Search for Gamma-ray Spectral Lines from Dark Matter Annihilation in Dwarf Galaxies with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory

description: Local dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are nearby dark-matter dominated systems, making them excellent targets for searching for gamma rays from particle dark matter interactions. If dark matter annihilates or decays directly into two gamma rays (or a gamma ray and a neutral particle), a monochromatic spectral line is created. At TeV energies, no other processes are expected to produce spectral lines, making this a very clean indirect dark matter search channel. With the development of event-by-event energy reconstruction, we can now search for spectral lines with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory. HAWC is a wide field of view survey instrument located in central Mexico that observes gamma rays from <1 TeV to >100 TeV. In this work we present results from a recent search for spectral lines from local, dark matter dominated dwarf galaxies using 1038 days of HAWC data. We also present updated limits on several continuum channels that were reported in a previous publication. Our gamma-ray spectral line limits are the most constraining obtained so far from 20 TeV to 100 TeV.

description: Electronic transport in narrow gap semiconductors is characterized by spontaneous vertical transitions between carriers in the valence and conduction bands, a phenomenon also known as Zener tunneling. However, this effect is not captured by existing models based on the Boltzmann transport equation. In this work, we propose a new fully first principles model for electronic transport using the Wigner distribution function and implement it to solve the equations of motion for electrons. The formalism generalizes the Boltzmann equation to materials with strong interband coupling and include transport contributions from off-diagonal components of the charge current operator. We illustrate the method with a study of Bi$_2$Se$_3$, showing that interband tunneling dominates the electron transport dynamics at experimentally relevant small doping concentrations, a behavior that is likely shared with other semiconductors, including topological insulators. Surprisingly, Zener tunneling occurs also between band subvalleys separated by energy much larger than the band gap.

description: Beneficial bacteria living in the rhizosphere pose several implications on plant growth promotion and are highly desirable for sustainable agriculture. In the current study, we explored the ameliorative capacity of Leifsonia xyli SE134, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), against copper (Cu) stress on tomato grown under elevated Cu levels of 50 and 100 mM. Initially, L. xyli SE134 modulated innate gibberellins (GAs) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) metabolism in response to elevated Cu toxicity. The IAA contents increased, whereas that of bioactive GAs decreased in relation to Cu concentration gradient in the broth media. Furthermore, exposure to elevated Cu caused detrimental effects on the physiological attributes as revealed by attenuated shoot length, root length, stem diameter, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, and chlorophyll content in non-inoculated tomatoes as compared to L. xyli SE134 inoculated plants. The growth rescuing effect of L. xyli SE134 may be attributed to the modulation of endogenous amino acids contents in plants, such as glutamic acid, threonine, phenylalanine, glycine, proline, and arginine. Moreover, L. xyli SE134 inoculation stimulated total polyphenol and flavonoid content, reduced super oxide dismutase activity, strongly inhibited Cu, and increased phosphorus and iron content in plants grown under elevated Cu stress. In the absence of Cu toxicity, L. xyli SE134 significantly enhanced amino acid content, improved total flavonoids, and increased phosphorus content, thus resulting in higher plant growth.
Total Global Solar Radiation Estimation Models and Applications: A review

description: In many developing countries, main parameters are measured at meteorological stations, but in some stations solar radiation measurements may not be available. Solar radiation measurements may not be performed due to equipment installation, maintenance, repair costs and calibration requirements. The best way to achieve a physical value is to measure. Estimation models are used to obtain solar radiation values where measurements are not existing. These models allow to estimate global solar radiation with the aid of other measured meteorological parameters. In this study, a literature review is given, the global solar radiation estimation models and their applications are mentioned.

description: Pesticides are an important input in modern agriculture. However, intensive use of pesticides is also related to adverse effects on the environment and human health. While implementation of pesticide taxes with the intent to reduce pesticide applications has been widely discussed, green nudges are considered as innovative policy tools to foster environmental friendly behaviour. To date, little is known about the effects of these policy tools at the farm level. With this in mind, we use a business management game to investigate how a pesticide tax and a green nudge affect crop, tillage and pesticide decisions for a ‘virtual’ farm. Results from a sample of German agricultural students reveal that both policies are able to reduce the amount of pesticides applied. However, implementation of the pesticide tax also involves a substantial profit loss. Unlike in the green nudge treatment, participants under pesticide tax adjust their cropping and tillage strategies which could involve unintended ecological effects.
Theoretical Study of Spin Observables in $pd$ Elastic Scattering at Energies $T_p = 800-1000$ MeV

description: Various spin observables (analyzing powers and spin-correlation parameters) in $pd$ elastic scattering at $T_p = 800-1000$ MeV are analyzed within the framework of the refined Glauber model. The theoretical model uses as input spin-dependent $NN$ amplitudes obtained from the most recent partial-wave analysis and also takes into account the deuteron $D$ wave and charge-exchange effects. Predictions of the refined Glauber model are compared with the existing experimental data. Reasonable agreement between the theoretical calculations and experimental data at low momentum transfers $|t| \lesssim 0.2$ (GeV/$c)^2$ is found for all observables considered. Moderate discrepancies found in this region are shown to be likely due to uncertainties in the input $NN$ amplitudes. Qualitative agreement at higher momentum transfers is also found for most observables except the tensor ones with mixed $x$ and $z$ polarization components. Possible reasons for observed deviations of the model calculations from the data at $|t| > 0.2$ (GeV/$c)^2$ are discussed.

On the tidal interaction of massive extra-solar planets on highly eccentric orbit

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In this paper we develop a theory of disturbances induced by the stellar tidal field in a fully convective slowly rotating planet orbiting on a highly eccentric orbit around a central star. We show that there are two contributions to the mode energy and angular momentum gain due to impulsive tidal interaction: a) 'the quasi-static' contribution which requires dissipative processes operating in the planet; b) the dynamical contribution associated with excitation of modes of oscillation. These contributions are obtained self-consistently from a single set of the governing equations. We calculate a critical 'equilibrium' value of angular velocity of the planet Ω_{crit} determined by the condition that action of the dynamical tides does not alter the angular velocity at that rotation rate. We show that this can be much larger than the corresponding rate associated with quasi-static tides and that at this angular velocity, the rate of energy exchange is minimised. We also investigate the conditions for the stochastic increase in oscillation energy that may occur if many periastron passages are considered. We make some simple estimates of time scale of circularization of initially eccentric orbit due to tides, using a realistic model of the planet, for orbits withperiods after circularization typical of those observed for extra-solar planets P_{obs} > 3days. We find that dynamic tides could have produced a very large decrease of the semi-major axis of a planet with mass of the order of the Jupiter mass M_{J} and final periods P_{obs} < 4.5days on a time-scale < a few Gyrs. We also discuss several unresolved issues in the context of the scenario of the orbit circularization due to dynamic tides.

description: We propose a coarse-grained picture to control ``complex'' quantum dynamics, i.e., multi-level-multi-level transition with a random interaction. Assuming that optimally controlled dynamics can be described as a Rabi-like oscillation between an initial and final state, we derive an analytic optimal field as a solution to optimal control theory. For random matrix systems, we numerically confirm that the analytic optimal field steers an initial state to a target state which both contains many eigenstates.

description: The forthcoming generation of wide-field galaxy surveys will probe larger volumes and galaxy densities, thus allowing for a much larger signal-to-noise ratio for higher-order clustering statistics, in particular the galaxy bispectrum. Extracting this information, however, is more challenging than using the power spectrum due to more complex theoretical modeling, as well as significant computational cost of evaluating the bispectrum signal and the error budget. To overcome these challenges, several proxy statistics have been proposed in the literature, which partially or fully capture the information in the bispectrum, while being computationally less expensive than the bispectrum. One such statistics are {\it weighted skew-spectra}, which are cross-spectra of the density field and appropriately weighted quadratic fields. Using Fisher forecasts, we show that the information in these skew-spectra is equivalent to that in the bispectrum for parameters that appear as amplitudes in the bispectrum model, such as galaxy bias parameters or the amplitude of primordial non-Gaussianity. We consider three shapes of the primordial bispectrum: local, equilateral and that due to massive particles with spin two during inflation. To obtain constraints that match those from a measurement of the full bispectrum, we find that it is crucial to account for the full covariance matrix of the skew-spectra.

description: The value of the alpha spectroscopic factor (S_alpha) of the 6.356 MeV 1/2+ state of 17O is believed to have significant astrophysical implications due to the importance of the 13C(alpha,n)16O reaction as a possible source of neutron production for the s process. To further study this effect, an accurate measurement of the 13C(6Li,d)17O reaction at E_lab = 60 MeV has been performed recently by Kubono et al., who found a new value for the spectroscopic factor of the 6.356 MeV 1/2+ state of 17O based on a distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) analysis of these data. This new value, S_alpha approximately = 0.011, is surprisingly much smaller than those used previously in astrophysical calculations (S_alpha approximately = 0.3-0.7) and thus poses a serious question as to the role of the 13C(alpha,n)16O reaction as a source of neutron production. In this work we perform a detailed analysis of the same 13C(6Li,d)17O data within the DWBA as well as the coupled reaction channel (CRC) formalism. Our analysis yields an S_alpha value of over an order of magnitude larger than that of Kubono et al. for the 6.356 MeV 1/2+ state of 17O.

description: It was recently shown that left-right symmetric models for elementary particles can be built with only two Higgs doublets. The general consequence of these models is that the left and right fermionic sectors can be connected by a new neutral gauge boson $Z'$ having its mass as the only additional new parameter. In this paper we study the influence of the fundamental fermionic representation for this new neutral gauge boson. Signals of possible new heavy neutral gauge bosons are investigated for the future electron-positron colliders at $\sqrt s = 500$ GeV, 1 TeV and 3 TeV. The total cross sections, forward-backward and left-right asymmetries and model differences are calculated for the process $e^+ e^- \longrightarrow μ^+ μ^-$. Bounds on $Z'$ masses are estimated.

description: In this work, we propose to leverage the advantages of both the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based Second Order Reliability Method (SORM) and Importance sampling to yield an Adaptive Importance Sampling based ANN, with specific application towards failure probability and sensitivity estimates of Variable Stiffness Composite Laminate (VSCL) plates, in the presence of multiple independent geometric and material uncertainties. The performance function for the case studies is defined based on the fundamental frequency of the VSCL plate. The accuracy in both the reliability estimates and sensitivity studies using the proposed method were found to be in close agreement with that obtained using the ANN based brute-force MCS method, with a significant computational savings of 95\%. Moreover, the importance of taking into account the randomness in ply thickness for failure probability estimates is also highlighted quantitatively under the sensitivity studies section.

actomyosin contractility

description: Immune cells process a myriad of biochemical signals but their function and behavior are also determined by mechanical cues. Macrophages are no exception to this. Being present in all types of tissues, macrophages are exposed to environments of varying stiffness, which can be further altered under pathological conditions. While it is becoming increasingly clear that macrophages are mechanosensitive, it remains poorly understood how mechanical cues modulate their inflammatory response. Here we report that substrate stiffness influences the expression of pro-inflammatory genes and the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to changes in the secreted protein levels of the cytokines IL-1β and IL-6. Using polyacrylamide hydrogels of tunable elastic moduli between 0.2 and 33.1 kPa, we found that bone marrow-derived macrophages adopted a less spread and rounder morphology on compliant compared to stiff substrates. Upon LPS priming, the expression levels of the gene encoding for TNF-α were higher on more compliant hydrogels. When additionally stimulating macrophages with the ionophore nigericin, we observed an enhanced formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, increased levels of cell death, and higher secreted protein levels of IL-1β and IL-6 on compliant substrates. The upregulation of inflammasome formation on compliant substrates was not primarily attributed to the decreased cell spreading, since spatially confining cells on micropatterns led to a reduction of inflammasome-positive cells compared to well-spread cells. Finally, interfering with actomyosin contractility diminished the differences in inflammasome formation between compliant and stiff substrates. In summary, we show that substrate stiffness modulates the pro-inflammatory response of macrophages, that the NLRP3 inflammasome is one of the components affected by macrophage mechanosensing, and a role for actomyosin contractility in this mechanosensory response. Thus, our results contribute to a better understanding of how microenvironment stiffness affects macrophage behavior, which might be relevant in diseases where tissue stiffness is altered and might potentially provide a basis for new strategies to modulate inflammatory responses.
Is the Two-Dimensional One-Component Plasma Exactly Solvable?

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The model under consideration is the two-dimensional (2D) one-component plasma of pointlike charged particles in a uniform neutralizing background, interacting through the logarithmic Coulomb interaction. Classical equilibrium statistical mechanics is studied by non-traditional means. The question of the potential integrability (exact solvability) of the plasma is investigated, first at arbitrary coupling constant Γvia an equivalent 2D Euclidean-field theory, and then at the specific values of Γ=2*integer via an equivalent 1D fermionic model. The answer to the question in the title is that there is strong evidence for the model being not exactly solvable at arbitrary Γbut becoming exactly solvable at Γ=2*integer. As a by-product of the developed formalism, the gauge invariance of the plasma is proven at the free-fermion point Γ=2; the related mathematical peculiarity is the exact inversion of a class of infinite-dimensional matrices.

description: A systematic study of correlations in the chart of calculated masses of Moller and Nix is presented. It is shown that the differences between the masses calculated by Moller at al and the measured ones have a well defined oscillatory component as function of N and Z, which can be removed with an appropriate fit, reducing significantly the error width, and concentrating the error distribution on a single peak around zero. The residual correlations can have important consequences in the errors as signaling the presence of chaos, as was recently proposed.

Seasonal Entropy, Diversity and Inequality Measures of Submitted and Accepted Papers Distributions In Peer-Reviewed Journals

description: This paper presents a novel method for finding features in the analysis of variable distributions stemming from time series. We apply the methodology to the case of submitted and accepted papers in peer-reviewed journals. We provide a comparative study of editorial decisions for papers submitted to two peer-reviewed journals: the Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society (JSCS) and this MDPI Entropy journal. We cover three recent years for which the fate of submitted papers, about 600 papers to JSCS and 2500 to Entropy, is completely determined. Instead of comparing the number distributions of these papers as a function of time with respect to a uniform distribution, we analyze the relevant probabilities, from which we derive the information entropy. It is argued that such probabilities are indeed more relevant for authors than the actual number of submissions. We tie this entropy analysis to the so called diversity of the variable distributions. Furthermore, we emphasize the correspondence between the entropy and the diversity with inequality measures, like the Herfindahl-Hirschman index and the Theil index, itself being in the class of entropy measures; the Gini coefficient which also measures the diversity in ranking is calculated for further discussion. In this sample, the seasonal aspects of the peer review process are outlined. It is found that the use of such indices, non linear transformations of the data distributions, allow to distinguish features and evolutions of peer review process as a function of time as well as comparing non-uniformity of distributions. Furthermore, t- and z- statistical tests are applied in order to measure the significance (p-level) of the findings, i.e. whether papers are more likely to be accepted if they are submitted during a few specific months or "season"; the predictability strength depends on the journal.

magnetoelastic relaxation

description: Abstract: Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy has been used to characterise strain coupling and relaxation behavior associated with magnetic/magnetoelectric phase transitions in GdMnO3, TbMnO3 and TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 through their influence on elastic/anelastic properties. Acoustic attenuation ahead of the paramagnetic to colinear-sinusoidal incommensurate antiferromagnetic transition at ∼41 K correlates with anomalies in dielectric properties and is interpreted in terms of Debye-like freezing processes. A loss peak at ∼150 K is related to a steep increase in electrical conductivity with a polaron mechanism. The activation energy, E a, of ≳0.04 eV from a loss peak at ∼80 K is consistent with the existence of a well-defined temperature interval in which the paramagnetic structure is stabilised by local, dynamic correlations of electric and magnetic polarisation that couple with strain and have relaxation times in the vicinity of ∼10−6 s. Comparison with previously published data for Sm0.6Y0.4MnO3 confirms that this pattern may be typical for multiferroic orthorhombic RMnO3 perovskites (R = Gd, Tb, Dy). A frequency-dependent loss peak near 10 K observed for TbMnO3 and TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3, but not for GdMnO3, yielded E a ⩾ ∼0.002 eV and is interpreted as freezing of some magnetoelastic component of the cycloid structure. Small anomalies in elastic properties associated with the incommensurate and cycloidal magnetic transitions confirm results from thermal expansion data that the magnetic order parameters have weak but significant coupling with strain. Even at strain magnitudes of ∼0.1–1‰, polaron-like strain effects are clearly important in defining the development and evolution of magnetoelectric properties in these materials. Strains associated with the cubic–orthorhombic transition due to the combined Jahn–Teller/octahedral tilting transition in the vicinity of 1500 K are 2–3 orders of magnitude greater. It is inevitable that ferroelastic twin walls due to this transition would have significantly different magnetoelectric properties from homogeneous domains due to magnetoelastic coupling with steep strain gradients.

Renormalization of Quantum Fields on the Lightcone Worldsheet I: Scalar Fields
Creators: name: Thorn, Charles B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that the lightcone worldsheet formalism, constructed to represent the sum of the bare planar diagrams of scalar ϕ^3 field theory, survives the renormalization procedure in space-time dimensions D not greater than 6. Specifically this means that all the counter-terms, necessary to produce a successful renormalized perturbation expansion to all orders, can be represented as local terms in the lightcone worldsheet action. Because the worldsheet regulator breaks Lorentz invariance, we find the need for two non-covariant counter-terms, in addition to the usual mass, coupling and wave function renormalization. One of these can be simply interpreted as a rescaling of transverse coordinates with respect to longitudinal coordinates. The second one introduces couplings between the matter and ghost worldsheet fields on the boundaries.

description: Inter-valley interference between degenerate conduction band minima has been shown to lead to oscillations in the exchange energy between neighbouring phosphorus donor electron states in silicon \cite{Koiller02,Koiller02A}. These same effects lead to an extreme sensitivity of the exchange energy on the relative orientation of the donor atoms, an issue of crucial importance in the construction silicon-based spin quantum computers. In this article we calculate the donor electron exchange coupling as a function of donor position incorporating the full Bloch structure of the Kohn-Luttinger electron wavefunctions. It is found that due to the rapidly oscillating nature of the terms they produce, the periodic part of the Bloch functions can be safely ignored in the Heitler-London integrals as was done by Koiller et. al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88,027903(2002),Phys. Rev. B. 66,115201(2002)], significantly reducing the complexity of calculations. We address issues of fabrication and calculate the expected exchange coupling between neighbouring donors that have been implanted into the silicon substrate using an 15keV ion beam in the so-called 'top down' fabrication scheme for a Kane solid-state quantum computer. In addition we calculate the exchange coupling as a function of the voltage bias on control gates used to manipulate the electron wavefunctions and implement quantum logic operations in the Kane proposal, and find that these gate biases can be used to both increase and decrease the magnitude of the exchange coupling between neighbouring donor electrons. The zero-bias results reconfirm those previously obtained by Koiller.

On the importance of lensing for galaxy clustering in photometric and spectroscopic surveys

description: We study the importance of gravitational lensing in the modelling of the number counts of galaxies. We confirm previous results for photometric surveys, showing that lensing cannot be neglected in a survey like LSST since it would infer a significant shift of cosmological parameters. For a spectroscopic survey like SKA2, we find that neglecting lensing in the monopole, quadrupole and hexadecapole of the correlation function also induces an important shift of parameters. For $Λ$CDM parameters, the shift is moderate, of the order of 0.6$σ$ or less. However, for a model-independent analysis, that measures the growth rate of structure in each redshift bin, neglecting lensing introduces a shift of up to 2.3$σ$ at high redshift. Since the growth rate is directly used to test the theory of gravity, such a strong shift would wrongly be interpreted as the breakdown of General Relativity. This shows the importance of including lensing in the analysis of future surveys. On the other hand, for a survey like DESI, we find that lensing is not important, mainly due to the value of the magnification bias parameter of DESI, $s(z)$, which strongly reduces the lensing contribution at high redshift. We also propose a way of improving the analysis of spectroscopic surveys, by including the cross-correlations between different redshift bins (which is neglected in spectroscopic surveys) from the spectroscopic survey or from a different photometric sample. We show that including the cross-correlations in the SKA2 analysis does not improve the constraints. On the other hand replacing the cross-correlations from SKA2 by cross-correlations measured with LSST improves the constraints by 10 to 20 %. Interestingly, for $Λ$CDM parameters, we find that LSST and SKA2 are highly complementary, since they are affected differently by degeneracies between parameters.

The contribution of the proton electric dipole moment was obtained via core polarization effects that were treated in the framework of random phase approximation with effective residual forces. We derived a new upper bound $|d_p|< 5.4\times 10^{-24} e\cdot$cm of the proton electric dipole moment.
