description: X-ray  diffuse scattering was measured from oriented stacks and unilamellar  vesicles of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine lipid bilayers to obtain the  temperature dependence of the structure and of the material properties.  The area/molecule, A, was 75.5Å2 at 45°C, 72.4Å2 at 30°C, and 69.1Å2 at 15°C, which gives the area expansivity αA=0.0029/deg  at 30°C, and we show that this value is in excellent agreement with the  polymer brush theory. The bilayer becomes thinner with increasing  temperature; the contractivity of the hydrocarbon portion was αDc=0.0019/deg; the difference between αA and αDc is consistent with the previously measured volume expansivity αVc=0.0010/deg. The bending modulus KC decreased as exp(455/T) with increasing T (K). Our area compressibility modulus KA decreased with increasing temperature by 5%, the same as the surface  tension of dodecane/water, in agreement again with the polymer brush  theory. Regarding interactions between bilayers, the compression modulus  B as a function of interbilayer water spacing D′W was found to be nearly independent of temperature. The repulsive fluctuation pressure calculated from B and KC increased with temperature, and the Hamaker parameter for the van der  Waals interaction was nearly independent of temperature; this explains  why the fully hydrated water spacing, D′W, that we obtain from our structural results increases with temperature.
Implications of the Dark LMA solution and Fourth Sterile Neutrino for Neutrino-less Double Beta Decay
Creators: name: Tanmay Kumar Poddar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We analyze the effect of the Dark-large mixing angle (DLMA) solution on the effective Majorana mass ($m_{\beta\beta}$) governing neutrino-less double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) in the presence of a sterile neutrino. We consider the 3+1 picture, comprising of one additional sterile neutrino. We have checked that the MSW resonance in the sun can take place in the DLMA parameter space in this scenario. Next we investigate how the values of the solar mixing angle $\theta_{12}$ corresponding to the DLMA region alter the predictions of $m_{\beta\beta}$ by including a sterile neutrino in the analysis. We also compare our results with three generation cases for both standard large mixing angle (LMA) and DLMA. Additionally, we evaluate the discovery sensitivity of the future ${}^{136}Xe$ experiments in this context.

Revisiting neutrino and sneutrino dark matter in natural SUSY scenarios
Creators: name: Jones-Pérez, Joel
name: Faber, Thomas
name: Porod, Werner
name: Liu, Yang
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We study natural supersymmetric scenarios with light right-handed neutrino superfields, and consider the possibility of having either a neutrino or a sneutrino as a dark matter candidate. For the former, we evaluate the possibility of having SUSY corrections on the $\nu_4\to\nu_\ell\gamma$ decay rate, such that the NuStar bounds are relaxed. We find that corrections are too small. For sneutrino dark matter, we consider thermal and nonthermal production, taking into account freeze-out, freeze-in, and super-WIMP mechanisms. For the nonthermal case, we find that the $\tilde \nu_R$ can reproduce the observed relic density by adjusting the R-sneutrino mass and Yukawa couplings. For the thermal case, we find the need to extend the model in order to enhance sneutrino annihilations, which we exemplify in a model with an extended gauge symmetry.
Significant yet anonymous: a study on older consumers’ portrayal as models in UK print advertisements
Creators: name: Frimpong, Joel Eldad Annoh
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2020

description: Increase in the population of older people (over 50’s) particularly in advanced countries such as the UK has been gaining scholarly and advertising management attention. This could somehow be due to the enormous commercial potentials of this demographic group. However, authorial work on the subject has mostly been undertaken in the USA with the few in UK generally converging around the role of television advertisements in stereotyping this consumer group. Focusing on the UK context, this interdisciplinary thesis attempted to extend the extant knowledge by deploying theories developed by the advertising and sociology community to provide a somewhat contemporary understanding on the broad subject of older people and the media in UK. It employed a two-stage and a two-method research design of (1) content analysis of newspaper adverts (N=1424) from the six highest newspaper readerships across the three UK newspaper categories. This was used to support the understanding of how older consumers are integrated into mainstream advertisements. (2) quasi-experiment (N=200) to measure the groups’ emotions and beliefs expressed toward mainstream (bottled water) and age-related (finalarrangement) product adverts targeted at them using three categories of models: young, subjective-young and objective-senior . Results of the content analysis indicated that although most of the overt images of older people in the dataset were positive, variables indicating negative stereotyping cannot be controverted. The quasi-experiment results showed that the emotions and beliefs exhibited by older people toward adverts varied based on the effects of the tri-factors of product category, perceived-age of the model and the target’s own cognitive-age. Ultimately, this thesis has extended the existing knowledge on the subject by advancing the need to redefine the portrayal of older people in UK advertisement to include not just the overt images they are depicted in but also the mediating role of variables such as product association, physical settings, frequency of appearance and roles played. Moreover, the findings of the thesis affirmed that cognitive age rather than chronological age influenced the emotions and beliefs older people expressed in adverts with models they shared age-affinity with. The study has a number of implications including the need for advertisers to increase the frequency of older models in advertisements whiles ensuring stereotypical meanings are avoided. Moreover, the thesis underscored the need for a confluence between the cognitive age of targets and key elements of an advert such as model age and product category. Theoretically, this thesis makes a case for the cognitive age of models to be considered in developing the framework for studying advertising effectiveness among the older consumer group in UK.

description: The stochastic efficiency of effusion as a thermal engine is investigated within the framework of stochastic thermodynamics. Explicit results are obtained for the probability distribution of the efficiency both at finite times and in the asymptotic regime of large deviations. The universal features, derived in Verley et al., Nature Communications 5, 4721 (2014), are reproduced. The effusion engine is a good candidate for both the numerical and experimental verification of these predictions.

description: There is a significant discrepancy between the values of the proton electric form factor, GpE, extracted using unpolarized and polarized electron scattering. Calculations predict that small two-photon exchange (TPE) contributions can significantly affect the extraction of GpE from the unpolarized electron-proton cross sections. We determined the TPE contribution by measuring the ratio of positron-proton to electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections using a simultaneous, tertiary electron-positron beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target and detecting the scattered particles in the Jefferson Lab CLAS detector. This novel technique allowed us to cover a wide range in virtual photon polarization (ϵ) and momentum transfer (Q2) simultaneously, as well as to cancel luminosity-related systematic errors. The cross section ratio increases with decreasing ϵ at Q2=1.45  GeV2. This measurement is consistent with the size of the form factor discrepancy at Q2≈1.75  GeV2 and with hadronic calculations including nucleon and Δ intermediate states, which have been shown to resolve the discrepancy up to 2–3  GeV2.
Prediction for Neutrino Masses, CP Violation and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay from $\mathcal{T}_{13}$ Family Symmetry
Creators: name: Moinul Hossain Rahat
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: I will propose a model for both quraks and leptons based on the $SU(5)$ grand unification and $\mathcal{T}_{13}$, a discrete subgroup of $SU(3)$, family symmetry. It naturally reproduces GUT-scale mass ratios of quarks and charged leptons and their mixing angles, assuming tribimaximal (TBM) seesaw mixing. It predicts normal ordering for light neutrino masses with $m_{\nu_1} = 27.6$, $m_{\nu_2} = 28.9$ and $m_{\nu_3} = 57.8$ $meV$, leptonic CP violation with $\delta_{CP} = 1.32 \pi$, and neutrinoless double beta decay with $|m_{\beta \beta}| = 13.02$ or $25.21$ $meV$. All of these predictions can be tested in near-future experiments like DESI, WFIRST, DUNE, Hyper-K, LEGEND, CUPID etc. in $7$-$10$ yrs.
Trans-Planckian signals from the breaking of local Lorentz invariance

description: This article examines how a breakdown of a locally Lorentz-invariant, pointlike description of nature at tiny space-time intervals would translate into a distinctive set of signals in the primordial power spectrum generated by inflation. We examine the leading irrelevant operators that are consistent with the spatial translations and rotations of a preferred, isotropically expanding, background. A few of the resulting corrections to the primordial power spectrum do not have the usual oscillatory factor, which is sometimes taken to be characteristic of a “trans-Planckian” signal. Perhaps more interestingly, one of these leading irrelevant operators exactly reproduces a correction to the power spectrum that occurs in effective descriptions of the state of the field responsible for inflation.

Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 20399 Classical Physics not elsewhere classified

description: The microcanonical partition function Ωα,N(E) of a three-dimensional ferromagnetic simple cubic Blume-Capel model is calculated for several coupling ratios α  close to and on the first-order side of the tricritical point. To this  end a single Monte Carlo simulation of a suitably extended partition  function for systems of L×L×L spins with L∈{8,10,12,14,18}  was performed. A finite system analog of the latent heat is introduced  in order to define a tricritical point in finite systems as well. An  empirical scaling of its coordinates to the thermodynamic limit yields α(t)=2.84479±0.00030 for the tricritical coupling ratio, and kBT(t)/J=1.4182±0.0055 for the tricritical transition temperature. The results are compared with values obtained on fcc lattices.

description: Two-dimensional materials exhibit diverse electronic properties, ranging from insulating hexagonal boron nitride and semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides such as molybdenum disulphide, to semimetallic graphene. In this Review, we first discuss the optical properties and applications of various two-dimensional materials, and then cover two different approaches for enhancing their interactions with light: through their integration with external photonic structures, and through intrinsic polaritonic resonances. Finally, we present a narrow-bandgap layered material — black phosphorus — that serendipitously bridges the energy gap between the zero-bandgap graphene and the relatively large-bandgap transition metal dichalcogenides. The plethora of two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures, together with the array of available approaches for enhancing the light–matter interaction, offers the promise of scientific discoveries and nanophotonics technologies across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
title: Emerging materials for superconducting nanowire photon counting arrays

Subjects: subject: superconducting, nanowire, single photon, detector, low temperature, array, multipixels, telecommunications, detection efficiency.

description: Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are the leading technology for low noise, high efficiency infrared single-photon detection. The basic SNSPD consists of a nanowire patterned in an ultrathin superconducting thin film, which is cooled below its critical temperature and biased close to its critical current. The absorption of a single-photon creates a resistive region, triggering a fast output voltage pulse which can be readily amplified and registered. The excellent performance of SNSPDs at near-infrared and telecommunications wavelengths has led to their adoption in important applications such as quantum secure communications, single-photon spectroscopy and single-photon LIDAR. A clear challenge for the SNSPD community is to extend the spectral range of SNSPDs into the mid infrared, and to improve material uniformity to enable the realization of large area arrays for multimode or free space coupling. The aim of this work is to evaluate potential materials for next generation mid-infrared SNSPD arrays. In this work, thin films of polycrystalline NbN and amorphous MoSi have been optimized to test the uniformity of a multipixel array configuration composed of 8 nanowire meander structures covering 10 um x 10 um area, 100 nm width and 50% filling factor. The 8-pixels SNSPD arrays have been patterned on 8 nm thickness NbN grown on high resistivity silicon (HR Si) substrate at room temperature and at 800 °C exhibiting respectively 4.4 K and 7.3 K as mean critical temperature across the pixels. The 8- pixels SNSPD array patterned on 8 nm thickness MoSi cooling the HR Si substrate to -180 °C has exhibited a mean critical temperature of 3.2 K across the pixels. Optical properties have been measured by an attenuated 1550 nm laser diode source delivered by single mode optical fibre at a controlled distance from the chip in order to broadly illuminate the array. The optical properties have been studied only for the 8 nm thickness NbN SNSPD array grown at room temperature has demonstrated uniform optical properties across pixels exhibiting similar saturation of the internal efficiency over a large bias, similar dark count rate and similar timing jitter (about 137 ps) across pixels. In the single photon regime at 1550 nm, pixels 4 and 6 of the 8 nm thickness NbN SNSPD array exhibit 28.4% and 4.7% pixel detection efficiency as measured at the bias current 95% of their respective critical current at 2.2 K.

description: We investigated the effect of an electric field on the interface magnetic anisotropy of a thin MgO/Fe/MgO layer using density functional theory. The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) increases not only under electron depletion but also under some electron accumulation conditions, showing a strong correlation with the number of electrons on the interface Fe atom. The reverse variation in the MAE under the electric field is ascribed to novel features on the charged interface, such as electron leakage. We discuss the origin of the variation in terms of the electronic structures.

description: We report on recent Ks-band interferometric observations of the young pre-main-sequence star AB Aurigae obtained with the Palomar Fiber Nuller (PFN). Reaching a contrast of a few 10-4 inside a field of view extending from 35 to 275 mas (5-40AU at AB Aur's distance), the PFN is able to explore angular scales that are intermediate between those accessed by coronagraphic imaging and long baseline interferometry. This intermediate region is of special interest given that many young stellar objects are believed to harbor extended halos at such angular scales. Using destructive interference (nulling) between two sub-apertures of the Palomar 200 inch telescope and rotating the telescope pupil, we measured a resolved circumstellar excess at all probed azimuth angles. The astrophysical null measured over the full rotation is fairly constant, with a mean value of 1.52%, and a slight additional azimuthal modulation of +/-0.2%. The isotropic astrophysical null is indicative of circumstellar emission dominated by an azimuthally extended source, possibly a halo, or one or more rings of dust, accounting for several percent of the total Ks-band flux. The modest azimuthal variation may be explained by some skewness or anisotropy of the spatially extended source, e.g., an elliptical or spiral geometry, or clumping, but it could also be due to the presence of a point source located at a separation of ~120 mas (17AU) with ~6*10-3 of the stellar flux. We combine our results with previous Infrared Optical Telescope Array observations of AB Aur at H band, and demonstrate that a dust ring located at ~30 mas (4.3AU) represents the best-fitting model to explain both sets of visibilities.We are also able to test a few previously hypothesized models of the incoherent component evident at longer interferometric baselines.

description: We measured the lifetime and the mesonic and nonmesonic decay rates of the Λ4He hypernucleus. The hypernuclei were created using a 750 MeV/c momentum K- beam on a liquid 4He target by the reaction 4He (K-,π-)Λ4He. The Λ4He lifetime was directly measured using protons from Λp→np nonmesonic decay (also referred to as proton-stimulated decay) and was found to have a value of τ=245±24 ps. The mesonic decay rates were determined from the observed numbers of π-'s and π○'s as Γπ-/Γtot=0.270±0.024 and Γπ○/Γtot=0.564±0.036, respectively, and the values of the proton- and neutron-stimulated decay rates were extracted as Γp/Γtot=0.169±0.019 and Γn/Γtot⩽0.032 (95% CL), respectively. The effects of final-state interactions and possible three-body ΛNN decay contributions were studied in the context of a simple model of nucleon-stimulated decay. Nucleon-nucleon coincidence events were observed and were used in the determination of the nonmesonic branching fractions. The implications of the results of this analysis were considered for the empirical ΔI=1/2 rule and the decay rates of the Λ4H hypernucleus.
Resonant scattering by magnetic impurities as a model for spin relaxation in bilayer graphene

description: We propose that the observed spin-relaxation in bilayer graphene is due to resonant scattering by magnetic impurities. We analyze a resonant scattering model due to adatoms on both dimer and non-dimer sites, finding that only the former give narrow resonances at the charge neutrality point. Opposite to single-layer graphene, the measured spin-relaxation rate in graphene bilayer increases with carrier density. Although it has been commonly argued that a different mechanism must be at play for the two structures, our model explains this behavior rather naturally in terms of different broadening scales for the same underlying resonant processes. Not only our results---using robust and first-principles inspired parameters---agree with experiment, they also predict an experimentally testable sharp decrease of the spin-relaxation rate at high carrier densities.

description: We theoretically study the elastic deformation of a fluid membrane          induced by an adhering spherical colloidal particle within the          framework of a Helfrich energy. Based on a full optimization of          the membrane shape we find a continuous binding and a          discontinuous envelopment transition, the latter displaying a          potentially substantial energy barrier. A small-gradient          approximation permits membrane shape and complex energy to be          calculated analytically. While this only leads to a good          representation of the complex geometry for very small degrees of          wrapping, it still gives the correct phase boundaries in the          regime of low tension.

description: Underwater exploration at Sistema Zacatón reached human limits when Jim Bowden descended to a depth of 289 meters April 6, 1994. In order to understand this karst system, unmanned robotic exploration is required to document the immense geometry of the underwater caves. The DEPTHX (DEep Phreatic THermal eXplorer) vehicle was developed with support from NASA to approach this problem, with the additional impetus to address robotic exploration in outer space. During the winter and spring of 2007, DEPTHX conducted three-dimensional (3D) underwater mapping missions of 4 cenotes in Sistema Zacatón: El Zacatón, Caracol, Poza Verde, and La Pilita. The detailed maps discovered no lateral tunnels connecting the cenotes, which are only 100–200 meters apart from each other. The deepest cenote, El Zacatón was bottomed out at a depth of 319 meters (339 meters including above water cliff), making it the deepest underwater vertical shaft and second deepest underwater cave in the world. No side tunnels were discovered. However, the 3D data revealed geomorphic features of the cenotes to document how the karst system may have evolved through time. Spatial geochemical data collected contemporaneously during mapping missions indicate that water in the three warmest cenotes is extremely homogeneous, and the cooler cenote displays chemoclines similar to lacustrine type settings. The data collected by DEPTHX are being used with other types of geologic information to investigate the specific nature of hypogenic karstification that formed the cave system.

description: The Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at s√=7  TeV are measured using a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.1±0.3  pb−1. Integrated over the rapidity range |y|<2, we find the product of the Υ(1S) production cross section and branching fraction to dimuons to be σ(pp→Υ(1S)X)⋅B(Υ(1S)→μ+μ−)=7.37±0.13+0.61−0.42±0.81  nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is associated with the estimation of the integrated luminosity of the data sample. This cross section is obtained assuming unpolarized Υ(1S) production. With the assumption of fully transverse or fully longitudinal production polarization, the measured cross section changes by about 20%. We also report the measurement of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) differential cross sections as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity.
Neutrino quantum decoherence in supernovae explosions
Creators: name: Studenikin, Alexander

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The effect of neutrino quantum decoherence has attracted a growing interest during the last 15 years. Most existing studies deal with searches of the neutrino quantum decoherence in terrestrial reactor and solar neutrino experiments. New large volume neutrino detectors will provide a new frontier in high-statistics measurements of neutrino fluxes from supernovae. It is thus important for calculations of the supernovae neutrino fluxes to include effects of neutrino quantum decoherence. We suggest a new approach to describe the neutrino quantum decoherence that accounts for the concrete mechanism that engenders the decoherence. As an example, we have considered the decoherence in the neutrino supernovae fluxes due to neutrino radiative decay. We present our new results on the decoherence in the supernovae neutrino fluxes accounting for the collective neutrino oscillations and study the possibility to detect the effect of neutrino quantum decoherence in supernovae neutrino fluxes in the future terrestrial experiments.

This is a first step towards demonstrating entanglement between distant quantum memories (realized with quantum dots), which in turn is a milestone in the roadmap for building a functional quantum repeater. We also place this experimental work in context by providing an overview of quantum repeaters, their potential uses, and the challenges in implementing them.

Observational Constraints on the possibility that Sterile Neutrinos cause Anti-gravity
Creators: name: Priyamvada Kameshwar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The origin of neutrino masses heralds new physics. In some theories beyond the standard model, existence of sterile neutrinos have been predicted. In this paper, we ask the question: what if sterile neutrinos cause the space-time geometry to be warped in a way that it leads to repulsive gravity? We use a Lambda-CDM model along with a negative gravitational constant for the sterile neutrinos to constrain the extent of anti-gravity sourced by these neutrinos.

description: Accurate and robust registration of multiple three dimensional
(3D) views is crucial for creating digital 3D
models of real-world scenes. In this paper, we present a
framework for evaluating the quality of model hypotheses
during the registration phase. We use maximum likelihood
estimation to learn a probabilistic model of registration
success. This method provides a principled way to combine
multiple measures of registration accuracy. Also, we
describe a stochastic algorithm for robustly searching the
large space of possible models for the best model hypothesis.
This new approach can detect situations in which no
solution exists, outputting a set of model parts if a single
model using all the views cannot be found. We show results
for a large collection of automatically modeled scenes
and demonstrate that our algorithm works independently of
scene size and the type of range sensor. This work is part of
a system we have developed to automate the 3D modeling
process for a set of 3D views obtained from unknown sensor
viewpoints.
1 Introduction
Modeling-from-reality is the process of creating digital
three-dimensional (3D) models of real-world scenes from
3D views as obtained, for example, from range sensors or
stereo camera systems

Degenerate Hessian structures on radiant manifolds

description: We present a rigorous mathematical treatment of Ruppeiner geometry, by considering degenerate Hessian metrics defined on radiant manifolds. A manifold $M$ is said to be radiant if it is endowed with a symmetric, flat connection $\bar\nabla$ and a global vector field $ρ$ whose covariant derivative is the identity mapping. A degenerate Hessian metric on $M$ is a degenerate metric tensor $g$ that can locally be written as the covariant Hessian of a function, called potential. A function on $M$ is said to be extensive if its Lie derivative with respect to $ρ$ is the function itself. We show that the Hessian metrics appearing in equilibrium thermodynamics are necessarily degenerate, owing to the fact that their potentials are extensive (up to an additive constant). Manifolds having degenerate Hessian metrics always contain embedded Hessian submanifolds, which generalize the manifolds defined by constant volume in which Ruppeiner geometry is usually studied. By means of examples, we illustrate that linking scalar curvature to microscopic interactions within a thermodynamic system is inaccurate under this approach. In contrast, thermodynamic critical points seem to arise as geometric singularities.

A Framework for Push-grasping in Clutter

description: Humans use a remarkable set of strategies to manipulate objects in clutter. We pick up, push, slide, and sweep with our hands and arms to rearrange clutter surrounding our primary task. But our robots treat the world like the Tower of Hanoi — moving with pick-and-place actions and fearful to interact with it with anything but rigid grasps. This produces inefficient plans and is often inapplicable with heavy, large, or otherwise ungraspable objects. We introduce a framework for planning in clutter that uses a library of actions inspired by human strategies. The action library is derived analytically from the mechanics of pushing and is provably conservative. The framework reduces the problem to one of combinatorial search, and demonstrates planning times on the order of seconds. With the extra functionality, our planner succeeds where traditional grasp planners fail, and works under high uncertainty by utilizing the funneling effect of pushing. We demonstrate our results with experiments in simulation and on HERB, a robotic platform developed at the Personal Robotics Lab at Carnegie Mellon University.
Cellular structures using $\textbf{U}_q$-tilting modules

description: We use the theory of $\textbf{U}_q$-tilting modules to construct cellular bases for centralizer algebras. Our methods are quite general and work for any quantum group $\textbf{U}_q$ attached to a Cartan matrix and include the non-semisimple cases for $q$ being a root of unity and ground fields of positive characteristic. Our approach also generalizes to certain categories containing infinite-dimensional modules. As applications, we give a new semisimplicty criterion for centralizer algebras, and recover the cellularity of several known algebras (with partially new cellular bases) which all fit into our general setup.

The Superconducting Magnet and Electromagnetic Calorimeter of SAND in DUNE
Creators: name: Ferraro, Federico
name: Petti, Roberto
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is based on a wide-band, intense neutrino beam from Fermilab, a far detector of large liquid argon time projection chambers, and a near detector to characterize the beam and constrain systematic uncertainties. The System for on-Axis Neutrino Detection (SAND) will be part of the DUNE near detector. It is based on a superconducting magnet (0.6T) and an electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL), repurposed from the KLOE (K-Long Experiment) experiment. The ECAL is a lead-scintillating fiber sampling calorimeter of total thickness of about 15 $X_0$, consisting of a cylindrical barrel section and two endcaps. The energy resolution is $\sigma / E = 5\%/\sqrt{E(GeV)}$ and the timing resolution is $54/\sqrt{E(GeV)}$ ps $\oplus$ 50ps. The ECAL provides particle identification and and reconstruction of $e^\pm, \gamma$, $\pi^0$ and neutrons. The upstream barrel ECAL can be used as an additional active target system with a total fiducial mass of 22.8 tons.
A Market Approach to Multirobot Coordination

description: The problem of efficient multirobot coordination has risen to the forefront of robotics research in
recent years. Interest in this problem is motivated by the wide range of application domains demanding
multirobot solutions. In general, multirobot coordination strategies assume either a centralized approach,
where a single robot/agent plans for the group, or a distributed approach, where each robot is responsible
for its own planning. Inherent to many centralized approaches are difficulties such as intractable solutions
for large groups, sluggish response to changes in the local environment, heavy communication
requirements, and brittle systems with single points of failure. The key advantage of centralized
approaches is that they can produce globally optimal plans. While most distributed approaches can
overcome the obstacles inherent to centralized approaches, they can only produce suboptimal plans.

This work explores the development of a market-based architecture that will be inherently
distributed, but will also opportunistically form centralized sub-groups to improve efficiency, and thus
approach optimality. Robots will be self-interested agents, with the primary goal of maximizing individual
profits. The revenue/cost models and rules of engagement will be designed so that maximizing individual
profit has the benevolent effect of moving the team toward the globally optimal solution. This architecture
will inherit the flexibility of market-based approaches in allowing cooperation and competition to emerge
opportunistically. The outlined approach will address the multirobot control problem for autonomous
robotic colonies carrying out complex tasks in dynamic environments where it is highly desirable to
optimize to whatever extent possible. Future work will develop the core components of a market-based
multirobot control-architecture, investigate the use of a negotiation protocol for task distribution, design
and implement resource and role management schemes, and apply optimization techniques to improve
system performance. The automated robot colonies domain is targeted for implementation and evaluation
of the architecture. Portability of the architecture to other application domains will also be illustrated.

description: In this paper, we construct a well-balanced, positivity preserving finite volume scheme for the shallow water equations based on a continuous, piecewise linear discretization of the bottom topography. The main new technique is a special reconstruction of the flow variables in wet-dry cells, which is presented in this paper for the one dimensional case. We realize the new reconstruction in the framework of the second-order semi-discrete central-upwind scheme from (A. Kurganov and G. Petrova, Commun. Math. Sci., 2007). The positivity of the computed water height is ensured following (A. Bollermann, S. Noelle and M. Lukáčová-Medviďová, Commun. Comput. Phys., 2010): The outgoing fluxes are limited in case of draining cells.
Searches for Ultra-High-Energy Neutrinos with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Creators: name: Schimp, Michael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Surface Detector (SD) of the Pierre Auger Observatory is used to search for ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrinos of all flavours, which have energies beyond 0.1 EeV. They induce extensive air showers (EASs) that are efficiently detected and well separated from those produced by UHE cosmic rays. Additionally, the SD's large aperture leads to a UHE neutrino sensitivity competitive to that of dedicated neutrino telescopes. No UHE neutrinos have been found to date, imposing strong limits on their flux, severely constraining a variety of production models. Furthermore, limits on the UHE neutrino flux from point sources in a large declination band (−80° to 60°) are obtained. The varying exposure for different EAS inclinations causes a temporarily enhanced neutrino sensitivity in certain directions in the sky, benefiting multi-messenger follow-up searches, which will be discussed together with the overall UHE neutrino search results.

description: We report a new class of $SO(3,\mathbb{C})$ and diffeomorphism invariant formulations for general relativity with either a vanishing or a nonvanishing cosmological constant, which depends functionally on a $SO(3,\mathbb{C})$ gauge connection and a complex-valued 4-form via a holomorphic function of the trace of a symmetric $3\times3$ matrix that is constructed from these variables. We present two members of this class, one of which results from the implementation of a method for obtaining action principles belonging to the class. For the case of a nonvanishing cosmological constant, we solve for the complex-valued 4-form and get pure connection action principles. We perform the canonical analysis of the class. The analysis shows that only the Hamiltonian constraint is modified with respect to the Ashtekar formulation and that the members of the class have two physical degrees of freedom per space point.
