Abstract:

The T2K collaboration[1] is upgrading the near detector (ND280)[2] with four additional subdetectors: a time of flight detector (TOF), two high-angle TPCs (HATPC), and the super fine-grained detector (Super-FGD). The Super-FGD is the most ambitious project, consisting of 2 million of scintillator cubes read by optic fibers along three directions, allowing three-dimensional track reconstruction in a 2-tons fiducial mass detector. The remarkable advantages are low proton detection momentum threshold, neutron detection ability, and 4π angular acceptance. A crucial element for the success of this detector is the Front-End electronics, comprising more than 200 Front-End Boards (FEB) based on the CITIROC chips, reading almost 60’000 thousands SiPM channels. When dealing with such complex electronic devices, the producing companies do not have the knowledge to test the hardware in what is relevant from a physics standpoint, thus it is the job of the physicist to design a test bench that proves the reliability of the read-out electronics. This talk presents a novel, custom-made test bench, entirely developed at the University of Geneva, to reliably test the hardware of the 243 FEBs produced for the Super-FGD, and locate any hardware problem. This setup allowed us to test the quality of the Front-End boards in all their features: connection of readout channels, slow control lines,voltage and temperature sensors, and safety circuitry in a very short time (6 minutes per FEB), with a table-top setup and user-friendly software. Furthermore, this setup will be used during the detector run for on-site diagnostics of the electronics.

description: We present the result of a calculation of the next-to-leading correction to the Higgs propagator in the 1/N expansion, where the Higgs sector is treated as an O(N) symmetric sigma-model. The results are compared with two-loop perturbation theory. The existing discrepancy between the lowest order of the 1/N expansion and perturbation theory is dramatically reduced by including the NLO in 1/N. We find a maximum effective Higgs mass of 930-980 GeV. We give an approximate relation between Higgs width and mass, which can be used for phenomenological purposes.

description: La data del 7 Febbraio del 1563 è quella del giorno in cui Torino venne proclamata capitale degli Stati Sabaudi. Essa è quindi una data importantissima per la città, che però pare passare inosservata. Se non fosse stato per la lungimiranza di Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, che scelse la città come nuova capitale del Ducato al posto di Chambéry, Torino non avrebbe fato l'Italia. La data del 7 Febbraio1563 è anche la data scelta da Giuditta Dembech come data convenzionale per la nascita di Torino. In un suo libro, si parte dalla città romana, di cui si sottolinea l'orientamento solare del decumano. Non avendo la data di fondazione romana, la scrittrice ha appunto scelto l'ingresso ufficiale di Emanuele Filiberto in Torino. Ora si discute quanto compare nel libro di Dembech, rispetto a quanto in passato propose nel 1869 lo storico tedesco Heinrich Nissen sulla direzione dei decumani.
description: Aggiunta foto - Di recente ho individuato due scritti di Heinrich Nissen che parlano di Torino. Uno è un accenno all'orientazione di Torino col sorgere del sole al solstizio d'inverno, l'altro è specifico sulla Torino Romana, con riferimento al libro di Carlo Promis, Storia dell'antica Torino: Julia Augusta Taurinorum, 1869. Si invita quindi al mio "La fondazione di Torino come Augusta Taurinorum e la datazione della colonia romana". Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2527545
Persistent Current in an Artificial Quantum Dot Molecule

description: Using an exact diagonalization technique within a generalized Mott-Hubbard Hamiltonian, we predict the existence of a ground state persistent current in coherent two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dot arrays pierced by an external magnetic flux. The calculated persistent current, which arises from the nontrivial dependence of the ground state energy on the external flux, exists in isolated arrays without any periodic boundary condition. The sensitivity of the calculated persistent current to interaction and disorder is shown to reflect the intricacies of various Anderson-Mott-Hubbard quantum phase transitions in two dimensional systems.

description: This paper presents BUT ReverbDB - a dataset of real room impulse responses (RIR), background noises and re-transmitted speech data. The retransmitted data includes LibriSpeech test-clean, 2000 HUB5 English evaluation and part of 2010 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation datasets. We provide a detailed description of RIR collection (hardware, software, post-processing) that can serve as a "cook-book" for similar efforts. We also validate BUT ReverbDB in two sets of automatic speech recognition (ASR) experiments and draw conclusions for augmenting ASR training data with real and artificially generated RIRs. We show that a limited number of real RIRs, carefully selected to match the target environment, provide results comparable to a large number of artificially generated RIRs, and that both sets can be combined to achieve the best ASR results. The dataset is distributed for free under a non-restrictive license and it currently contains data from 8 rooms, which is growing. The distribution package also contains a Kaldi-based recipe for augmenting publicly available AMI close-talk meeting data and test the results on an AMI single distant microphone set, allowing it to reproduce our experiments.

Year: 1999

description: Within the replica framework we study analytically the instance space of the number partitioning problem. This classic integer programming problem consists of partitioning a sequence of N positive real numbers $\{a_1, a_2,..., a_N}$ (the instance) into two sets such that the absolute value of the difference of the sums of $a_j$ over the two sets is minimized. We show that there is an upper bound $α_c N$ to the number of perfect partitions (i.e. partitions for which that difference is zero) and characterize the statistical properties of the instances for which those partitions exist. In particular, in the case that the two sets have the same cardinality (balanced partitions) we find $α_c=1/2$. Moreover, we show that the disordered model resulting from hte instance space approach can be viewed as a model of replicators where the random interactions are given by the Hebb rule.

description: We provide a definition of ephemeral multi-persistent modules and prove that the quotient of persistent modules by the ephemeral ones is equivalent to the category of $γ$-sheaves. In the case of one-dimensional persistence, our definition agrees with the usual one showing that the observable category and the category of $γ$-sheaves are equivalent. We also establish isometry theorems between the category of persistent modules and $γ$-sheaves both endowed with their interleaving distance. Finally, we compare the interleaving and convolution distances.

Nonet classification of the determined bare states is discussed.

description: Using a model for the equation of state and composition of dense matter and the magnitude of singlet proton superconductivity and triplet neutron superfluidity, we perform the first simultaneous fit of neutron star masses and radii determined from observations of quiescent low-mass x-ray binaries and luminosities and ages determined from observations of isolated neutron stars. We find that the Vela pulsar strongly determines the values inferred for the superfluid/superconducting gaps and the neutron star radius. We find, regardless of whether or not the Vela pulsar is included in the analysis, that the threshold density for the direct Urca process lies between the central density of 1.7 and 2 solar mass neutron stars. We also find that two solar mass stars are unlikely to cool principally by the direct Urca process because of the suppression by neutron triplet superfluidity.

We investigate the constraints these Swampland Criteria impose on Warm Inflation parameters and show that Warm Inflation is in accordance with both the current cosmological observations and the proposed Swampland Criteria in both weak and strong dissipative regimes depending on the value of the parameter $c$ which limits the slope of the inflaton potential according to the criteria.

description: This paper describes a technique to assess the correspondence between patterns of similarity in the brain's response to speech sounds and the patterns of similarity encoded in phonological feature systems, by quantifying the recoverability of phonological features from the neural data using supervised learning. The technique is applied to EEG recordings collected during passive listening to consonant-vowel syllables. Three published phonological feature systems are compared, and are shown to differ in their ability to recover certain speech sound contrasts from the neural data. For the phonological feature system that best reflects patterns of similarity in the neural data, a leave-one-out analysis indicates some consistency across subjects in which features have greatest impact on the fit, but considerable across-subject heterogeneity remains in the rank ordering of features in this regard.

By means of computer simulations we find the relation between the intrinsic dynamics of each member of the population and their mutual interaction that ensures, in a general context, the existence of a fully synchronized regime. This condition turns out to be the same than the obtained for the globally coupled population. When the condition is not completely satisfied we find different spatial structures. This also gives some hints about self-organized criticality.

Production of Z bosons and neutrinos in early universe

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Production of Z bosons and neutrinos is studied in the expanding de Sitter universe. The expression of the transition amplitudes in the case of Z boson interaction with leptons is established by using perturbative methods. Then the amplitude and probability for the spontaneous generation from vacuum of a Z boson a neutrino and an antineutrino are computed analytically and a graphical analysis is performed in terms of the expansion parameter. We found that the probability for this process is nonvanishing only for large expansion conditions of the early Universe. We discuss the Minkowski limit and obtain that in this limit the amplitude is zero, result which corresponds to the well established fact that spontaneous particle generation from vacuum in Minkowski space-time is forbidden by the simultaneous energy and momentum conservation in perturbative processes. The total probability of the process is computed and we prove that this quantity is important only for the regime of large expansion from early universe and is vanishing in the Minkowski limit.

Josephson Coupling, Phase Correlations, and Josephson Plasma Resonance in Vortex Liquid Phase

description: Josephson plasma resonance has been introduced recently as a powerful tool to probe interlayer Josephson coupling in different regions of the vortex phase diagram in layered superconductors. In the liquid phase, the high temperature expansion with respect to the Josephson coupling connects the Josephson plasma frequency with the phase correlation function. This function, in turn, is directly related to the pair distribution function of the liquid. We develop a recipe to extract the phase and density correlation functions from the dependencies of the plasma resonance frequency $ω_p({\bf B})$ and the $c$ axis conductivity $σ_c({\bf B}) $ on the {\it ab}-component of the magnetic field at fixed {\it c} -component. Using Langevin dynamic simulations of two-dimensional vortex arrays we calculate density and phase correlation functions at different temperatures. Calculated phase correlations describe very well the experimental angular dependence of the plasma resonance field. We also demonstrate that in the case of weak damping in the liquid phase, broadening of the JPR line is caused mainly by random Josephson coupling arising from the density fluctuations of pancake vortices. In this case the JPR line has a universal shape, which is determined only by parameters of the superconductors and temperature.

description: The fusion of multimodal sensor streams, such as camera, lidar, and radar measurements, plays a critical role in object detection for autonomous vehicles, which base their decision making on these inputs. While existing methods exploit redundant information in good environmental conditions, they fail in adverse weather where the sensory streams can be asymmetrically distorted. These rare "edge-case" scenarios are not represented in available datasets, and existing fusion architectures are not designed to handle them. To address this challenge we present a novel multimodal dataset acquired in over 10,000km of driving in northern Europe. Although this dataset is the first large multimodal dataset in adverse weather, with 100k labels for lidar, camera, radar, and gated NIR sensors, it does not facilitate training as extreme weather is rare. To this end, we present a deep fusion network for robust fusion without a large corpus of labeled training data covering all asymmetric distortions. Departing from proposal-level fusion, we propose a single-shot model that adaptively fuses features, driven by measurement entropy. We validate the proposed method, trained on clean data, on our extensive validation dataset. Code and data are available here https://github.com/princeton-computational-imaging/SeeingThroughFog.

description: An increasing number of low carrier density materials exhibit a surprisingly large transport mean free path due to inefficient momentum relaxation. Consequently, charge transport in these systems is markedly non-ohmic but rather ballistic or hydrodynamic, features which can be explored by driving current through narrow channels. Using a kinetic equation approach we theoretically investigate how a non-quantizing magnetic field discerns ballistic and hydrodynamic transport, in particular in the spatial dependence of the transverse electric field, $E_y$: We find that $E_y$ is locally enhanced when the flow exhibits a sharp directional anisotropy in the non-equilibrium density. As a consequence, at weak magnetic fields, the curvature of $E_y$ has opposite signs in the ballistic and hydrodynamic regimes. Moreover, we find a robust signature of the onset of non-local correlations in the form of distinctive peaks of the transverse field, which are accessible by local measurements. Our results demonstrate that a purely hydrodynamic approach is insufficient in the Gurzhi regime once a magnetic field is introduced.

description: We investigate the influence of domain walls on the vortex dynamics in superconductors with multi-component order parameters. We show that, due to their complex structure domain walls can carry vortices with fractional flux quanta. The decay of conventional vortices into fractional ones on domain walls is examined. This decay presents an extraordinarily strong pinning mechanism for vortices and turns domain walls occupied with pinned fractional vortices into efficient barriers for the vortex motion. Therefore, domain walls can act as fences for the flux flow, preventing the decay of the remnant magnetic flux enclosed by them. Furthermore, the consequences of this property of domain walls on the vortex dynamics are discussed in connection with observed noise in the hysteresis cycle, using the Bean model of the critical vortex state. Based on this picture experimental data in the unconventional superconductors UPt$_3$, U$_{1-x}$Th$_x$Be$_{13}$ and Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ are interpreted.

description: This study explores the evolving role of artificial intelligence in strategic decision-making through a review of 64 peer-reviewed articles, utilizing thematic cluster identification, content analysis, and bibliometric techniques. The review identifies three main themes: AI-human synergy in decision-making, adaptability, and AI’s involvement in strategy formulation, alongside its potential drawbacks. The findings highlight AI’s transformative impact on human judgment and decision-making, stressing human-AI collaboration’s importance in reducing cognitive biases like anchoring and overconfidence. The study emphasizes critical factors, including human cognition, trust, and managerial vulnerability, while recognizing the role of big data and analytics in enabling data-driven strategies. The intellectual progression of the field reveals a shift from technical AI explorations to integrated frameworks that focus on trust, transparency, and leadership for fostering collaboration. Critical gaps include aligning AI with organizational goals, sector-specific strategies, and ethical considerations. Future research should explore managerial challenges, collaboration models, and policy implications.

description: Many novel properties of non-Hermitian systems are found at or near the exceptional points-branch points of complex energy surfaces at which eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce. In particular, higher-order exceptional points can result in optical structures that are ultrasensitive to external perturbations. Here we show that an arbitrary order exceptional point can be achieved in a simple system consisting of identical resonators placed near a waveguide. Unidirectional coupling between any two chiral dipolar states of the resonators mediated by the waveguide mode leads to the exceptional point, which is protected by the transverse spin-momentum locking of the guided wave and is independent of the positions of the resonators. Various analytic response functions of the resonators at the exceptional points are experimentally manifested in the microwave regime. The enhancement of sensitivity to external perturbations near the exceptional point is also numerically and analytically demonstrated.

Distribution: Distributed in western and southern Africa; in South Africa only hitherto known from KwaZulu-Natal Province, recorded here from the Eastern Cape for the first time (Fig. 49).
 Remarks: This species was originally described in Viciria Thorell, 1877 and then provisionally included in Evarcha Simon, 1902 by Wesołowska and Cumming (2008), but is closely related to members of Brancus Simon, 1902. It has a slender body with a slightly pear-shaped carapace, elongated narrow abdomen and long legs. The colouration of the female is pale with a contrasting pattern (transverse bands on abdomen and characteristic tear-shaped spots in the foveal area), consistent with other Brancus (see Wesołowska & Russell-Smith 2011 and Wesołowska & Edwards 2012). The structure of the female genitalia is typical for Brancus (see Wesołowska & Cumming 2008: figs 30– 32: sub. Evarcha m.).

Spectral Analysis

description: We present both optical high-resolution spectroscopic and photometric observations of the FS CMa type object MWC 645 which shows the B[e] phenomenon. This star shows strong Balmer emission lines, narrow permitted and forbidden low-excitation emission lines of FeII, [FeII], and OI. The optical spectrum contains emission and weak absorption lines including diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). We found a heliocentric radial velocity of -65 km/s from the emission lines and -22 km/s from the absorption lines. Strong emission lines suggest a high temperature of the underlying star, while the absence of helium lines (HeI) may indicate a lack of helium due to an advanced evolutionary stage. By comparing spectra of MWC 645 and MWC 623 (a binary FS CMa object) we identified lines of neutral metals (LiI 6708, CaI 6717, FeI, TiI, etc.) that characterize the cool component of the binary system. Moreover, the Halpha line has a very intense double-peak profile in the spectrum of MWC 645 and shows strong variations. The spectral energy distribution (SED) also confirms the B[e] phenomenon. The object has a circumstellar envelope that emits an infrared excess. A combination of our photometric and spectroscopic study of the star makes possible to estimate object's temperature. The hot component has a maximum temperature of 20,000 K (early subtype of spectral type B), and the cold component has a temperature of 4000-5000K (spectral type no earlier than G). Analysis of the collected data suggests that MWC 645 is a binary system with the B[e] phenomenon which consists of a hot and a cool component
How good is the Debye model for nanocrystals ?

description: The question here is whether the Debye model is suited to evaluate the specific heat of nanocrystals. For this, the simplest possible nanocrystal is considered: a basic cubic structure made of atoms that interact through a harmonic potential. This simple model can be solved exactly. This allows the dispersion relation of the mechanical waves to be determined, so that calculating the exact specific heat turns out to be quite straightforward. Then, the same problem is solved using the Debye approximation. Our findings show that the specific heat of a nanocrystal evaluated exactly is higher than the value found in the thermodynamic limit, that is to say, the specific heat decreases as the nanocrystal size increases. In addition, it becomes clear that the Debye model is a poor approximation for calculating the specific heat of a nanocrystal. Naturally, the Einstein model yields an even worse result. The cause of the discrepancy is found in the role of the nanocrystal surface.

description: We investigate the effect of electron-electron interactions on the transport properties of disordered quasi one-dimensional quantum wires with two or more subbands occupied. We apply two alternative methods to solve the logarithmic divergent problem, namely the parquet graph theory and a renormalization group calculation. We solve the group equations analytically in the weak coupling limit and find a power-law for the temperature dependent conductivity of a multi-channel system. The exponent is roughly equal to the inverse of the number of the occupied subbands.

description: In order to determine water quality status in the Duero basin (NW Spain),epilithic diatom samples were collected and analyzed in 137 stations in August 2004 followingnormalized standard protocols. The floristic particularities of the diatom assemblages in thebasin are discussed. A total of 429 diatom taxa were identified in the basin and 90 taxa (21%)were new for the Iberian Peninsula. Especially noticeable was the presence of Achnanthidiumrivulare, only known until now from North America. Ordination revealed the existence of fivespecies assemblages related to the following environmental factors: 5-Day BiochemicalOxygen Demand (BOD5), [PO43-], and conductivity. Light and scanning electron microscopymicrographs are provided for some common, infrequent or exotic diatom species present in theDuero basin. Three diatom indices (Specific Pollution Index SPI, European Index CEC andBiological Diatom Index BDI) were applied. All of them correlated significantly with waterphysical and chemical variables, but SPI achieved the best correlations, and is thereforerecommended as the reference diatom index for this Mediterranean basin

description: AmbSAT (or AmoebaSAT) is a biologically-inspired stochastic local search (SLS) solver to explore solutions to the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT). AmbSAT updates multiple variables in parallel at every iteration step, and thus AmbSAT can find solutions with a fewer number of iteration steps than some other conventional SLS solvers for a specific set of SAT instances. However, the parallelism of AmbSAT is not compatible with general-purpose microprocessors in that many clock cycles are required to execute each iteration; thus, AmbSAT requires special hardware that can exploit the parallelism of AmbSAT to quickly find solutions. In this paper, we propose a circuit model (hardware-friendly algorithm) that explores solutions to SAT in a similar way to AmbSAT, which we call circuit-level AmbSAT (CL-AmbSAT). We conducted numerical simulation to evaluate the search performance of CL-AmbSAT for a set of randomly generated SAT instances that was designed to estimate the scalability of our approach. Simulation results showed that CL-AmbSAT finds solutions with a fewer iteration number than a powerful SLS solver, ProbSAT, and outperforms even AmbSAT. Since CL-AmbSAT uses simple combinational logic to update variables, CL-AmbSAT can be easily implemented in various hardware.

description: We present a calculation of the next-to-leading order (O(alpha_s^2 alpha)) QCD corrections to heavy flavor photoproduction with longitudinally polarized beams. We apply our results to study the longitudinal spin asymmetry for the total charm quark production cross section which will be utilized by the forthcoming COMPASS experiment at CERN to obtain first direct information on the polarized gluon density Delta g. We also briefly discuss the main theoretical uncertainties inherent in this calculation. In particular we demonstrate that the factorization scale dependence is considerably reduced in next-to-leading order.
