Heterogeneous online reconstruction at CMS
Creators: name: Bocci, Andrea
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The CMS experiment has been designed with a two-level trigger system: the Level 1 Trigger, implemented on custom-designed electronics, and the High Level Trigger (HLT), a streamlined version of the CMS offline reconstruction software running on a computer farm. A software trigger system requires a trade-off between the complexity of the algorithms running on the available computing resources, the sustainable output rate, and the selection efficiency. Industry and HPC have been successfully using heterogeneous computing platforms to achieve higher throughput and better energy efficiency by matching each job to the most appropriate architecture. The development of a heterogeneous online reconstruction faces some fundamental challenges: the algorithms must achieve the same or better physics performance and processing throughput; they have to be integrated in the experimental reconstruction framework; and it must be possible to run and validate them on conventional machines, without any dedicated resources. Some of the most time consuming algorithms running in the CMS HLT have been ported to run on NVIDIA GPUs using the CUDA platform; the same algorithms can run on conventional CPUs, with identical results and close to naive performance, leveraging "performance portability" libraries. This presentation will describe the results of these developments and the characteristics of the system that is aimed for deployment in production starting from Run 3.

description: We report the results of the \chandra observations of the \swift-discovered short Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 050724. \chandra observed this burst twice, about two days after the burst and a second time three weeks later. The first \chandra pointing occurred at the end of a strong late-time flare. About 150 photons were detected during this 49.3 ks observation in the 0.4-10.0 keV range. The spectral fit is in good agreement with spectral analysis of earlier \swift XRT data. In the second \chandra pointing the afterglow was clearly detected with 8 background-subtracted photons in 44.6 ks. From the combined \swift XRT and \chandra-ACIS-S light curve we find significant flaring superposed on an underlying power-law decay slope of $α$=0.98$^{+0.11}_{-0.09}$. There is no evidence for a break between about 1 ks after the burst and the last \chandra pointing about three weeks after the burst. The non-detection of a jet break places a lower limit of 25$^{\circ}$ on the jet opening angle, indicating that the outflow is less strongly collimated than most previously-reported long GRBs. This implies that the beaming corrected energy of GRB 050724 is at least $4\times 10^{49}$ ergs.

The Cyberpolitics of Music in Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution
Creators: Helbig, Adriana
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Music

description: Between November 21 and December 26, 2004, nearly one million people protested in Kyiv against election fraud, media censorship, mass government corruption, and oligarchic market reforms. These large-scale peaceful protests have become widely known as the Orange Revolution, named after the campaign colors of Viktor Yushchenko, the opposition candidate who ran against Viktor Yanukovych, a politician with a criminal record who was backed by Moscow and the sitting Ukrainian government. In analyzing the relationship between music, social movements, and technology, I draw on the paradigm proposed by Ron Eyerman and Andrew Jamison who argue that "social movements lead to a reconstruction of processes of social interaction and collective identity formation". Though I will present some of the new popular music styles favored by anti-government organizers during the Orange Revolution, particularly one that I call TAK-techno, I am less concerned with the content on the Internet than with the Internet's use as a vital communication tool within socio-political events and music's function within that framework. In this analysis of the relationship between the Internet, music, and politics in post -socialist Ukraine, I argue that technology is not culturally or politically neutral. Rather, cybermusicality was undeniably vital to the Orange Revolution, drawing millions of Internet users into new online communities.
Limits on the Mass, Velocity and Orbit of PSR J1933$-$6211

description: We present a high-precision timing analysis of PSR J1933$-$6211, a millisecond pulsar (MSP) with a 3.5-ms spin period and a white dwarf (WD) companion, using data from the Parkes radio telescope. Since we have accurately measured the polarization properties of this pulsar we have applied the matrix template matching approach in which the times of arrival are measured using full polarimetric information. We achieved a weighted root-mean-square timing residuals (rms) of the timing residuals of 1.23 $\rm μs$, 15.5$\%$ improvement compared to the total intensity timing analysis. After studying the scintillation properties of this pulsar we put constraints on the inclination angle of the system. Based on these measurements and on $χ^2$ mapping we put a 2-$σ$ upper limit on the companion mass (0.44 M$_\odot$). Since this mass limit cannot reveal the nature of the companion we further investigate the possibility of the companion to be a He WD. Applying the orbital period-mass relation for such WDs, we conclude that the mass of a He WD companion would be about 0.26$\pm$0.01 M$_\odot$ which, combined with the measured mass function and orbital inclination limits, would lead to a light pulsar mass $\leqslant$ 1.0 M$_\odot$. This result seems unlikely based on current neutron star formation models and we therefore conclude that PSR J1933$-$6211 most likely has a CO WD companion, which allows for a solution with a more massive pulsar.
Vectorized, imperative, and declarative processing of Awkward Arrays

name: Lange, David
name: Elmer, Peter
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Over the past two years, the uproot library has become widely adopted among particle physicists doing analysis in Python. Rather than presenting an event model, uproot gives the user an array for each particle attribute. In case of multiple particles per event, this array is jagged: an array of unequal-length subarrays. Data structures and operations for manipulating jagged arrays are provided by the awkward-array library, which also includes array types for nested structures, nullability, and heterogeneity. The primary mode of awkward-array manipulation is vectorized in the sense of a Single Python Instruction on Multiple Data ("virtual machine SIMD"). Many implementations of these high-level instructions are also vectorized in the hardware sense. But whereas the implicit loops of vectorized instructions make some calculations easier, they make others harder, especially algorithms that iterate until a convergence condition is met. To support algorithms with explicit for loops, we have extended awkward-array to work with Numba, a popular Python JIT-compiler. Vectorized and imperative programming styles may now be used interchangeably on the same awkward-array structures, with no loss of performance. These two programming styles, column-first vectorized and row-first imperative, differ in their order of execution. We will also show progress on a declarative interface, which doesn't specify the execution order, allowing the implementation to optimize it independently of the content of the physics analysis itself.

We study the dynamics of a wave packet representing a quasiparticle in the $α$-T$_3$ model with zero and finite transverse magnetic field. For zero field, it is shown that the wave packet undergoes a transient $zitterbewegung$ (ZB). Various features of ZB depending on the initial pseudospin polarization of the wave packet have been revealed. For an intermediate value of the parameter $α$ i.e. for $0

description: Storytelling is the best way to grab people's attention, and people who can tell the most compelling stories, stories about their lives, can command the most influence within their communities. Stories are a powerful tool in engaging people that help in knowledge and experience sharing, and they possess the potential to influence quality improvement in healthcare. Sharing a survivor's experience during the journey of the recovery process can reflect upon improvements or problems in a clinical pathway. A good story has the power to motivate, encourage and engage minds in the right direction. Sharing the stories of patients/ patient communities with different stakeholders and general audiences can effectively impact quality improvements and patient experience. In addition, it will help flow information among different sectors, raising awareness and connecting hearts and minds for a better outcome. Tuberculosis, which continues to be a life-threatening problem globally, knows no borders. It is a global health problem, and each year more than 5000 people die of TB globally. The stigma associated with TB is immense, which lead to delays in seeking treatment. Sometimes patients seek help after a prolonged period of self-medications. The social and economic impacts are disastrous, including poverty, stigma and prejudice.The stories of TB survivors from across the globe would throw light on their experience during their treatment and recovery phases, the difficulties they encountered during the treatment period, the social and psychological impact, including the importance of early diagnosis and compliance to the treatment duration. Their voice is a powerful tool to accelerate TB response and to achieve quality TB care.

description: We study quantum-state transfer in $XX$ spin-$1/2$ chains where both communicating spins are weakly coupled to a channel featuring disordered on-site magnetic fields. Fluctuations are modelled by long-range correlated sequences with self-similar profile obeying a power-law spectrum. We show that the channel is able to perform an almost perfect quantum-state transfer in most of the samples even in the presence of significant amounts of disorder provided the degree of those correlations is strong enough. In that case, we also show that the lack of mirror symmetry does not affect much the likelihood of having high-quality outcomes. Our results advance a further step in designing robust devices for quantum communication protocols.

We demonstrate that topology ensures robustness of these objects under small perturbations of a Hamiltonian. This topological robustness is illustrated in several four-band models that exhibit nodal surfaces protected by unitary or anti-unitary symmetries. Surface states and Nielsen-Ninomiya doubling of nodal surfaces are also investigated.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: To address the increase in computational costs and speed requirements for simulation related to the higher luminosity and energy of future accelerators, a number of Fast Simulation tools based on Deep Learning (DL) procedures have been developed. We discuss the features and implementation of an end-to-end framework which integrates DL simulation methods with an existing Full Simulations toolkit (Geant4). We give a description of the key concepts and challenges in developing a production environment level Simulation framework based on Deep Neural Network (DNN) models designed for High Energy Physics (HEP) problem domain and trained on HEP data. We discuss, data generation (simplified calorimeters simulations obtained with the Geant4 toolkit) and processing, DNN architecture evaluation procedures and API integration. We address the challenge of distributional shifts in the input data (dependent on calorimeter type) and evaluate the response of trained networks and propose a general framework for physics validation of DL models in HEP.
Adaptive Blind Sparse-Channel Equalization

description: In this article, a fractional-norm constrained blind adaptive algorithm is presented for sparse channel equalization. In essence, the algorithm improves on the minimization of the constant modulus (CM) criteria by adding a sparsity inducing \(\ell_p\)-norm penalty. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed regularized equalizer exploits the inherent channel sparsity effectively and exhibits faster convergence compared to its counterparts.

Bach: Luther's Musical Prophet?
Creators: Lloyd, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Music

description: It is impossible to read much theological analysis of Bach without encountering Martin Luther. The reformer's name is ubiquitous: he is given both as source and as ultimate authority for the theological ideas supposedly expressed in Bach's music. Most would agree that Luther provides a vital context for interpreting Bach's sacred music.Perhaps it is unsurprising that musicologists have turned to Luther when interpreting Bach. Despite many critiques of the hermeneutic method-such as that of Carolyn Abbate (2004)-musicologists still search out meaning in music by investigating a suitable "horizon of expectations" within which to situate music's meaning and affect historically. My own view is that hermeneutics is inescapable to most of us brought up within the musicological tradition; I tend to agree with Karol Berger's assertion, contra Abbate, that "we cannot help it: we are hermeneutic creatures through and through". Abbate argues for the privileging of the experience of performed music over its hermeneutic interpretation; Berger counters that, while aesthetic experience is indeed an important and under-appreciated part of academic study, the hermeneutic and the experiential cannot be so neatly separated. I side with Berger on this point: whether because of training, conditioning, or instinctive response, many-perhaps most-listeners to Bach's music seem to want to contextualize and understand theirresponses by studying what Bach himself might have thought about his music's purpose and origin.

Dvořak's Armida and the Czech Oriental "Self"
Creators: Nedbal, Martin
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Music

description: On the surface, Armida seems to project binary oppositions. The opera features a brave European hero, Rinald (whose  name represents the Czech version of the more familiar "Rinaldo"). Rinald intrudes, together with his fellow crusaders, into the mysterious kingdom of the Syrian King Hydraot during their campaign to liberate Jerusalem. Rinald endangers the war plans of the crusaders by falling love with Hydraot's daughter Armida, and , as a result, he has to fight the brutal magician Ismen. At the end of the opera, Rinald and the crusaders overcome their Muslim opponents and continue their (colonizing) campaign in Syria. A closer consideration of the opera's libretto and music reveals the distinction between the European crusaders and Muslims is not straightforward as a simple Us/Them dichotomy would prescribe-a fact that several writers have commented upon.
The Pastoral After Environmentalism: Nature and Culture in Stephen Albert's Symphony: RiverRun
Creators: Watkins, Holly
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Music

description: In the arts, a suspicion of progress narratives, which had been gathering steam in the 1960s, fueled the search for alternatives to modernism and its principals of artistic autonomy, abstraction and the evolution of technique. Just as the revival of tonality has inspired controversy among composers and music critics committed to modernist ideals, the reemergence of a relatively tradition form of the pastoral raises questions about the significance of this genre in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Viewed in tandem with official and grass roots efforts to stem the tide of environmental damage, the pastoral's traditional themes of innocence and retreat into nature might appear merely quaint, or even dangerously out of touch with a world in need of concrete solutions to problems of global proportions.

description: We present near-infrared spectroscopic observations of 20 previously known DAZ white dwarfs obtained at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility. Two of these white dwarfs (G29-38 and GD362) are known to display significant K-band excesses due to circumstellar debris disks. Here we report the discovery of excess K-band radiation from another DAZ white dwarf, WD0408-041 (GD56). Using spectroscopic observations, we show that the excess radiation cannot be explained by a stellar or substellar companion, and is likely to be caused by a warm debris disk. Our observations strengthen the connection between the debris disk phenomena and the observed metal abundances in cool DAZ white dwarfs. However, we do not find any excess infrared emission from the most metal rich DAZs with $T_{\rm eff}=$ 16000 -- 20000 K. This suggests that the metal abundances in warmer DAZ white dwarfs may require another explanation.

The UrQMD calculations are done within a finite box with periodic boundary conditions. The system achieves thermal equilibrium due to nucleon-nucleon elastic scattering. For the UrQMD equilibrium state, nucleon energy spectra, equation of state, particle number fluctuations, and shear viscosity $η$ are calculated. The UrQMD results are compared with both, statistical mechanics and Chapman-Enskog kinetic theory, for a classical system of nucleons with hard-core repulsion.

description: We examine the biases inherent to chemical abundance distributions when targets are selected from the red giant branch (RGB), using simulated giant branches created from isochrones. We find that even when stars are chosen from the entire colour range of RGB stars and over a broad range of magnitudes, the relative numbers of stars of different ages and metallicities, integrated over all stellar types, are not accurately represented in the giant branch sample. The result is that metallicity distribution functions derived from RGB star samples require a correction before they can be fit by chemical evolution models. We derive simple correction factors for over- and under-represented populations for the limiting cases of single-age populations with a broad range of metallicities and of continuous star formation at constant metallicity; an important general conclusion is that intermediate-age populations (~1-4Gyr) are over-represented in RGB samples. We apply our models to the case of the Large Magellanic Cloud bar and show that the observed metallicity distribution underestimates the true number of metal-poor stars by more than 25%; as a result, the inferred importance of gas flows in chemical evolution models could potentially be overestimated. The age- and metallicity-dependences of RGB lifetimes require careful modelling if they are not to lead to spurious conclusions about the chemical enrichment history of galaxies.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: In High Energy Physics, simulation activity is a key element for theoretical models evaluation and detector design choices. The increase in the luminosity of particle accelerators leads to a higher computational cost when dealing with the orders of magnitude increase in collected data. Thus, novel methods for speeding up simulation procedures (FastSimulation tools) are being developed with the help of Deep Learning. For this task, unsupervised learning is performed based on a given training HEP dataset with generative models employed to render samples from the same distribution. A novel Deep Learning architecture is proposed in this research based on autoregressive connections to model the simulation output by decomposing the event distribution as a product of conditionals. The aim is for the network to be able to capture nonlinear, long-range correlations and input varying dependencies with tractable, explicit probability densities. The following research report analyses the benefits of employing autoregressive models in comparison with previously proposed models and their ability for generalisation in the attempt of fitting multiple data distributions. The training dataset contains different simplified calorimeters simulations obtained with the Geant4 toolkit (such as: PbWO4, W/Si). Finally, testing procedures and results for network performance are developed and analysed.

description: To resolve conflicts among norms, various nonmonotonic formalisms can be used to perform prioritized normative reasoning. Meanwhile, formal argumentation provides a way to represent nonmonotonic logics. In this paper, we propose a representation of prioritized normative reasoning by argumentation. Using hierarchical abstract normative systems, we define three kinds of prioritized normative reasoning approaches, called Greedy, Reduction, and Optimization. Then, after formulating an argumentation theory for a hierarchical abstract normative system, we show that for a totally ordered hierarchical abstract normative system, Greedy and Reduction can be represented in argumentation by applying the weakest link and the last link principles respectively, and Optimization can be represented by introducing additional defeats capturing the idea that for each argument that contains a norm not belonging to the maximal obeyable set then this argument should be rejected.

description: Tensor charge of the nucleon, which will be measured in Drell-Yan processes in polarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC, are studied in quenched lattice QCD simulation. On the 16$^3\times$ 20 lattice with $β=5.7$, connected parts of the tensor charge are determined with small statistical error, while the disconnected parts are found to be small with relatively large error bars. Flavor-singlet tensor charge ($δΣ= δu + δd + δs$) is not suppressed as opposed to the flavor singlet axial charge ($ΔΣ= Δu + Δd + Δs$).

description: We compute the asymptotics of a block Toeplitz determinant which arises in the classical dimer model for the triangular lattice when considering the monomer-monomer correlation function. The model depends on a parameter interpolating between the square lattice ($t=0$) and the triangular lattice ($t=1$), and we obtain the asymptotics for $0
Similarity Hashing and Learning for Tracks Reconstruction

description: At the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), many proton-proton collisions happen during a single bunch crossing. This leads on average to tens of thousands of particles emerging from the interaction region. Two major factors impede finding charged particle trajectories from measured hits in the tracking detectors. First, deciding whether a given set of hits was produced by a common particle is an under-specified task. State-of-the-art reconstruction models usually tackle this issue via so-called track following only at a later stage after considering many hits. Second, assuming a nearly perfect hit-particle decision function, constructing possible hit combinations to their compatibility using this decision function is a combinatorial problem. Thus, the traditional approach will grow exponentially as the number of simultaneous collisions increase at the HL-LHC and pose a major computational challenge. We propose a framework for Similarity Hashing and Learning for Track Reconstruction (SHLTR) where multiple small regions of the detector are reconstructed in parallel with minimal fake rate. We use hashing techniques to separate the detector search space into buckets. The particle purity of these buckets, i.e. how many hits from the same particle are contained, is increased using locality sensitivity in feature space where per-hit features beyond just its position are considered. The bucket size is sufficiently small to significantly reduce the complexity of track reconstruction within the buckets or regions. A neural network selects valid combinations in the buckets and builds up full trajectories by connected components search independently of global positions of the hits and detector geometry. The whole process occurs simultaneously in the multiple regions of the detector and curved particles are found by allowing buckets to overlap. We present first results of such a track reconstruction chain including efficiency, fake estimates, and computational performances in µ=200 datasets.

description: Far out-of-equilibrium many-body quantum dynamics in isolated systems necessarily generate interferences beyond an Ehrenfest time scale, where quantum and classical expectation values diverge. Of great recent interest is the role these interferences play in the spreading of quantum information across the many degrees of freedom, i.e.~scrambling. Ultracold atomic gases provide a promising setting to explore these phenomena. Theoretically speaking, the heavily-relied-upon truncated Wigner approximation leaves out these interferences. We develop a semiclassical theory which bridges classical and quantum concepts in many-body bosonic systems and properly incorporates such missing quantum effects. For mesoscopically populated Bose-Hubbard systems, it is shown that this theory captures post-Ehrenfest quantum interference phenomena very accurately, and contains relevant phase information to perform many-body spectroscopy with high precision.

A Large Dark Matter Core in the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy?

description: We use measurements of the stellar velocity dispersion profile of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy to derive constraints on its dark matter distribution. Though the data are unable to distinguish between models with small cores and those with cusps, we show that a large > 1 kpc dark matter core in Fornax is highly implausible. Irrespective of the origin of the core, reasonable dynamical limits on the mass of the Fornax halo constrain its core radius to be no larger than 700 pc. We derive an upper limit core radius of 300 pc by demanding that the central phase space density of Fornax not exceed that directly inferred from the rotation curves of low-mass spiral galaxies. Further, if the halo is composed of warm dark matter then phase-space constraints force the core to be quite small in order to avoid conservative limits from the Ly alpha forest power spectrum, implying a core radius < 85 pc. We discuss our results in the context of the idea that the extended globular cluster distribution in Fornax can be explained by the presence of a large 1.5 kpc core. A self-consistent core of this size would be drastically inconsistent with the expectations of standard warm or cold dark matter models, and would also require an unreasonably massive dark matter halo, with a maximum circular velocity of 200 km/s.

Gribov Copies in the Maximally Abelian Gauge and Confinement

description: We fix $SU(2)$ lattice gauge fields to the Maximally Abelian gauge in both three and four dimensions. We extract the corresponding $U(1)$ fields and monopole current densities and calculate separately the confining string tensions arising from these $U(1)$ fields and monopole `condensates'. We generate multiple Gribov copies and study how the $U(1)$ fields and monopole distributions vary between these different copies. As expected, we find substantial variations in the number of monopoles, their locations and in the values of the $U(1)$ field strengths. The string tensions extracted from `extreme' Gribov copies also differ but this difference appears to be no more than about 20\%. We also directly compare the fields of different Gribov copies. We find that on the distance scales relevant to confinement the $U(1)$ and monopole fluxes that disorder Wilson loops are highly correlated between these different Gribov copies. All this suggests that while there is indeed a Gribov copy problem the resulting ambiguity is, in this gauge and for the study of confinement, of limited importance.
