capture pair-spectrometer for the purpose of performing a measurement of Pion Beta Decay. We discuss the importance of Pion Beta Decay in terms of current theories of particle physics, with a special emphasis on the Standard Model. Properties of this weak process are described and some past and ongoing experimental efforts are briefly reviewed. The actual Radiative Muon Capture facility is described since on its configuration, the signatures of the relevant processes, the Pion Beta Decay signal and the experimental backgrounds. The detailed manner by which the respective rates have to be evaluated is also explained. We concentrate on the work done to obtain a realistic simulation for processes with branching ratios of the order 10- 8 or less. The basic Monte Carlo software used, CERN's GEANT 3 program, is introduced before the major modifications made to the package are described in detail. The optimal analysis scheme for the present detector is assessed by studying a variety of energy and geometry cuts on the Monte Carlo data. The expected experimental rates are obtained from a complete analysis by combining various cuts. We discuss the results in terms of the present experimental setup. Some possible modifications to the RMC pair-spectrometer are discussed based on the simulated properties of Pion Beta Decay. Other possible modifications as well as alternative detector designs are also discussed briefly. This study shows that, due to an overall low acceptance for two-photon events, the present detector is not suitable for a Pion Beta Decay measurement. However, because of its unique features for the reconstruction of photons from e+e- conversion pairs, the spectrometer does present great advantages for background reduction for a Pion Beta Decay signal if a factor of 10 increase in the pion flux (π+) could be obtained.

description: An exponential kind of quintessential inflation potential motivated by supergravity is studied. This type belongs to the class of α-attractor models. The model was studied for the first time by Dimopoulos and Owen in [J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys. 06 (2017) 027], in which the authors introduced a negative cosmological constant in order to ensure a zero-vacuum energy density at late times. However, in this paper, we disregard this cosmological constant, showing that the obtained results are very close to the ones obtained recently in the context of Lorentzian quintessential inflation and thus depicting with great accuracy the early- and late-time acceleration of our Universe. The model is compatible with the recent observations. Finally, we review the treatment of the α-attractor and we show that our potential depicts the late time cosmic acceleration with an effective equation of state equal to -1.

description: Predictions for light charged hadron production data in the current fragmentation region of deeply inelastic scattering from the H1 and ZEUS experiments are calculated using perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics at next-to-leading order, and using fragmentation functions obtained by fitting to similar data from $e^+ e^-$ reactions. General good agreement is found when the magnitude $Q^2$ of the hard photon's virtuality is sufficiently large. The discrepancy at low $Q$ and small scaled momentum $x_p$ is reduced by incorporating mass effects of the detected hadron. By performing quark tagging, the contributions to the overall fragmentation from the various quark flavours in the $ep$ reactions are studied and compared to the contributions in $e^+ e^-$ reactions. The yields of the various hadron species are also calculated.
Low density expansion for Lyapunov exponents

description: In some quasi-one-dimensional weakly disordered media, impurities are large and rare rather than small and dense. For an Anderson model with a low density of strong impurities, a perturbation theory in the impurity density is developed for the Lyapunov exponent and the density of states. The Lyapunov exponent grows linearly with the density. Anomalies of the Kappus-Wegner type appear for all rational quasi-momenta even in lowest order perturbation theory.

The contribution of the string-junction mechanism to the strange baryon production is analysed. The results of numerical calculations are in reasonable agreement with the data on inclusive spectra of p, Lambda, bar{Lambda}, and on the bar{Lambda}/Lambda asymmetry. The predictions for Xi and Omega baryons are presented.

description: The majoron, a neutrinophilic pseudo-Goldstone boson conventionally arising in the context of neutrino mass models, can damp neutrino free-streaming and inject additional energy density into neutrinos prior to recombination. The combination of these effects for an eV-scale mass majoron has been shown to ameliorate the outstanding $H_0$ tension, however only if one introduces additional dark radiation at the level of $ΔN_{\rm eff} \sim 0.5$. We show here that models of low-scale leptogenesis can naturally source this dark radiation by generating a primordial population of majorons from the decays of GeV-scale sterile neutrinos in the early Universe. Using a posterior predictive distribution conditioned on Planck2018+BAO data, we show that the value of $H_0$ observed by the SH$_0$ES collaboration is expected to occur at the level of $\sim 10\%$ in the primordial majoron cosmology (to be compared with $\sim 0.1\%$ in the case of $Λ$CDM). This insight provides an intriguing connection between the neutrino mass mechanism, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, and the discrepant measurements of $H_0$.

description: Close-in giant planets (e.g. ``Hot Jupiters'') are thought to form far from their host stars and migrate inward, through the terrestrial planet zone, via torques with a massive gaseous disk. Here we simulate terrestrial planet growth during and after giant planet migration. Several-Earth mass planets also form interior to the migrating Jovian planet, analogous to recently-discovered ``Hot Earths''. Very water-rich, Earth-mass planets form from surviving material outside the giant planet's orbit, often in the Habitable Zone and with low orbital eccentricities. More than a third of the known systems of giant planets may harbor Earth-like planets.

description: We present a method that gives highly accurate electrostatic potentials for systems where we have periodic boundary conditions in two spatial directions but free boundary conditions in the third direction. These boundary conditions are needed for all kind of surface problems. Our method has an O(N log N) computational cost, where N is the number of grid points, with a very small prefactor. This Poisson solver is primarily intended for real space methods where the charge density and the potential are given on a uniform grid.

Women and chemical dependency : a socialist feminist approach
Creators: name: Raby, Rebecca Catherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis applies a socialist feminist analysis to our understanding of women and chemical dependency. Most addiction models, such as the disease model, are based on a male norm, and isolate the individual from society. The influences of social and economic inequality are ignored. Socialist feminism examines capitalist patriarchy and its perpetuation of such inequalities. Applying this theory to chemical dependency in women, the social context of addiction can be better understood. This analysis is enhanced by the inclusion of qualitative and quantitative data collected as part of an evaluative report produced for Maiya House Society (Raby 1991). Forty-nine women who had completed chemical dependency treatment were interviewed. Women's experiences with chemical dependency are different from those of men. Women are more likely to use alcohol or prescription drugs than hard drugs, to experience social stigma, to develop alcohol-related health problems and to have been sexually abused. These experiences influence the treatment women require. Here, explorative findings suggest feminist, women-oriented treatment is needed. Also, post-treatment employment and a strong support network improve treatment success. Further research is necessary. The influence of gender roles and the experiences of chemically dependent women of colour and lesbian and bisexual women require investigation, as do the ramifications of feminist treatment.

description: Spin-phonon coupling and magnetodielectric effects of ZnCr2Se4 were investigated by means of infrared (IR) spectroscopy as a function of temperature and magnetic field. ZnCr2Se4 is dominated by ferromagnetic exchange but undergoes antiferromagnetic order at T = 21 K. In the magnetically ordered phase the low-frequency IR active phonon splits, indicating strong dynamic anisotropy via magnetic exchange interactions. Antiferromagnetic order and concomitantly the phonon splitting is wiped out by external magnetic fields. Hence, ZnCr2Se4 is a prominent example of a spin-driven Jahn-Teller effect which can be fully suppressed in external magnetic fields.

description: KCuCl$_3$ is a three dimensionally coupled spin dimer system, which undergoes a pressure-induced quantum phase transition from a gapped ground state to an antiferromagnetic state at a critical pressure of $P_{\rm c} \simeq 8.2$ kbar. Magnetic excitations in KCuCl$_3$ at a hydrostatic pressure of 4.7 kbar have been investigated by conducting neutron inelastic scattering experiments using a newly designed cylindrical high-pressure clamp cell. A well-defined single excitation mode is observed. The softening of the excitation mode due to the applied pressure is clearly observed. From the analysis of the dispersion relations, it is found that an intradimer interaction decreases under hydrostatic pressure, while most interdimer interactions increase.

A New Signal Representation Using Complex Conjugate Pair Sums

description: This letter introduces a real valued summation known as Complex Conjugate Pair Sum (CCPS). The space spanned by CCPS and its one circular downshift is called {\em Complex Conjugate Subspace (CCS)}. For a given positive integer $N\geq3$, there exists $\frac{φ(N)}{2}$ CCPSs forming $\frac{φ(N)}{2}$ CCSs, where $φ(N)$ is the Euler's totient function. We prove that these CCSs are mutually orthogonal and their direct sum form a $φ(N)$ dimensional subspace $s_N$ of $\mathbb{C}^N$. We propose that any signal of finite length $N$ is represented as a linear combination of elements from a special basis of $s_d$, for each divisor $d$ of $N$. This defines a new transform named as Complex Conjugate Periodic Transform (CCPT). Later, we compared CCPT with DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) and RPT (Ramanujan Periodic Transform). It is shown that, using CCPT we can estimate the period, hidden periods and frequency information of a signal. Whereas, RPT does not provide the frequency information. For a complex valued input signal, CCPT offers computational benefit over DFT. A CCPT dictionary based method is proposed to extract non-divisor period information.

description: We have studied low-frequency resistance fluctuations in shadow-evaporated Al/AlOx/Al tunnel junctions. Between 300 K and 5 K the spectral density follows a 1/f-law. Below 5 K, individual defects distort the 1/f-shape of the spectrum. The spectral density decreases linearly with temperature between 150 K and 1 K and saturates below 0.8 K. At 4.2 K, the spectral density is about two orders of magnitude lower than expected from a recent survey [D. J. Van Harlingen et al., Phys. Rev. B 70, 064510 (2004)]. Due to the saturation below 0.8 K the estimated qubit dephasing times at 100 mK are only about two times longer than calculated by Van Harlingen et al.

description: For random matrix ensembles with non-gaussian matrix elements that may exhibit some correlations, it is shown that centered traces of polynomials in the matrix converge in distribution to a Gaussian process whose covariance matrix is diagonal in the basis of Chebyshev polynomials. The proof is combinatorial and adapts Wigner's argument showing the convergence of the density of states to the semicircle law.

description: Although matter contributions to the graviton self-energy $-i[\mbox{}^{μν} Σ^{ρσ}](x;x')$ must be separately conserved on $x^μ$ and ${x'}^μ$, graviton contributions obey the weaker constraint of the Ward identity, which involves a divergence on both coordinates. On a general homogeneous and isotropic background this leads to just four structure functions for matter contributions but nine structure functions for graviton contributions. We propose a convenient parameterization for these nine structure functions. We also apply the formalism to explicit one loop computations of $-i[\mbox{}^{μν} Σ^{ρσ}](x;x')$ on de Sitter background, one of the contributions from a massless, minimally coupled scalar and the other for the contribution from gravitons in the simplest gauge. We also specialize the linearized, quantum-corrected Einstein equation to the graviton mode function and to the gravitational response to a point mass.

Η πόλη των Ιωάννινων έχει αξιοσημείωτη έκταση στο χρόνο. Ο σύγχρονος αστικός χώρος έχει συσσωρεύσει κατάλοιπα διαφόρων εποχών, τα οποία πυκνώνουν και ποικίλλουν στην περιοχή του Κάστρου. Το οθωμανικό λουτρό ανήκει στο ευρύτερο σύνολο μνημείων της περιοχής γύρω από τη ΒΑ Ακρόπολη, όπου, επιπλέον, η χρήση του δημόσιου λουτρού είναι διαχρονική∙ δίπλα του εντοπίστηκαν τα ερείπια ενός βυζαντινού λουτρού. Το πολυσύνθετο αυτό σημείο του πολεοδομικού ιστού μοιάζει αμήχανο κενό, καθώς δεν έχουν βρεθεί οι όροι συνύπαρξης του ετερόκλητου υλικού που περιέχει. Η έρευνα εκκινεί από το εξής ερώτημα: «από τί κόσμους προέρχονται τα δύο λουτρά, οθωμανικό και βυζαντινό, που συναντούμε σήμερα ως ξένα σώματα μέσα στη γειτονιά του Κάστρου»; Το ερώτημα ήδη μας προετοιμάζει για ένα «ταξίδι μέσα στο χρόνο», το οποίο θα μας καταστήσει πιο οικεία αυτά τα υλικά κατάλοιπα και θα μας τροφοδοτήσει με εργαλεία και ιδέες για να τους αποδώσουμε νέους ρόλους. Η εργασία αναπτύχθηκε γύρω από τρεις άξονες: την έρευνα πρωτογενών πηγών, δευτερογενών πηγών, καθώς και την επιτόπια έρευνα των δύο λουτρών και της άμεσης περιοχής τους. Αρχικός σκοπός ήταν η κατανόηση της λειτουργίας και των αλλαγών του αστικού χώρου και της αρχιτεκτονικής των λουτρών διαχρονικά. Απώτερος σκοπός ήταν να διαγραφεί ένα σκεπτικό αποκατάστασης και ανάδειξης, που θα πηγάζει μέσα από μια διαχρονική οπτική.
description: Inspired by the words of Leonardo Benevolo, this study focuses on the ottoman hamam of the Glykidon Square, in the Castle of Ioannina and aims at designing its’ restoration. The city has a longstanding presence in time. The modern urban space embodies diverse remnants of the past, most of them located at the Castle area. The ottoman hamam is part of a wide camp of monuments, surrounding the NE Acropolis, where the use of public baths has been intertemporal; a byzantine era bath lies on the same site. This part of the urban tissue is quite complex and awkward; the heterogeneous urban material gathered here hardly coexists. The question is; “which is the origin of the two baths, the byzantine and the ottoman one, that nowadays seem to be alien to this neighborhood?” This question opens “a journey through time,” that will familiarize us with this urban material and will provide the tools and ideas for allocating their new roles in the current urban context. This study is based on primary and secondary sources, as well as field research on these two bath buildings and the surrounding area. This research aims firstly at comprehending the changes of the urban space and of the architecture of the baths through the course of time. Consequently, it aims at defining the guidelines of the restoration project, in compliance with the monument’s history.

description: Σε αυτήν την εργασία ακολουθούμε δώδεκα μαθητές της Στ’ τάξης του δημοτικού στην προσπάθειά τους να λύσουν (πρώτα ατομικά και στη συνέχεια σε ομάδες των τριών) αριθμητικά και γεωμετρικά προβλήματα. Η έρευνα εστιάζει στην ανίχνευση και στη σύγκριση των διαφόρων ενεργειών ελέγχου που λαμβάνουν χώρα κατά τη διάρκεια της ατομικής και συνεργατικής επίλυσης προβλήματος. Τα ευρήματα δείχνουν από τη μια ένα σημαντικά μεγαλύτερο εύρος ενεργειών ελέγχου κατά την συνεργατική επίλυση προβλήματος σε σύγκριση με την ατομική (στο πνεύμα αντίστοιχων στρατηγικών όπως αυτές εντοπίστηκαν στο Papadopoulos και Sekeroglou, 2018), ενώ από την άλλη εμφανίζονται και νέες στρατηγικές που δεν είχαν εντοπιστεί νωρίτερα. Αυτό αναδεικνύει τη δυναμική συμβολή της συνεργατικής επίλυσης σε θέματα ελέγχου. Ταυτόχρονα αναδεικνύονται τα οφέλη των μαθητών που προκύπτουν από την κοινωνική μεταγνώση που λαμβάνει χώρα στη συνεργατική επίλυση. Ως τέτοια θεωρούνται η μείωση των (μετα)γνωστικών απαιτήσεων για κάθε μέλος της ομάδας και άρα μικρότερες πιθανότητες λάθους και μεγαλύτερες για επιτυχή επίλυση, το γεγονός ότι η μεταγνωστική ικανότητα σε προσωπικό επίπεδο γίνεται διάφανη στους άλλους και βελτιώνεται, η δόμηση κοινής κατανόησης και η επέκτασή της, καθώς επίσης και η αμοιβαία κινητοποίηση των μελών της ομάδας
description: In this study we follow 12 grade-6 students while trying to solve (first individually and then in groups of three) arithmetical and geometrical problems. The focus is on identifying and comparing the control actions taken during both the collaborative and individual problem-solving. The findings indicate that on the one hand there exist a significant difference in the range of the control actions in favor of the collaborative setting (in the spirit of the work of Papadopoulos and Sekeroglou, 2018). On the other hand, new types of control emerged that were not mentioned in earlier studies. This highlights the potential contribution of the collaborative problem-solving to the issue of control. At the same time this study highlights the students’ benefits from the social metacognition that takes place in the collaborative problem-solving: (Meta)cognitive demands are distributed among the members of the team reducing thus the (meta)cognitive load for each student which means that the chances for making errors are reduced whereas the chances for successful problem-solving are improved. Individual metacognition is improved, and its visibility is increased. The members build a shared understanding and expand their understanding. The group’s members motivate one each other

description: We present a mathematical description of the voter model dynamics on heterogeneous networks. When the average degree of the graph is $μ\leq 2$ the system reaches complete order exponentially fast. For $μ>2$, a finite system falls, before it fully orders, in a quasistationary state in which the average density of active links (links between opposite-state nodes) in surviving runs is constant and equal to $\frac{(μ-2)}{3(μ-1)}$, while an infinite large system stays ad infinitum in a partially ordered stationary active state. The mean life time of the quasistationary state is proportional to the mean time to reach the fully ordered state $T$, which scales as $T \sim \frac{(μ-1) μ^2 N}{(μ-2) μ_2}$, where $N$ is the number of nodes of the network, and $μ_2$ is the second moment of the degree distribution. We find good agreement between these analytical results and numerical simulations on random networks with various degree distributions.

description: We analyse a simple discrete-time stochastic process for the theoretical modeling of the evolution of protein lengths. At every step of the process a new protein is produced as a modification of one of the proteins already existing and its length is assumed to be random variable which depends only on the length of the originating protein. Thus a Random Recursive Trees (RRT) is produced over the natural integers. If (quasi) scale invariance is assumed, the length distribution in a single history tends to a lognormal form with a specific signature of the deviations from exact gaussianity. Comparison with the very large SIMAP protein database shows good agreement.

Old growth forest preservation in British Columbia and the American Pacific Northwest : an account of a debate for survival
Creators: name: Waatainen, Jeffrey Bernard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This essay offers a study of old growth forest policy in British Columbia and the American Pacific Northwest and, in so doing, attempts to contribute to the sparse comparative environmental literature that uses Canada as a case study. Specifically, the essay addresses the question of why old growth forest preservation policy divergences so dramatically between British Columbia and the American Pacific Northwest. After establishing that American Pacific Northwest and British Columbia old growth forest preservation policy diverges, the author employs a chronological methodology to reconstruct the current old growth preservation policy outcomes in both jurisdictions. The author then identifies a series of variables that affect old growth forest preservation policy in both jurisdictions, and examines each as a force of divergence. The essay discusses the different influences of two non-institutional variables-science and economics-and two institutional variables-federalism and legalism-on American Pacific Northwest and British Columbia old growth policy. The essay concludes by discussing the question of how each variable works with one another to produce this instance of policy divergence. The author finds that all four variables collaborate with one another and contribute to the divergence. However, the essay concludes that the major determining factor in this case of policy divergence is the interplay of the two institutional variables.

description: Recent experiments [J. Guo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.124,206602 (2020)] on thermodynamic properties of the frustrated layered quantum magnet SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ -- the Shastry-Sutherland material -- have provided strong evidence for a low-temperature phase transition between plaquette-singlet and antiferromagnetic order as a function of pressure. Further motivated by the recently discovered unusual first-order quantum phase transition with an apparent emergent O(4) symmetry of the antiferromagnetic and plaquette-singlet order parameters in a two-dimensional "checkerboard J-Q" quantum spin model [B. Zhao et al., Nat. Phys. 15, 678 (2019)], we here study the same model in the presence of weak inter-layer couplings. Our focus is on the evolution of the emergent symmetry as the system crosses over from two to three dimensions and the phase transition extends from strictly zero temperature in two dimensions up to finite temperature as expected in SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$. Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we map out the phase boundaries of the plaquette-singlet and antiferromagnetic phases, with particular focus on the triple point where these two order phases meet the paramagnetic phase for given strength of the inter-layer coupling. All transitions are first-order in the neighborhood of the triple points. We show that the emergent O(4) symmetry of the coexistence state breaks down clearly when the interlayer coupling becomes sufficiently large, but for a weak coupling, of the magnitude expected experimentally, the enlarged symmetry can still be observed at the triple point up to significant length scales. Thus, it is likely that the plaquette-singlet to antiferromagnetic transition in SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ exhibits remnants of emergent O(4) symmetry, which should be observable due to additional weakly gapped Goldstone modes.

description: Quantum geometry has been identified as an important ingredient for the physics of quantum materials and especially of flat-band systems, such as moiré materials. On the other hand, the coupling between light and matter is of key importance across disciplines and especially for Floquet and cavity engineering of solids. Here we present fundamental relations between light-matter coupling and quantum geometry of Bloch wave functions, with a particular focus on flat-band and moiré materials, in which the quenching of the electronic kinetic energy could allow one to reach the limit of strong light-matter coupling more easily than in highly dispersive systems. We show that, despite the fact that flat bands have vanishing band velocities and curvatures, light couples to them via geometric contributions. Specifically, the intra-band quantum metric allows diamagnetic coupling inside a flat band; the inter-band Berry connection governs dipole matrix elements between flat and dispersive bands. We illustrate these effects in two representative model systems: (i) a sawtooth quantum chain with a single flat band, and (ii) a tight-binding model for twisted bilayer graphene. For (i) we highlight the importance of quantum geometry by demonstrating a nonvanishing diamagnetic light-matter coupling inside the flat band. For (ii) we explore the twist-angle dependence of various light-matter coupling matrix elements. Furthermore, at the magic angle corresponding to almost flat bands, we show a Floquet-topological gap opening under irradiation with circularly polarized light despite the nearly vanishing Fermi velocity. We discuss how these findings provide fundamental design principles and tools for light-matter-coupling-based control of emergent electronic properties in flat-band and moiré materials.

description: Magneto-optic studies of ZnO doped with transition metals Co, Mn, V and Ti indicate a significant magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) at the ZnO band edge at room temperature, together with an associated dispersive Faraday rotation. Similar spectra occur for each dopant which implies that the ferromagnetism is an intrinsic property of the bulk ZnO lattice. At 10 K additional paramagnetic contributions to the MCD are observed, but above about 150K, the magnitude of the MCD signal is dominated by the ferromagnetism and is almost temperature independent. The MCD at the ZnO band edge shows room temperature hysteretic behaviour.

description: The authors introduce a novel approach to study the propagation of high frequency acoustic phonons in which the generation and detection involves two spatially separated superlattices $\sim 1 {\rm μm}$ apart. Propagating modes of frequencies up to $\sim 1 {\rm THz}$ escape from the superlattice where they are generated and reach the second superlattice where they are detected. The measured frequency spectrum reveals finite size effects, which can be accounted for by a continuum elastic model.

Upper bounds on wavepacket spreading for random Jacobi matrices

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A method is presented for proving upper bounds on the moments of the position operator when the dynamics of quantum wavepackets is governed by a random (possibly correlated) Jacobi matrix. As an application, one obtains sharp upper bounds on the diffusion exponents for random polymer models, coinciding with the lower bounds obtained in a prior work. The second application is an elementary argument (not using multiscale analysis or the Aizenman-Molchanov method) showing that under the condition of uniformly positive Lyapunov exponents, the moments of the position operator grow at most logarithmically in time.

description: This work presents a fully data-driven, black-box pipeline to obtain an optimal control policy for a multi-loop building control problem based on historical building and weather data, thus without the need for complex physics-based modelling. We demonstrate the method for joint control of room temperature and bidirectional EV charging to maximize the occupant thermal comfort and energy savings while leaving enough energy in the EV battery for the next trip. We modelled the room temperature with a recurrent neural network and EV charging with a piece-wise linear function. Using these models as a simulation environment, we applied a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm to obtain an optimal control policy. The learnt policy achieves on average 17% energy savings over the heating season and 19% better comfort satisfaction than a standard RB room temperature controller. When a bidirectional EV is additionally connected and a two-tariff electricity pricing is applied, the MIMO DRL policy successfully leverages the battery and decreases the overall cost of electricity compared to two standard RB controllers, one controlling the room temperature and another controlling the bidirectional EV (dis-)charging. Finally, we demonstrate a successful transfer of the learnt DRL policy from simulation onto a real building, the DFAB HOUSE at Empa Duebendorf in Switzerland, achieving up to 30% energy savings while maintaining similar comfort levels compared to a conventional RB room temperature controller over three weeks during the heating season.
