Search for Light Sterile Neutrinos With Eight Years of IceCube Data
Creators: name: Arguelles, Carlos
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: IceCube is a gigaton-scale neutrino detector in Antartica. Its large volume enables the measurement of high-energy, in the TeV range, atmospheric neutrinos. Using eight years of through-going muon neutrino data collected by IceCube, we performed a search for light sterile neutrinos motivated by the short-baseline oscillation anomalies. This new result in muon-neutrino disappearance is unique in that the disappearance probability is enhanced with respect to vacuum expectation by matter effects.

description: In order to investigate the economic performance of business processes, simulations are performed. These
simulations determine values of key performance indicators (KPIs ). We sought a valid solution to integrate
KPIs in our Process Analysis Studio (PAS). Our investigation aims for a concept which describes a valid
approach to deal with KPIs in multiple business process models.
In this paper, we present a valid concept of a KPI calculation model. We describe which types of KPIs are
needed in order to give users a huge amount of freedom to investigate different aspects of the process
performance. Using scenarios could empower comprehensive investigations of different interrelated
aspects of the process. From the presented concept of scenarios special requirements are derived which
have to be considered in a concept of a KPI calculation model.
 The concept contributes to the discussion about the right design of a KPI calculation model. The presented
approach could also be used in other process analysis solutions, in order to allow individual performance
investigations.

The Borexino Monte Carlo simulations for the CNO neutrino detection
Creators: name: Basilico, Davide
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Borexino is a solar neutrino detector based on 280 tons of ultrapure liquid scintillator, located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. Its latest primary goal (2016-2020) was the observation of neutrinos emitted from the CNO cycle, undetected so far. An accurate Monte Carlo simulation is essential to achieve this goal: the Borexino simulation package reproduces the detector energy and position response, within the analysis volume, at 1% precision level, in the 100 keV – MeV range. From 2016, an energy scale discrepancy between simulations and data emerged, preventing to perform the Monte Carlo fit on recent data. An upgrade of the effective photomultipliers quantum efficiencies calculation, followed by a re-tuning of Monte Carlo input parameters, allowed to solve the issue. This improvement restored the simulation performances to the required precision, allowing to perform the Monte Carlo fit on 2016-2020 data, leading to the CNO neutrino detection.

description: Neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering provides a unique laboratory to study the quantum mechanical coherency effects in electroweak interactions. We present an analytical formulation [1] to quantify the coherency effects, relate this to nuclear form factors and experimental cross-section ratios, and characterize how its energy dependence leads to complementary among measurements at various neutrino sources with different targets. The latest results and prospects of observing this process at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino Laboratory with germanium detectors with O(100 eV) threshold [2] will also be presented. [1].

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Borexino experiment, located at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, and widely known for its rich Solar Neutrino physics program, has entered its 13th year of data taking. The detector, at present in its high-purity Phase III data taking, was thermally insulated in order to improve the fluid stability. As an outcome, quality of the data has significantly increased leading to new levels of sensitivity to all solar neutrino fluxes and allowing a more sensitive probe for CNO neutrinos. The quality of the collected data, the stability of the detector as well as the capability to maintain the highest possible duty cycle have been essential for the success of all the Borexino analysis, and have to be constantly monitored. This poster presents the strategies adopted to improve data quality and to maintain the stability of data taking at the same level of reliable operation achieved in the past years.

description: The next generation of neutrinoless double beta decay searches aims to reach sensitivities in the half-life of the process up to $10^{28}$ years. This will require tonne scale detectors with almost no background in their region of interest, which represents a large improvement with respect to current technologies. One of the most interesting solutions is the possibility of tagging the daughter ion produced in the decay. The NEXT collaboration is currently involved in a strong R&D program based on fluorescent molecules that show promising results towards a single ion identification in pressure gas. I will show the latest results based on the spectral shift of the emission fluorescence of this molecule after Ba$^{++}$ capture in dry media. The emission light is then detected by Two Photon Absorption microscopy, which allows autofocus. Additionally, I will detail how this technique can be integrated into a xenon gas detector.

Low Complexity Transceiver Design for GFDM

description: Due to its attractive properties, generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) is recently being discussed as a candidate waveform for the fifth generation of wireless communication systems (5G). GFDM is introduced as a generalized form of the widely used orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme and since it uses only one cyclic prefix (CP) for a group of symbols rather than a CP per symbol, it is more bandwidth efficient than OFDM. In this paper, we propose novel transceiver structures for GFDM by taking advantage of the particular structure in the modulation matrix. Our proposed transmitter is based on modulation matrix sparsification through application of fast Fourier transform (FFT) to reduce the implementation complexity. A unified receiver structure for matched filter (MF), zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) receivers is also derived. The proposed receiver techniques harness the special block circulant property of the matrices involved in the demodulation stage to reduce the computational cost of the system implementation. We have derived the closed forms for the ZF and MMSE receiver filters. Additionally, our algorithms do not incur any performance loss as they maintain the optimal performance. The computational costs of our proposed techniques are analyzed in detail and are compared with the existing solutions that are known to have the lowest complexity. It is shown that through application of our transceiver structure a substantial amount of computational complexity reduction can be achieved.

Cosmogenic neutrino fluxes under the effect of active-sterile secret interactions
Creators: name: Fiorillo, Damiano Francesco Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We study the observable effects of a secret active-sterile interactions, mediated by a pseudoscalar, on the expected flux of cosmogenic neutrinos. The results show that for masses of sterile neutrinos and pseudoscalars of hundreds MeV, necessary to evade cosmological, astrophysical and elementary particle constraints, the presence of such new interactions can significantly change the energy spectrum of cosmogenic neutrinos at Earth in the energy range from PeV to ZeV. Interestingly, the distortion of the spectrum results to be detectable at GRAND apparatus if the scalar mediator mass is around 250 MeV and the UHECRs are dominated by the proton component. Larger mediator masses or a chemical composition of UHECRs dominated by heavier nuclei would require much larger cosmic rays apparatus which might be available in future.

Our dipolar molecules are formed in weakly bound Feshbach molecular states from a sample of strongly magnetic bosonic erbium atoms. We show that the ultracold magnetic molecules can carry very large dipole moments and we demonstrate how to create and characterize them, and how to change their orientation. Finally, we confirm that the relaxation rates of molecules in a quasi-two dimensional geometry can be reduced by using the anisotropy of the dipole-dipole interaction and that this reduction follows a universal dipolar behavior.

description: Exclusive licensing with an underlay is an appropriate paradigm for TV and other
broadcast applications. Although further research is required on the viability of
the more sophisticated forms of opportunistic access to insure the protection of
TV signals, there are ways that a secondary device could safely use a broadcast
band today. Thus, the FCC could move incrementally forward, allowing the
underlay with sharing techniques that are known to be safe. This submission also
suggests that the FCC consider certifying radio traffic signals as a viable
approach. Underlay applications should also be reconsidered. We are more likely
to see wireless last-mile connections than Wifi-like applications emerge in a
broadcast underlay.
Ion monitoring within the KATRIN experiment

Year: 2020

description: The KATRIN (KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino) experiment aims to measure the effective neutrino mass with an unprecedented design sensitivity of 0.2 eV at the 90% confidence level by measuring the energy of the electron that is produced in tritium beta decay. Magnetic fields guide charged particles through the energy-analyzing retarding spectrometers towards the detector. In this process, ions produced from the decay act as a background source as they further ionize residual gas and produce secondary electrons. Ion-blocking mechanisms are implemented in the source and transport section for which we found preferred settings and neutralization times. We monitor the small ion flux in the spectrometers by the current that they make by striking electrodes along the beamline and by electron generation by ion-impact in the spectrometer. We will present results from commissioning tests as well as the performance during our first neutrino mass measurement campaigns.

description: India's nuclear power program is based on indigenous materials and
technology, with the potential for providing energy security for many centuries.
This paper examines the technical validity of this plan, specifically the role of
breeder reactors for extending the domestic uranium supplies. Our study shows
breeding is unlikely to occur at anywhere near the rates envisioned, leading to a
slow growth of fast breeder reactors. In addition, domestic uranium reserves restrict
growth of Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs), which are likely to be the
main contributors to nuclear capacity in the short-term. The Th-U233 cycle in fast
breeders does not appear attractive, and, for the U238-Pu cycle, only metallic fuel
offers hope of rapid increase in available fissile material. To increase the share of
nuclear power in the coming decades, India should consider the construction of a
number of large thermal reactors based on indigenous and imported uranium.
T2K's MaCh3 Oscillation Analysis
Creators: name: Wood, Kevin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The T2K long-baseline neutrino experiment has three independent analyses that aim to extract neutrino oscillation parameters from the experiment's near- and far-detector data. These analyses have recently been updated to include both significant improvements to the neutrino flux and interaction models as well as 24% more neutrino-mode data. While each analysis fits the same data to the same model, they differ in their statistical and technical approaches. One of these analyses, MaCh3, is unique in its application of a Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to conduct a Bayesian fit of the model to the data. This poster will describe T2K's oscillation analysis broadly as well as technical aspects of the MaCh3 analysis.

description: Metallosupramolecular hosts of nanoscopic dimensions, which are able to serve as selective receptors and catalysts, are usually composed of only one type of organic ligand, restricting diversity in terms of cavity shape and functional group decoration. We report a series of heteroleptic [Pd2A2B2] coordination cages that self-assemble from a library of shape complementary bis-monodentate ligands in a non-statistical fashion. Ligands A feature an inward pointing NH function, able to engage in hydrogen bonding and amenable to being functionalized with amide and alkyl substituents. Ligands B comprise tricyclic aromatic backbones of different shape and electronic situation. The obtained heteroleptic coordination cages were investigated for their ability to bind phosphate diesters as guests. All-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in explicit solvent were conducted to understand the mechanistic relationships behind the experimentally determined guest affinities.

description: This paper investigates the results of competition between two profit-seeking telecommunications carriers, as might occur when cable TV providers compete with local exchange carriers. Each firm has a fixed capacity that it can use to offer two different services, such as telephony or video. We explore whether an equilibrium exists at which no carrier has any incentive to change its prices and outputs. For arbitrary services and demand, we show that an equilibrium may not exist, or that multiple equilibria may exist which means non-market forces such as regulation and entry strategy might determine the final outcome of competition. Furthermore, it is shown that a firm may not choose to compete in the market for one of the services, and thus, the lack of market share does not imply a barrier to entry. However, we also show that these confounding phenomena are less likely to occur with the services that will probably be offered first on commercial integrated-services networks, like telephony, pay-per-view movies, and email.
Search for Long-Lived Heavy Neutrinos at the LHC with a VBF Trigger
Creators: name: Jones-Pérez, Joel
name: Alvarez, Jose David Ruiz
name: Joaquin Masias
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The charged current production of long-lived heavy neutrinos at the LHC can use a prompt charged lepton for triggering the measurement of the process. However, in order to fully characterize the heavy neutrino interactions, it is necessary to also probe Higgs or $Z$ mediated neutral current production. In this case the charged lepton is not available, so other means of triggering are required. In this work, we explore the possibility of using a vector boson fusion trigger in the context of a GeV-scale Type I Seesaw model. We consider a minimal model, where both Higgs and $Z$-mediated contributions produce one heavy neutrino, as well as an extended model where the Higgs can decay into two heavy ones. Both scenarios are tested through displaced dilepton and displaced multitrack jet searches.
Competing Orders and Anomalies

description: A conservation law is one of the most fundamental properties in nature, but a certain class of conservation "laws"' could be spoiled by intrinsic quantum mechanical effects, so-called quantum anomalies. Profound properties of the anomalies have deepened our understanding in quantum many body systems. Here, we investigate quantum anomaly effects in quantum phase transitions between competing orders and striking consequences of their presence. We explicitly calculate topological nature of anomalies of non-linear sigma models (NLSMs) with the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) terms. The non-perturbative nature is directly related with the 't Hooft anomaly matching condition : anomalies are conserved in renormalization group flow. By applying the matching condition, we show massless excitations are enforced by the anomalies in a whole phase diagram in sharp contrast to the case of the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson theory which only has massive excitations in symmetric phases. Furthermore, we find non-perturbative criteria to characterize quantum phase transitions between competing orders. For example, in 4D, we show the two competing order parameter theories, CP(1) and the NLSM with WZW, describe different universality class. Physical realizations and experimental implication of the anomalies are also discussed.

Improvement of Energy Resolution in KamLAND-Zen by Implementing Signal Amplifier for Low-gain PMTs
Creators: name: Kawada, Nanami
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: KamLAND-Zen is a neutrinoless double-beta(0ν2β) decay search experiment using $^{136}$Xe installed in the KamLAND detector . KamLAND mainly consists of 1 kt liquid scintillator and 1,879 photomultiplier tubes(PMTs). One of the dominant background sources in the 0ν2β decay energy region around the Q-value of 2.459 MeV is 2ν2β decay due to the finite energy resolution. Since the only way to separate 0ν2β decay from 2ν2β decay is energy information, the energy resolution is important in the high sensitive search. However, the number of unused PMTs is increasing due to the decreasing gains. It makes the energy resolutoin of KamLAND worse. To recover the energy resolution, the signal amplifiers for such "low-gain PMTs" were developed and installed. I will report the recovery of the PMT performance and the improvement of the detector energy resolution by the signal amplifiers.

description: This quantitative survey research study examined access to technology, basic computer operations skills, basic software skills, and basic electronic communication skills of California community college noncredit adult ESL learners and their relationship to online course enrollment and course completion. Brofenbrenner’s ecological theory was used to demonstrate the interrelationships between individuals, their traits, and context in online course enrollment and course completion in community college noncredit ESL. The results from this study indicate that technology access and basic electronic communication skills significantly predict higher probability of online course enrollment while basic computer operational skills predict lower probability of online course enrollment. Technology access emerged as a significant predictor for in-person ESL course completion. No predictors were identified for online ESL course completion. Another important finding from this study was that students were more likely to successfully complete ESL class if they take them online in comparison to taking them in person. Technological access and skills are assets for students to successfully participate in distance education. These results highlight the impact digital divides have on underrepresented student populations. Recommendations for equitable learning in online environments call for a focus on technology access and digital literacy to establish just, equitable, and inclusive education in the online environment.

description: The identification, or "tagging", of the barium-136 daughter atom that results from double beta decay of xenon-136 provides a promising technique for elimination of all backgrounds except 2-neutrino double beta decay in future xenon-136 neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. We have demonstrated that individual Barium atoms can be imaged and counted in two matrix sites in solid xenon. We report new progress towards single Ba+ imaging in its one favored matrix site. The Ba tagging scheme in development utilizes a cryogenic probe to trap the barium-136 daughter atom in solid xenon and extract it from a liquid xenon time projection chamber, such as nEXO. The barium atom is then tagged via fluorescence imaging. An important feature of the method is that any residual Ba atoms on the probe surface do not create an observable signal, only those captured in the solid xenon.

description: This article aims to optimise energy use and consumption by integrating Lean Six Sigma methodology with the ISO 50001 energy management system standard in an Irish dairy plant operation. Design/methodology/approach – This work utilised Lean Six Sigma methodology to identify methods to measure and optimise energy consumption. The authors use a single descriptive case study in an Irish dairy as the methodology to explain how DMAIC was applied to reduce energy consumption.Findings – The replacement of heavy oil with liquid natural gas in combination with the new design of steam boilers led to a CO2 footprint reduction of almost 50%. Practical implications – A further longitudinal study would be useful to measure and monitor the energy management system progress and carry out more casestudies on LSS integration with energy management systems across the dairy industry. Originality/value – The novelty of this study is the application of LSS in the dairy sector as an enabler of a greater energy-efficient facility, as well as the testing of the DMAIC approach to meet a key objective for ISO 50001 accreditation

Within the COOPERaTE project a neighbourhood information model (NIM) has been developed to address interoperability and allow for various kinds of data to be stored and exchanged. The implementation of the NIM follows a meta model based approach, allowing for runtime extension and for easily integrating heterogeneous data models via a mapping DSL and code generation of adaptation components.

Background rejection with neural network for KamLAND-Zen
Creators: name: Atsuto Takeuchi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: KamLAND-Zen is a neutrinoless double beta decay $(0\nu\beta\beta)$ search experiment using $^{136}$Xe. Taking advantages of the low-background environment of KamLAND, we realize the most sensitive $0\nu\beta\beta$ search. While $0\nu\beta\beta$ is a pure $\beta$ event, the backgrounds such as $^{214}$Bi and spallation products emit $\gamma$-rays. Therefore, particle identification(PID) is effective to improve the sensitivity. In this study, we develop a PID method with a neural network focusing on difference of scintillation timing property between $\beta$ and $\gamma$. It rejects gamma backgrounds based on hit-timing spectrum of PMTs. We applied the method to hit-timing spectrum of MC and data of KamLAND-Zen400 Phase1, where $^{110m}$Ag (gamma event) was the most dominant background. We found that this method could reject 60% of gamma backgrounds and had a potential of ~10% improvement of its limit.

description: The introduction of right-handed chirality partners for neutrinos allows the calculation of deviations in the effective number of degrees of freedom in the early universe. The presence of these particles can be useful when proposing dark matter candidates. Moreover, the introduction of a new neutral interaction could explain the mechanism of thermalization of these new particles, while inducing a chiral anomaly free theory. We motivate a leptophilic to the $\mu$ and $\tau$ flavors Z' model with an even number of right-handed neutrinos; providing a useful and compatible model both in particle physics and cosmology. We study the perturbative effects of this model in the CMB spectrum, showing that deviations from the $\Lambda{CDM}$ model are most important in the small-angle region. We also verify the consistency of this model in different beam dump experiments analyzing the production sensitivity for Z' boson and sterile neutrinos.

description: Applying mineral phosphorus (P) fertilizers introduces a considerable input of the toxic heavy metal cadmium (Cd) into arable soils. This study investigates the fate of P fertilizer derived Cd (Cddff) in soil-wheat systems using a novel combination of enriched stable Cd isotope mass balances, sequential extractions, and Bayesian isotope mixing models. We applied an enriched 111Cd labeled mineral P fertilizer to arable soils from two long-term field trials with distinct soil properties (a strongly acidic pH and a neutral pH) and distinct past mineral P fertilizer application rates. We then cultivated wheat in a pot trial on these two soils. In the neutral soil, Cd concentrations in the soil and the wheat increased with increasing past mineral P fertilizer application rates. This was not the case in the strongly acidic soil. Less than 2.3% of freshly applied Cddff was taken up by the whole wheat plant. Most of the Cddff remained in the soil and was predominantly (>95% of freshly applied Cddff) partitioned into the easily mobilizable acetic acid soluble fraction (F1) and the potentially mobile reducible fraction (F2). Soil pH was the determining factor for the partitioning of Cddff into F1, as revealed through a recovery of about 40% of freshly applied Cddff in F1 in the neutral pH soil compared with about 60% in the strongly acidic soil. Isotope mixing models showed that F1 was the predominant source of Cd for wheat on both soils and that it contributed to over 80% of the Cd that was taken up by wheat. By tracing the fate of Cddff in entire soil-plant systems using different isotope source tracing approaches, we show that the majority of Cddff remains mobilizable and is potentially plant available in the subsequent crop cycle.

description: We have observed thermal gating, i.e. electrostatic gating induced by hot electrons. The effect occurs in a device consisting of two capacitively coupled quantum dots. The double dot system is coupled to a hot electron reservoir on one side (QD1), whilst the conductance of the second dot (QD2) is monitored. When a bias across QD2 is applied we observe a current which is strongly dependent on the temperature of the heat reservoir. This current can be either enhanced or suppressed, depending on the relative energetic alignment of the QD levels. Thus, the system can be used to control a charge current by hot electrons.

description: Carbon Dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is an option for reducing atmospheric emissions of CO2 from human activities.  CCS involves the use of technology to first collect and concentrate the CO2 produced at industrial and energy related sources, transport it to a suitable storage location, and then store it away from the atmosphere for a long period of time.  The IPCC Special Report asesses the current state of knowledge regarding the technical, scientific, environmental, economic, and societal dimensions of CCS.
Multi-Platform Generative Development of Component & Connector Systems using Model and Code Libraries

description: Component-based software engineering aims to reduce software development effort by reusing established components as building blocks of complex systems. Defining components in general-purpose programming languages restricts their reuse to platforms supporting these languages and complicates component composition with implementation details. The vision of model-driven engineering is to reduce the gap between developer intention and implementation details by lifting abstract models to primary development artifacts and systematically transforming these into executable systems. For sufficiently complex systems the transformation from abstract models to platform-specific implementations requires augmentation with platform-specific components. We propose a model-driven mechanism to transform platform-independent logical component & connector architectures into platform-specific implementations combining model and code libraries. This mechanism allows to postpone commitment to a specific platform and thus increases reuse of software architectures and components.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Borexino experiment, located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, was built with a primary goal of the low-energy solar neutrino detection. In more than 12 years of data taking, Borexino has demonstrated the unprecedentedly high sensitivity towards solar neutrinos from the complete pp-chain, dominant process in the Sun fusion. After a number of developments in both hardware and software, Borexino is now ready to tackle the measurement of neutrinos produced in a subdominant Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) cycle mechanism. One of the key steps of the analysis is the performance of spectral fit to disentangle neutrino signals from backgrounds in the detector. All the important aspects of the performed spectral fits are explained in the poster.

description: Abstract: "This paper proposes an organization for a genetic design system (GDS) that is derived from two sources: (1) the search paradigm in computer-aided design, (2) the structure of natural evolution. Both sources are presented in an abstract form that exposes their mechanism. The components of the search mechanism are related to those of natural evolution, and a system design based on this correspondence is advanced. A critical discussion of the design and a proposed research program are presented."

Performance of the PMT Mass Testing System for the JUNO Experiment
Creators: name: Sterr, Tobias
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a low background 20 kton liquid scintillator multi-purpose experiment located in Kaiping, Jiangmen, China. Its physics goals include the determination of the neutrino mass ordering as well as the oscillation parameters using reactor neutrinos. JUNO will be instrumented with approximately 20,000 20-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) of two types (dynode and micro-channel plate). These PMTs are tested for their general performance in a PMT testing facility located in Zhongshan, China. A major component of the testing system are the four commercial shipping containers, which are modified and equipped with commercial DAQ (three containers) and final JUNO electronics (one container, currently in installation), featuring 136 channels in total. Two containers (72 channels) are used for the characterization of each PMT. This poster presents the capabilities and performance parameters of the containers as well as exemplary results from the PMT testing.

description: We study the one-loop two point functions of the gauge, scalar and spinor fields for a Horava-Lifshitz-like QED with critical exponent $z=2$. It turns out that, in certain cases, the dynamical restoration of the Lorentz symmetry at low energies can take place. We also analyze the three point vertex function of the gauge and spinor fields and prove that the triangle anomaly identically vanishes in this theory.

Year: 2020

description: We present the *C*ROSS (Cryogenic Rare-event Observatory with Surface Sensitivity) *C*ryogenic *U*nderground (C2U) facility installed at the Laboratorio Subterranéo de Canfranc (Spain). It consists of a low-radioactivity, pulse-tube-cooled dilution refrigerator where scintillating macro-bolometers are run and read out via low-noise room-temperature electronics, to study the neutrino-less double-beta decay of $^{100}\mathrm{Mo}$, $^{130}\mathrm{Te}$ or $^{116}\mathrm{Cd}$. Since the commissioning (mid-2019), we performed three long-living runs (up to 5 months duration), operating several detectors which reported superior performances in terms of stability, running duty-cycle and energy resolutions. The C2U facility is about to be upgraded with a) an extension of the present internal/external shielding, b) the installation of an anti-radon system, c) a muon veto.
Studying neutrinos at the high energy frontier with FASER$\nu$ at the LHC
Creators: name: Akitaka Ariga
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: FASER$\nu$ is a dedicated neutrino detector in the FASER experiment to study high-energy neutrinos from the LHC, which got approved by CERN in December 2019. A 1.2-tonnes emulsion-based detector will be located at 480 m downstream of the ATLAS interaction point. The unique experimental setup allows measuring three-flavor neutrino cross sections at the currently uncharted energy range between 350 GeV and 6 TeV. Furthermore, the channels associated with heavy quark (charm and beauty) production will be studied. FASER$\nu$ will take data in Run 3 of LHC operation (2021-2024), which would yield roughly 1300 $\nu_e$, 20000 $\nu_{\mu}$, and 20 $\nu_{\tau}$ interacting in the detector. The physics motivation, overview of the FASER$\nu$ project and the candidate neutrino events from the 30 kg neutrino detector in the 2018 pilot run (correcting 12.5 $fb^{-1}$ of data) will be reported.

description: We prove that if $F$ is a tangent to the identity diffeomorphism at $0\in\mathbb{C}^2$ and $Γ$ is a formal invariant curve of $F$ then there exists a parabolic curve (attracting or repelling) of $F$ asymptotic to $Γ$. The result is a consequence of a more general one in arbitrary dimension, where we prove the existence of parabolic curves of a tangent to the identity diffeomorphism $F$ at $0\in\mathbb{C}^n$ asymptotic to a given formal invariant curve under some additional conditions, expressed in terms of a reduction of $F$ to a special normal form by means of blow-ups and ramifications along the formal curve.
