description: In this work we study a classically scale invariant extension of the Standard Model that can explain simultaneously dark matter and the baryon asymmetry in the universe. In our set-up we introduce a dark sector, namely a non-Abelian SU(2) hidden sector coupled to the SM via the Higgs portal, and a singlet sector responsible for generating Majorana masses for three right-handed sterile neutrinos. The gauge bosons of the dark sector are mass-degenerate and stable, and this makes them suitable as dark matter candidates. Our model also accounts for the matter-anti-matter asymmetry. The lepton flavour asymmetry is produced during CP-violating oscillations of the GeV-scale right-handed neutrinos, and converted to the baryon asymmetry by the electroweak sphalerons. All the characteristic scales in the model: the electro-weak, dark matter and the leptogenesis/neutrino mass scales, are generated radiatively, have a common origin and related to each other via scalar field couplings in perturbation theory.

Probing the SUSY with $10$ TeV stop mass in rare decays and CP violation of Kaon

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We probe the SUSY at the $10 \ {\rm TeV}$ scale in the rare decays and the CP violation of the kaon. We focus on the processes of $K_L \to π^0 ν{\bar ν}$ and $K^+ \to π^+ ν{\bar ν}$ combined with the CP violating parameters $ε_K$ and $ε_K^\prime/ε_K$. The Z-penguin mediated by the chargino loop cannot enhance $K_L \to π^0 ν{\bar ν}$ and $K^+ \to π^+ ν{\bar ν}$ because the left-right mixing of the stop is constrained by the $125$ GeV Higgs mass. On the other hand, the Z-penguin mediated by the gluino loop can enhance the branching ratios of both $K_L \to π^0 ν{\bar ν}$ and $K^+ \to π^+ ν{\bar ν}$. The former increases up to more than $1.0 \times 10^{-10}$, which is much larger than the SM prediction even if the constraint of $ε_K$ is imposed. It is remarkable that the Z-penguin mediated by the gluino loop can enhance simultaneously $ε^\prime_K/ε_K$ and the branching ratio of $K_L \to π^0 ν{\bar ν}$, which increases up to $1.0 \times 10^{-10}$. We also study the decay rates of $K_L\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$, $B^0\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$ and $B_s\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$, which correlate with the $K_L \to π^0 ν{\bar ν}$ decay through the Z penguin. It is important to examine the $B^0\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$ process since we expect the enough sensitivity of this decay mode to the SUSY at LHCb.

description: We study the heat conductivity in Anderson insulators in the presence of power-law interaction. Particle-hole excitations built on localized electron states are viewed as two-level systems randomly distributed in space and energy and coupled due to electron-electron interaction. A small fraction of these states form resonant pairs that in turn build a complex network allowing for energy propagation. We identify the character of energy transport through this network and evaluate the thermal conductivity. For physically relevant cases of 2D and 3D spin systems with $1/r^3$ dipole-dipole interaction (originating from the conventional $1/r$ Coulomb interaction between electrons), the found thermal conductivity $κ$ scales with temperature as $κ\propto T^3 $ and $κ\propto T^{4/3}$, respectively. Our results may be of relevance also to other realizations of random spin Hamiltonians with long-range interactions.

description: Little Higgs Models are promising constructs to solve the hierarchy problem affecting the Higgs boson mass for generic new physics. However, their preservation of lepton universality forbids them to account for the $H\toτμ$ CMS hint and at the same time respect (as they do) the severe limits on $H\toμe$ inherited from the non-observation of $μ\to eγ$. We compute the predictions of the Simplest Little Higgs Model for the $H\to \ell\ell'$ decays and conclude that the measurement of any of these decays at LHC (even with a much smaller rate than currently hinted) would, under reasonable assumptions, disfavor this model. This result is consistent with our earlier observation of very suppressed lepton flavor violating semileptonic tau decays within this model.

description: Here we report a robust thermal anemometer which can be easily built. It was conceived to measure outdoor wind speeds, and for airspeed monitoring in wind tunnels and other indoor uses. It works at a constant, low temperature of approximately 90$^\circ$C, so that an independent measurement of the air temperature is required to give a correct speed reading. Despite the size and high thermal inertia of the probe, the test results show that this anemometer is capable of measuring turbulent fluctuations up to ~100 Hz in winds of ~14 m/s, which corresponds to a scale similar to the length of the probe.

description: We apply the massive analogue of the truncated conformal space approach to study the two dimensional $ϕ^{4}$ theory in finite volume. We focus on the broken phase and determine the finite size spectrum of the model numerically. We interpret the results in terms of the Bethe-Yang spectrum, from which we extract the infinite volume masses and scattering matrices for various couplings. We compare these results against semiclassical analysis and perturbation theory. We also analyze the critical point of the model and confirm that it is in the Ising universality class.

description: The Star formation rate (SFR) is a crucial parameter to investigate galaxy evolution. At low redshift the cosmic SFR density declines smoothly, and massive active galaxies become passive, reducing their star formation activity. This implies that the bulk of the SFR density at low redshift is mainly driven by low mass objects. We investigate the properties of a sample of low luminosity Far-Infrared (FIR) sources selected at 250 microns from Pappalardo et al. (2015). We have collected data from Ultraviolet to FIR to perform a multi-wavelengths analysis. The main goal is to investigate the correlation between SFR, stellar mass, and dust mass for a galaxy population with a wide range in dust content and stellar mass, including the low mass regime that most probably dominates the SFR density at low z. We define a main sample of ~800 sources with full Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) coverage between 0.15 < lambda < 500 microns and an extended sample with ~5000 sources in which we remove the constraints on the Ultraviolet and Near-Infrared bands. We analyze both samples with two different SED fitting methods: MAGPHYS and CIGALE. In the SFR versus stellar mass plane our samples occupy a region included between local spirals and higher redshift star forming galaxies. The galaxies subsample with the higher masses (M* > 3e10 Msol) does not lie on the main sequence, but shows a small offset, as a consequence of the decreased star formation. Low mass galaxies (M* < 1e10 Msol) settle in the main sequence with SFR and stellar mass consistent with local spirals. Deep Herschel data allow the identification of a mixed galaxy population, with galaxies still in an assembly phase, or galaxies at the beginning of their passive evolution. We find that the dust luminosity is the parameter that discriminates these two galaxy populations.

Exploratory graph analysis: a new approach for estimating the number of dimensions in psychological research

description: The estimation of the correct number of dimensions is a long-standing problem in psychometrics. Several methods have been proposed, such as parallel analysis (PA), Kaiser-Guttman's eigenvalue-greaterthan-one rule, multiple average partial procedure (MAP), the maximum-likelihood approaches that use fit indexes as BIC and EBIC and the less used and studied approach called very simple structure (VSS). In the present paper a new approach to estimate the number of dimensions will be introduced and compared via simulation to the traditional techniques pointed above. The approach proposed in the current paper is called exploratory graph analysis (EGA), since it is based on the graphical lasso with the regularization parameter specified using EBIC. The number of dimensions is verified using the walktrap, a random walk algorithm used to identify communities in networks. In total, 32,000 data sets were simulated to fit known factor structures, with the data sets varying across different criteria: number of factors (2 and 4), number of items (5 and 10), sample size (100, 500, 1000 and 5000) and correlation between factors (orthogonal, .20, .50 and .70), resulting in 64 different conditions. For each condition, 500 data sets were simulated using lavaan. The result shows that the EGA performs comparable to parallel analysis, EBIC, eBIC and to KaiserGuttman rule in a number of situations, especially when the number of factors was two. However, EGA was the only technique able to correctly estimate the number of dimensions in the four-factor structure when the correlation between factors were .7, showing an accuracy of 100% for a sample size of 5,000 observations. Finally, the EGA was used to estimate the number of factors in a real dataset, in order to compare its performance with the other six techniques tested in the simulation study.

description: We study an optomechanical system consisting of an optical cavity and movable mirror coupled through dispersive linear optomechanical coupling (LOC) and quadratic optomechanical coupling(QOC). We work in the resolved side band limit with a high quality factor mechanical oscillator in a strong coupling regime. We show that the presence of QOC in the conventional optomechanical system (with LOC alone) modifies the mechanical oscillator's frequency and reduces the back-action effects on mechanical oscillator. As a result of this the fluctuations in mechanical oscillator can be suppressed below standard quantum limit thereby squeeze the mechanical motion of resonator. We also show that either of the quadratures can be squeezed depending on the sign of the QOC. With detailed numerical calculations and analytical approximation we show that in such systems, the 3 dB limit can be beaten.

The Bragg interferometer simultaneously addresses the three magnetic states, $\left| m_f=1,0,-1 \right\rangle$, facilitating a simultaneous measurement of the acceleration due to gravity with an asymptotic precision of $2.1\times 10^{-9}$$Δ$g/g and the magnetic field gradient to a precision $8$pT/m.

description: Monocular depth estimation (MDE) is a challenging task in computer vision, often hindered by the cost and scarcity of high-quality labeled datasets. We tackle this challenge using auxiliary datasets from related vision tasks for an alternating training scheme with a shared decoder built on top of a pre-trained vision foundation model, while giving a higher weight to MDE. Through extensive experiments we demonstrate the benefits of incorporating various in-domain auxiliary datasets and tasks to improve MDE quality on average by ~11%. Our experimental analysis shows that auxiliary tasks have different impacts, confirming the importance of task selection, highlighting that quality gains are not achieved by merely adding data. Remarkably, our study reveals that using semantic segmentation datasets as Multi-Label Dense Classification (MLDC) often results in additional quality gains. Lastly, our method significantly improves the data efficiency for the considered MDE datasets, enhancing their quality while reducing their size by at least 80%. This paves the way for using auxiliary data from related tasks to improve MDE quality despite limited availability of high-quality labeled data.

Integral formulae for codimension-one foliated Finsler manifolds

description: We study extrinsic geometry of a codimension-one foliation ${\cal F}$ of a closed Finsler space $(M,F)$, in particular, of a Randers space $(M,α+β)$. Using a unit vector field $ν$ orthogonal (in the Finsler sense) to the leaves of ${\cal F}$ we define a new Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$, which for Randers case depends nicely on $(α,β)$. For that $g$ we derive several geometric invariants of ${\cal F}$ (e.g. the Riemann curvature and the shape operator) in terms of $F$, then under natural assumptions on $β$ which simplify derivations, we express them in terms of corresponding invariants arising from $α$ and $β$. Using our approach (2012), we produce the integral formulae for ${\cal F}$ on $(M, F)$ and $(M, α+β)$, which relate integrals of mean curvatures with those involving algebraic invariants obtained from the shape operator of a foliation, and the Riemann curvature in the direction $ν$. They generalize the formulae by Brito, Langevin and Rosenberg, which show that total mean curvatures (of arbitrary order $k$) for codimension-one foliations on a closed $(m+1)$-dimensional manifold of constant curvature $K$ don't depend on a choice of ${\cal F}$.

description: The infrared dynamics of $2+1$ dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED$_3$) with a large number $N$ of fermion flavors is governed by an interacting CFT that can be studied in the $1/N$ expansion. We use the $1/N$ expansion to calculate the scaling dimensions of all the lowest three scalar operators that transform under the $SU(N)$ flavor symmetry as a Young diagram with two columns of not necessarily equal heights and that have vanishing topological charge. In the case of $SU(N)$ singlets, we study the mixing of $(\bar ψ_i ψ^i)(\bar ψ_j ψ^j)$ and $F_{μν} F^{μν}$, which are the lowest dimension parity-even singlets. Our results suggest that these operators are irrelevant for all $N>1$.

description: In this study, we investigate the $J/ψ$ production induced by pion beams off the nucleon, particularly the heavy pentaquarks $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4450)$ in intermediate states, based on a hybridized Regge model. The process involving $ρ$ and $π$ meson exchange in the $t$ channel is considered as background, and the heavy pentaquark exchange is included in the $s$ channel. The coupling constants such as the $ρNN$ and $πNN$ vertices are taken from the $NN$ potentials, whereas those for the $J/ψρπ$ and $J/ψππ$ vertices are determined by using experimental data based on the branching ratios. In order to estimate the $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4450)$ coupling constants, we use the experimental upper limit on the total cross section as a guide for the $πN\to J/ψN$ reaction. The background total cross section is the order of $10^{-4}-10^{-3}$ nb. In the vicinity of the heavy pentaquark masses, the total cross section reaches about $1$ nb.

description: After a brief survey of human requirements for protein, the policy of the United Nations towards closing the protein gap and sources of cheap proteins and their processing is followed by a review of biological, microbiological, chemical and biochemical methods of evaluating protein quality. The effects of heat on proteins and their in vivo absorption are discussed. The chemical and nutritional methods used to analyse heated casein are described and the results obtained are discussed. Samples were processed either in solution or dry at temperatures between 100 and 130° for up to 8 hours. Only small changes in gel filtration pattern of casein processed in solution were observed and dry casein was chosen for further investigation as heating resulted in definite’ changes in both alkaline solubility and filtration pattern of this material. A decrease in NPU was observed only after denaturation had occurred. In samples subjected to severe heat treatment, there were losses of aspartic acid, threonine, serine, cystine, histidine and lysine. The alkali-soluble and insoluble fractions of some samples heated to 120 and 130° were separated and compared with the corresponding total heated samples. The NPU, BV, digestibility and RNV of each sample were similar to values obtained far the corresponding fractions and the reasons for this are discussed, There were similarities in the availabilities of the essential amino acids in each sample and its fractions. Each soluble fraction differed in total amino acid content from the corresponding total sample and insoluble fraction, the latter two being similar. A shortened MEAA index based on available methionine + cystine, lysine and tryptophan, the PPD index, the chemical score based on available methionine and the pepsin digestibility of some samples of casein have been examined.

description: We propose two novel techniques --- stacking bottleneck features and minimum generation error training criterion --- to improve the performance of deep neural network (DNN)-based speech synthesis. The techniques address the related issues of frame-by-frame independence and ignorance of the relationship between static and dynamic features, within current typical DNN-based synthesis frameworks. Stacking bottleneck features, which are an acoustically--informed linguistic representation, provides an efficient way to include more detailed linguistic context at the input. The minimum generation error training criterion minimises overall output trajectory error across an utterance, rather than minimising the error per frame independently, and thus takes into account the interaction between static and dynamic features. The two techniques can be easily combined to further improve performance. We present both objective and subjective results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques. The subjective results show that combining the two techniques leads to significantly more natural synthetic speech than from conventional DNN or long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network (RNN) systems.

description: The development of autonomous lightweight MAVs, capable of navigating in unknown indoor environments, is one of the major challenges in robotics. The complexity of this challenge comes from constraints on weight and power consumption of onboard sensing and processing devices. In this paper we propose the "Droplet" strategy, an avoidance strategy based on stereo vision inputs that outperforms reactive avoidance strategies by allowing constant speed maneuvers while being computationally extremely efficient, and which does not need to store previous images or maps. The strategy deals with nonholonomic motion constraints of most fixed and flapping wing platforms, and with the limited field-of-view of stereo camera systems. It guarantees obstacle-free flight in the absence of sensor and motor noise. We first analyze the strategy in simulation, and then show its robustness in real-world conditions by implementing it on a 20-gram flapping wing MAV.

description: Quantum annealing aims to exploit quantum mechanics to speed up the search for the solution to optimization problems. Most problems exhibit complete connectivity between the logical spin variables after they are mapped to the Ising spin Hamiltonian of quantum annealing. To account for hardware constraints of current and future physical quantum annealers, methods enabling the embedding of fully connected graphs of logical spins into a constant-degree graph of physical spins are therefore essential. Here, we compare the recently proposed embedding scheme for quantum annealing with all-to-all connectivity due to Lechner, Hauke and Zoller (LHZ) [Science Advances 1 (2015)] to the commonly used minor embedding (ME) scheme. Using both simulated quantum annealing and parallel tempering simulations, we find that for a set of instances randomly chosen from a class of fully connected, random Ising problems, the ME scheme outperforms the LHZ scheme when using identical simulation parameters, despite the fault tolerance of the latter to weakly correlated spin-flip noise. This result persists even after we introduce several decoding strategies for the LHZ scheme, including a minimum-weight decoding algorithm that results in substantially improved performance over the original LHZ scheme. We explain the better performance of the ME scheme in terms of more efficient spin updates, which allows it to better tolerate the correlated spin-flip errors that arise in our model of quantum annealing. Our results leave open the question of whether the performance of the two embedding schemes can be improved using scheme-specific parameters and new error correction approaches.

Creators: name: Lowbridge, John
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1971

description: This thesis is concerned with the synthesis of β-amino-acid peptides. The linear tripeptide of β-alanine, and some previously unknown derivatives, suitable for use in cyclisation reactions, have been prepared. Several methods of ring closure for the synthesis of the cyclo-trimer are described, and the derivative fully characterised for the first time. An investigation of possibly rapid methods of peptide synthesis has underlined the need for careful control of reaction conditions if 'backing-up' procedures are to be successful. Steric hindrance of the amino function of β-amino-isovaleric acid prevented peptide synthesis by usual procedures. Methods are described by which linear peptides of this amino-acid are available. The tripeptide was cyclised to the cyclo-trimer. The mass spectra of both cyclic derivatives, on which characterisation depends heavily, are discussed.

description: We show that the critical point of the two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model can be easily found through studies of either on-site atom number fluctuations or the nearest-neighbor two-point correlation function (the expectation value of the tunnelling operator). Our strategy to locate the critical point is based on the observation that the derivatives of these observables with respect to the parameter that drives the superfluid-Mott insulator transition are singular at the critical point in the thermodynamic limit. Performing the quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model, we show that this technique leads to the accurate determination of the position of its critical point. Our results can be easily extended to the three-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model and different Hubbard-like models. They provide a simple experimentally-relevant way of locating critical points in various cold atomic lattice systems.

description: Yıldırım has classified zeros of the derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions into trivial zeros, nontrivial zeros and vagrant zeros. In this paper we remove the possibility of vagrant zeros for $L'(s,χ)$ when the conductors are large to some extent. Then we improve asymptotic formulas for the number of zeros of $L'(s,χ)$ in $\{s\in\mathbb{C}:\operatorname{Re}(s)>0, |\operatorname{Im}(s)|\leq T\}$. We also establish analogues of Speiser's theorem, which characterize the generalized Riemann hypothesis for $L(s,χ)$ in terms of zeros of $L'(s,χ)$, when the conductor is large.

Identifying the production process of new physics at colliders; symmetric or asymmetric?

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose a class of kinematic variables, which is a smooth generalization of min-max type mass variables such as the Cambridge-$M_{T2}$ and $M_2$, for measuring a mass spectrum of intermediate resonances in a semi-invisibly decaying pair production. While kinematic endpoints of min-max type mass variables are only sensitive to a heavier resonance mass, kinematic endpoints of new variables are sensitive to all masses. These new mass variables can be used to resolve a mass spectrum, so that if the true mass spectrum is asymmetric, then the kinematic endpoints are separate while the endpoints are the same for the symmetric true mass spectrum. We demonstrate the behavior of kinematic endpoint of these new variables in pair production of two-body and three-body decays with one invisible particle.

description: To describe the transverse momentum spectrum of heavy color-singlet production, the joint resummation of threshold and transverse momentum logarithms is investigated. We obtain factorization theorems for various kinematic regimes valid to all orders in the strong coupling, using Soft-Collinear Effective Theory. We discuss how these enable resummation and how to combine regimes. The new ingredients in the factorization theorems are calculated at next-to-leading order, and a range of consistency checks is performed. Our framework goes beyond the current next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy (NLL).

description: In this paper, we analyze spontaneous parametric down conversion in a 2D slant strip type periodically poled planar waveguide and show that such a configuration has efficiencies higher than in the case of bulk crystals with the possibility of ease of collection like in channel waveguides with the additional feature of wavelength tunability. The proposed design should find applications in quantum processing using integrated quantum optics.

Topological boundary modes in jammed matter

description: Granular matter at the jamming transition is poised on the brink of mechanical stability, and hence it is possible that these random systems have topologically protected surface phonons. Studying two model systems for jammed matter, we find states that exhibit distinct mechanical topological classes, protected surface modes, and ubiquitous Weyl points. The detailed statistics of the boundary modes enable tests of a standard understanding of the detailed features of the jamming transition, and show that parts of this argument are invalid.
