description: We present the first results of a new global next-to-leading order analysis of spin-dependent parton distribution functions from the most recent world data on inclusive polarized deep-inelastic scattering, focusing in particular on the large-x and low-Q^2 regions. By directly fitting polarization asymmetries we eliminate biases introduced by using polarized structure function data extracted under nonuniform assumptions for the unpolarized structure functions. For analysis of the large-x data we implement nuclear smearing corrections for deuterium and 3He nuclei, and systematically include target mass and higher twist corrections to the g_1 and g_2 structure functions at low Q^2. We also explore the effects of Q^2 and W^2 cuts in the data sets, and the potential impact of future data on the behavior of the spin-dependent parton distributions at intermediate and large x.

description: Non-axisymmetries in the Galactic potential (spiral arms and bar) induce kinematic groups such as the Hercules stream. Assuming that Hercules is caused by the effects of the Outer Lindblad Resonance of the Galactic bar, we model analytically its properties as a function of position in the Galaxy and its dependence on the bar's pattern speed and orientation. Using data from the RAVE survey we find that the azimuthal velocity of the Hercules structure decreases as a function of Galactocentric radius, in a manner consistent with our analytical model. This allows us to obtain new estimates of the parameters of the Milky Way's bar. The combined likelihood function of the bar's pattern speed and angle has its maximum for a pattern speed of $Ω_b=(1.89 \pm 0.08) \times Ω_0$ where $Ω_0$ is the local circular frequency. Assuming a Solar radius of 8.05 kpc and a local circular velocity of 238 km/s, this corresponds to $Ω_b=56\pm 2$ km/s/kpc. On the other hand, the bar's orientation $ϕ_b$ cannot be constrained with the available data. In fact, the likelihood function shows that a tight correlation exists between the pattern speed and the orientation, implying that a better description of our best fit results is given by the linear relation $Ω_b/Ω_0=1.91 + 0.0044[ϕ_b(°)-48]$, with standard deviation of 0.02. For example, for an angle of $ϕ_b=30°$ the pattern speed is $54.0\pm0.5$ km/s/kpc. These results are not very sensitive to the other Galactic parameters such as the circular velocity curve or the peculiar motion of the Sun, and are robust to biases in distance.

description: My practice-led project explores the indexical lamination of memory, history, narrative and reality afforded by photography imbued with the illusion of spatial dimensionality. This thesis investigates the notion that far from freezing a ‘slice of time’ photography reanimates perception through sensation rendering duration flexible and elastic. Using the liminal landscape of South Australia as time’s stage, I contend that time is ‘collapsible’, constantly unfolding and repeating. In embracing this temporal flow, I submit that photomedia becomes our most compelling connection to time itself, as lived experience. It is this connection that can act as an ethical agent of change for the betterment of the landscape in which we live. The project includes work created in South Australia, the ACT, the United States and the Outer Hebrides and Shetland Islands of Scotland. It includes artefacts photographed in the Adelaide Civic Collection, The South Australian Museum and the National Museum of Australia.
Explaining and evaluating Alasdair MacIntyre's notion of tradition-constituted rationalities and justices

subject: Ethics Cross-cultural studies

description: This thesis is a study on the notion of practical rationality. Its main objective is to explore whether there is a shared way of reasoning in practical and moral issues between different cultures and traditions. For this purpose, I chose MacIntyre's notion of tradition-constituted and tradition-constitutive rationality and justice (constitution thesis) as the key topic of the thesis, which holds there is no rationality and justice independent of a tradition. Rationality here is mainly practical rationality a most important outcome of which is the idea of justice. We can understand MacIntyre's constitution thesis in contrast to Cartesian epistemology and Kant's moral philosophy as they are understood by him. The constitution thesis runs counter to Cartesian epistemology by its anti-epistemological tendencies; that is to say, we do not and cannot start our substantial intellectual enquiries based on some indubitable ideas whose evidence can be shown to any rational human being. The constitution thesis runs also counter to Kantian moral philosophy by its opposition to providing a universalistic rule-based account of morality. The constitution thesis in this sense is related to virtue-ethics which emphasizes the importance of moral education and following moral masters for knowing moral duties. I will argue that we can have an account of morality that does not depend on the notion of the final good; rather, it assumes basic facts about human beings, which include their basic and intellectual needs the failure to satisfy which damages their normal and desirable functioning. The mark of real needs is that their satisfaction sustains and improves our normal and desirable functioning, and this point lets us distinguish real needs from our acquired desires and expectations. This would be against MacIntyre's claim that the justification of morality requires the notion of the human good.

description: Aqueous colloidal dispersions of silica particles become anisotropic when they are dried through evaporation. This anisotropy is generated by a uniaxial strain of the liquid dispersions as they are compressed by the flow of water toward a solidification front. Part of the strain produced by the compression is relaxed, and part of it is stored and transferred to the solid. This stored elastic strain has consequences for the properties of the solid, where it may facilitate the growth of shear bands, and generate birefringence.

description: Recently, a new approach to large N gauge theories, based on a generalization of the concept of D-brane probes to any gauge field theory, was proposed. In the present note, we compute the probe action in the one matrix model with a quartic potential. This allows to illustrate several non-trivial aspects of the construction in an exactly solvable set-up. One of our main goal is to test the bare bubble approximation. The approximate free energy found in this approximation, which can be derived from a back-of-an-envelope calculation, matches the exact result for all values of the 't Hooft coupling with a surprising accuracy. Another goal is to illustrate the remarkable properties of the equivariant partial gauge-fixing procedure, which is at the heart of the formalism. For this we use a general xi-gauge to compute the brane action. The action depends on xi in a very non-trivial way, yet we show explicitly that its critical value does not and coincide with twice the free energy, as required by general consistency. This is made possible by a phenomenon of ghost condensation and the spontaneous breaking of the equivariant BRST symmetry.

Non-Traditional Security, International Police Cooperation and the Royal Thai Police

Subjects: non-traditional security

international police cooperation

description: In recent years, the Royal Thai Police (RTP) has appeared to be more comfortable cooperating with China than with the United States. This phenomenon is evident in several non-traditional security (NTS) incidents involving the RTP’s cooperation, such as the 2011 Mekong 10.5 case, the 2012 terrorist attacks and the recent 2015 Erawan Shrine explosion in Bangkok. These incidents involved police cooperation against drug trafficking, terrorism and other serious crimes. Previous studies explain the RTP approach to cooperation in Thailand by examining driving factors such as great power influences, foreign relations and the RTP’s incompetence in police cooperation. However, no study has addressed the way Thailand and the RTP address NTS challenges and cooperate with foreign counterparts in meeting such challenges. This thesis explains the implications of the NTS agenda for the RTP’s approach to international police cooperation, and where it is inconsistent with the approaches of foreign counterparts. This research asks the question, “How does Thailand’s NTS agenda affect the RTP’s cooperation with foreign counterparts?”, which helps us to understand why the RTP had such inconsistent cooperative behaviour with foreign counterparts, particularly on NTS matters. The NTS agenda framework explains the RTP’s approach to cooperation. This study employs a wide range of primary and secondary sources to explain the existence and implementation of NTS governance arrangements. When studying how NTS challenges are managed in Thailand, this study argues that Thailand’s NTS agenda significantly influences the RTP’s approach to cooperation, generating a lack of consistency—either through eagerness or hesitation—in the RTP’s approach to cooperative behaviour. This inconsistency is a convenient response that happens to suit Thailand’s domestic preferences. The term “NTS” is increasingly used as a part of the political discourse, but gradually it has become a part of the security agenda, accepted by the international community. This security agenda influences Thailand and the RTP to manage both domestic and international security challenges, particularly, in light of the new security environment that emerged after the end of the Cold War era.

description: We apply our recently developed code to search for resonance features in the Planck CMB temperature data. We search both for log spaced oscillations or linear spaced oscillations and compare our findings with results of our WMAP9 analysis and the Planck team analysis. While there are hints of log spaced resonant features present in the WMAP9 data, the significance of these features weaken with more data. With more accurate small scale measurements, we also find that the best fit frequency has shifted and the amplitude has been reduced. We confirm the presence of a several low frequency peaks, earlier identified by the Planck team, but with a better improvement of fit (delta chi^2 ~ 12). We further investigate this improvement by allowing the lensing potential to vary as well, showing mild correlation between the amplitude of the oscillations and the lensing amplitude. We find that the improvement of the fit increases even more (delta chi^2 ~ 14) for the low frequencies that modify the spectrum in a way that mimics the lensing effect. Since these features were not present in the WMAP data, they are primarily due to better measurements of Planck at small angular scales. For linear spaced oscillations we find a maximum delta chi^2 ~ 13 scanning two orders of magnitude in frequency space, and the biggest improvements are at extremely high frequencies. We recover a best fit frequency very close to the one found in WMAP9, which confirms that the fit improvement is driven by low l. Further comparisons with WMAP9 show Planck contains many more features, both for linear and log space oscillations, but with a smaller improvement of fit. We discuss the improvement as a function of the number of modes and study the effect of the 217 GHz map, which appears to drive most of the improvement for log spaced oscillations. We conclude that none of the detected features are statistically significant.

description: Prior to Mabo (No. 2) the legal imaginary of terra nullius enabled the creation of a property system as if the pre-existing land rights and interests of the Aboriginal peoples simply did not exist. Ever since the High Court of Australia’s landmark decision in Mabo v State of Queensland (No. 2) (1992) and the Australian Parliament’s enactment of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) there are two legally recognised and distinct systems of land ownership, use and tenure operating in Australia: one older (over 60,000 years), the other much younger (only 230 years). While Mabo (No. 2) dismissed the convenient legal fiction of terra nullius as the basis for establishing Australia’s sovereignty, the decision set the ground rules for the legal recognition of the pre-existing land rights of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia, which the High Court termed native title rights and interests. Every positive determination of native title is therefore, an affirmation of Aboriginal law and custom and their sovereignty that was present prior to 1788. But Mabo (No. 2) gives rise to several ‘troubling disjuncts’, including the High Court’s ambivalence about fracturing the ‘skeletal principles’ of Australia’s sovereignty and the outright denial of Indigenous peoples’ sovereignty, the Crown’s monopoly power to extinguish native title rights and interests, and their inalienability. The Aboriginal peoples of Australia continue to assert they never ceded their sovereignty, their land was stolen from them without their consent, extinguishment is alien to their law and custom. As such, the Settler state’s assertion of ownership and sovereignty over land has no legitimacy under their law and custom. Aboriginal peoples’ persistent desire is that the two systems of law and custom relating to land be accorded an equal and non-discriminatory status. This is not mere historical or symbolic posturing. They want to use their property rights to engage in the economy on their terms and at their choosing. Their position is supported by various international human rights instruments. This PhD thesis explores the possibilities of supplanting the prevailing orthodoxy with a coherent policy and praxis framework for a mutually respectful coexistence between two culturally distinct forms of land ownership, use and tenure based on parity, mutual respect, reciprocity and justice.
Immunoglobulin isotype switching ceases in germinal centres

Class switch recombination
Germinal centres

description: B cell-derived antibodies are essential to protect against infection and underpin the success of most existing vaccines. Class switch recombination (CSR) is a tightly controlled DNA recombination that replaces the constant region of an antibody for the isotype that can best protect against the invading pathogen. Germinal centres (GCs) are thought to favour immunoglobulin (Ig) diversification through somatic hypermutation (SHM) and CSR at least in part because activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), the enzyme required for both processes, is highly expressed in GC B cells. Nevertheless, CSR also occurs in extrafollicular (EF) responses and can be initiated soon after T cell priming. Here we show that CSR is initiated prior to B cell commitment to follicular or EF differentiation and comparable proportions of switched cells are found at both sites, with little or no enrichment within GCs. Single-cell analysis of germline transcripts (GLTs) showed that CSR is triggered prior to B cell entry into the follicle and rapidly declines as B cells become GC cells. Analysis of the clonal distribution and phylogeny of individual IgM-expressing GC B cells demonstrated that CSR events largely occurred in GC B cell precursors ceasing within the first two days of differentiation into GC B cells and soon after the onset of SHM. This data also demonstrated the existence of IgM-dominated GCs. Mathematical modelling showed that IgM-dominated GCs are unlikely to occur under the assumption of ongoing switching. Lack of ongoing switching in GCs may be crucial to maintain IgM+ memory B cells that can produce adequate protective isotypes upon reinfection with antigenically-related pathogens. The chromosomal breaks required for CSR can also cause pathogenicity, gene insertions and translocations, resulting in the formation of self-reactive BCRs or giving rise to B cell lymphomas. Therefore, understanding the timing and anatomical location in which CSR occurs is a crucial aspect of B cell biology to better comprehend autoimmunity, B-cell derived lymphomas, and eventually improve the design of future vaccines.

description: In multi-stage radiotherapy, a patient is treated in several stages separated by weeks or months. This regimen has been motivated mostly by radiobiological considerations, but also provides an approach to reduce normal tissue dose by exploiting tumor shrinkage. The paper considers the optimal design of multi-stage treatments, motivated by the clinical management of large liver tumors for which normal liver dose constraints prohibit the administration of an ablative radiation dose in a single treatment. We introduce a dynamic tumor model that incorporates three factors: radiation induced cell kill, tumor shrinkage, and tumor cell repopulation. The design of multi-stage radiotherapy is formulated as a mathematical optimization problem in which the total dose to the liver is minimized, subject to delivering the prescribed dose to the tumor. Based on the model, we gain insight into the optimal administration of radiation over time, i.e. the optimal treatment gaps and dose levels. We analyze treatments consisting of two stages in detail. The analysis confirms the intuition that the second stage should be delivered just before the tumor size reaches a minimum and repopulation overcompensates shrinking. Furthermore, it was found that, for a large range of model parameters, approximately one third of the dose should be delivered in the first stage. The projected benefit of multi-stage treatments depends on model assumptions. However, the model predicts large liver dose reductions by more than a factor of two for plausible model parameters. The analysis of the tumor model suggests that substantial reduction in normal tissue dose can be achieved by exploiting tumor shrinkage via an optimal design of multi-stage treatments. This suggests taking a fresh look at multi-stage radiotherapy for selected disease sites where substantial tumor regression translates into reduced target volumes.

Risk-return relationship
Nature of housing markets
Inflation hedging

description: This PhD dissertation, composed of three studies, provides a critical review of the determinants of price changes in the housing market. In the first paper, I address the counterintuitive negative risk-return relationship in the housing market, previously found in the literature. I show that the negative relationship in the US can be resolved by considering the modelling differences between aggregate and cross-sectional conditions in standard asset pricing theory. The result has implications for the application of standard finance theory towards housing markets. In the second paper, I revisit the commonly-held beliefs that the nature of housing markets is mainly local and that local time-invariant amenities are crucial for understanding housing price dynamics. Based on the empirical evidence of the US housing markets, I show that the documented evidence in support of these arguments can be an artefact of sample size in the time series dimension of a panel data analysis. The result provides implications for empirical and theoretical research regarding the assumptions of housing market dynamics. The third paper presents a historical review of the long-run relationship between macroeconomic factors and housing markets from 1871 to 2012. I find that century-long evidence across 10 countries has consistently favoured the role of inflation hedging in residential real estate, yet its significance has decreased in the recent regime of inflation targeting from 1990 to 2012. During the latter period, much of the variation in housing markets is linked not to inflation risk, but rather to changes in real income. The result adds a new dimension to understanding how inflation hedging benefits can change under different momentary environments.
Quench dynamics of a strongly interacting resonant Bose gas

description: We explore the dynamics of a Bose gas following its quench to a strongly interacting regime near a Feshbach resonance. Within a self-consistent Bogoliubov analysis we find that after the initial condensate-quasiparticle Rabi oscillations, at long time scales the gas is characterized by a nonequilibrium steady-state momentum distribution function, with depletion, condensate density and contact that deviate strongly from their corresponding equilibrium values. These are in a qualitative agreement with recent experiments on Rb85 by Makotyn, et al. Our analysis also suggests that for sufficiently deep quenches close to the resonance the nonequilibrium state undergoes a phase transition to a fully depleted state, characterized by a vanishing condensate density.

description: Niccolò Piccinni’s dramma giocoso Il Regno della Luna premiered in 1770, at a time when Europe and the world in general were changing at an almost unprecedented rate. New scientific discoveries, global exploration, colonialism, and interaction with non-European ‘others’, combined with evolving philosophical concepts of epistemology, sociopolitical structures and human emotions culminated in a mid-century reappraisal of future directions for European states. A distinguishing characteristic of societal discourse in latter half of the eighteenth century was that knowledge previously considered beyond dispute became open to question. The libretto of Piccinni’s opera canvasses a broad range of contemporaneous issues in a uniquely confronting manner. Exploiting the trope of an ‘other world’ and ‘other time’ setting, it concerns a visit in the future by Earth people to a fictive Lunar society which has a radically different socio-political structure from that in contemporary Europe. Women have political control through an elected female monarchy, and the society is predicated on a dominant position of women in interpersonal relationships. The Lunar society evinces several contrasts with ‘sacred’ European institutions such as the nuclear family, monogamy and patriarchy. The libretto also engages with polemics on issues such as militarism, unfettered trade, colonialism and the dichotomy between science and mythology. Musically it demonstrates Piccinni’s importance in the development of late eighteenth-century opera. In common with the works of others who sought to reform the genre, Piccinni subverts and experiments with the dramma giocoso conventions of strict correspondence between musical style and social status. With its flexible overall structure and in the varied forms of set pieces, the work aligns with the late eighteenth-century concept that the composer’s primary task was to support the drama by reinforcing meanings immanent in the text. It also engages with changing concepts of human emotion from the Cartesian static model to the associationist model of constant flux. Piccinni’s score provides unusually precise information on expression and articulation. As such, this scholarly modern edition makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of late eighteenth-century operatic performance practice. With its implication of cognitive displacement in time and place, the opera could be interpreted as prototypical science fiction. However, the pre-eminent interpretation of the work is that it is a satire on the constraints which some elements of European society sought to impose on the social and political position of women. In a very real sense it was an opera for ‘the century of women’.

description: It is hard to believe that the Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care has entered its sixth year of publication. In the first issue of the journal, we expressed our hopes that the journal would help us to look at developments in practice, policy, research and training at every level of residential child care. It was also one of our greatest hopes that the journal would help in 'breaking down some of the barriers between practice and research' (Kendrick, 2002, p. 5). This prompted some reflection on the types of articles we have received and published over the years. Has the journal lived up to its promise?

description: Recently, general relations among the quadrupole moment (Q), the moment of inertia (I), and the tidal deformability (Love number) of a neutron star were shown to exist. They are nearly independent of the nuclear matter equation of state and would be of great aid in extracting parameters from observed gravitational-waves and in testing general relativity. These relations, however, do not account for strong magnetic fields. We consider this problem by studying the effect of a strong magnetic field on slowly rotating relativistic neutron stars and show that, for simple magnetic field configurations that are purely poloidal or purely toroidal, the relation between Q and I is again nearly universal. However, different magnetic field geometries lead to different I-Q relations, and, in the case of a more realistic twisted-torus magnetic field configuration, the relation depends significantly on the equation of state, losing its universality. I-Love-Q relations must thus be used with very great care, since universality is lost for stars with long spin periods, i.e. P > 10 s, and strong magnetic fields, i.e. B > 10^12 G.

description: We argue that in large classes of string compactifications with a MSSM-like structure substantial flavor violating SUSY-breaking soft terms are generically induced. We specify to the case of flavor dependent soft-terms in type IIB/F-theory SU(5) unified models, although our results can be easily extended to other settings. The Standard Model (SM) degrees of freedom reside in a local system of 7-branes wrapping a 4-fold S in the extra dimensions. It is known that in the presence of closed string 3-form fluxes SUSY-breaking terms are typically generated. We explore the generation dependence of these soft terms and find that non-universalities arise whenever the flux varies over the 4-fold S. These non-universalities are parametrically suppressed by (M_{GUT}/M_{Pl})^{1/3}. They also arise in the case of varying open string fluxes, in this case parametrically suppressed by α_{GUT}^{1/2}. For a standard unification scheme with M_{GUT} = 10^{16} GeV and α_{\rm GUT} = 1/24 these suppressions are very mild. Although limits from the kaon mass difference Δm_K are easily obeyed for squark masses above the present LHC limits, constraints from the CP-violation parameter ε_K imply squark masses in the multi-TeV region. The constraints from BR(μ\rightarrow eγ) turn out to be the strongest ones, with slepton masses of order ~10 TeV or heavier required to obey the experimental limits. These sfermion masses are consistent with the observed large value m_H ~ 126 GeV of the Higgs mass. We discuss under what conditions such strong limits may be relaxed allowing for SUSY particle production at LHC.

description: This paper summarizes the development of a successful project, LAUE, supported by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and devoted to the development of long focal length (up to 100 m) Laue lenses for hard X--/soft gamma--ray astronomy (80-600 keV). The apparatus is ready and the assembling of a prototype lens petal is ongoing. The great achievement of this project is the use of bent crystals. From measurements obtained on single crystals and from simulations, we have estimated the expected Point Spread Function and thus the sensitivity of a lens made of petals. The expected sensitivity is a few $\times10^{-8}$ photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ keV$^{-1}$. We discuss a number of open astrophysical questions that can settled with such an instrument aboard a free-flying satellite.

description: Current searches for the charged Higgs at the LHC focus only on the $τν$, $cs$, and $tb$ final states. Instead, we consider the process $pp\to Φ\to W^\pm H^\mp \to W^+ W^- A$ where $Φ$ is a heavy neutral Higgs boson, $H^\pm$ is a charged Higgs boson, and $A$ is a light Higgs boson, with mass either below or above the $b\bar{b}$ threshold. The cross-section for this process is typically large when kinematically open since $H^\pm \to W^\pm A$ can be the dominant decay mode of the charged Higgs. The final state we consider has two leptons and missing energy from the doubly leptonic decay of the $W^+ W^-$ and possibly additional jets; it is therefore constrained by existing SM Higgs searches in the $W^+ W^-$ channel. We extract these constraints on the cross-section for this process as a function of the masses of the particles involved. We also apply our results specifically to a type-II two Higgs doublet model with an extra Standard-Model-singlet and obtain new and powerful constraints on $m_{H^\pm}$ and $\tanβ$. We point out that a slightly modified version of this search, with more dedicated cuts, could be used to possibly discover the charged Higgs, either with existing data or in the future.

On the simulation of stochastic processes and noise driven synchronisation models
Creators: name: McLennan-Smith, Timothy
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2019

description: We investigate the impact of noise with heavy tails on sychronisation within coupled systems of oscillators, the most classic case being called the `Kuramoto model'. The initial part of this work focuses on methods of simulation of heavy-tailed stochastic processes that are then implemented in the various synchronisation models discussed throughout the thesis. In particular, we explore the accept-rejection sampling method for stable and tempered stable Levy processes and the Wiener-Hopf Monte-Carlo algorithm for the simulation of the so-called beta-family of Levy processes. The first application of these heavy-tailed stochastic processes in an extension of an adversarial 'Blue vs Red' Kuramoto model from the deterministic and Gaussian cases to the cases where the models are driven by stable and tempered stable Levy noise. We apply techniques from Bayesian optimisation and the so-called 0-1 test for chaos to numerically investigate the impact of the stochastic noise under various parameterisations of the driving stochastic noise. This 'Blue vs Red' model is then extended into a 'combat-coordination model' through the development of an adversarial attrition model with spatial dependency driven by tempered stable Levy noise. We then consider extending our previously considered simulation techniques to the case of simulating conditioned stochastic processes, specifically processes conditioned to stay positive and conditioned on the terminal value. These simulation techniques for conditioned stochastic processes are then applied in the context of a conditioned Kuramoto model with a focus on the impact of the underlying network structure. We then advance an approach to mathematically represent networked human decision makers by adapting a Kuramoto model under heave-tailed noise and applying data from a recent study of military headquarters staff. We finally investigate pairs trading and portfolio optimisation under a general stochastic synchronisation model.

description: This paper is about the initial phase of a development project at a residential school in Scotland. It asks us to consider the inner lives of children and those who work with them, and to find ways to create a community which will engender a holistic evolution in all its members. Our work is a journey to help wounded children encounter, believe in, and develop what is the very best in them. We are asked to bring children the very best we have, our treasure, so that they can look at our gifts as in a mirror, and see that they are a precious gift to the world.

description: We study the thermodynamics of Bose-Einstein condensation in a weakly interacting quasi-homogeneous atomic gas, prepared in an optical-box trap. We characterise the critical point for condensation and observe saturation of the thermal component in a partially condensed cloud, in agreement with Einstein's textbook picture of a purely statistical phase transition. Finally, we observe the quantum Joule-Thomson effect, namely isoenthalpic cooling of an (essentially) ideal gas. In our experiments this cooling occurs spontaneously, due to energy-independent collisions with the background gas in the vacuum chamber. We extract a Joule-Thomson coefficient $μ_{\rm JT} > 10^9$ K/bar, about ten orders of magnitude larger than observed in classical gases.
