The shape of galaxy dark matter halos in massive galaxy clusters: Insights from strong gravitational lensing

description: We assess how much unused strong lensing information is available in the deep \emph{Hubble Space Telescope} imaging and VLT/MUSE spectroscopy of the \emph{Frontier Field} clusters. As a pilot study, we analyse galaxy cluster MACS\,J0416.1-2403 ($z$$=$$0.397$, $M(R<200\,{\rm kpc})$$=$$1.6$$\times$$10^{14}\msun$), which has 141 multiple images with spectroscopic redshifts. We find that many additional parameters in a cluster mass model can be constrained, and that adding even small amounts of extra freedom to a model can dramatically improve its figures of merit. We use this information to constrain the distribution of dark matter around cluster member galaxies, simultaneously with the cluster's large-scale mass distribution. We find tentative evidence that some galaxies' dark matter has surprisingly similar ellipticity to their stars (unlike in the field, where it is more spherical), but that its orientation is often misaligned. When non-coincident dark matter and baryonic halos are allowed, the model improves by 35\%. This technique may provide a new way to investigate the processes and timescales on which dark matter is stripped from galaxies as they fall into a massive cluster. Our preliminary conclusions will be made more robust by analysing the remaining five \emph{Frontier Field} clusters.

description: We present general formulae to compute Wilson line correlators with the Color Glass Condensate described by the McLerran-Venugopalan model. We explicitly construct a complete and non-orthogonal set of color-singlet bases and write matrix elements down, so that the exponential of the matrix leads to the Wilson line correlators. We further develop a systematic perturbative expansion of dipole Wilson line correlators in terms of $1/N_c$ where $N_c$ is the color number. As a phenomenological application we calculate the flow harmonics $v_n\{m\}$ in the dipole model and discuss the $N_c$ scaling.

Convolutional Neural Network Based Metal Artifact Reduction in X-ray Computed Tomography

description: In the presence of metal implants, metal artifacts are introduced to x-ray CT images. Although a large number of metal artifact reduction (MAR) methods have been proposed in the past decades, MAR is still one of the major problems in clinical x-ray CT. In this work, we develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) based open MAR framework, which fuses the information from the original and corrected images to suppress artifacts. The proposed approach consists two phases. In the CNN training phase, we build a database consisting of metal-free, metal-inserted and pre-corrected CT images, and image patches are extracted and used for CNN training. In the MAR phase, the uncorrected and pre-corrected images are used as the input of the trained CNN to generate a CNN image with reduced artifacts. To further reduce the remaining artifacts, water equivalent tissues in a CNN image are set to a uniform value to yield a CNN prior, whose forward projections are used to replace the metal-affected projections, followed by the FBP reconstruction. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated on both simulated and real data. Experimental results demonstrate the superior MAR capability of the proposed method to its competitors in terms of artifact suppression and preservation of anatomical structures in the vicinity of metal implants.
Precision Measurements of Higher-Order Angular Galaxy Correlations Using 11 Million SDSS Galaxies

description: We present estimates of the N-point galaxy area-averaged angular correlation functions wN for N = 2,...,7 from the third data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The sample was selected from galaxies with 18 < r < 21, and is the largest ever used to study higher-order correlations. The measured wN are used to calculate the projected, sN, and real space, SN, hierarchical amplitudes. This produces highly-precise measurements over 0.2 to 10 h-1 Mpc, which are consistent with Gaussian primordial density fluctuations. The measurements suggest that higher-order galaxy bias is non-negligible, as defining b1 = 1 yields c2 = -0.24 +/- 0.08. We report the first SDSS measurement of marginally significant third-order bias, c3 = 0.98 +/- 0.89, which suggests that bias terms may be significant to even higher order. Previous measurements of c2 have yielded inconsistent results. Inconsistencies would be expected if different data sets sample different galaxy types, especially if different galaxy types exhibit different higher-order bias. We find early-type galaxies exhibit significantly different behavior than late-types at both small and large scales. At large scales (r > 1 h-1 Mpc), we find the SN for late-type galaxies are lower than for early-types, implying a significant difference between their higher-order bias. We find b1,early = 1.36 +/- 0.04, c2,early = 0.30 +/- 0.10, b1,late = 0.81 +/- 0.03, and c2,late = -0.70 +/- 0.08. Our results are robust against the systematic effects of reddening and seeing. The latter introduces minor structure in wN.

description: Objective: The objective was to assess the burden of chemotherapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in Japan. Methods: Utilizing a large administrative hospital database we compared a set of outcome measures 12 months before and after initiation of chemotherapy, namely total medical costs, number of outpatient visits, number of hospital admissions and number of days spent in hospital. Results: A total of 598 CRPC patients were identified in the database. Total healthcare costs increased from 143,578 Japanese Yen (JPY) per patient per month (PPPM), before chemotherapy, to 333,628 JPY after start of chemotherapy. The number of hospital admissions increased by 280%, and the number of days spent in hospital by 380%. Conclusions: The overall costs of chemotherapy for patients diagnosed with castration-resistant prostate cancer in Japan are high. Our findings can serve as a basis for health economic evaluations.
$q$-Poincaré invariance of the $AdS_3/CFT_2$ $R$-matrix

description: We consider the exact $R$-matrix of $AdS_3/CFT_2$, which is the building block for describing the scattering of worldsheet excitations of the light-cone gauge-fixed backgrounds $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4$ and $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times S^3 \times S^1$ with pure Ramond-Ramond fluxes. We show that $R$ is invariant under a "deformed boost" symmetry, for which we write an explicit exact coproduct, i.e. its action on 2-particle states. When we include the boost, the symmetries of the $R$-matrix close into a $q$-Poincaré superalgebra. Our findings suggest that the recently discovered boost invariance in $AdS_5/CFT_4$ may be a common feature of $AdS/CFT$ systems that are treatable with the exact techniques of integrability. With the aim of going towards a universal formulation of the underlying Hopf algebra, we also propose a universal form of the $AdS_3/CFT_2$ classical $r$-matrix.

description: We report the discovery and the results of follow-up timing observations of PSR J2045+3633 and PSR J2053+4650, two binary pulsars found in the Northern High Time Resolution Universe pulsar survey being carried out with the Effelsberg radio telescope. Having spin periods of 31.7 ms and 12.6 ms respectively, and both with massive white dwarf companions, $M_{c}\, > \, 0.8\, M_{\odot}$, the pulsars can be classified as mildly recycled. PSR J2045+3633 is remarkable due to its orbital period (32.3 days) and eccentricity $e\, = \, 0.01721244(5)$ which is among the largest ever measured for this class. After almost two years of timing the large eccentricity has allowed the measurement of the rate of advance of periastron at the 5-$σ$ level, 0.0010(2)$^\circ~\rm yr^{-1}$. Combining this with a detection of the orthometric amplitude of the Shapiro delay, we obtained the following constraints on the component masses (within general relativity): $M_{p}\, = \, 1.33^{+0.30}_{-0.28}\, M_{\odot}$, and $M_{c}\, = \, 0.94^{+0.14}_{-0.13}\, M_{\odot}$. PSR J2053+4650 has a 2.45-day circular orbit inclined to the plane of the sky at an angle $i\, = \, 85.0^{+0.8}_{-0.9}\,{^\circ}$. In this nearly edge-on case the masses can be obtained from the Shapiro delay alone. Our timing observations resulted in a significant detection of this effect giving: $M_{p}\, = \, 1.40^{+0.21}_{-0.18}\, M_{\odot}$, and $M_{c}\, = \, 0.86^{+0.07}_{-0.06}\, M_{\odot}$.

description: We report on a search for engineered signals from a sample of 692 nearby stars using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, undertaken as part of the $Breakthrough~Listen~Initiative$ search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Observations were made over 1.1$-$1.9 GHz (L band), with three sets of five-minute observations of the 692 primary targets, interspersed with five-minute observations of secondary targets. By comparing the "ON" and "OFF" observations we are able to identify terrestrial interference and place limits on the presence of engineered signals from putative extraterrestrial civilizations inhabiting the environs of the target stars. During the analysis, eleven events passed our thresholding algorithm, but a detailed analysis of their properties indicates they are consistent with known examples of anthropogenic radio frequency interference. We conclude that, at the time of our observations, none of the observed systems host high-duty-cycle radio transmitters emitting between 1.1 and 1.9 GHz with an Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power of $\sim10^{13}$ W, which is readily achievable by our own civilization. Our results suggest that fewer than $\sim$ 0.1$\%$ of the stellar systems within 50 pc possess the type of transmitters searched in this survey.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Among the O(alpha_s tan beta) contributions to the Wilson coefficients C_7 and C_8, relevant for the decay bar{B} -> X_s gamma, those induced by two-loop diagrams with charged-Higgs-boson exchange and squark-gluino corrections are calculated in supersymmetric models at large tan beta. The calculation of the corresponding Feynman integrals is exact, unlike in previous studies that are valid when the typical supersymmetric scale M_SUSY is sufficiently larger than the electroweak scale m_weak (\sim m_W, m_t) and the mass of the charged Higgs boson m_{H^\pm}. Therefore, the results presented here can be used for any value of the various supersymmetric masses. These results are compared with those of an approximate calculation, already existing in the literature, that is at the zeroth order in the expansion parameter (m_weak^2,m_H^2)/M_SUSY^2, and with the results of two new approximate calculations in which the first and second order in the same expansion parameter are retained, respectively. This comparison allows us to assess whether the results of these three approximate calculations can be extended beyond the range of validity for which they were derived, i.e., whether they can be used for m_H^2 \gtap M_SUSY^2 and/or M_SUSY^2 \sim m_weak^2. It is found that the zeroth-order approximation works well even for m_H \gtap M_SUSY, provided M_SUSY^2 >> m_weak^2. The inclusion of the higher-order terms improves the zeroth-order approximation for m_H^2 << M_SUSY^2, but it worsens it for m_H \gtap M_SUSY$.

description: We make a consistency test for the general relativity (GR) through measuring the growth index $γ$ in a universe with massive (sterile/active) neutrinos. We employ the redshift space distortion measurements to do the analysis. To constrain other cosmological parameters, we also use other cosmological measurements, including the Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization data, the baryon acoustic oscillation data, the type Ia supernova JLA data, the weak lensing galaxy shear data, and the Planck 2015 lensing data. In a universe with massive sterile neutrinos, we obtain $γ=0.624^{+0.055}_{-0.050}$, with the tension with the GR prediction $γ=0.55$ at the 1.48$σ$ level, showing that the consideration of sterile neutrinos still cannot make the true measurement of $γ$ be well consistent with the GR prediction. In a universe with massive active neutrinos, we obtain $γ=0.663\pm0.045$ for the normal hierarchy case, $γ=0.661^{+0.044}_{-0.050}$ for the degenerate hierarchy case, and $γ=0.668^{+0.045}_{-0.051}$ for the inverted hierarchy case, with the tensions with GR all at beyond the 2$σ$ level. We find that the consideration of massive active neutrinos (no matter what mass hierarchy is considered) almost does not influence the measurement of the growth index $γ$.

description: We describe a wide and deep search for optical GRB afterglows on images taken with MegaCAM at the Canada France Hawaii Telescope, within the framework of the CFHT Legacy Survey. This search is performed in near real-time thanks to a Real Time Analysis System called "Optically Selected GRB Afterglows", which has been completely realized and installed on a dedicated computer in Hawaii. This pipeline automatically and quickly analyzes Megacam images and extracts from them a list of astrometrically and photometrically variable objects which are displayed on a web page for validation by a member of the collaboration. In this paper, we comprehensively describe the RTAS process. We also present statistical results based on nearly one full year of operation, showing the quality of the images and the performance of the RTAS. Finally, we compare the efficiency of this study with similar searches, propose an ideal observational strategy using simulations, and discuss general considerations on the searches for GRB afterglows independently of the prompt emission. This is the first of a series of two papers. A second paper will discuss the characterization of variable objects we have found, as well as the GRB afterglow candidates and their nature. We will also estimate or at least constrain the collimation factor of GRB using the totality of the Very Wide Survey observations.

Breaking time-reversal symmetry with acoustic pumping of nanophotonic circuits

description: Achieving non-reciprocal light propagation via stimuli that break time-reversal symmetry, without magneto-optics, remains a major challenge for integrated nanophotonic devices. Recently, optomechanical microsystems in which light and vibrational modes are coupled through ponderomotive forces, have demonstrated strong non-reciprocal effects through a variety of techniques, but always using optical pumping. None of these approaches have demonstrated bandwidth exceeding that of the mechanical system, and all of them require optical power, which are both fundamental and practical issues. Here we resolve both of these challenges through breaking of time-reversal symmetry using an acoustic pump in an integrated nanophotonic circuit. GHz-bandwidth optomechanical non-reciprocity is demonstrated using the action of a 2-dimensional surface acoustic wave pump, that simultaneously provides non-zero overlap integral for light-sound interaction and also satisfies the necessary phase-matching. We use this technique to produce a simple frequency shifting isolator (i.e. a non-reciprocal modulator) by means of indirect interband scattering. We demonstrate mode conversion asymmetry up to 15 dB, efficiency as high as 17%, over bandwidth exceeding 1 GHz.

description: We report a high precision measurement of electron beam polarization using Compton polarimetry. The measurement was made in experimental Hall A at Jefferson Lab during the CREX experiment in 2020. A total uncertainty of dP/P=0.36% was achieved detecting the back-scattered photons from the Compton scattering process. This is the highest accuracy in a measurement of electron beam polarization using Compton scattering ever reported, surpassing the ground-breaking measurement from the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) Compton polarimeter. Such uncertainty reaches the level required for the future flagship measurements to be made by the MOLLER and SoLID experiments.

description: Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is a method to obtain a posterior distribution without a likelihood function, using simulations and a set of distance metrics. For that reason, it has recently been gaining popularity as an analysis tool in cosmology and astrophysics. Its drawback, however, is a slow convergence rate. We propose a novel method, which we call qABC, to accelerate ABC with Quantile Regression. In this method, we create a model of quantiles of distance measure as a function of input parameters. This model is trained on a small number of simulations and estimates which regions of the prior space are likely to be accepted into the posterior. Other regions are then immediately rejected. This procedure is then repeated as more simulations are available. We apply it to the practical problem of estimation of redshift distribution of cosmological samples, using forward modelling developed in previous work. The qABC method converges to nearly same posterior as the basic ABC. It uses, however, only 20\% of the number of simulations compared to basic ABC, achieving a fivefold gain in execution time for our problem. For other problems the acceleration rate may vary; it depends on how close the prior is to the final posterior. We discuss possible improvements and extensions to this method.

description: Regulators require financial institutions to estimate counterparty default risks from liquid CDS quotes for the valuation and risk management of OTC derivatives. However, the vast majority of counterparties do not have liquid CDS quotes and need proxy CDS rates. Existing methods cannot account for counterparty-specific default risks; we propose to construct proxy CDS rates by associating to illiquid counterparty liquid CDS Proxy based on Machine Learning Techniques. After testing 156 classifiers from 8 most popular classifier families, we found that some classifiers achieve highly satisfactory accuracy rates. Furthermore, we have rank-ordered the performances and investigated performance variations amongst and within the 8 classifier families. This paper is, to the best of our knowledge, the first systematic study of CDS Proxy construction by Machine Learning techniques, and the first systematic classifier comparison study based entirely on financial market data. Its findings both confirm and contrast existing classifier performance literature. Given the typically highly correlated nature of financial data, we investigated the impact of correlation on classifier performance. The techniques used in this paper should be of interest for financial institutions seeking a CDS Proxy method, and can serve for proxy construction for other financial variables. Some directions for future research are indicated.

description: We model power grids transporting electricity generated by intermittent renewable sources as complex networks, where line failures can emerge indirectly by noisy power input at the nodes. By combining concepts from statistical physics and the physics of power flows, and taking weather correlations into account, we rank line failures according to their likelihood and establish the most likely way such failures occur and propagate. Our insights are mathematically rigorous in a small-noise limit and are validated with data from the German transmission grid.

description: The recent technological advances in controlling and manipulating fluids have enabled the experimental realization of acoustic analogues of gravitational black holes. A flowing fluid provides an effective curved spacetime on which sound waves can propagate, allowing the simulation of gravitational geometries and related phenomena. The last decade has witnessed a variety of hydrodynamic experiments testing disparate aspects of black hole physics culminating in the recent experimental evidence of Hawking radiation and Penrose superradiance. In this Perspective, we discuss the potential use of analogue hydrodynamic systems beyond classical general relativity towards the exploration of quantum gravitational effects. These include possible insights into the information-loss paradox, black hole physics with Planck-scale quantum corrections, emergent gravity scenarios and the regularization of curvature singularities. We aim at bridging the gap between the non-overlapping communities of experimentalists working with classical and quantum fluids and quantum-gravity theorists, illustrating the opportunities made possible by the latest experimental and theoretical developments in these important areas of research

Accretion, feedback and galaxy bimodality: a comparison of the GalICS semi-analytic model and cosmological SPH simulations

description: We compare the galaxy population of an SPH simulation to those predicted by the GalICS semi-analytic model and a stripped down version without supernova and AGN feedback. The SPH simulation and the no-feedback GalICS model make similar predictions for the baryonic mass functions of galaxies and for the dependence of these mass functions on environment and redshift. The two methods also make similar predictions for the galaxy content of dark matter haloes as a function of halo mass and for the gas accretion history of galaxies. Both the SPH and no-feedback GalICS models predict a bimodal galaxy population at z=0. The "red'' sequence of gas poor, old galaxies is populated mainly by satellite systems while, contrary to observations, the central galaxies of massive haloes lie on the "blue'' star-forming sequence as a result of continuing hot gas accretion at late times. Furthermore, both models overpredict the observed baryonic mass function, especially at the high mass end. In the full GalICS model, supernova-driven outflows reduce the masses of low and intermediate mass galaxies by about a factor of two. AGN feedback suppresses gas cooling in large haloes, producing a sharp cut-off in the baryonic mass function and moving the central galaxies of these massive haloes to the red sequence. Our results imply that the observational failings of the SPH simulation and the no-feedback GalICS model are a consequence of missing input physics rather than computational inaccuracies, that truncating gas accretion by satellite galaxies automatically produces a bimodal galaxy distribution with a red sequence, but that explaining the red colours of the most massive galaxies requires a mechanism like AGN feedback that suppresses the accretion onto central galaxies in large haloes.

description: We replace the established aluminium gates for the formation of quantum dots in silicon with gates made from palladium. We study the morphology of both aluminium and palladium gates with transmission electron microscopy. The native aluminium oxide is found to be formed all around the aluminium gates, which could lead to the formation of unintentional dots. Therefore, we report on a novel fabrication route that replaces aluminium and its native oxide by palladium with atomic-layer-deposition-grown aluminium oxide. Using this approach, we show the formation of low-disorder gate-defined quantum dots, which are reproducibly fabricated. Furthermore, palladium enables us to further shrink the gate design, allowing us to perform electron transport measurements in the few-electron regime in devices comprising only two gate layers, a major technological advancement. It remains to be seen, whether the introduction of palladium gates can improve the excellent results on electron and nuclear spin qubits defined with an aluminium gate stack.
Limits on primordial black holes from $μ$ distortions in cosmic microwave background

description: If primordial black holes (PBHs) form directly from inhomogeneities in the early Universe, then the number in the mass range $10^5 -10^{12}M_{\odot}$ is severely constrained by upper limits to the $μ$ distortion in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). This is because inhomogeneities on these scales will be dissipated by Silk damping in the redshift interval $5\times 10^4\lesssim z\lesssim2\times 10^6$. If the primordial fluctuations on a given mass scale have a Gaussian distribution and PBHs form on the high-$σ$ tail, as in the simplest scenarios, then the $μ$ constraints exclude PBHs in this mass range from playing any interesting cosmological role. Only if the fluctuations are highly non-Gaussian, or form through some mechanism unrelated to the primordial fluctuations, can this conclusion be obviated.

description: We present, for the first time, a set of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) fragmentation functions (FFs) describing the production of charmed-meson $D^{*+}$ from partons. Exploiting the universality and scaling violations of FFs, we extract the NLO and NNLO FFs through a global fit to all relevant data sets from single-inclusive $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The uncertainties for the resulting FFs as well as the corresponding observables are estimated using the Hessian approach. We evaluate the quality of the {\tt SKM18} FFs determined in this analysis by comparing with the recent results in literature and show how they describe the available data for single-inclusive $D^{*+}$-meson production in electron-positron annihilation. As a practical application, we apply the extracted FFs to make our theoretical predictions for the scaled-energy distributions of $D^{*+}$-mesons inclusively produced in top quark decays. We explore the implications of {\tt SKM18} for LHC phenomenology and show that our findings of this study can be introduced as a channel to indirect search for top-quark properties.
