description: My father was Charles Shepherd. My father married my Mum Marjorie in Buckingham because that's where she came from in 1936. Charles was born on the 17th November 1910. My mother's father was a goods clerk on the railway. And then they bought a house in Addison Road, Banbury, in 1936 and they both actually died in that house (Charles died in 1979). I was born in 1940. And my brother Anthony Charles Shepherd was born in 1942. He served in the Royal Corps of Signals. Before the War he was in the Post Office and his Uncle suggested he join the territorial army to earn more money. My father always wanted to fly. And he actually tried to go into the RAF, but for some reason they wouldn't accept him. I guess because he was in the post office they thought he'd be better off doing signals. He was called up and was posted to Dover Castle for the duration. Our Father got home a few times. I know he sort of hitchhiked a lot and got home whenever he could. He built me a doll's house which I still have made from bits of wood he found in Dover and he brought it home on his back. He built my brother a Fort. He made several toys because I suppose they had spare time.At the end of the War he went to Belgium doing signals work, because he brought us some lovely Christmas decorations from Belgium and Holland. When he came back, he went back into the post office and was there until he retired. He was counter clerk. And my brother did get his pilot’s licence but my father always wanted to fly. My father and my brother created this buff-coloured folder that looks like an official top secret dossier, filled with all the research they did about the work of the Royal Signals for the preparation of Operation Overlord, the D-Day landings and the Normandy invasion. It is dedicated to my sister-in-law's father. Copies were given to the family and sent to The Imperial War Museum.

description: Complex and correlated quantum systems with promise for new functionality often involve entwined electronic degrees of freedom. In such materials, highly unusual properties emerge and could be the result of electron localization. Here, a cubic heavy fermion metal governed by spins and orbitals is chosen as a model system for this physics. Its properties are found to originate from surprisingly simple low-energy behavior, with two distinct localization transitions driven by a single degree of freedom at a time. This result is unexpected, but we are able to understand it by advancing the notion of sequential destruction of an SU(4) spin-orbital-coupled Kondo entanglement. Our results implicate electron localization as a unified framework for strongly correlated materials and suggest ways to exploit multiple degrees of freedom for quantum engineering.

A chiral Lagrangian for excited pions

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We construct a chiral Lagrangian containing besides the usual pion field (pi) also its first radial excitation (pi'). The Lagrangian is derived by bosonization of a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio quark model with separable non-local interactions, with form factors corresponding to 3-dimensional ground and excited state wave functions. Chiral symmetry breaking is governed by the NJL gap equation. The effective Lagrangian for pi- and pi'-mesons shows the decoupling of the Goldstone pion and the vanishing of the pi' leptonic decay constant, f_pi', in the chiral limit, as required by axial current conservation. We derive the excited states' contribution to the axial current of the model using Noether's theorem. For finite pion mass and pi' masses in the range of 750 MeV -- 1300 MeV, f_pi' / f_pi is found to be of the order of 1 percent.

Impact of azimuthal forcing on the Brillouin limit in a collisional two-species Ohkawa filter
Creators: name: Nicolas, Timothée
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper investigates the physics of plasma separation in a two species rotating collisional Ohkawa filter, when the source of rotation is an orbital angular momentum carrying wave. The electric field is treated self-consistently with ion and electron radial motion. The injection of angular momentum causes radial currents leading to charge penetration and electric field build up. The electric field varies until an equilibrium with the friction forces is reached. Both collisions with neutrals and Coulomb collisions are considered. In the case where the electric field is driven by the resonant wave, there is no collisional breakdown of the Brillouin limit [Rax et al., Phys. Plasmas 22, 092101 (2015)]; on the contrary, the maximum achievable electric field decreases when the collision frequency is increased. When two species are present, one that undergoes the wave forcing while the second does not interact with the wave, we find the following: the first species is confined, while the second species can be expelled or confined depending on the charge to mass ratio and the collisionalities. Assuming equal charge numbers, if the second species is the heavy one, it is always expelled, which is a standard result. When the second species is the light one, it can also be expelled in the common case where neutral collisions dominate over Coulomb collisions, which constitutes a new result.

description: We report on a combined study of the de Haas-van Alphen effect and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy on single crystals of the metallic delafossite PdRhO$_2$ rounded off by \textit{ab initio} band structure calculations. A high sensitivity torque magnetometry setup with SQUID readout and synchrotron-based photoemission with a light spot size of $~50\,μ\mathrm{m}$ enabled high resolution data to be obtained from samples as small as $150\times100\times20\,(μ\mathrm{m})^3$. The Fermi surface shape is nearly cylindrical with a rounded hexagonal cross section enclosing a Luttinger volume of 1.00(1) electrons per formula unit.

AdS/CFT in Fractional Dimension and Higher Spin Gravity at One Loop

description: Large-$N$, $ε$-expansion or the conformal bootstrap allow one to make sense of some of conformal field theories in non-integer dimension, which suggests that AdS/CFT may also extend to fractional dimensions. It was shown recently that the sphere free energy and the $a$-anomaly coefficient of the free scalar field can be reproduced as a one-loop effect in the dual higher-spin theory in a number of integer dimensions. We extend this result to all integer and also to fractional dimensions. Upon changing the boundary conditions in the higher-spin theory the sphere free energy of the large-$N$ Wilson-Fisher CFT can also be reproduced from the higher-spin side.

The Observational Consequences of Merging Clusters of Galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present an observational analysis of numerical simulations of galaxy cluster mergers. We identify several observational signatures of recent merger activity, and quantitatively assess the uncertainty introduced into cluster mass estimates when invoking the commonly held assumptions of hydrostatic equilibrium, virial equilibrium, spherical symmetry and isothermality. We find that mergers result in multiple X-ray peaks, long-lived elongation of the X-ray emission as well as isophotal twisting and centroid shifting to a degree consistent with recent observations. We also find an enlargement of the X-ray core relative to the dark matter core. Mergers result in non-isothermal clusters exhibiting observable inhomogeneities in the emission-weighted X-ray temperature of several keV on linear scales of less than 0.5 Mpc. The resulting gas dynamics are extremely complex, and we present an example of what might be observed by a high resolution X-ray spectrograph. We further speculate that the gas dynamics, via shocks, bulk flows and turbulence, play an important role in the evolution of cluster galaxies and associated radio sources, particularly wide-angle tailed (WAT) sources and radio halos. We find that X-ray based by cluster mass estimates made under equilibrium assumptions can be uncertain 50\% or more in the first 2 Gyrs after a merger and by up to 25\% after 2 Gyrs depending on the details of the analysis and projection effects. Uncertainties can be considerably larger if the temperature is not well constrained.

Electron–Vibron Interaction Effects on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Current through Melamine Adsorbed on Cu(100)

Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 51

description: Electron transport through the melamine molecule was studied. Melamine molecules adsorbed on a Cu(100) surface were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations with the dynamical matrix method. On the basis of calculation results, a model Hamiltonian for a system composed of scanning tunneling microscope (STM), a melamine molecule, and a Cu surface was proposed, taking into account electron–vibron (electron–molecular vibrations) interactions within the melamine molecule. Then, the electronic current was formulated by the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method. Results show that current is affected by the electron–vibron interactions defined in the melamine molecule through its controllable structural changes. The rectification and fluctuation of current are triggered by low-energy electron–vibron interactions. Furthermore, the electron–vibron interaction effect is found to be enhanced as temperature increases to where higher-energy vibrons begin to be excited at lower energies. However, current becomes uniform at higher temperatures, which shows an undesired sensitivity. The weakening of the electron–vibron interaction of the out-of-molecular-plane vibrational motion can transfer the melamine molecule in its tautomerization state into a current rectifier. The reduction or induction of the repulsion of lone pairs of consecutive N atoms causes the induction or reduction of the low-energy in-plane vibrational motion, which in turn causes the switching of the I – V characteristics between less stable melamine tautomers.

description: After returning from Burma, having been away for 3.5 years, my father was posted to Hameln / Hannover as an EDO - Executive Demolition Officer.Being a Sapper with, by now, extensive wartime experience of demolition, UXB's and explosives in general, his job was to demolish the substantial Nazi infrastructure and ensure it could never be put to use again.As he put it "we made a lot of big bangs". He also took many interesting photographs and kept the scale plans of the structures to be demolished, which detailed how much explosive was to be placed and at which locations. Some were filled 2/3 with water to make use of the larger shock wave this would create.In the 1970s I discovered a roll of b/w film in a bureau, developed it - wondering what might appear - and it proved to be photographs of these buildings. An interesting conversation followed. In the 80's a scheme was announced to compensate those who fought in the war for their deafness, and he was certainly one such. I obtained the forms, explained the process and left him to fill them in and submit.On a visit home some months later I asked if he heard anything back, only to be told that the forms were in the drawer where I had left them. When asked why he had not claimed, he replied simply "I was just doing my job".I knew, and he knew - we all knew that there might be a scheme, but he did not really approve of it and was not going to play ball !The photos and documents below are mostly those which came to light only last year (2024) as we finally got to make a start on "sorting the loft". An exciting find for us as we had never seen them before.Also of interest and a puzzle is that I can find no information at all, anywhere about the role of EDO's. The RE museum had not heard of them and searching the internet draws a complete blank. Even ChatGPT find nothing, suggesting there is nothing on the WWW.I have his posting order which clearly states EDO, but have not been able to relate this to either BAOR or the Control Commission Germany, despite searching a number of books on the subject.The search goes on - it is likely that there were a number of EDO's, given the size of the task.
The holonomy groupoid of a singular foliation

description: We construct the holonomy groupoid of any singular foliation. In the regular case this groupoid coincides with the usual holonomy groupoid of Winkelnkemper (1983); the same holds in the singular cases of Bigonnet and Pradines (1985) and Debord (2001), which from our point of view can be thought of as being "almost regular". In the general case, the holonomy groupoid can be quite an ill behaved geometric object. On the other hand it often has a nice longitudinal smooth structure. Nonetheless, we use this groupoid to generalize to the singular case Connes' construction of the C*-algebra of the foliation. We also outline the construction of a longitudinal pseudo-differential calculus; the analytic index of a longitudinally elliptic operator takes place in the K-theory of our C*-algebra. In our construction, the key notion is that of a bi-submersion which plays the role of a local Lie groupoid defining the foliation. Our groupoid is the quotient of germs of these bi-submersions with respect to an appropriate equivalence relation.

Physical constraints on the sizes of dense clouds in the central magnetospheres of Active Galactic Nuclei

Year: 1996

description: The range of microphysical and global dynamical timescales in the central regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is sufficiently wide to permit the existence of multiphase structure. In particular, very dense, cool clouds can coexist with a hot, magnetically-dominated medium and can thereby efficiently reprocess the continuum radiation generated in this primary source region. The strong dynamical forces in this central magnetosphere can give rise to extremely small clouds. Microphysical processes then determine whether such clouds can indeed survive, in spite of their extremely contrasting properties relative to the surrounding environment, for long enough to produce potentially observable thermal reprocessing signatures. We examine specific physical constraints on the thicknesses of such reprocessing clouds. Our results are plotted to show the range of conditions that is representative of the central regions of AGN. We find a parameter subspace in the extreme high density regime for which the effects of microphysical diffusion processes can be overcome and for which cool gas can maintain pressure equilibrium with the ambient magnetosphere.

Classical Field Dynamics of the Electroweak Phase Transition

description: We investigate the thermodynamics and dynamics of the electroweak phase transition by modelling the infrared physics with classical Yang-Mills Higgs theory. We discuss the accuracy of this approach and conclude that, for quantities whose determination is dominated by the infrared, the classical method should be correct up to parametrically suppressed (ie O(alpha)) corrections. For a Higgs self-coupling which at tree level corresponds to m_H ~ 50 GeV, we determine the jump in the order parameter to be delta phi = 1.5 gT, the surface tension to be sigma = 0.07 g^4 T^3, and the friction coefficient on the moving bubble wall due to infrared bosons to be η= P/v_w = 0.03 \pm .004 g^6 T^4. We also investigate the response of Chern-Simons number to a spatially uniform chemical potential and find that it falls off a short distance inside the bubble wall, both in equilibrium and below the equilibrium temperature.

description: Statistical tests of pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) are applicable to any type of random number generators and are indispensable for evaluation. While several practical packages for statistical tests of randomness exist, they may suffer from a lack of reliability: for some tests, the amount of approximation error can be deemed significant. Reducing this error by finding a better approximation is necessary, but it generally requires an enormous amount of effort. In this paper, we introduce an experimental method for revealing defects in statistical tests by using a three-level test proposed by Okutomi and Nakamura. In particular, we investigate the NIST test suite and the test batteries in TestU01, which are widely used statistical packages. Furthermore, we show the efficiency of several modifications for some tests.

description: When the USSR invaded Poland in 1939, Stalin ordered the deportation of anyone he perceived as posing a threat. Since my grandfather was a forest worker with an excellent knowledge of the vast forests of the Bialystok area, he was deported along with his family. My mother recalls a particular night not long after the Russians invaded when the NKVD arrived and gave the family two hours to pack. My grandmother got talking to a young soldier who was detailed to stand guard. She made some hot milk to warm him up. When she asked the NKVD officer what she would need to take, he said not to worry about taking anything as where they were going was a paradise where everything would be supplied. On hearing this, the young soldier pulled my grandmother to one side and told her to take everything that was warm.They were deported in cattle trucks to Arkhangelsk in the Arctic Circle. While they spent a year in the gulag, they had a number of different experiences. The weather was such that people died by being stranded in snow. They saw the evil of the Soviet system and how it dehumanised the ordinary people, with whom my mother describes having good relations.They were freed when there was an amnesty following Operation Barbarossa. On hearing of the formation of a Polish Army under General Anders, my mother's brother joined the Polish Army. Because of this, the family was evacuated from Russia, and my mother was sent to refugee camps in Karachi, British India, and Lusaka, Zambia. My uncle joined General Maczek's armoured division and fought in Europe, taking part in the fighting for the Falaise Gap in Normandy. He was wounded in Holland whilst rescuing a comrade from a burning tank, which was then hit by another shell.

description: We discuss the appropriate normalization of modes required to generate a homogeneous random field in an open Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. We consider scalar random fields and certain tensor random fields that can be obtained by covariantly differentiating a scalar. Modes of interest fall into three categories: the familiar sub-curvature modes, the more recently discussed super-curvature modes, and a set of discrete modes with positive eigenvalues which can be used to generate homogeneous tensor random fields even though the underlying scalar field is not homogeneous. A particular example of the last case which has been discussed in the literature is the bubble wall fluctuation in open inflationary universes.

Expert decision evaluation

description: Accurately assessing workers’ decision quality is fundamental for management, and the efficiency of expert and crowd-sourcing markets. This paper establishes novel ML and AI methods to accurately evaluate workers’ decision accuracy and bias with scarce ground truth (GT or gold standard GS) data, and to further improve accuracy assessment through costly effectively acquiring GT if given an acquisition budget. Without the proposed methods, assessing workers’ decision quality typically requires GT data to compare with workers’ noisy decisions. However, GT is often prohibitively costly to acquire for even a small fraction of each worker’s decisions. For example, physicians may determine a diagnosis and initiate a treatment, yet the correct decision, such as the one that can be established by a panel of physicians. Consequently, in practice, there is often poor transparency regarding physicians’ decision quality. In my dissertation, I collaborating with my coauthors developed the groundwork for achieving scalable and inexpensive assessments of workers’ decision accuracy and bias. The empirical results show that the decision accuracy assessment with very limited GT improves the best available approach by 60% to 93%; my bias assessment produces either comparable to or outperforms the commonly used existing approach; my cost-effective GT acquisition strategy applied in Amazon Mechanical Workers’ accuracy assessment achieves the same performance only using 1/3 of the GT or improve the assessment by 24%. All proposed methods have significant implications in many impactful domains including health care, fraud detection, fact checking, and online labor markets. The methods proposed in this dissertation address the problem of estimating workers’ decision accuracy and bias from historical data with scarcely available ground truth, and achieve the state of the art performance. This dissertation lays the groundwork towards increasing transparency in workers’ (sources’) decision quality.

description: We consider the projectivization of Minkowski space with the analytic continuation of the hyperbolic metric and call this an extended hyperbolic space. We can measure the volume of a domain lying across the boundary of the hyperbolic space using an analytic continuation argument. In this paper we show this method can be further generalized to find the volume of a domain with smooth boundary with suitable regularity in dimension 2 and 3. We also discuss that this volume is invariant under the group of hyperbolic isometries and that this regularity condition is sharp.

description: We prove that the Weisfeiler-Leman (WL) dimension of the class of all finite planar graphs is at most 3. In particular, every finite planar graph is definable in first-order logic with counting using at most 4 variables. The previously best known upper bounds for the dimension and number of variables were 14 and 15, respectively. First we show that, for dimension 3 and higher, the WL-algorithm correctly tests isomorphism of graphs in a minor-closed class whenever it determines the orbits of the automorphism group of any arc-colored 3-connected graph belonging to this class. Then we prove that, apart from several exceptional graphs (which have WL-dimension at most 2), the individualization of two correctly chosen vertices of a colored 3-connected planar graph followed by the 1-dimensional WL-algorithm produces the discrete vertex partition. This implies that the 3-dimensional WL-algorithm determines the orbits of a colored 3-connected planar graph. As a byproduct of the proof, we get a classification of the 3-connected planar graphs with fixing number 3.

Really Cool Stars at the Galactic Center

description: New and existing K-band spectra for 19 Galactic center late-type stars have been analyzed along with representative spectra of disk and bulge M giants and supergiants. Absorption strengths for strong atomic and molecular features have been measured. The Galactic center stars generally exhibit stronger absorption features centered near Na I (2.206 mic) and Ca I (2.264 mic) than representative disk M stars at the same CO absorption strength. Based on the absolute K-band magnitudes and CO and H2O absorption strengths for the Galactic center stars and known M supergiants and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, we conclude that only IRS 7 must be a supergiant. Two other bright stars in our Galactic center sample are likely supergiants as well. The remaining bright, cool stars in the Galactic center that we have observed are most consistent with being intermediate mass/age AGB stars. We identify four of the Galactic center stars as long period variables based on their K-band spectral properties and associated photometric variability. Estimates of initial masses and ages for the GC stars suggest multiple epochs of star formation have occurred in the Galactic center over the last 7-100 Myr.

description: We have searched for the stars that either encountered in the past or will encounter in the future with the Solar system closer than 2 pc. For this purpose, we took more than 216 000 stars with the measured proper motions and trigonometric parallaxes from the Gaia DR1 catalogue and their radial velocities from the RAVE5 catalogue. We have found several stars for which encounters closer than 1 pc are possible. The star GJ 710, for which the minimum distance is d_m=0.063+/-0.044 pc at time t_m=1385+/-52 thousand years, is the record-holder among them. Two more stars, TYC 8088-631-1 and TYC 6528-980-1, whose encounter parameters, however, are estimated with large errors, are of interest.

Bounds from $t \bar t$ production on R-parity violating models of supersymmetry

description: We study $t \bar t$ production in R-parity violating supersymmetry. The annihilation channel $q \bar q \rightarrow t \bar t$ gets new contributions from $t$-channel exchange of squarks or sleptons. With the data from Tevatron on $t \bar t$ production, we find that the squark- or slepton-exchange processes constrain the $B$-violating $λ''$ couplings or the $L$-violating $λ'$ couplings, respectively. Our bounds are already comparable to the few existing constraints on third-generation $R$-parity violating couplings, and will improve when more precise measurements of the $t \bar t$ production cross-section become available. We also discuss the effects of these couplings for top production at the LHC.

description: Linares et al. (2016) obtained quasi-simultaneous g', r' and i-band light curves and an absorption line radial velocity curve of the secondary star in the redback system 3FGL J0212.1+5320. The light curves showed two maxima and minima primarily due to the secondary star's ellipsoidal modulation, but with unequal maxima and minima. We fit these light curves and radial velocities with our X-ray binary model including either a dark solar-type star spot or a hot spot due to off-centre heating from an intrabinary shock, to account for the unequal maxima. Both models give a radial velocity semi-amplitude and rotational broadening that agree with the observations. The observed secondary star's effective temperature is best matched with the value obtained using the hot spot model, which gives a neutron star and secondary star mass of $M_{\rm 1}$=1.85$^{+0.32}_{-0.26}$ $M_{\odot}$and $M_{\rm 2}$=0.50$^{+0.22}_{-0.19}$ $M_{\odot}$, respectively.

description: The pursuit of reliable and high-energy storage devices with enhanced safety has attracted significant research interest in recent decades. Alkali metals like lithium and sodium have shown promise as anode materials but suffer from limitations such as dendrite growth and interfacial instability, which pose safety risks and hinder their widespread applications. To overcome these challenges, an anode-free battery (AFB) design offers increased energy density and enhanced safety. However, AFBs often experience rapid capacity decay due to the lack of a reservoir for active ion loss during cycling. Additionally, solid-state batteries utilizing non-flammable inorganic solid electrolytes address safety concerns and potentially provide higher energy density but face interfacial obstacles such as dendrite growth and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). This dissertation focuses on microstructural design of stable interphases to address the interfacial challenges and improve the performance of alkali-metal and anode-free batteries. To start with, electrochemically stable intermetallics are introduced as effective coating layers on copper foam current collectors, improving metal wetting and subsequent cycling. Unlike conventional alloys, the introduced intermetallics (Na₂Te and Na₂S) do not undergo reversible alloying – dealloying reactions that cause remarkable volumetric change, therefore enhancing mechanical integrity throughout the cycling process. Building upon this design strategy, the dissertation further investigates the application of intermetallic coatings in solid-state electrolyte systems. A thin layer of Li₂Te intermetallic coating is fabricated onto commercial copper foil current collectors, which significantly reduces the electrodeposition/electrodissolution overpotentials, improves Coulombic efficiency (CE), and enables stable cycling of anode-free all-solid-state batteries. Additionally, this dissertation introduces a novel metallurgical composite composed of ternary sodium-antimony-tellurium (NST) intermetallic, which demonstrates remarkable sodiophilic properties, effectively facilitating uniform sodium electrodeposition and electrodissolution for enhanced cycling stability. An anode-free cell consisting of an NST-coated current collector and Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ (NVP) cathode demonstrates significantly improved cycling performance compared to using a baseline copper collector. In this dissertation, various state-of-the-art characterization techniques are utilized to investigate the microstructural evolution occurring at interfaces, offering new insights into the intricate connection between wetting behavior and electrochemical performance. Furthermore, multidimensional modelling and simulation approaches are employed to gain a further understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
