description: We discuss the potential impacts on the CMSSM of future LHC runs and possible electron-positron and higher-energy proton-proton colliders, considering searches for supersymmetry via MET events, precision electroweak physics, Higgs measurements and dark matter searches. We validate and present estimates of the physics reach for exclusion or discovery of supersymmetry via MET searches at the LHC, which should cover the low-mass regions of the CMSSM parameter space favoured in a recent global analysis. As we illustrate with a low-mass benchmark point, a discovery would make possible accurate LHC measurements of sparticle masses using the MT2 variable, which could be combined with cross-section and other measurements to constrain the gluino, squark and stop masses and hence the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters m_0, m_{1/2} and A_0 of the CMSSM. Slepton measurements at CLIC would enable m_0 and m_{1/2} to be determined with high precision. If supersymmetry is indeed discovered in the low-mass region, precision electroweak and Higgs measurements with a future circular electron-positron collider (FCC-ee, also known as TLEP) combined with LHC measurements would provide tests of the CMSSM at the loop level. If supersymmetry is not discovered at the LHC, is likely to lie somewhere along a focus-point, stop coannihilation strip or direct-channel A/H resonance funnel. We discuss the prospects for discovering supersymmetry along these strips at a future circular proton-proton collider such as FCC-hh. Illustrative benchmark points on these strips indicate that also in this case FCC-ee could provide tests of the CMSSM at the loop level.

description: We report an electron spin resonance (ESR) study of the s = 1/2 Heisenberg pseudo-ladder magnet CaCu2O3 in pulsed magnetic fields up to 40 T. At sub-terahertz frequencies we observe an ESR signal originating from a small amount of uncompensated spins residing presumably at the imperfections of the strongly antiferromagnetically correlated host spin lattice. The data give evidence that these few per cent of 'extra' spin states are coupled strongly to the bulk spins and are involved in the antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering at TN = 25 K. By mapping the frequency/resonance field diagram we have determined a small gap for magnetic excitations below TN of the order of ~0.3–0.8 meV. Such a small value of the gap explains the occurrence of the spin-flop transition in CaCu2O3 at weak magnetic fields μ0Hsf ~ 3 T. Qualitative changes of the ESR response with the increasing field strength give indications that strong magnetic fields reduce the AF correlations and may even suppress the long-range magnetic order in CaCu2O3. ESR data support scenarios with a significant role of the 'extra' spin states for the properties of low-dimensional quantum magnets.

description: Starting from a stochastic individual-based description of an SIS epidemic spreading on a random network, we study the dynamics when the size $n$ of the network tends to infinity. We recover in the limit an infinite-dimensional integro-differential equation studied by Delmas, Dronnier and Zitt (2022) for an SIS epidemic propagating on a graphon. Our work covers the case of dense and sparse graphs, provided that the number of edges grows faster than $n$, but not the case of very sparse graphs with $O(n)$ edges. In order to establish our limit theorem, we have to deal with both the convergence of the random graphs to the graphon and the convergence of the stochastic process spreading on top of these random structures: in particular, we propose a coupling between the process of interest and an epidemic that spreads on the complete graph but with a modified infection rate.
 Keywords: Random graph, mathematical models of epidemics, measure-valued process, large network limit, limit theorem, graphon.

Cette tribu, qui ne semble être représentée ni a La Réunion. ni a Rodriguez. comprend une magnifique espece mauricienne (lécrite en 1954 par Orian sous le nom de Mauricia, claudeae. Le taxon générique se trouvant déjà attribué à des Mollusques, R. Mamet, lors de sa révision de la liste des Rhynchotes non sternorhynques de Maurice, se vit contraint de créer celui de Dinarobia pour recevoir claudeae (1957: 74; de Dina Robi, nom que les anciens navigateurs arabes donnèrent à l'île). Dinarobia claudeae (Orian) est une belle espèce uniformément vert tendre lorsqu'elle est vivante, ressemblant aux Fractuosella mais bien plus grosse et surtout présentant la multinervation alaire propre à sa tribu et qui, chez elle, porte à quinze le nombre des cellules apicales aux tegmina et à huit celui propre aux ailes postérieures. La collection comprend 12 ♂ et 2 ♀ en parfait état, pris pour la plupart dans la forêt à Macabé ou à Mare-longue, au piège lumineux, de la fin mars à la mi-juin, par R. Mamet et J. Vinson. Orian n'ayant pu baser sa description que sur un mâle (pris sur le versant Ouest de la Montagne « Corps de garde »), je donne ici quelques précisions concernant la femelle dont la capture n'avait pas encore été expressément signalée. Néallotype femelle (fig. 34): Habitus comparable à celui du mâle hormis l'abdomen qui n'est pas renflé. Teinte fondamentale vert tendre, sur toute l'étendue du corps à l'exception des tibias antérieurs et des trois paires de tarses qui sont rosés. Pygophore en cône allongé; ovivalvula large et échancré en profondeur, tarière longue dépourvue de serratules douze fois dentées, styloïdes dépassant grandement le pygophore. Voies génitales ectodermiques: Comme sur la figure 35; elles présentent des affinités étroites avec celles des Fractuosella, notamment au niveau de l'ampoule séminale qui se caractérise aussi par la forme polylobulée très inhabituelle.

description: We provide evidence of strongly confined coherent acoustic phonons inside high quality factor phononic cavities that exhibit tailoredphonon potentials. Using GaAs/AlAs quasiperiodic superlattices, these functional phonon potentials are realized by adiabatically changing the layer thicknesses along the growth direction. Room temperature ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy reveals discrete phonon levels in the range of $\approx 96-101$ GHz. Additionally, we confirm that phononic cavities significantly retard the energy loss rate of the photoexcited carriers as evidenced by time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. These results highlight the potential of opto-phononic devices that can bridge the divide between phononics and optoelectronics by concurrently engineering electronic and phononic properties.
description: In this version, we have incorporated a new section addressing the temporal dynamics of cavity phonons. Additionally, the analysis and discussion of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) results have been enhanced

description: As security communities brace for the emerging social automation based threats, we examine the mechanisms of developing situation awareness in cyberspace and the governance issues that socialbots bring into this existing paradigm of cyber situation awareness. We point out that an organisation's situation awareness in cyberspace is a phenomena fundamentally distinct from the original conception of situation awareness, requiring continuous data exchange and knowledge management where the standard implementation mechanisms require significant policy attention in light of threats like malicious social automation. We conceptualise Cyberspace Awareness as a socio-technical phenomena with Syntactic, Semantic, and Operatic dimensions - each subject to a number of stressors which are exacerbated under social automation based threats. The paper contributes to the ideas of situational awareness in cyberspace, and characterises the challenges therein around tackling the increasingly social and often pervasive, automation in cyber threat environments.
Applying linguistics to writing in the disciplines: a reflection
Creators: name: Milligan, Simon
Publisher: name: ETH Learning and Teaching Journal
Year: 2020

description: Writing about research is of critical importance both to science as a whole and to the careers of individual scientists. However, acquiring the skills required to write effectively takes a great deal of time. This reflection paper discusses how writing courses delivered to groups that share a single disciplinary background can enable the development of discipline-specific writing skills faster than broad-spectrum courses for participants from a wide range of disciplines. Two courses are considered: one a broad-spectrum course, the other a more specific one. Both courses are aimed at doctoral students producing their first (or early) research articles. The particular element examined is the presentation, practice, and production of a schema for structuring introductions called creating a research space (CARS). In both courses, the CARS schema was first presented and then demonstrated with two examples taken from authentic texts. The examples used in the broad-spectrum course differed more than those used in the specific course, and the heterogeneity of example texts under consideration was then increased by asking participants in both courses to examine model texts that they had selected from their target journals. Subsequent plenary discussion in the broad-spectrum course tended to focus on differences between examples more than did discussion in the specific course. Introductions produced as assignments for the broad-spectrum course were more heterogeneous than those produced for the specific course, but this does not indicate that any of the broad-spectrum assignments was less successful in reproducing the stylistic specificities of research article introductions in that participant’s discipline. Comparison of quantitative feedback for the courses as a whole indicates somewhat higher satisfaction with the specific approach, exemplified here with introductions, than with the broad-spectrum course, although this will have been affected by many factors. Some qualitative feedback for the specific course explicitly mentions the discipline-specific approach as a positive aspect. The instances examined here are not themselves conclusive evidence of the superiority of either course, but they are congruent with a growing body of research indicating that participants benefit most directly from learning to write particular genres within their specific disciplines. However, discipline-specific courses can only be provided under a particular set of circumstances, do not necessarily provide a strong foundation for broader long-term writing skills development or a clear awareness of the diversity of writing styles across the academy, and are not necessarily better suited to supporting writers of diverse, nonstandard, or nonacademic genres.

description: We derive exact, asymptotically flat black hole solutions of Einstein-scalar gravity sourced by a non trivial scalar field with $1/r$ asymptotic behaviour. They are determined using an ansatz for the scalar field profile and working out, together with the metric functions, the corresponding form of the scalar self-interaction potential. Near to the singularity the black hole behaves as the Janis-Newmann-Winicour-Wyman solution. We also work out a consistent thermodynamical description of our black hole solutions. For large mass our hairy black holes have the same thermodynamical behaviour of the Schwarzschild black hole, whereas for small masses they differ substantially from the latter.

description: We interpret the equivariant cohomology algebra H∗GLn×C*(T*Fλ;C) of the cotangent bundle of a partial flag variety Fλ parametrizing chains of subspaces 0 = F0 ⊂ F1 ⊂ · · · ⊂ FN = Cn, dim Fi/Fi−1 = λi, as the Yangian Bethe algebra B∞( 1DV−λ) of the glN-weight subspace 1/DV−λ of a Y (glN)-module 1/DV−. Under this identification the dynamical connection of [TV1] turns into the quantum connection of [BMO] and [MO]. As a result of this identification we describe the algebra of quantum multiplication on H∗GLn×C*(T ∗Fλ;C) as the algebra of functions on fibers of a discrete Wronski map. In particular this gives generators and relations of that algebra. This identification also gives us hypergeometric solutions of the associated quantum differential equation. That fact manifests the Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry for the cotangent bundle of the flag variety.

description: Normalization is a pre-processing step that converts the data into a more usable representation. As part of the deep neural networks (DNNs), the batch normalization (BN) technique uses normalization to address the problem of internal covariate shift. It can be packaged as general modules, which have been extensively integrated into various DNNs, to stabilize and accelerate training, presumably leading to improved generalization. However, the effect of BN is dependent on the mini-batch size and it does not take into account any groups or clusters that may exist in the dataset when estimating population statistics. This study proposes a new normalization technique, called context normalization, for image data. This approach adjusts the scaling of features based on the characteristics of each sample, which improves the model's convergence speed and performance by adapting the data values to the context of the target task. The effectiveness of context normalization is demonstrated on various datasets, and its performance is compared to other standard normalization techniques.

description: The primary objective of the KATRIN experiment is to probe the absolute neutrino mass scale with a sensitivity of 200 meV (90% C.L.) by precision spectroscopy of tritium -decay. To achieve this, a low background of the order of 10−2 cps in the region of the tritium  -decay endpoint is required. Measurements with an electrostatic retarding spectrometer have revealed that electrons, arising from nuclear decays in the volume of the spectrometer, are stored over long time periods and thereby act as a major source of background exceeding this limit. In this paper we present a novel active background reduction method based on stochastic heating of stored electrons by the well-known process of electron cyclotron resonance (ECR). A successful proof-of-principle of the ECR technique was demonstrated in test measurements at the KATRIN pre-spectrometer, yielding a large reduction of the background rate. In addition, we have carried out extensive Monte Carlo simulations to reveal the potential of the ECR technique to remove all trapped electrons in a few ms with negligible loss of measurement time in the main spectrometer. This would allow the KATRIN experiment attaining its full physics potential.
Six New Mechanics corresponding to further Shape Theories

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: A suite of relational notions of shape are presented at the level of configuration space geometry, with corresponding new theories of shape mechanics and shape statistics. These further generalize two quite well known examples: --1) Kendall's (metric) shape space with his shape statistics and Barbour's mechanics thereupon. 0) Leibnizian relational space alias metric scale-and-shape space to which corresponds Barbour-Bertotti mechanics. This paper's new theories include, using the invariant and group namings, 1) $Angle$ alias $conformal$ $shape$ $mechanics$. 2) $Area ratio$ alias $affine$ $shape$ $mechanics$. 3) $ Area$ alias $affine$ $scale$-$and$-$shape$ $mechanics$. 1) to 3) rest respectively on angle space, area-ratio space, and area space configuration spaces. Probability and statistics applications are also pointed to in outline. 4) Various supersymmetric counterparts of -1) to 3) are considered. Since supergravity differs considerably from GR-based conceptions of Background Independence, some of the new supersymmetric shape mechanics are compared with both. These reveal compatibility between supersymmetry and GR-based conceptions of Background Independence, at least within these simpler model arenas.

description: Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) techniques attempt to increase the visibility of images captured in low-light scenarios. However, as a result of enhancement, a variety of image degradations such as noise and color bias are revealed. Furthermore, each particular LLIE approach may introduce a different form of flaw within its enhanced results. To combat these image degradations, post-processing denoisers have widely been used, which often yield oversmoothed results lacking detail. We propose using a diffusion model as a post-processing approach, and we introduce Low-light Post-processing Diffusion Model (LPDM) in order to model the conditional distribution between under-exposed and normally-exposed images. We apply LPDM in a manner which avoids the computationally expensive generative reverse process of typical diffusion models, and post-process images in one pass through LPDM. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms competing post-processing denoisers by increasing the perceptual quality of enhanced low-light images on a variety of challenging low-light datasets.

description: One of the open questions of the strong interaction theory is the existence of the Odderon, which is an unambiguous prediction of Quantum Chromodynamics, but still not confirmed experimentally. An alternative to probe the Odderon is the exclusive $η_c$ photoproduction in hadronic collisions. As the Pomeron exchange cannot contribute to this process, its observation would indicate the existence of the Odderon. In this paper we estimate the $η_c$ production in photon - induced interactions in hadronic collisions at the AFTER@LHC experiment. We demonstrate that the experimental analysis of this process is feasible in the AFTER@LHC experiment and that the observation of the $η_c$ production in nuclear collisions is a unambiguous signature of the Odderon.

description: Point contacts between high anisotropy ferromagnetic SmCo5 and normal metal Cu are used to achieve a strong spin-population inversion in the contact core. Subjected to microwave irradiation in resonance with the Zeeman splitting in Cu, the inverted spin population relaxes through stimulated spin-flip photon emission, detected as peaks in the point-contact resistance. Resonant spin-flip photon absorption is detected as resistance minima, corresponding to sourcing the photon field energy into the electrical circuit. These results demonstrate fundamental mechanisms that are potentially useful in designing metallic spin-based lasers.
Electron-K-Phonon Interaction In Twisted Bilayer Graphene

description: We develop an analytic theory to describe the interaction between electrons and K-phonons and study its influence on superconductivity in the bare bands of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG). We find that, due to symmetry and the two-center approximation, only one optical K-phonon (~ 160meV) of graphene is responsible for inter-valley electron-phonon interaction. This phonon has recently been found in angular-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy to be responsible for replicas of the TBG flat bands. By projecting the interaction to the TBG flat bands, we perform the full symmetry analysis of phonon-mediated attractive interaction and pairing channels in the Chern basis, and show that several channels are guaranteed to have gapless order parameters. From the linearized gap equations, we find that the highest Tc pairing induced by this phonon is a singlet gapped s-wave inter-Chern-band order parameter, followed closely by a gapless nematic d-wave intra-Chern-band order parameter. We justify these results analytically, using the topological heavy fermion mapping of TBG which has allowed us to obtain an analytic form of phonon-mediated attractive interaction and to analytically solve the linearized and T=0 gap equations. For the intra-Chern-band channel, the nematic state with nodes is shown to be stabilized in the chiral flat band limit. While the flat band Coulomb interaction can be screened sufficiently enough - around Van-Hove singularities - to allow for electron-phonon based superconductivity, it is unlikely that this effect can be maintained in the lower density of states excitation bands around the correlated insulator states.

description: Many of the quantum information applications rely on indistinguishable sources of polarization-entangled photons. Semiconductor quantum dots are among the leading candidates for a deterministic entangled photon source; however, due to their random growth nature, it is impossible to find different quantum dots emitting entangled photons with identical wavelengths. The wavelength tunability has therefore become a fundamental requirement for a number of envisioned applications, for example, nesting different dots via the entanglement swapping and interfacing dots with cavities/atoms. Here we report the generation of wavelength-tunable entangled photons from on-chip integrated InAs/GaAs quantum dots. With a novel anisotropic strain engineering technique based on PMN-PT/silicon micro-electromechanical system, we can recover the quantum dot electronic symmetry at different exciton emission wavelengths. Together with a footprint of several hundred microns, our device facilitates the scalable integration of indistinguishable entangled photon sources on-chip, and therefore removes a major stumbling block to the quantum-dot-based solid-state quantum information platforms.

description: The halting problem is undecidable --- but can it be solved for "most" inputs? This natural question was considered in a number of papers, in different settings. We revisit their results and show that most of them can be easily proven in a natural framework of optimal machines (considered in algorithmic information theory) using the notion of Kolmogorov complexity. We also consider some related questions about this framework and about asymptotic properties of the halting problem. In particular, we show that the fraction of terminating programs cannot have a limit, and all limit points are Martin-Löf random reals. We then consider mass problems of finding an approximate solution of halting problem and probabilistic algorithms for them, proving both positive and negative results. We consider the fraction of terminating programs that require a long time for termination, and describe this fraction using the busy beaver function. We also consider approximate versions of separation problems, and revisit Schnorr's results about optimal numberings showing how they can be generalized.

description: This study attempts to clarify the relationship between development and press freedom, and the role of culture in determining press freedom throughout the world. Moreover, the study explores differences in the results, based on analysis using alternative leading press freedom indices (Freedom House and Reporters Sans Frontières), to gauge the influence of the indices themselves in forming conclusions. According to the results, the link between development and press freedom is not established conclusively. The two press freedom indices produce divergent, even contradictory, results. The findings speak to the necessity for continued refinement of quantitative measures, particularly when addressing matters as subtle as global press freedom.

Gluten-free baked goods are a challenge for biotechnologists and nutritionists because their low baking characteristics. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were identified and characterized from chia flour and spontaneously fermented sourdough. Based on techno-functional and safety properties, Weissella cibaria CH28 together with Lactobacillus plantarum FUA3171 and Lactobacillus fermentum FUA3165 from fermented sorghum, were used as inoculants to ferment chia and flaxseed sourdoughs used for sorghum gluten-free breadmaking. Compared to chemically acidified control, fermentation products present in oilseed sourdoughs after 24 h showed a marked increase of lactate, xylose, arabinose, free amino acids and hydrogen peroxide while glucose was undetectable. Sorghum-based laboratory breads manufactured with different percentages (0–40% w/w) of oilseeds sourdoughs fermented by W. cibaria CH28 and lactobacilli showed that those started with 30 and 40% of sourdoughs significantly improved specific volume and visual appearance compared to 100% sorghum breads. Sensory evaluation of gluten-free sorghum breads showed 40% of replacement as the most accepted by panelists who were also able to discriminate breads inoculated with fermented and unfermented chia dough. The use of chia

sourdoughs fermented with selected autochthonous LAB strains as ingredient for gluten-free breadmaking, will have an impact in baked foods functionality and healthiness.
Deterrence, Lawsuits, and Litigation Outcomes Under Court Errors

description: This paper presents a strategic model of liability and litigation under court errors. Our framework allows for endogenous choice of level of care and endogenous likelihood of filing and disputes. We derive sufficient conditions for a unique universally-divine mixed-strategy perfect Bayesian equilibrium under low court errors. In this equilibrium, some defendants choose to be grossly negligent; some cases are filed; and, some lawsuits are dropped, some are resolved out-of-court and some go to trial. We find that court errors in the size of the award, as well as damage caps and split-awards, reduce the likelihood of trial but increase filing and reduce the deterrence effect of punitive damages. We derive conditions under which the adoption of the English rule for allocating legal costs reduces filing.

description: The magneto-optical gradient effect decorates the boundaries of in-plane domains even at perpendicular incidence of light in an optical polarization microscope. For its explanation, the classical magneto-optical diffraction theory was previously used to derive the effect from the same gyrotropic interaction as the Kerr effect. In order to explain the symmetry of the experimentally observed contrast on bulk ferromagnetic crystals, planar as well as perpendicular subsurface gradients in the magnetization had to be assumed. This was particularly needed when the surface magnetizations in neighboring domains pointed head-on and a gradient contrast appeared also in conditions of vanishing gyrotropic interaction at the surface. The gradient contrast in such conditions should not appear in very thin films where perpendicular magnetization gradients are not enforced by reduction of magnetostatic energy. Here we present the first experimental confirmation of this expectation, thus closing an experimental gap in verifying the predictions of the diffraction theory.

description: The process of training feedforward neural networks (FFNNs) can benefit from an automated process where the best heuristic to train the network is sought out automatically by means of a high-level probabilistic-based heuristic. This research introduces a novel population-based Bayesian hyper-heuristic (BHH) that is used to train feedforward neural networks (FFNNs). The performance of the BHH is compared to that of ten popular low-level heuristics, each with different search behaviours. The chosen heuristic pool consists of classic gradient-based heuristics as well as meta-heuristics (MHs). The empirical process is executed on fourteen datasets consisting of classification and regression problems with varying characteristics. The BHH is shown to be able to train FFNNs well and provide an automated method for finding the best heuristic to train the FFNNs at various stages of the training process.
Poynting flux in the neighbourhood of a point charge in arbitrary motion and the radiative power losses

description: We examine the electromagnetic fields in the neighbourhood of a "point charge" in arbitrary motion and thereby determine the Poynting flux across a spherical surface of vanishingly small radius surrounding the charge. We show that the radiative power losses from a point charge turn out to be proportional to the scalar product of the instantaneous velocity and the first time-derivative of the acceleration of the charge. This may seem to be in discordance with the familiar Larmor's formula where the instantaneous power radiated from a charge is proportional to the square of acceleration. However, it seems that the root cause of the discrepancy actually lies in the Larmor's formula which is derived using the acceleration fields but without a due consideration for the Poynting flux associated with the velocity-dependent self-fields "co-moving" with the charge. Further, while deriving Larmor's formula one equates the Poynting flux through a surface at some later time to the radiation loss by the enclosed charge at the retarded time. Poynting's theorem, on the other hand, relates the outgoing radiation flux from a closed surface to the rate of energy decrease within the enclosed volume, all calculated {\em for the same given instant} only. Here we explicitly show the absence of any Poynting flux in the neighbourhood of an instantly stationary point charge, implying no radiative losses from such a charge, which is in complete conformity with energy conservation. We further show how Larmor's formula is still able to serve our purpose in vast majority of cases. It is further shown that Larmor's formula in general violates momentum conservation and in the case of synchrotron radiation leads to a potentially wrong conclusion about the pitch angle changes of the radiating charges, and that only the radiation reaction formula yields a correct result, consistent with the special relativity.
