Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: New design of silicon stripixel sensor has been developed at BNL for PHENIX upgrade. The sensor is a single-sided, DC-coupled, two dimensional position sensitive device with good position resolution. This design is simpler for sensor fabrication and signal processing than the conventional double-sided strip sensor. HPK has produced pre-production stripixel sensors with thickness of 625 um. The quality assurance tests show that the very low leakage current 0.12 nA per strip allows the use of the SVX4 chip. A long term stability test shows that the leakage current is stable over a long period of time. The study of the effects of irradiation on the performance of the stripixel sensor has been made using p+p collisions at 200 GeV at PHENIX, 14 MeV neutron and 20 MeV proton beams.

description: Introducción: En las últimas décadas, el consumo de los alimentos ultraprocesados ha aumentado exponencialmente, contribuyendo con el más del 50% de energía ingerida en las personas. La accesibilidad de estos productos con sus características de fácil preparación, resultan ser una factible opción de consumo y preferencia para la población en general. Objetivo identificar la relación del elevado consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados con los niveles de presión arterial en adultos de 18-60 años. Método: se siguieron los criterios PRISMA para identificar los artículos que cumplieran con los criterios establecidos en la base de datos PubMed, con la elaboración de una pregunta PICO. Resultados: sugieren que a un mayor consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados se aumentaba significativamente el riesgo de hipertensión en los adultos, por tanto, en adultos de 18-60 años el elevado consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados está relacionado con altos niveles de presión arterial. Conclusiones: se necesitan estudios futuros para explorar el efecto del consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados sobre los niveles de presión arterial, ya que, el efecto de los alimentos ultraprocesados en la salud y en la presión arterial puede ser resultado acumulativo durante un largo período de tiempo de una dieta rica en alimentos ultraprocesados

description: Introducción: Los suelos agrícolas del DR028 están contaminados con metales pesados, principalmente por el uso de aguas residuales para su riego. Los suelos mencionados tienen una concentración media de 0.90 mg/kg de plomo en extracto de saturación, esto representa un riesgo de salud pública inminente, por los daños hematológicos y renales asociados a la exposición a este metal por vía oral y respiratoria. Métodos y materiales: Se calculó el riesgo toxicológico específico para 18 pobladores (9 hombres y 9 mujeres), se tomaron muestras de sangre venosa periférica para determinar la concentración de plomo en sangre (plumbemia), por medio de voltamperometría de redisolución anódica. Se realizó una correlación de Pearson para identificar la concordancia de las variables. Resultados: El coeficiente de correlación calculado (r), fue de: 0.96985, lo que indica una correlación positiva entre las variables, a mayor riesgo toxicológico individual calculado, hay mayor riesgo sanitario real (concentración de plomo en sangre). Conclusión: El método matemático propuesto por la OPS/OMS y la ATSDR de evaluación de riesgos por sustancias químicas puede ser un indicador fiable en la predicción y estimación de riesgos para la salud humana.

Robust and stochastic compliance-based topology optimization with finitely many loading scenarios

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Computational Engineering, Finance, and Science (cs.CE)

description: In this paper, the problem of load uncertainty in compliance problems is addressed where the uncertainty is described in the form of a set of finitely many loading scenarios. Computationally more efficient methods are proposed to exactly evaluate and differentiate: 1) the mean compliance, or 2) any scalar-valued function of the individual load compliances such as the weighted sum of the mean and standard deviation. The computational time complexities of all the proposed algorithms are analyzed, compared with the naive approaches and then experimentally verified. Finally, a mean compliance minimization problem, a risk-averse compliance minimization problem and a maximum compliance constrained problem are solved to showcase the efficacy of the proposed algorithms. The maximum compliance constrained problem is solved using the augmented Lagrangian method and the method proposed for handling scalar-valued functions of the load compliances, where the scalar-valued function is the augmented Lagrangian function.

description: A Rota-Baxter operator of weight $λ$ is an abstraction of both the integral operator (when $λ=0$) and the summation operator (when $λ=1$). We similarly define a differential operator of weight $λ$ that includes both the differential operator (when $λ=0$) and the difference operator (when $λ=1$). We further consider an algebraic structure with both a differential operator of weight $λ$ and a Rota-Baxter operator of weight $λ$ that are related in the same way that the differential operator and the integral operator are related by the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. We construct free objects in the corresponding categories. In the commutative case, the free objects are given in terms of generalized shuffles, called mixable shuffles. In the noncommutative case, the free objects are given in terms of angularly decorated rooted forests. As a byproduct, we obtain structures of a differential algebra on decorated and undecorated planar rooted forests.

description: The metal-insulator transition (MIT) of BaVS3 is suppressed under pressure and above the critical pressure of p~2GPa the metallic phase is stabilized. We present the results of detailed magnetoresistivity measurements carried out at pressures near the critical value, in magnetic fields up to B=12T. We found that slightly below the critical pressure the structural tetramerization -- which drives the MIT -- is combined with the onset of magnetic correlations. If the zero-field transition temperature is suppressed to a sufficiently low value (T_MI<15K), the system can be driven into the metallic state by application of magnetic field. The main effect is not the reduction of T_MI with increasing B, but rather the broadening of the transition due to the applied magnetic field. We tentatively ascribe this phenomenon to the influence on the magnetic structure coupled to the bond-order of the tetramers.

description: We design a multiferroic metal that combines seemingly incompatible ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, and metallicity by hole doping a two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric with high density of states near the Fermi level. The strong magnetoelectric effect is demonstrated in hole-doped and arsenic-doped monolayer α-In2Se3 using first-principles calculations. Taking advantage of the oppositely charged surfaces created by an out-of-plane polarization, the 2D magnetization and metallicity can be electrically switched on and off in an asymmetrically doped monolayer. The substitutional arsenic defect pair exhibits an intriguing electric field-tunable charge disproportionation process accompanied with an on-off switch of local magnetic moments. The charge ordering process can be controlled by tuning the relative strength of on-site Coulomb repulsion and defect dipole-polarization coupling via strain engineering. Our design principle relying on no transition metal broadens the materials design space for 2D multiferroic metals.

description: We investigate whether a class of models describing F-theory compactifications admits a specific type of flux vacua with an exponentially small vacuum expectation value of the superpotential, by generalizing a method recently developed in Type IIB flux compactifications. First we clarify that a restricted choice of $G_4$-flux components reduces a general flux superpotential into a simple form, which promotes the existence of supersymmetric vacua with one flat direction at the perturbative level. Then we utilize the techniques of mirror symmetry to determine one-instanton corrections to the potential and investigate in detail the vacuum solutions of a particular model.

description: We analyze the propagation of high-frequency gravitational waves (GW) in scalar-tensor theories of gravity, with the aim of examining properties of cosmological distances as inferred from GW measurements. By using symmetry principles, we first determine the most general structure of the GW linearized equations and of the GW energy momentum tensor, assuming that GW move with the speed of light. Modified gravity effects are encoded in a small number of parameters, and we study the conditions for ensuring graviton number conservation in our covariant set-up. We then apply our general findings to the case of GW propagating through a perturbed cosmological space-time, deriving the expressions for the GW luminosity distance $d_L^{({\rm GW})}$ and the GW angular distance $d_A^{({\rm GW})}$. We prove for the first time the validity of Etherington reciprocity law $d_L^{({\rm GW})}\,=\,(1+z)^2\,d_A^{({\rm GW})}$ for a perturbed universe within a scalar-tensor framework. We find that besides the GW luminosity distance, also the GW angular distance can be modified with respect to General Relativity. We discuss implications of this result for gravitational lensing, focussing on time-delays of lensed GW and lensed photons emitted simultaneously during a multimessenger event. We explicitly show how modified gravity effects compensate between different coefficients in the GW time-delay formula: lensed GW arrive at the same time as their lensed electromagnetic counterparts, in agreement with causality constraints.

The WSRT virgo filament survey

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In the last few years the realization has emerged that the universal baryons are almost equally distributed by mass in three components: (1) galactic concentrations, (2) a warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) and (3) a diffuse intergalactic medium. These three components are predicted by hydrodynamical simulations and are probed by QSO absorption lines. To observe the WHIM in neutral hydrogen, observations are needed which are deeper than log(N$_{HI}$)=18. The WHIM should appear as a Cosmic Web, underlying the galaxies with higher column densities. We have used the WSRT, to simulate a filled aperture by observing at very high hour angles, to reach very high column density sensitivity. To achieve even higher image fidelity, an accurate model of the WSRT primary beam was developed. This will be used in the joint deconvolution of the observations. To get a good overview of the distribution and kinematics of the Cosmic Web, a deep survey of 1500 square degrees of sky was undertaken, containing the galaxy filament extending between the Local Group and the Virgo Cluster. The auto-correlation data has been reduced and has an RMS of $ΔN_{HI} = 4.2\times10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$ over 20 kms$^{-1}$. Several sources have been tentatively detected, which were previously unknown, as well as an indication for diffuse intergalactic filaments.

Leaks of CP violation in the real two-Higgs doublet model

description: We discuss the $Z_2$ symmetric two Higgs doublet model with a real soft breaking term (real 2HDM). We explain in detail why it is not tenable to assume CP conservation in the scalar sector to keep the dimension two term real, while CP is violated by the dimension four Yukawa couplings. We propose the calculation of the infinite tadpole of the (would-be) pseudoscalar neutral scalar. We construct a simple toy model with the same flaws, where the unrenormalizable infinity is easier to calculate. We then turn our attention to the same tadpole in the real 2HDM. We spearhead this effort focusing on diagrams involving solely bare quantities. This involves hundreds of Feynman three-loop diagrams that could feed the CP violation from the quark into the scalar sector, and is only possible with state of the art automatic computation tools. Remarkably, some intermediate results agree when using three independent derivations, including the peculiar cancellation of the leading pole divergence due to a subtle interplay between masses and the Jarlskog invariant, which we calculate analytically. The calculation is not complete however, since the full two-loop renormalization of the real 2HDM is not yet available in the literature. Still, we argue convincingly that there is an irremovable infinity.

description: Οι βασικοί στόχοι ενός περιβάλλοντος διαχείρισης δικτύων είναι (α) η τυποποίηση της διαχείρισης των δικτύων υπολογιστών, (β) η διατήρηση μιας ικανοποιητικής και αξιόπιστης λειτουργίας, ακόμη και κάτω από συνθήκες υπερφόρτωσης ή βλάβης, καθώς επίσης και κάτω από αλλαγές της διαμόρφωσης του δικτύου και (γ) η βελτίωση της απόδοσης του δικτύου, η οποία σχετίζεται με την ποιότητα και την ποσότητα των υπηρεσιών, που παρέχονται στους χρήστες. Είναι προφανές ότι ένα εκτεταμένο και σύνθετο δίκτυο, είναι δύσκολο (ή και αδύνατο) να διαχειρισθεί, με μόνη την ανθρώπινη προσπάθεια. Η πολυπλοκότητα των σύγχρονων δικτύων, καθιστά αναγκαία τη χρήση ενός περιβάλλοντος διαχείρισης. Το γεγονός αυτό, οδηγεί στην ανάγκη-απαίτηση για ανάπτυξη κατάλληλων <<εργαλείων>> δημιουργίας και διαχείρισης δικτύων όπως είναι το GNS3 της Cisco. Σκοπός της μεταπτυχιακής διατριβής είναι η ανάλυση και η επίλυση εργαστηριακών ασκήσεων από προπτυχιακούς φοιτητές. Οι εργαστηριακές ασκήσεις έχουν δημιουργηθεί με σκοπό οι φοιτητές να ενταχθούν ομαλά στο γραφικό προσομοιωτή δικτύων GNS3. Το επίπεδο των ασκήσεων είναι τέτοιο, ώστε να καταφέρουν οι προπτυχιακοί φοιτητές να ανταπεξέλθουν στις απαιτήσεις και ταυτόχρονα να καταφέρουν να αναπτύξουν τις δικές τους δεξιότητες. Θα μπορέσουν να κατανοήσουν πως λειτουργούν τα δίκτυα (βασικές γνώσεις), τι προβλήματα μπορεί να υπάρξουν, τρόποι επίλυσης των προβλημάτων, την πολυπλοκότητα των δικτύων και τέλος την ικανοποίηση του να καταφέρουν να υλοποιήσουν το δικό τους δίκτυο
description: The main goals of a network management environment are (a) to standardize computer network management (b) to maintain a satisfactory and reliable operation, even under overload or failure conditions, as well as changes in network configuration and (c) improving the performance of the network, which is related to the quality and quantity of services provided to users. It is obvious that an extensive and complex network is difficult (or impossible) to manage, with the human effort alone. The complexity of modern networks makes it necessary to use a management environment. This leads to the need to develop appropriate networking tools such as Cisco GNS3. The purpose of the postgraduate dissertation is to analyze and solve laboratory exercises from undergraduate students. Laboratory exercises are designed to help students integrate smoothly into the GNS3 network simulator. The level of such exercises is to manage undergraduate students to cope with the demands and still manage to develop their own skills. They will be able to understand how networks work (basic knowledge), what problems may be, ways of solving problems, the complexity of networks and finally the satisfaction to be able to implement their own network
Quark masses and mixings in E6 x S3 : a montecarlo approach

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

description: Recently in arXiv:hep-ph/0510321 has been proposed a GUT model for fermion masses and mixings with spontaneously broken S3 discrete flavor symmetry, where S_3 is the permutation group of three objects. The S3 breaking pattern in the quark sector is not studied and need further investigation. Since in such a model the number of free parameters is greater than the number of experimental observables, an analytical fit of all the parameters is impossible. To go forward with the model building and to deal with this problem we have used a statistical analysis. We have found that S3 is totally broken and the up-type quarks matrix is approximatively diagonal while down-type quarks matrixis not symmetric and it is parametrized by three couplings, gd, gLd and g3d. It has been found that gLd is slightly smaller than gd=1 and it is of order one, while g3d \sim l^3 where l is the Cabibbo angle. An analytical study of the dependence of Vcb and Vub from the couplings gLd and g3d is also presented.

description: We study $\widehat{\text{CGHS}}$ gravity, a variant of the matterless Callan-Giddings-Harvey-Strominger model. We show that it describes a universal sector of the near horizon perturbations of non-extremal black holes in higher dimensions. In many respects this theory can be viewed as a flat space analog of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. The result for the Euclidean path integral implies that $\widehat{\text{CGHS}}$ is dual to a Gaussian ensemble that we describe in detail. The simplicity of this theory allows us to compute exact quantities such as the quenched free energy and provides a useful playground to study baby universes, averages and factorization. We also give evidence for the existence of a non-perturbative completion in terms of a matrix model. Finally, flat wormhole solutions are discussed.

Bridgepoint Market : an application of No Net Loss

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis undertakes an examination and assessment of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans application of No Net Loss of Fish Habitat at the Bridgepoint Market Development in Richmond, British Columbia. Of specific interest is the process through which No Net Loss was applied. The approach used in this study is essentially empirical, drawing upon more than 120 documents, supplemented by interviews with ten individuals having direct knowledge of the case. Using this information, a detailed descriptive account is provided of what occurred and in what context, who was involved, and what the major outcomes were. An analytical framework based on Fisher and Ury's theory of Principled Negotiation is developed and used as a standard against which to assess the Bridgepoint case. Based on this assessment it was concluded that although progress was made in achieving a number of significant agreements over the four year exchange, it was also apparent that these outcomes were, for the most part, derived through concessions to positional bargaining rather than through the employment of principles which have been shown to improve the likelihood of reaching a fair, equitable, and efficient agreement. Three key recommendations were made in the thesis. The first, is that the four principles of separating the people from the problem, inventing options for mutual gain, insisting on objective criteria, and focusing on interests not positions, should be employed in most negotiations over the application of No Net Loss of fish habitat. Second, consideration should be given to building in to the No Net Loss process, provisions to allow for qualified third party intervention to assist in the negotiations. Third, DFO's hierarchy of preferences for evaluating development applications should be replaced with a non-hierarchical system that permits rejection of proposals at an early stage in the process.

We compute the classical time delay for the scattering of two dyonic magnons carrying angular momenta with arbitrary relative orientation on the S^5.

description: The present thesis is an annotated translation of the comics “Aya de Yopougon” by the Ivorian writer Marguerite Abouet. Its aim is to highlight the general and specific features of comics, its translation as well as to examine the lexical, morphosyntactic, pragmatic and technical translation difficulties that arrive during the process of translation, under a translatological point of view. Abouet’s work is characterized by a theatrical, prosaic, and everyday speech. This fact, along with a great number of African lexical and cultural elements it contains, renders it a translation challenge. In parallel, it enables the examination of a non-Western civilization while it interacts with the Greek one.

description: Recently discovered photonic higher-order topological insulators enable unprecedented flexibility in the robust localization of light in structures of different dimensionality. While the potential of the two-dimensional systems is currently under active investigation, only a few studies explore the physics of the three-dimensional higher-order topological insulators. Here we propose a three-dimensional structure with cubic symmetry exhibiting vanishing bulk polarization but nonzero corner charge and hosting a zero-dimensional corner state mediated by the long-range interactions. We trace the evolution of the corner state with the next-nearest-neighbor coupling strength and prove the topological origin of the corner mode calculating the associated topological invariants. Our results thus reveal the potential of long-range couplings for the formation of three-dimensional higher-order topological phases.

description: Results of photometric surveys have brought to light the existence of a population of giant planets orbiting their host stars even closer than the hot Jupiters (HJ), with orbital periods below 3 days. The reason why radial velocity surveys were not able to detect these very-hot Jupiters (VHJ) is under discussion. A possible explanation is that these close-in planets are short-lived, being evaporated on short time-scales due to UV flux of their host stars. In this case, stars hosting transiting VHJ planets would be systematically younger than those in the radial velocity sample. We have used the UVES spectrograph (VLT-UT2 telescope) to obtain high resolution spectra of 5 faint stars hosting transiting planets, namely, OGLE-TR-10, 56, 111, 113 and TrES-1. Previously obtained CORALIE spectra of HD189733, and published data on the other transiting planet-hosts were also used. The immediate objective is to estimate ages via Li abundances, using the Ca II activity-age relation, and from the analysis of the stellar rotational velocity. For the stars for which we have spectra, Li abundances were computed as in Israelian et al. (2004) using the stellar parameters derived in Santos et al. (2006). The chromospheric activity index $S_{US}$ was built as the ratio of the flux within the core of the Ca II H & K lines and the flux in two nearby continuum regions. The index $S_{US}$ was calibrated to Mount Wilson index $S_{MW}$ allowing the computation of the Ca II H & K corrected for the photospheric contribution. These values were then used to derive the ages by means of the Henry et al. (1996) activity-age relation. Bearing in mind the limitations of the ages derived by Li abundances, chromospheric activity, and stellar rotational velocities, none of the stars studied in this paper seem to be younger than 0.5 Gyr.

Distinct psychological profiles in multiple sclerosis : relations to site of lesion and neuropsychological function

description: An important question in multiple sclerosis (MS) is whether personality changes result from the neuropathological process or, alternatively, are normal psychological responses to the stress of living with the disease. The purpose of this study was to determine (1) if empirical support could be found for personality profiles described in the literature and (2) if these profiles were related to neuropathology. The subjects for this study were 99 MS patients with mild physical disease, and 56 well matched normal controls. In addition, a validation study was done on positive results, using 43 MS patients and 20 controls. A review of the literature suggested four common profiles in MS patients, namely denial, exaggeration of symptoms, ‘Depression’ (distinct from psychiatrically— defined major depression), and distress concordant with physical disability. These profiles were operationally defined by three variables measuring (i) objective clinical disability (Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale); (ii) the patient’s perception of symptoms; and (iii) the patient’s level of psychological distress. These three variables were analyzed using Ward’s method of cluster analysis, which yielded four groups consistent with the hypothesized profiles. Subsequently, identical results were obtained on the validation study. To determine if profile membership was related to neuropathological processes, membership in a psychological profile was correlated with lesion site and cognitive function. Site—by—site lesion analyses revealed that ‘Depressed’ patients had more pathology in one right parietal lobe site than did members of other groups. In the validation study there was a non—significant trend (p < 0.09) supporting this relation. The remaining sites (26/27) showed no differences, therefore, with the exception of the ‘Depressed’ group, no support was found for a pathological basis for psychological profiles. Hence, one would infer that in the mild stages of MS, profiles are reactive responses. The profile groups were also compared on number of lesion sites and did not differ, suggesting that profile does not reflect stage of biological disease. Analyses of neuropsychological test results indicated that only the ‘Depressed’ group with the right parietal lesion had cognitive impairment in comparison to the other groups. This finding was not replicated on validation. The current study provided empirical support for distinct psychological responses in MS, but for denial and somatic exaggeration no evidence was found for a pathological basis. These data will be useful to professionals working with MS patients, and may have therapeutic implications.

description: It is known that the distribution of nonreversible Markov processes breaking the detailed balance condition converges faster to the stationary distribution compared to reversible processes having the same stationary distribution. This is used in practice to accelerate Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms that sample the Gibbs distribution by adding nonreversible transitions or non-gradient drift terms. The breaking of detailed balance also accelerates the convergence of empirical estimators to their ergodic expectation in the long-time limit. Here, we give a physical interpretation of this second form of acceleration in terms of currents associated with the fluctuations of empirical estimators using the level 2.5 of large deviations, which characterises the likelihood of density and current fluctuations in Markov processes. Focusing on diffusion processes, we show that there is accelerated convergence because estimator fluctuations arise in general with current fluctuations, leading to an added large deviation cost compared to the reversible case, which shows no current. We study the current fluctuation most likely to arise in conjunction with a given estimator fluctuation and provide bounds on the acceleration, based on approximations of this current. We illustrate these results for the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process in two dimensions and the Brownian motion on the circle.

description: The symmetry operators generating the hidden $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry of the asymmetric quantum Rabi model (AQRM) at bias $ε\in \frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}$ have recently been constructed by V. V. Mangazeev et al. [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 54 12LT01 (2021)]. We start with this result to determine symmetry operators for the $N$-qubit generalisation of the AQRM, also known as the biased Dicke model, at special biases. We also prove for general $N$ that the symmetry operators, which commute with the Hamiltonian of the biased Dicke model, generate a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry.

description: We prove two conjectures from [M. R. Douglas, B. Shiffman and S. Zelditch, Critical points and supersymmetric vacua, II: Asymptotics and extremal metrics. J. Differential Geom. 72 (2006), no. 3, 381-427] concerning the expected number of critical points of random holomorphic sections of a positive line bundle. We show that, on average, the critical points of minimal Morse index are the most plentiful for holomorphic sections of ${\mathcal O}(N) \to \CP^m$ and, in an asymptotic sense, for those of line bundles over general Kähler manifolds. We calculate the expected number of these critical points for the respective cases and use these to obtain growth rates and asymptotic bounds for the total expected number of critical points in these cases. This line of research was motivated by landscape problems in string theory and spin glasses.

description: We develop a dipole model describing the thermal far-field radiation of a nanoparticle in close vicinity to a substrate. By including in our description the contribution of eddy currents and the possibility to choose different temperatures for the nanoparticle, the substrate, and the background, we generalize the existing models. We discuss the impact of the different temperatures, particle size, emission angle, and the distance dependence for all four combinations of gold and SiC nanoparticles or substrates.

description: Searches for gravitational-wave counterparts have been going in earnest since GW170817 and the discovery of AT2017gfo. Since then, the lack of detection of other optical counterparts connected to binary neutron star or black hole - neutron star candidates has highlighted the need for a better discrimination criterion to support this effort. At the moment, the low-latency gravitational-wave alerts contain preliminary information about the binary properties and, hence, on whether a detected binary might have an electromagnetic counterpart. The current alert method is a classifier that estimates the probability that there is a debris disc outside the black hole created during the merger as well as the probability of a signal being a binary neutron star, a black hole - neutron star, a binary black hole or of terrestrial origin. In this work, we expand upon this approach to predict both the ejecta properties and provide contours of potential lightcurves for these events in order to improve follow-up observation strategy. The various sources of uncertainty are discussed, and we conclude that our ignorance about the ejecta composition and the insufficient constraint of the binary parameters, by the low-latency pipelines, represent the main limitations. To validate the method, we test our approach on real events from the second and third Advanced LIGO-Virgo observing runs.

Two-sequential Conclusive Discrimination between Binary Coherent States via Indirect Measurements

description: A general scenario for an $N$-sequential conclusive state discrimination introduced recently in Loubenets and Namkung [arXiv:2102.04747] can provide a multipartite quantum communication realizable in the presence of a noise. In the present article, we propose a new experimental scheme for the implementation of a sequential conclusive discrimination between binary coherent states via indirect measurements within the Jaynes-Cummings interaction model. We find that if the mean photon number is less than 1.6, then, for our two-sequential state discrimination scheme, the optimal success probability is larger than the one presented in Fields, Varga, and Bergou [2020, IEEE Int. Conf. Quant. Eng. Comp.]. We also show that, if the mean photon number is almost equal to 1.2, then the optimal success probability nearly approaches the Helstrom bound.
