description: The upgrade of the Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detector, in order to increase the detector rate capability and to be able to work efficiently in high rate environment, consists in the reduction of the operating voltage along with the detection of signals which are few hundred μV small. The approach chosen by this project to achieve this objective is to develop a new kind of Front End electronics which, thanks to a mixed technology in Silicon and Silicon-Germanium, enhance the detector performances increasing its rate capability. The Front End developed is composed by a preamplifier in Silicon BJT technology with a very low inner noise (1000 $e^{-}$ rms) and an amplification factor of 0.3-0.4 mV/fC and a new kind of discriminator in SiGe HJT technology which allows a minimum threshold of the order of 0.5 mV. The performances of this kind of Front End will be shown. The results are obtained by using the CERN H8 beamline with a full-size RPC chamber of 1 mm gas gap and 1.2 mm thickness of electrodes equipped with this kind of Front End electronics.

description: Sinal-processing on graphs has developed into a very active field of research during the last decade. In particular, the number of applications using frames con-structed from graphs, like wavelets on graphs, has substantially increased. To attain scalability for large graphs, fast graph-signal filtering techniques are needed. In this contribution, we propose an accelerated algorithm based on the Lanczos method that adapts to the Laplacian spectrum without explicitly computing it. The result is an accurate, robust, scalable and efficient algorithm. Compared to existing methods based on Chebyshev polynomials, our solution achieves higher accuracy without increasing the overall complexity significantly. Furthermore, it is particularly well suited for graphs with large spectral gaps.

RÉPARTITION ET HABITAT. — L. (L.) lapidicola est largement réparti en Europe occidentale et centrale. Il est essentiellement présent en France dans les régions montagneuses de l’Est (Vosges, Alpes dont Alpes maritimes) et de Corse, tandis que sa présence dans les Pyrénées est très douteuse (Iorio 2008, 2014; Geoffroy & Iorio 2009). 14 des stations connues dans le département des Alpes-Maritimes fournissent des informations sur l’habitat où ont été observés les spécimens (Iorio 2008; présent travail): huit prairies/pelouses subalpines et alpines, une lande à rhododendrons, une station au bord d’un lac de l’étage alpin, une mélézaie et une forêt mixte de conifères, et enfin deux grottes. Dans ce département, il est présent de 60 à 2400 mètres d’altitude. Comme évoqué précédemment (Iorio 2008), il semble affectionner surtout les pelouses alpines et subalpines dans des Alpes-Maritimes, tandis qu’il est plutôt euryèce en Italie (Minelli & Iovane 1987; Zapparoli 1993). Dans d’autres départements du Massif alpin, les mêmes milieux apparaissent souvent (Iorio 2010b).On peut toutefois le trouver occasionnellement à basse altitude dans les grottes (Iorio 2010b; présent travail).

description: In this work a reduced-order computational framework for the study of haemodynamics in three-dimensional patient-specific configurations of coronary artery bypass grafts dealing with a wide range of scenarios is proposed. We combine several efficient algorithms to face at the same time both the geometrical complexity involved in the description of the vascular network and the huge computational cost entailed by time dependent patient-specific flow simulations. Medical imaging procedures allow to reconstruct patient-specific configurations from clinical data. A centerlines-based parametrization is proposed to efficiently handle geometrical variations. POD–Galerkin reduced-order models are employed to cut down large computational costs. This computational framework allows to characterize blood flows for different physical and geometrical variations relevant in the clinical practice, such as stenosis factors and anastomosis variations, in a rapid and reliable way. Several numerical results are discussed, highlighting the computational performance of the proposed framework, as well as its capability to perform sensitivity analysis studies, so far out of reach.
Radioactive $γ$-Ray Emissions from Neutron Star Mergers

description: Gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiations from a neutron star merger were discovered on 17 August 2017. Multiband observations of the optical transient have identified brightness and spectrum features broadly consistent with theoretical predictions. According to the theoretical model, the optical radiation from a neutron star merger originates from the radioactive decay of unstable nuclides freshly synthesized in the merger ejecta. In about a day the ejecta transits from an optically thick state to an optically thin state due to its subrelativistic expansion. Hence, we expect that about a day after the merger, the gamma-ray photons produced by radioactive decays start to escape from the ejecta and make it bright in the MeV band. In this paper, we study the features of the radioactive gamma-ray emission from a neutron star merger, including the brightness and the spectrum, and discuss the observability of the gamma-ray emission. We find that more than $95\%$ of the radiated gamma-ray energy is carried by photons of $0.2$-$4$ MeV, with a spectrum shaped by the nucleosynthesis process and the subrelativistic expansion of the ejecta. Under favorable conditions, a prominent pair annihilation line can be present in the gamma-ray spectrum with the energy flux about $3$-$5\%$ of the total. For a merger event similar to GW170817, the gamma-ray emission attains a peak luminosity $\approx 2\times 10^{41}$erg s$^{-1}$ at $\approx 1.2$ day after the merger, and fades by a factor of two in about two days. Such a source will be detectable by Satellite-ETCC if it occurs at a distance $\leq 12$ Mpc.

Forged Authenticity: Governing Deepfake Risks

Year: 2019

description: The manipulation of digital content is not a new phenomenon, but the application of machine learning to the creation of deepfakes has (i) radically improved the quality of output, (ii) slashed the resources required to produce realistic fakes at previously unimaginable scale, and (iii) “democratized” the process with user-friendly tools and services. The proliferation of increasingly realistic fabricated content presents numerous potential risks to individuals, organizations and societies. This report builds on the proceedings of an interdisciplinary expert workshop on deepfakes held by the EPFL International Risk Governance Center in September 2019. It suggests a simple framework for categorizing and prioritizing potential deepfake risks, before providing an overview of 15 potential technological, legal and societal responses.
Proton decay and realistic models of quark and lepton masses

description: It is shown that in realistic SUSY GUT models of quark and lepton masses both the proton decay rate and branching ratios differ in general from those predicted in the minimal $SU(5)$ supersymmetric model. The observation of proton decay, and in particular the branching ratio $B[(p \rightarrow π^+ \overlineν)/(p \rightarrow K^+ \overlineν)]$, would thus allow decisive tests of these fermion mass schemes. It is shown that the charged lepton decay modes $p \rightarrow K^0 μ^+, p \rightarrow K^0 e^+$ arising through gluino dressing diagrams are significant and comparable to the neutrino modes in large tan$β$ models. Moreover, it is found that in certain classes of models the Higgsino-mediated proton decay amplitudes are proportional to a model-dependent group-theoretical factor which in some cases can be quite small. The most interesting such class consists of $SO(10)$ models in which the dominant flavor-symmetric contribution to the up-quark mass matrix comes from an effective operator of the form ${\bf 16}_i{\bf 16}_j {\bf 10}_H {\bf 45}_H$, where $\langle {\bf 45}_H \rangle$ points approximately in the $I_{3R}$ direction. This class includes a recent model of quark and lepton masses proposed by the authors.

Six des stations du département des Alpes-Maritimes où cette espèce a été identifiée fournissent des informations sur les habitats: cinq forêts dont une châtaigneraie, deux mixtes (pins-sapins-hêtres) et une lariçaie; une pelouse subalpine. Elle apparaît comme une espèce monticole, presque toujours trouvée au minimum à 1000 mètres d’altitude (Iorio 2008, 2010b), y compris dans le Nord de l’Italie (Minelli & Zapparoli 1985, 1992; Minelli & Iovane 1987; Minelli 1992; Zapparoli 1993, 2009a).

description: We describe the local D=4 field theory on $κ$--deformed Minkowski space as nonlocal relativistic field theory on standard Minkowski space--time. For simplicity the case of $κ$-deformed scalar field $ϕ$ with the interaction $λϕ^{4}$ is considered, and the $κ$--deformed interaction vertex is described. It appears that fundamental mass parameter $κ$ plays a role of regularizing imaginary Pauli--Villars mass in $κ$--deformed propagator.

T Duality Between Perturbative Characters of $E_8\otimes E_8$ and SO(32) Heterotic Strings Compactified On A Circle

description: Characters of $E_8\otimes E_8$ and SO(32) heterotic strings involving the full internal symmetry Cartan subalgebra generators are defined after circle compactification so that they are T dual. The novel point, as compared with an earlier study of the type II case (hep-th/9707107), is the appearence of Wilson lines. Using SO(17,1) transformations between the weight lattices reveals the existence of an intermediate theory where T duality transformations are disentangled from the internal symmetry. This intermediate theory corresponds to a sort of twisted compactification of a novel type. Its modular invariance follows from an interesting interplay between three representations of the modular group.

(L.) mutabilis à Cannes par Caziot (1925) paraissait douteuse (Iorio 2008), mais la présente observation à Saint-Martin-Vésubie confirme sa présence dans le département des Alpes-Maritimes. À l’image de l’unique habitat d’où elle est attestée, cette espèce y est très probablement sylvicole à l’instar de toutes les autres contrées où elle est connue (Iorio 2014).

description: Precision medicine holds the promise of bringing the right treatment to the right patient at the right time with the upside of reduced undesirable effects. But the impact on healthcare costs are not clear. While targeting of conventional drugs through precision diagnostics may be relatively cost-effective and provide better performance and reduced side effects, fully personalised precision medicine treatments, such as cancer gene therapies, are generally high cost at least in the short term.

description: The Fermi-Hubbard model describes ultracold fermions in an optical lattice and exhibits antiferromagnetic long-ranged order below the Néel temperature. However, reaching this temperature in the lab has remained an elusive goal. In other atomic systems, such as trapped ions, low temperatures have been successfully obtained by adiabatic demagnetization, in which a strong effective magnetic field is applied to a spin-polarized system, and the magnetic field is adiabatically reduced to zero. Unfortunately, applying this approach to the Fermi-Hubbard model encounters a fundamental obstacle: the $SU(2)$ symmetry introduces many level crossings that prevent the system from reaching the ground state, even in principle. However, by breaking the $SU(2)$ symmetry with a spin-dependent tunneling, we show that adiabatic demagnetization can achieve low temperature states. Using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations in one dimension, we numerically find that demagnetization protocols successfully reach low temperature states of a spin-anisotropic Hubbard model, and we discuss how to optimize this protocol for experimental viability. By subsequently ramping spin-dependent tunnelings to spin-independent tunnelings, we expect that our protocol can be employed to produce low-temperature states of the Fermi-Hubbard Model.

description: This paper presents a structure-exploiting nonlinear model reduction method for systems with general nonlinearities. First, the nonlinear model is lifted to a model with more structure via variable transformations and the introduction of auxiliary variables. The lifted model is equivalent to the original model---it uses a change of variables, but introduces no approximations. When discretized, the lifted model yields a polynomial system of either ordinary differential equations or differential algebraic equations, depending on the problem and lifting transformation. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied to the lifted models, yielding a reduced-order model for which all reduced-order operators can be pre-computed. Thus, a key benefit of the approach is that there is no need for additional approximations of nonlinear terms, in contrast with existing nonlinear model reduction methods requiring sparse sampling or hyper-reduction. Application of the lifting and POD model reduction to the FitzHugh-Nagumo benchmark problem and to a tubular reactor model with Arrhenius reaction terms shows that the approach is competitive in terms of reduced model accuracy with state-of-the-art model reduction via POD and discrete empirical interpolation, while having the added benefits of opening new pathways for rigorous analysis and input-independent model reduction via the introduction of the lifted problem structure.

RÉPARTITION ET HABITAT. — Cette espèce vit en Italie et dans l’extrême Sud-Est de la France (Iorio 2008; Geoffroy & Iorio 2009). Nous avons récemment trouvé L. (L.) nicoeensis dans l’Est du Var, à Fréjus (talus herbeux mésophile en lisière d’une route et de bosquets arborés, 43,4814°N, 6,74595°E, IV.2010, réc./dét. EI: 1♀), ce qui constitue une première observation dans ce département. Cette espèce est connue dans d’assez nombreuses stations du littoral des Alpes-Maritimes, mais seules huit stations récentes renseignent sur les habitats: une près d’une plage, une dans une forêt de feuillus divers, une dans une chênaie, une dans une garrigue à chênes verts, une dans une lisière de pinède, trois dans ou à proximité immédiate d’une grotte ou aven. Par contre, il semble que cette espèce ne vive qu’à basse altitude (0 à 800 mètres maximum dans les Alpes-Maritimes).
REMARQUES
La synonymie de L. (L.) nicoeensis avec L. (L.) tylopus Latzel, 1882 suggérée par Minelli et al. (2013) reste incertaine. Nous conservons donc ici L. (L.) nicoeensis en tant que taxon valide, d’autant qu’il a déjà été montré que deux taxons du genre Lithobius morphologiquement très proches pouvaient se distinguer par le seul caractère de la griffe apicale des P15 (cf. les cas de L. (L.) tricuspis Meinert, 1872 et L. (L.) mononyx Latzel, 1888) (Eason 1974; Iorio 2010b, 2014).

The calibration is applied to a complete sample of non-peculiar spirals with i>45 deg and lying within the optical (n=49) or X-ray (n=35) contour of the cluster, resulting in a mean cluster distance of (m-M)_0=31.58+/-0.24 mag (external error) or 20.7+/-2.4 Mpc. The mean distance of subcluster A is 0.46+/-0.18 mag smaller than that of subcluster B, but the individual distances of the members of the two substructures show considerable overlap. The distance modulus is corrected by -0.07 mag for the fact that cluster members have lower H I-surface fluxes and are redder in (B-I) at a given line width than the (field) calibrators. Different sources of the B magnitudes and line widths have little effect on the resulting distance. Different precepts for the internal-absorption correction change the result by no more than +/-0.17 mag. The individual distances of the cluster members do not show any dependence on recession velocity, inclination, Hubble type or line width. The dependence on apparent magnitude reflects the considerable depth effect of the cluster. The adopted distance is in good agreement with independent distance determinations of the cluster. Combining the cluster distance with the corrected cluster velocity of 1142+/-61 km/s gives H_0=55+/-7 km/s/Mpc (external error). If the Virgo cluster distance is inserted into the tight Hubble diagram of clusters out to 11000 km/s using relative distances to the Virgo cluster one obtains a global value of H_0=57+/-7 km/s/Mpc.

description: We present analytical solutions to the nonlinear equations describing the behavior of a gas of neutrinos with two flavors. Self-maintained coherent flavor oscillations are shown to occur when the gas density exceeds a critical value determined by the neutrino masses and the mean neutrino energy in the gas. Similar oscillations may have occurred in the early Universe.

Photo-Transmutation of Leptons

description: By photo-transmutation of leptons we mean photon-lepton reactions of the following type: $γl_α\longrightarrow γl_β$ with $l_α\neq l_β$, occurring as a consequence of the lepton mass matrix changing its orientation (rotating) under changing scales. In this paper, we first discuss these reactions in general terms, then proceed to the calculation of their cross sections in two specific schemes, one within the framework of the conventional Standard Model, the other being the so-called Dualized Standard Model we ourselves advocate. Although the cross section obtained is generally small the calculation reveals certain special circumstances where these reactions may be accessible to experiment, for example with virtual photons in LEP for $γe \longrightarrow γτ$, and in BEPC for $γe \longrightarrow γμ$.

Training Recurrent Neural Networks via Dynamical Trajectory-Based Optimization

description: This paper introduces a new method to train recurrent neural networks using dynamical trajectory-based optimization. The optimization method utilizes a projected gradient system (PGS) and a quotient gradient system (QGS) to determine the feasible regions of an optimization problem and search the feasible regions for local minima. By exploring the feasible regions, local minima are identified and the local minimum with the lowest cost is chosen as the global minimum of the optimization problem. Lyapunov theory is used to prove the stability of the local minima and their stability in the presence of measurement errors. Numerical examples show that the new approach provides better results than genetic algorithm and error backpropagation (EBP) trained networks.
Harmonic superpotentials and symmetries in gauge theories with eight supercharges

description: Models of interactions of D-dimensional hypermultiplets and supersymmetric gauge multiplets with $\mathcal{N}=8$ supercharges $(D{\leq} 6)$ can be formulated in the framework of harmonic superspaces. The effective Coulomb low-energy action for D=5 includes the free and Chern-Simons terms. We consider also the non-Abelian superfield D=5 Chern-Simons action. The biharmonic $D=3,\mathcal{N}=8$ superspace is introduced for a description of l and r supermultiplets and the mirror symmetry. The D=2,(4,4) gauge theory and hypermultiplet interactions are considered in the triharmonic superspace. Constraints for $D{=}1,\mathcal{N}{=}8$ supermultiplets are solved with the help of the $SU(2){\times}Spin(5)$ harmonics. Effective gauge actions in the full $D{\leq}3,\mathcal{N}{=}8$ superspaces contain constrained (harmonic) superpotentials satisfying the (6-D) Laplace equations for the gauge group U(1) or corresponding (6-D)p-dimensional equations for the gauge groups $[U(1)]^p$. Generalized harmonic representations of superpotentials connect equivalent superfield structures of these theories in the full and analytic superspaces. The harmonic approach simplifies the proofs of non-renormalization theorems.

An X-Ray Temperature Map of the Merging Cluster Abell 2255

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present a spatially resolved map of intracluster gas temperatures in the rich cluster Abell 2255, using ROSAT PSPC data. The intracluster gas is strongly non-isothermal and the temperature distribution supports the conclusions of Burns et al. (1995) that Abell~2255 is currently undergoing a merger. The hottest regions are near the core, northwest of the center. A map of the ratio of softer to harder X-ray photons reveals an anomalously soft region northeast of the center, coincident with a radio ridge discovered by Burns et al (1995). We suggest that this cooler region is associated with an infalling group of galaxies which is giving rise to the radio ridge. Meanwhile, a much more substantial recent merger between comparably sized subcluster components can account for the more global merger signatures, which include the extensive central radio halo, the large scale gas temperature variations, the pair of central dominant ellipticals, elliptical X-ray isophotes offset from these dominant galaxies, and the very high velocity dispersion of galaxies in the cluster.

MATHICSE Technical Report: Reduced basis methods: from low-rank matrices to low-rank tensor
Creators: name: Ballani, Jonas
name: Kressner, Daniel
Publisher: name: Écublens, MATHICSE
Year: 2019

description: We propose a novel combination of the reduced basis method with low-rank tensor techniques for the efficient solution of parameter-dependent linear systems in the case of several parameters. This combination, called rb Tensor, consists of three ingredients. First, the underlying parameter-dependent operator is approximated by an explicit affine representation in a low-rank tensor format. Second, a standard greedy strategy is used to construct a problem-dependent reduced basis. Third, the associated reduced parametric system is solved fo all parameter values on a tensor grid simultaneously via a low-rank approach. This allows us to explicitly represent and store an approximate solution for all parameter values at a time. Once this approximation is available, the computation of output functionals and the evaluation of statistics of the solution becomes a cheap online task, without requiring the solution of a linear system.
High Energy Hadron-Nucleus Cross Sections and Their Extrapolation to Cosmic Ray Energies

description: Old models of the scattering of composite systems based on the Glauber model of multiple diffraction are applied to hadron-nucleus scattering. We obtain an excellent fit with only two free parameters to the highest energy hadron-nucleus data available. Because of the quality of the fit and the simplicity of the model it is argued that it should continue to be reliable up to the highest cosmic ray energies. Logarithmic extrapolations of proton-proton and proton-antiproton data are used to calculate the proton-air cross sections at very high energy. Finally, it is observed that if the exponential behavior of the proton-antiproton diffraction peak continues into the few TeV energy range it will violate partial wave unitarity. We propose a simple modification that will guarantee unitarity throughout the cosmic ray energy region.

Nearly-Optimal Mergesorts: Fast, Practical Sorting Methods That Optimally Adapt to Existing Runs

Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)

description: We present two stable mergesort variants, "peeksort" and "powersort", that exploit existing runs and find nearly-optimal merging orders with practically negligible overhead. Previous methods either require substantial effort for determining the merging order (Takaoka 2009; Barbay & Navarro 2013) or do not have a constant-factor optimal worst-case guarantee (Peters 2001; Auger, Nicaud & Pivoteau 2015; Buss & Knop 2018). We demonstrate that our methods are competitive in terms of running time with state-of-the-art implementations of stable sorting methods.

Exact solutions in the Yang-Mills-Wong theory

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: This paper discusses in a systematical way exact retarded solutions to the classical SU(N) Yang-Mills equations with the source composed of several colored point particles. A new method of finding such solutions is reviewed. Relying on features of the solutions, a toy model of quark binding is suggested. According to this model, quarks forming a hadron are influenced by no confining force in spite of the presence of a linearly rising term of the potential. The large-N dynamics of quarks conforms well with Witten's phenomenology. On the semiclassical level, hadrons are color neutral in the Gauss law sense. Nevertheless, a specific multiplet structure is observable in the form of the Regge sequences related to infinite-dimensional unitary representations of SL(4,R) which is shown to be the color gauge group of the background field generated by any hadron. The simultaneous consideration of SU(N), SO(N), and Sp(N) as gauge groups offers a plausible explanation of the fact that clusters containing two or three quarks are more stable than multiquark clusters.

description: We report on a NICER observation of the Galactic X-ray binary and stellar-mass black hole candidate, MAXI J1535-571. The source was likely observed in an "intermediate" or "very high" state, with important contributions from both an accretion disk and hard X-ray corona. The 2.3-10 keV spectrum shows clear hallmarks of relativistic disk reflection. Fits with a suitable model strongly indicate a near-maximal spin parameter of a = cJ/GM^2 = 0.994(2) and a disk that extends close to the innermost stable circular orbit, r/r_ISCO = 1.08(8) (1-sigma statistical errors). In addition to the relativistic spectrum from the innermost disk, a relatively narrow Fe K emission line is also required. The resolution of NICER reveals that the narrow line may be asymmetric, indicating a specific range of emission radii. Fits with a relativistic line model suggest an inner radius of r = 144 (+140,-60) GM/c^2 for the putative second reflection geometry; full reflection models suggest that radii a few times larger are possible. The origin of the narrow line is uncertain but a warp likely provides the most physically plausible explanation. We discuss our results in terms of the potential for NICER to reveal new features of the inner and intermediate accretion disk around black holes.

description: Size-segregated aerosol vertical profiles in the troposphere are critically important for source attribution, transformation processes, atmospheric stability, and radiative forcing. For the first time, the development of a 6-stage impactor for real-time balloon-borne measurements of size-segregated (cutoff diameter [Dae]: 0.15–5 µm) aerosol mass concentrations in the free troposphere was tested during spring 2016 over Hyderabad, India, is presented. Total aerosol mass concentrations obtained with the 6-stage impactor (MTI) and a co-located optical particle counter (MTOPC) measurements at the surface under ambient conditions agreed to within 15%. The effect of aerosol particle growth on the MTI data are assessed using an urban aerosol particle model by scaling mass concentration of water-soluble (hydrophilic) aerosol particles at ambient relative humidity (RH) to that at RH = 50%. An overall uncertainty of the measurement of the MTI was estimated to be about 19%. The altitude variation of size-segregated mass concentrations of aerosol particles along with thermodynamic variables depicted convectively well-mixed layer extending up to about 4.5 km within which aerosol particles showed two distinct layers, one at ∼2 km and another at about 4.5 km. The size-resolved air samples containing aerosol particles collected using the balloon-borne 6-stage impactor will be useful for their chemical characterization and also long-range transport studies.
