description: We present TangibleGrid, a novel device that allows blind users to understand and design the layout of a web page with real-time tangible feedback. We conducted semi-structured interviews and a series of co-design sessions with blind users to elicit insights that guided the design of TangibleGrid. Our final prototype contains shape-changing brackets representing the web elements and a baseboard representing the web page canvas. Blind users can design a web page layout through creating and editing web elements by snapping or adjusting tangible brackets on top of the baseboard. The baseboard senses the brackets' type, size, and location, verbalizes the information, and renders the web page on the client browser. Through a formative user study, we found that blind users could understand a web page layout through TangibleGrid. They were also able to design a new web layout from scratch without the help of sighted people.

description: The most observable leakage radiation from an advanced civilization may well be from the use of power beaming to transfer energy and accelerate spacecraft. Applications suggested for power beaming involve launching spacecraft to orbit, raising satellites to a higher orbit, and interplanetary concepts involving space-to-space transfers of cargo or passengers. We also quantify beam-driven launch to the outer solar system, interstellar precursors and ultimately starships. We estimate the principal observable parameters of power beaming leakage. Extraterrestrial civilizations would know their power beams could be observed, and so could put a message on the power beam and broadcast it for our receipt at little additional energy or cost. By observing leakage from power beams we may find a message embedded on the beam. Recent observations of the anomalous star KIC8462852 by the Allen Telescope Array set some limits on extraterrestrial power beaming in that system. We show that most power beaming applications commensurate with those suggested for our solar system would be detectable if using the frequency range monitored by the ATA, and so the lack of detection is a meaningful, if modest, constraint on extraterrestrial power beaming in that system. Until more extensive observations are made, the limited observation time and frequency coverage are not sufficiently broad in frequency and duration to produce firm conclusions. Such beams would be visible over large interstellar distances. This implies a new approach to the SETI search: Instead of focusing on narrowband beacon transmissions generated by another civilization, look for more powerful beams with much wider bandwidth. This requires a new approach for their discovery by telescopes on Earth. Further studies of power beaming applications should be done, which could broaden the parameter space of observable features we have discussed here.

description: Prototyping compact devices with unique form factors often requires the PCB manufacturing process to be outsourced, which can be expensive and time-consuming. In this paper, we present Fibercuit, a set of rapid prototyping techniques to fabricate high-resolution, flexible circuits on-demand using a fiber laser engraver. We showcase techniques that can laser cut copper-based composites to form fine-pitch conductive traces, laser fold copper substrates that can form kirigami structures, and laser solder surface-mount electrical components using off-the-shelf soldering pastes. Combined with our software pipeline, an end user can design and fabricate flexible circuits which are dual-layer and three-dimensional, thereby exhibiting a wide range of form factors. We demonstrate Fibercuit by showcasing a set of examples, including a custom dice, flex cables, custom end-stop switches, electromagnetic coils, LED earrings and a circuit in the form of kirigami crane.

description: We report giant anisotropy in thermoelectric power factor ($S^2σ$) of marcasite structure-type PtSb$_{1.4}$Sn$_{0.6}$. PtSb$_{1.4}$Sn$_{0.6}$, synthesized using ambient pressure flux growth method upon mixing Sb and Sn on the same atomic site, is a new phase different from both PtSb$_2$ and PtSn$_2$ that crystallize in the cubic $Pa\bar{3}$ pyrite and $Fm\bar{3}m$ fluorite unit cell symmetry, respectively. Giant difference in $S^2σ$ for heat flow applied along different principal directions of the orthorhombic unit cell mostly stems from anisotropic Seebeck coefficients.

description: We report a comprehensive study of the energy response to low-energy recoils in dual-phase xenon-based dark matter experiments. A recombination model is developed to explain the recombination probability as a function of recoil energy at zero field and non-zero field. The role of e-ion recombination is discussed for both parent recombination and volume recombination. We find that the volume recombination under non-zero field is constrained by a plasma effect, which is caused by a high density of charge carriers along the ionization track forming a plasma-like cloud of charge that shields the interior from the influence of the external electric field. Subsequently, the plasma time that determines the volume recombination probability at non-zero field is demonstrated to be different between electronic recoils and nuclear recoils due to the difference of ionization density between two processes. We show a weak field-dependence of the plasma time for nuclear recoils and a stronger field-dependence of the plasma time for electronic recoils. As a result, the time-dependent recombination is implemented in the determination of charge and light yield with a generic model. Our model agrees well with the available experimental data from xenon-based dark matter experiments.

description: Two-dimensional magnetic materials (2DMM) are significant for studies on the nature of 2D long range magnetic order but also for future spintronic devices. Of particular interest are 2DMM where spins can be manipulated by electrical conduction. Whereas Cr$_2$Si$_2$Te$_6$ exhibits magnetic order in few-layer crystals, its large band gap inhibits electronic conduction. Here we show that the defect-induced short-range crystal order in Cr$_2$Si$_2$Te$_6$ on the length scale below 0.6 nm induces substantially reduced band gap and robust semiconducting behavior down to 2 K that turns to metallic above 10 GPa. Our results will be helpful to design conducting state in 2DMM and call for spin-resolved measurement of the electronic structure in exfoliated ultrathin crystals.

description: Based on the Isospin-dependent transport model Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (IBUU), effects of the high momentum tail (HMT) of nucleon momentum distribution in colliding nuclei on some isospin-sensitive observables are studied in the semi-central $^{197}\rm {Au}+^{197}\rm {Au}$ reactions at incident beam energy of 400 MeV/nucleon. It is found that the nucleon transverse flow, the difference of neutron and proton transverse flows, the nucleon elliptic flow and free neutron to proton ratio are all less sensitive to the HMT, while the isospin-sensitive nucleon elliptic flow difference is clearly affected by the HMT. Except at very high kinetic energies, the kinetic energy distributions of $π^{-}$, $π^{+}$ and charged pion ratio $π^{-}/π^{+}$ are all sensitive to the HMT.

description: Energy level statistics of a bounded quantum system, whose classical dynamical system exhibits bifurcations, is investigated using the two-point correlation function (TPCL), which at the bifurcation points exhibits periodic spike oscillations owing to the accumulation of levels called the shell effect. The spike oscillations of the TPCL is analyzed by the reduced chi-squared value which deduced to exhibit abrupt increases at bifurcation points, thereby yielding a novel detection approach. Using this method, we attempt to numerically detect the bifurcation points of a lemon-shaped billiard.

description: In a recent work, mean-field analysis and computer simulations were employed to analyze critical self-organization in networks of excitable cellular automata where randomly chosen synapses in the network were depressed after each spike (the so-called annealed dynamics). Calculations agree with simulations of the annealed version, showing that the nominal \textit{branching ratio\/} $σ$ converges to unity in the thermodynamic limit, as expected of a self-organized critical system. However, the question remains whether the same results apply to the biological case where only the synapses of firing neurons are depressed (the so-called quenched dynamics). We show that simulations of the quenched model yield significant deviations from $σ=1$ due to spatial correlations. However, the model is shown to be critical, as the largest eigenvalue of the synaptic matrix approaches unity in the thermodynamic limit, that is, $λ_c = 1$ . We also study the finite size effects near the critical state as a function of the parameters of the synaptic dynamics.

description: We present results of interferometric polarization observations of the recently discovered magnetar J1745-2900 in the vicinity of the Galactic center. The observations were made with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) on 21 February 2014 in the range 40-48 GHz. The full polarization mode and A configuration of the array were used. The average total and linearly polarized flux density of the pulsar amounts to 2.3$\pm$0.31 mJy/beam and 1.5$\pm$0.2 mJy/beam, respectively. Analysis shows a rotation measure (RM) of (-67$\pm$3)x10$^3$ rad/m$^2$, which is in a good agreement with previous measurements at longer wavelengths. These high frequency observations are sensitive to RM values of up to ~2x10$^7$ rad/m$^2$. However, application of the Faraday RM synthesis technique did not reveal other significant RM components in the pulsar emission. This supports an external nature of a single thin Faraday-rotating screen which should be located close to the Galactic center. The Faraday corrected intrinsic electric vector position angle is 16$\pm$9 deg East of North, and coincides with the position angle of the pulsar's transverse velocity. All measurements of the pulsar's RM value to date, including the one presented here, well agree within errors, which points towards a steady nature of the Faraday-rotating medium.

We find that the derivative of a suitably defined planar resolvent can be written explicitly. From this resolvent, we derive the explicit formula for (a linear combination of) the vevs of BPS Wilson loops.

description: In this note we discuss - in what is intended to be a pedagogical fashion - FX option pricing in target zones with attainable boundaries. The boundaries must be reflecting. The no-arbitrage requirement implies that the differential (foreign minus domestic) short-rate is not deterministic. When the band is narrow, we can pick the functional form of the FX rate process based on computational convenience. With a thoughtful choice, the FX option pricing problem can be solved analytically. The European option prices are expressed via (fast converging) series of elementary functions. We discuss the general approach to solving the pricing PDE and explicit examples, including analytically tractable models with (non-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) mean-reversion.

description: We study the alignments of galaxy spin axes with respect to cosmic web filaments as a function of various properties of the galaxies and their constituent bulges and discs. We exploit the SAMI Galaxy Survey to identify 3D spin axes from spatially-resolved stellar kinematics and to decompose the galaxy into the kinematic bulge and disc components. The GAMA survey is used to reconstruct the cosmic filaments. The mass of the bulge, defined as the product of stellar mass and bulge-to-total flux ratio M_bulge=M_star x (B/T), is the primary parameter of correlation with spin-filament alignments: galaxies with lower bulge masses tend to have their spins parallel to the closest filament, while galaxies with higher bulge masses are more perpendicularly aligned. M_star and B/T separately show correlations, but they do not fully unravel spin-filament alignments. Other galaxy properties, such as visual morphology, stellar age, star formation activity, kinematic parameters and local environment, are secondary tracers. Focusing on S0 galaxies, we find preferentially perpendicular alignments, with the signal dominated by high-mass S0 galaxies. Studying bulge and disc spin-filament alignments separately reveals additional information about the formation pathways of the corresponding galaxies: bulges tend to have more perpendicular alignments, while discs show different tendencies according to their kinematic features and the mass of the associated bulge. The observed correlation between the flipping of spin-filament alignments and the growth of the bulge can be explained by mergers, which drive both alignment flips and bulge formation.

description: We present an in-depth study of the spin-orbit (SO) interactions occurring in inversion-asymmetric two-dimensional hole gases at semiconductor heterointerfaces. We focus on common semiconductors such as GaAs, InAs, InSb, Ge, and Si. We develop a semi-analytical variational method to quantify SO interactions, accounting for both structure inversion asymmetry (SIA) and bulk inversion asymmetry (BIA). Under certain circumstances, using the Schrieffer-Wolff (SW) transformation, the dispersion of the ground state heavy hole subbands can be written as $E(k) = A k^2 - B k^4 \pm C k^3$ where $A$, $B$, and $C$ are material- and structure-dependent coefficients. We provide a simple method of calculating the parameters $A$, $B$, and $C$, yet demonstrate that the simple SW approximation leading to a SIA (Rashba) spin splitting $\propto k^3$ frequently breaks down. We determine the parameter regimes at which this happens for the materials above and discuss a convenient semi-analytical method to obtain the correct spin splitting, effective masses, Fermi level, and subband occupancy, together with their dependence on the charge density, dopant type, and dopant concentration for both inversion and accumulation layers. Our results are in good agreement with fully numerical calculations as well as with experimental findings. They suggest that a naive application of the simple cubic Rashba model is of limited use in common heterostructures, as well as quantum dots. Finally, we find that for the single heterojunctions studied here the magnitudes of BIA terms are always much smaller than those of SIA terms.

description: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD) is the main contributor to chronic low back pain. To date, the present therapies mainly focus on treating the symptoms caused by IDD rather than addressing the problem itself. For this reason, researchers have searched for a suitable biomaterial to repair and/or regenerate the IVD. A promising candidate to fill this gap is silk, which has already been used as a biomaterial for many years. Therefore, this review aims first to elaborate on the different origins from which silk is harvested, the individual composition, and the characteristics of each silk type. Another goal is to enlighten why silk is so suitable as a biomaterial, discuss its functionalization, and how it could be used for tissue engineering purposes. The second part of this review aims to provide an overview of preclinical studies using silk-based biomaterials to repair the inner region of the IVD, the nucleus pulposus (NP), and the IVD's outer area, the annulus fibrosus (AF). Since the NP and the AF differ fundamentally in their structure, different therapeutic approaches are required. Consequently, silk-containing hydrogels have been used mainly to repair the NP, and silk-based scaffolds have been used for the AF. Although most preclinical studies have shown promising results in IVD-related repair and regeneration, their clinical transition is yet to come.

description: This article prices OTC derivatives with either an exogenously determined initial margin profile or endogenously approximated initial margin. In the former case, margin valuation adjustment (MVA) is defined as the liability-side discounted expected margin profile, while in the latter, an extended partial differential equation is derived and solved for an all-in fair value, decomposable into coherent CVA, FVA and MVA. For uncollateralized customer trades, MVA can be transferred to the customer via an extension of the liability-side pricing theory. For BCBS-IOSCO covered OTC derivatives, a market maker has to charge financial counterparties a bid-ask spread to transfer its funding cost. An IM multiplier is applied to calibrate to external IM models to allow portfolio incremental pricing. In particular, a link to ISDA SIMM for equity, commodity and fx risks is established through the PDE with its vega and curvature IM components captured fully. Numerical examples are given for swaps and equity portfolios and offer a plausible attribution of recent CME-LCH basis spread widening to elevated MVA accompanying dealers' hedging of customer flows.

description: The Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction - SCRITA is the 5th edition of a series of workshops held in conjunction with the IEEE RO-MAN conference. This workshop focuses on addressing the challenges and development of the dynamics between people and robots in order to foster short interactions and long-lasting relationships in different fields, from educational, service, collaborative, companion, care-home and medical robotics. In particular, we aimed in investigating how robots can manipulate (i.e. creating, improving, and recovering) people's ability of accepting and trusting them for a fruitful and successful coexistence between humans and people. While advanced progresses are reached in studying and evaluating the factors affecting acceptance and trust of people in robots in controlled or short-term (repeated interactions) setting, developing service and personal robots, that are accepted and trusted by people where the supervision of operators is not possible, still presents an open challenge for scientists in robotics, AI and HRI fields. In such unstructured static and dynamic human-centred environments scenarios, robots should be able to learn and adapt their behaviours to the situational context, but also to people's prior experiences and learned associations, their expectations, and their and the robot's ability to predict and understand each other's behaviours. Although the previous editions valued the participation of leading researchers in the field and several exceptional invited speakers who tackled down some fundamental points in this research domains, we wish to continue to further explore the role of trust in robotics to present groundbreaking research to effectively design and develop socially acceptable and trustable robots to be deployed "in the wild".

description: Second-harmonic (SH) generation is tremendously important for nonlinear sensing, microscopy and communication system. One of the great challenges of current designs is to enhance the SH signal and simultaneously tune its radiation direction with a high directivity. In contrast to the linear plasmonic scattering dominated by a bulk dipolar mode, a complex surface-induced multipolar source at the doubled frequency sets a fundamental limit to control the SH radiation from metallic nanostructures. In this work, we harness plasmonic hybridization mechanism together with a special selection rule governing the SH radiation to achieve the high-intensity and tunable-direction emission by a metallic particle-in-cavity nanoantenna (PIC-NA). The nanoantenna is modelled with a first-principle, self-consistent boundary element method, which considers the depletion of pump waves. The giant SH enhancement arises from a hybridized gap plasmon resonance between the small particle and the large cavity that functions as a concentrator and reflector. Centrosymmetry breaking of the PIC-NA not only modifies the gap plasmon mode boosting the SH signal, but also redirects the SH wave with a unidirectional emission. The PIC-NA has a significantly larger SH conversion efficiency compared to existing literature. The main beam of the radiation pattern can be steered over a wide angle by tuning the particle's position.

description: The Advanced LIGO observatory recently reported the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW) which triggered ALIGO on 2015 September 14. We report on observations taken with the Swift satellite two days after the trigger. No new X-ray, optical, UV or hard X-ray sources were detected in our observations, which were focussed on nearby galaxies in the GW error region and covered 4.7 square degrees (~2% of the probability in the rapidly-available GW error region; 0.3% of the probability from the final GW error region, which was produced several months after the trigger). We describe the rapid Swift response and automated analysis of the X-ray telescope and UV/Optical Telescope data, and note the importance to electromagnetic follow up of early notification of the progenitor details inferred from GW analysis.

description: The “FAIR in practice” task force of the EOSC FAIR working group has shown that improvements in FAIR practices are necessary, recommending that research communities must define how the FAIR principles and related concepts apply in their context [EU 2020]. Although a well-known concept within the Earth and Environmental sciences communities, the application of FAIR principles remains quite poor, and the FAIRness of existing resources is rarely measured adequately or not measured at all. In the FAIR-EASE project, we aim to ensure that FAIR principles are fully endorsed to optimise the implementation of application and services for the observation and modelling of the Earth system and environment. To this end, an evaluation of the FAIRness of research objects used by our communities (data, software, VRE, Semantic artefacts) is ongoing, and guidelines to improve their FAIRness will be produced. The presentation will address the evaluation of data and software as well as the methodology and sources used to carry out it. For data, to avoid the risk mentioned by the FAIR Metrics and Data Quality Task Force: “the same Digital Object (DO) assessment by different tools often exhibits widely different results because of independent interpretations of the Metrics, metadata publishing paradigms, and even the intent of FAIR itself” [Wilkinson et al. 2022], the evaluation of the dataset will be performed using two different approaches and the results will be compared: 1) the F-UJI tool is used to obtain a first evaluation based on the metrics produced by the FAIRsFair project [Devaraju el al. 2022], 2) the Fair Data Maturity Model (FDMM) is a “fill-in-the-spreadsheet” and used to conduct a second analysis of the dataset [FDMM2020]. For softwares, the FAIR4RS principles [Chue 2022], which aims to guide creators and owners on how to make their software FAIR, are more appropriate. However, FAIR4RS principles are too abstract to be applied and the definition of specific indicators makes them more concrete and appreciable. An example of transforming these principles into measurable indicators has been conducted by the Elixir Infrastructure [FAIRSoft 2022]. We propose a set of research software indicators for Earth and Environmental sciences communities as a declination of FAIR4RS principles combined with an adaptation of FAIRSoft indicators. Feedback from the community about the methods used, the limitations and difficulties of understanding them will be provided. . Some preliminary conclusions about the indicators used (e.g. are they applicable? are any missing? ) and propositions for improving the different approaches will be discussed together with the next evaluation of other research objects commonly handled by our community, such as semantic artefacts and VRE.

Automated False Positive Filtering for esNetwork Alerts
Creators: name: Zhu, Guangyi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is one of the security tools that can automatically analyze network traffic and detect suspicious activities. They are widely implemented as security guarantee tools in various business networks. However, the high rate of false-positive alerts creates an overwhelming number of unnecessary alerts for security analysts to sift through. The esNetwork is an IDS product by eSentire Inc. This project focuses on reducing the false-positive alerts generated by esNetwork with the help of a Random Forest (RF) classifier. The RF model was built to classify the alerts as high and low and only pass high likelihood alerts to the analysts. As a result of evaluation experiments, this model can achieve an accuracy of 97% for training validation, 88% for testing with the recent data, and 58% with Security Operation Centre (SOC) reviewed events. The evaluation result of the proposed model is intermediate because of the deficiency of clearly labeled data for training as well as the SOC-reviewed events for evaluation. The model still needs time to be fine-tuned to meet the industry deployment requirement.
Phase diagram of an Ising model with long-range frustrating interactions: a theoretical analysis

description: We present a theoretical study of the phase diagram of a frustrated Ising model with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interactions and long-range (Coulombic) antiferromagnetic interactions. For nonzero frustration, long-range ferromagnetic order is forbidden, and the ground-state of the system consists of phases characterized by periodically modulated structures. At finite temperatures, the phase diagram is calculated within the mean-field approximation. Below the transition line that separates the disordered and the ordered phases, the frustration-temperature phase diagram displays an infinite number of ``flowers'', each flower being made by an infinite number of modulated phases generated by structure combination branching processes. The specificities introduced by the long-range nature of the frustrating interaction and the limitation of the mean-field approach are finally discussed.

description: We define the theoretical framework and deduce the conditions under which multi-messenger astronomy can provide useful information about neutrino masses and their ordering. The framework uses time differences between the arrival of neutrinos and the other light messenger, i.e. the graviton, emitted in astrophysical catastrophes. We also provide a preliminary feasibility study elucidating the experimental reach and challenges for planned neutrino detectors such as Hyper-Kamiokande as well as future several megaton detectors. This study shows that future experiments can be useful in testing independently the cosmological bounds on absolute neutrino masses. Concretely the success of such measurements depends crucially on the available rate of astrophysical events and further requires development of high resolution timing besides the advocated need of megaton size detectors.

Testing the Strong Equivalence Principle with spacecraft ranging towards the nearby Lagrangian points

description: General relativity is supported by great experimental evidence. Yet there is a lot of interest in precisely setting its limits with on going and future experiments. A question to answer is about the validity of the Strong Equivalence Principle. Ground experiments and Lunar Laser Ranging have provided the best upper limit on the Nordtvedt parameter $σ[η]=4.4\times 10^{-4}$. With the future planetary mission BepiColombo, this parameter will be further improved by at least an order of magnitude. In this paper we envisage yet another possible testing environment with spacecraft ranging towards the nearby Sun-Earth collinear Lagrangian points. Neglecting errors in planetary masses and ephemerides, we forecast $σ[η]=6.4\,(2.0)\times10^{-4}$ (5 yr integration time) via ranging towards $L_1$ in a realistic (optimistic) scenario depending on current (future) range capabilities and knowledge of the Earth's ephemerides. A combined measurement, $L_1$+$L_2$, gives instead $4.8\,(1.7)\times10^{-4}$. In the optimistic scenario a single measurement of one year would be enough to reach $\approx3\times10^{-4}$. All figures are comparable with Lunar Laser Ranging, but worse than BepiColombo. Performances could be much improved if data were integrated over time and over the number of satellites flying around either of the two Lagrangian points. We point out that some systematics (gravitational perturbations of other planets or figure effects) are much more in control compared to other experiments. We do not advocate a specific mission to constrain the Strong Equivalence Principle, but we do suggest analysing ranging data of present and future spacecrafts flying around $L_1$/$L_2$ (one key mission is, for instance, LISA Pathfinder). This spacecraft ranging would be a new and complementary probe to constrain the Strong Equivalence Principle in space.

On the fate of Birkhoff's theorem in Shape Dynamics

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat solutions of Shape Dynamics were previously studied assuming standard falloff conditions for the metric and the momenta. These ensure that the spacetime is asymptotically Minkowski, and that the falloff conditions are Poincaré-invariant. These requirements however are not legitimate in Shape Dynamics, which does not make assumptions on the structure or regularity of spacetime. Analyzing the same problem in full generality, I find that the system is underdetermined, as there is one function of time that is not fixed by any condition and appears to have physical relevance. This quantity can be fixed only by studying more realistic models coupled with matter, and it turns out to be related to the dilatational momentum of the matter surrounding the region under study.

When does inequality freeze an economy?

description: Inequality and its consequences are the subject of intense recent debate. Using a simplified model of the economy, we address the relation between inequality and liquidity, the latter understood as the frequency of economic exchanges. Assuming a Pareto distribution of wealth for the agents, that is consistent with empirical findings, we find an inverse relation between wealth inequality and overall liquidity. We show that an increase in the inequality of wealth results in an even sharper concentration of the liquid financial resources. This leads to a congestion of the flow of goods and the arrest of the economy when the Pareto exponent reaches one.

description: We study the production rate of ionizing photons of a sample of 588 H$α$ emitters (HAEs) and 160 Lyman-$α$ emitters (LAEs) at $z=2.2$ in the COSMOS field in order to assess the implied emissivity from galaxies, based on their UV luminosity. By exploring the rest-frame Lyman Continuum (LyC) with GALEX/$NUV$ data, we find f$_{\rm esc} < 2.8\, (6.4)$% through median (mean) stacking. By combining the H$α$ luminosity density with IGM emissivity measurements from absorption studies, we find a globally averaged $\langle$f$_{\rm esc}\rangle$ of $5.9^{+14.5}_{-4.2}$ % at $z=2.2$ if we assume HAEs are the only source of ionizing photons. We find similarly low values of the global $\langle$f$_{\rm esc}\rangle$ at $z\approx3-5$, also ruling out a high $\langle$f$_{\rm esc}\rangle$ at $z<5$. These low escape fractions allow us to measure $ξ_{ion}$, the number of produced ionizing photons per unit UV luminosity, and investigate how this depends on galaxy properties. We find a typical $ξ_{ion} \approx 10^{24.77\pm0.04}$ Hz erg$^{-1}$ for HAEs and $ξ_{ion} \approx 10^{25.14\pm0.09}$ Hz erg$^{-1}$ for LAEs. LAEs and low mass HAEs at $z=2.2$ show similar values of $ξ_{ion}$ as typically assumed in the reionization era, while the typical HAE is three times less ionizing. Due to an increasing $ξ_{ion}$ with increasing EW(H$α$), $ξ_{ion}$ likely increases with redshift. This evolution alone is fully in line with the observed evolution of $ξ_{ion}$ between $z\approx2-5$, indicating a typical value of $ξ_{ion} \approx 10^{25.4}$ Hz erg$^{-1}$ in the reionization era.
