Effects of LBNF Neutrino Beam Focusing Uncertainties on DUNE Neutrino Fluxes
Creators: name: Weatherly, Pierce
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters with DUNE require estimates of uncertainties in the neutrino flux. These uncertainties fall into two general categories: those associated with hadron production, and others categorized as so-called focusing effects. The focusing of the LBNF $\nu$-beam is affected by various uncertainties in the position and composition of the beamline components (horns, target, etc), the current or water layer in each horn, the number of protons-on-target, and beam scraping on the baffle. Some of these focusing effects have been studied previously for the DUNE TDR. Updates using the most current beamline geometry, as well as additional focusing uncertainties not previously studied (such as tilts to the horns, the effect of EM-fields the horn necks, near and far detector locations, etc) are presented here. They will be used in DUNE physics studies and in the design of the DUNE near detectors.

description: У статті проаналізовано історичні передумови та сучасні тенденції розвитку правового регулювання благодійної допомоги Збройним Силам України. В ході дослідження розглянуто еволюцію благодійності від її ранніх форм до оформлення її різновидів (форм) в інших законах України. Визначено ключові етапи законодавчого регулювання цієї сфери, з особливим акцентом на період після березня 2014 року у відповідь на збройну агресію Російської Федерації проти України. Охарактеризовано вплив політичних, економічних та соціальних чинників на розвиток благодійництва та його правового забезпечення.

З’ясовано роль державних та недержавних структур у формуванні механізмів збору та розподілу благодійної допомоги. Доведено, що сучасне законодавство України забезпечує необхідні умови для прозорості та ефективності благодійних ініціатив, спрямованих на підтримку Збройних Сил України. Розглянуто основні законодавчі акти, що регулюють цю діяльність, включно зі змінами, що були внесені для реагування на сучасні безпекові потреби. Особливу увагу приділено новітнім законодавчим ініціативам, таким як зміни до Бюджетного кодексу України з 2023 року, які забезпечують звільнення від ПДВ на товари для оборони, сприяючи зниженню фінансового навантаження на бюджет та підвищенню мобілізаційної готовності країни. Відзначено роль волонтерської, гуманітарної та іншої благодійної допомоги, регульованих відповідними законами, як значних компонентів системи національної безпеки і соціального захисту.

Сформовані висновки підкреслюють значення благодійної допомоги як важливого елементу національної безпеки та соціальної стабільності в Україні. Висвітлено, що благодійна допомога є не тільки виразом громадянської солідарності із власними Збройними Силами, а й ефективним інструментом мобілізації ресурсів для задоволення критичних потреб Збройних Сил України. Таким чином, дослідження відкриває нові перспективи для розуміння динаміки та механізмів правового регулювання благодійництва в контексті національної оборони та безпеки.

description: The main focus of this thesis is the data-driven analysis of complex dynamical systems. Although we will consider mainly molecular dynamics and fluid dynamics problems, the presented methods can be applied to arbitrary dynamical systems. In fact, in order to apply these methods, no a priori knowledge about the system is required, only simulation or measurement data. Such data-driven methods got a lot of attention recently due to the availability of large data sets. Gaining insight into the characteristic properties of a system by analyzing such data sets is akin to the metaphorical search for a needle in a haystack. The goal of data-driven methods is to extract relevant information about global properties of the underlying system, whose governing equations might be unknown. Global information can be obtained by analyzing the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of transfer operators associated with the system.

description: In view of a possible application as a charge-particle track readout for an Active Target Time Projection Chamber (AT-TPC), the operating properties of THick Gaseous Electron Multipliers (THGEM) in pure low-pressure Helium were investigated. This paper includes the effective gain dependence on pressure for different detector configurations (single-, double-, triple-cascade setup), long-term gain stability and energy resolution from tracks of 5.5 MeV alpha particles. Stable operational conditions and maximum detector gains of 10^4-10^7 have been achieved in pure Helium at pressure ranging from 100 torr up to 760 torr. Energy resolution of 6.65% (FWHM) for 690 keV of energy deposited by 5.5 MeV alpha particles at 350 torr was measured. The expected energy resolution for the full track is around 2.4% (FWHM). These results, together with the robustness of THGEM electrodes against spark damage, make THGEM structures highly competitive compared to other technologies considered for TPC applications in an active target operating with pure noble gases, requiring a high dynamic range and a wide operating pressure range down to few hundred torr.

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation results from NOvA in neutrino and antineutrino modes
Creators: name: Kolupaeva, Liudmila
name: Warburton, Karl
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino experiment primarily studying neutrino oscillations in the NuMI beam from Fermi National Laboratory, USA. It consists of two functionally identical, finely granulated detectors which are separated by 809 km and situated 14.6 mrad off the NuMI beam axis. By measuring the transition probabilities P($\nu_\mu \rightarrow \nu_e$) and P($\nu_\mu \rightarrow \nu_\mu$), along with their anti-neutrino equivalents, NOvA is able to probe the following parameters: $\Delta m^2_{32}$, the mixing angle $\theta_{23}$, the CP violating phase $\delta_{CP}$ and the neutrino mass hierarchy. In this poster the latest NOvA 3-flavor oscillation results will be discussed. This analysis builds on previous results, with a new simulation, updated reconstruction algorithms, and roughly 50% more neutrino data. Intermediate steps in the analysis such as signal and background predictions and NOvA's future projected sensitivities will also be presented.

description: With the advances in information technology (IT) criminals are using cyberspace to commit numerous cyber crimes. Cyber infrastructures are highly vulnerable to intrusions and other threats. Physical devices and human intervention are not sufficient for monitoring and protection of these infrastructures; hence, there is a need for more sophisticated cyber defense systems that need to be flexible, adaptable and robust, and able to detect a wide variety of threats and make intelligent real-time decisions. Numerous bio-inspired computing methods of Artificial Intelligence have been increasingly playing an important role in cyber crime detection and prevention. The purpose of this study is to present advances made so far in the field of applying AI techniques for combating cyber crimes, to demonstrate how these techniques can be an effective tool for detection and prevention of cyber attacks, as well as to give the scope for future work.

description: A.V. Derbin for the Borexino collaboration The results of a low-energy neutrino search using the Borexino detector in coincidence with gamma-ray bursts (GRB), solar flares (SF) and gravitational wave (GW) events are presented. The correlated events with energies greater than 0.25 (1.0) MeV were looked for within a various time windows centered around the GRB, SF or GW detection time. As a result, we have obtained the best current upper limits on all flavor neutrino fluences associated with these astrophysical sources for neutrino energy below 5-7 MeV.

description: We analyze both the s- and p-wave collision induced frequency shifts and propose a over-$π$ pulse scheme to cancel the shifts in optical lattice clocks interrogated by a Rabi pulse. The collisional frequency shifts are analytically solved as a function of the pulse area and the inhomogeneity of the Rabi frequencies. Experimentally measured collisional frequency shifts in an Yb optical lattice clock are in good agreement with the analytical calculations. Based on our analysis, the over-$π$ pulse combined with a small inhomogeneity below 0.1 allows a fractional uncertainty on a level of $10^{-18}$ in both Sr and Yb optical lattice clocks by canceling the collisional frequency shift.

description: Light dark-matter ($M\leq20$ MeV) particles freeze out after neutrino decoupling. If the dark-matter particle couples to a neutrino or an electromagnetic plasma, the late time entropy production from dark-matter annihilation can change the neutrino-to-photon temperature ratio, and equally the effective number of neutrinos $N_{eff}$. We study the non-equilibrium effects of dark-matter annihilation on the $N_{eff}$ and the effects by using a thermal equilibrium approximation. Both results are constrained with Planck observations. We demonstrate that the lower bounds of the dark-matter mass and the possibilities of the existence of additional radiation particles are more strongly constrained for dark-matter annihilation process in non-equilibrium.

description: The ability to acquire large-scale recordings of neuronal activity in awake and unrestrained animals poses a major challenge for studying neural coding of animal behavior. We present a new instrument capable of recording intracellular calcium transients from every neuron in the head of a freely behaving C. elegans with cellular resolution while simultaneously recording the animal's position, posture and locomotion. We employ spinning-disk confocal microscopy to capture 3D volumetric fluorescent images of neurons expressing the calcium indicator GCaMP6s at 5 head-volumes per second. Two cameras simultaneously monitor the animal's position and orientation. Custom software tracks the 3D position of the animal's head in real-time and adjusts a motorized stage to keep it within the field of view as the animal roams freely. We observe calcium transients from 78 neurons and correlate this activity with the animal's behavior. Across worms, multiple neurons show significant correlations with modes of behavior corresponding to forward, backward, and turning locomotion. By comparing the 3D positions of these neurons with a known atlas, our results are consistent with previous single-neuron studies and demonstrate the existence of new candidate neurons for behavioral circuits.

Constraining ``Dirt'' Backgrounds for the MicroBooNE Single Photon Low Energy Excess Search
Creators: name: Lin, Keng
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: MicroBooNE, a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber with an active volume of 85 metric tons, is located on the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab and has been collecting data since fall 2015. One of its primary physics goals is to investigate the low-energy excess (LEE) of events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment in their measurement of charged current quasi-elastic-like electron neutrino ($\nu_e$ CCQE) events. ``Dirt'' backgrounds are beam-induced neutrino events originating outside the detector, producing final states inside the active detector volume mimicking the $\nu_e$ CCQE signature, and are non-negligible in the MiniBooNE search. The MicroBooNE search for anomalous single photon production in neutral current neutrino interactions, as a possible LEE interpretation, requires a good understanding of dirt backgrounds due to MicroBooNE's higher surface-to-volume ratio than MiniBooNE. This poster presents an analysis developed to select a dirt-enhanced sample of events in MicroBooNE, demonstrating good data to Monte Carlo agreement.

Benchmarking New Hardware For Machine Learning In Particle Physics
Creators: name: Vergani, Stefano
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The popularity of Deep Learning (DL) has grown exponentially in all scientific fields, included particle physics. The amount of data and its complexity has grown as well, and the computing power required to perform inference can nowadays hardly be managed. Central Processing Units (CPUs) are affordable but their ability to run Artificial Intelligence (AI) is very limited. In recent years, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been used with interesting results but they expensive and require a lot of power. Recently, Google has produced the Edge Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) made explicitly to perform inference. It is cheap, it consumes less power, and it comes with portable size. A generic Liquid Argon Time-Projection Chamber (LArTPC) has been simulated and images produced by fictitious neutrino interactions have been used to benchmark the Edge TPU. Its performance running different popular DL algorithms has been tested and compared with CPUs and GPUs.
Higgs, supersymmetry and dark matter after Run I of the LHC

description: Two major problems call for an extension of the Standard Model (SM): the hierarchy problem in the Higgs sector and the dark matter in the Universe. The discovery of a Higgs boson with mass of about 125 GeV was clearly the most significant piece of news from CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In addition to representing the ultimate triumph of the SM, it shed new light on the hierarchy problem and opened up new ways of probing new physics. The various measurements performed at Run I of the LHC constrain the Higgs couplings to SM particles as well as invisible and undetected decays. In this thesis, the impact of the LHC Higgs results on various new physics scenarios is assessed, carefully taking into account uncertainties and correlations between them. Generic modifications of the Higgs coupling strengths, possibly arising from extended Higgs sectors or higher-dimensional operators, are considered. Furthermore, specific new physics models are tested. This includes, in particular, the phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. While a Higgs boson has been found, no sign of beyond the SM physics was observed at Run I of the LHC in spite of the large number of searches performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. The implications of the negative results obtained in these searches constitute another important part of this thesis. First, supersymmetric models with a dark matter candidate are investigated in light of the negative searches for supersymmetry at the LHC using a so-called "simplified model" approach. Second, tools using simulated events to constrain any new physics scenario from the LHC results are presented. Moreover, during this thesis the selection criteria of several beyond the SM analyses have been reimplemented in the MadAnalysis 5 framework and made available in a public database.

description: We study properties of multiple random walks on a graph under various assumptions of interaction between the particles. To give precise results, we make the analysis for random regular graphs.
The cover time of a random walk on a random r-regular graph was studied in [6], where it was shown with high probability (whp), that for r ≥ 3 the cover time is asymptotic to θrn ln n, where θr = (r − 1)/(r − 2).
In this paper we prove the following (whp) results, arising from the study of multiple random walks on a random regular graph G. For k independent walks on G, the cover time CG(k) is asymptotic to CG/k, where CG is the cover time of a single walk. For most starting positions, the expected number of steps before any of the walks meet is θrn/(k/2). If the walks can communicate when meeting at a vertex, we show that, for most starting positions, the expected time for k walks to broadcast a single piece of information to each other is asymptotic to 2 ln k k θrn, as k, n → ∞.
We also establish properties of walks where there are two types of particles, predator and prey, or where particles interact when they meet at a vertex by coalescing, or by annihilating each other. For example, the expected extinction time of k explosive particles (k even) tends to (2 ln 2)θrn as k → ∞.
The case of n coalescing particles, where one particle is initially located at each vertex, corresponds to a voter model defined as follows: Initially each vertex has a distinct opinion, and at each step each vertex changes its opinion to that of a random neighbour. The expected time for a unique opinion to emerge is the same as the expected time for all the particles to coalesce, which is asymptotic to 2θrn.
Combining results from the predator-prey and multiple random walk models allows us to compare expected detection time of all prey in the following scenarios: both the predator and the prey move randomly, the prey moves randomly and the predators stay fixed, the predators move randomly and the prey stays fixed. In all cases, with k predators and ℓ prey the expected detection time is θrHℓn/k, where Hℓ is the ℓ-th harmonic number.

description: Semiconductor detectors have a wide range of uses for particle physics and synchrotron applications. This thesis concentrates on the simulation, fabrication and characterisation of a new type of detector known as the low gain avalanche detectors (LGAD). The detector’s characteristics are simulated via a full process simulation to obtain the required doping profiles which demonstrate the desired operational characteristics of high breakdown voltage (500V) and a gain of 10 at 200V reverse bias for low energy X-ray detection. The low gain avalanche detectors fabricated by Micron Semiconductor Ltd are presented. The doping profiles of the multiplication junctions were measured with Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and reproduced by simulating the full fabrication process which enabled further development of the manufacturing process. LGADs are interesting for high energy physics experiments due to their good timing performance. The need for such a detector is explained and results for 250um thick LGADs with a gain of 5 manufactured at Micron Semiconductor show comparable results to the other vendors, of 120ps. For low energy X-ray detection it is essential to operate at low noise levels. The aim of the project was to develop LGAD detectors with a highly segmented front side which would be compatible with the Timepix3 chip, which has an array of 256x256 pixels with a pixel pitch of 55um. However, when LGAD pixels are made to these size requirements their gain uniformity and fill factor are extremely degraded. Specific development for small pixel LGAD's was undertaken through simulation and possible structures have been identified to minimize this small pixel effect.

description: We study the properties of the potential overlap between two networks $A,B$ sharing the same set of $N$ nodes (a two-layer network) whose respective degree distributions $p_A(k), p_B(k)$ are given. Defining the overlap coefficient $α$ as the Jaccard index, we derive upper bounds for the minimum and maximum overlap coefficient in terms of $p_A(k)$, $p_B(k)$ and $N$. We also present an algorithm based on cross-rewiring of links to obtain a two-layer network with any prescribed $α$ inside the permitted range. Finally, to illustrate the importance of the overlap for the dynamics of interacting contagious processes, we derive a mean-field model for the spread of an SIS epidemic with awareness against infection over a two-layer network, containing $α$ as a parameter. A simple analytical relationship between $α$ and the basic reproduction number follows. Stochastic simulations are presented to assess the accuracy of the upper bounds of $α$ and the predictions of the mean-field epidemic model.

Charged-current muon-neutrino veto for the inclusive electron-neutrino analysis in MicroBooNE
Creators: name: Yandel, Erin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: One of the main goals for the MicroBooNE detector at Fermilab is to investigate the "low energy excess" (LEE) of electromagnetic events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment. MicroBooNE uses the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beamline as it's neutrino source. Muon neutrinos dominate this beam, with only 0.5% of the composition being electron neutrinos. To achieve the high purity electron neutrino selection needed to understand the nature of the MiniBooNE result, the muon neutrino background must be significantly reduced. This work presents methods to identify and therefore veto charged-current muon neutrino events in MicroBooNE.

description: The proliferation of heterogeneous data sources of semantic knowledge base intensifies the need of an automatic instance matching technique. However, the efficiency of instance matching is often influenced by the weight of a property associated to instances. Automatic weight generation is a non-trivial, however an important task in instance matching technique. Therefore, identifying an appropriate metric for generating weight for a property automatically is nevertheless a formidable task. In this paper, we investigate an approach of generating weights automatically by considering hypotheses: (1) the weight of a property is directly proportional to the ratio of the number of its distinct values to the number of instances contain the property, and (2) the weight is also proportional to the ratio of the number of distinct values of a property to the number of instances in a training dataset. The basic intuition behind the use of our approach is the classical theory of information content that infrequent words are more informative than frequent ones. Our mathematical model derives a metric for generating property weights automatically, which is applied in instance matching system to produce re-conciliated instances efficiently. Our experiments and evaluations show the effectiveness of our proposed metric of automatic weight generation for properties in an instance matching technique.

Neutrino Elastic-scattering Observation with NaI(Tl)(NEON)
Creators: name: Jaejin Choi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: NEON aims an observation of a coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) using reactor anti-electron neutrino with NaI(Tl) crystal detectors at Hanbit nuclear power plant in Yeonggwang, South Korea. Even though CEvNS was observed by COHERENT collaboration in 2017 with the spallation neutron source, the same process with the reactor neutrino has not yet been observed. The NEON pilot detector consists of a 10 kg NaI(Tl) target mass which will be installed 24 meters from the reactor core. CEvNS observation probability relies on detector performance such as background level and low-energy threshold. The background level of approximately 7 counts/day/kg/keV and below 0.5 keV energy threshold are already achieved. Further analysis to optimize the low energy threshold is ongoing. In this poster, the overview of the NEON experiment as well as the measured performance of the NaI(Tl) detector will be described.

description: This study analyses the factors that affect the purchase of environmentally-friendly rice for school meals, especially focusing on Goseong's Life Environment Rice. To obtain the data, 50 primary, middle and high schools in Gyeongsangnam-do were chosen for survey. A cross frequency analysis is conducted to identify the key explanatory variables that decide the purchase of environmentally-friendly rice for school meals. Also, a logit model is used to find a model that fits the survey data and to calculate marginal effects of several key variables. The study finds that key factors that affect the purchase of environmentally-friendly rice for school meals are the GAP mark, geographical environment, grade, and marketing channel. This study can be used for Goseong-gun to set up a plan to increase the demand for Goseong's Life Environment Rice.

description: Adequate knowledge of climate change and correct perception of the associated risks by the population are crucial factors for the effectiveness of climate policies.


We analyze this topic by collecting information on the degree of current risk perception and its evolution over the last ten years among citizens living in five municipalities in an area of Abruzzo, a central Italian region. In addition, we gather information on the willingness of citizens to stipulate public insurance against damages caused by extreme events.


The paper offers a descriptive analysis of the association between outcomes and individual/household characteristics. We find the degree of risk perception is relatively high, as around 2/3 of respondents believe the current risk of suffering damage from extreme events related to climate change is high or very high. More than 90% also believe that this risk has increased in the last ten years. The perception, however, is heterogeneous across population subgroups. Finally, citizens’ inclination toward public insurance covering damage from extreme events is also high.


We also provide a quantitative analysis of the factors affecting the current risk perception by adopting a probit model. The related results essentially confirm evidence from the qualitative analysis and stress, in line with previous studies, the importance of previous damages as a predictor of risk perception.

description: We observe electro-hydrodynamically driven turbulent flows at low Reynolds numbers in a two-fluid emulsion consisting of micron-scale droplets. In the presence of electric fields, the droplets produce interacting hydrodynamic flows which result in a dynamical organization at a spatial scale much larger than the size of the individual droplets. We characterize the dynamics associated with these structures by both video imaging and a simultaneous, in situ, measurement of the time variation of the bulk Reynolds stress with a rheometer. The results display scale invariance in the energy spectra in both space and time.
