description: Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Datenverarbeitungssoftware für ein Outer Tracker Upgrade am LHCb Experiment. Das für 2018/19 vorgesehene Upgrade des LHCb Detektors wird sowohl am Detektor als auch abseits dessen neue Ausleseelektronik einführen. Die Elektronik abseits des Detektors wird aus einer mit einem FPGA bestückten Platine bestehen. Um eine korrekte Datenverarbeitung zu gewährleisten, wird es für jeden Subdetektor eine eigene Datenverarbeitungssoftware auf der Firmware des FPGA geben. Die Datenverarbeitung für den Outer Tracker empfängt die Daten, sortiert die eingehenden Datenleitungen, fasst die Trefferliste und die Driftzeiten aus drei aufeinanderfolgenden Bunch Crossings zusammen, sucht nach Gruppierungen von Treffern und formatiert die Daten zur korrekten Ausgabe. Zusätzlich wird das SantaLuz board vorgestellt, eine Erweiterungskarte für bereits vorhandene FPGA Karten, die bis zu acht optische Transceiver bereit stellen kann.
description: This thesis describes the data processing software for an Outer Tracker upgrade at the LHCb experiment. The 2018/19 intended upgrade for the LHCb detector will introduce new readout electronics on the front end of the detector as well as on the back end. The read out electronics on the back end of the detector will use a common board equipped with a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). To ensure a correct data processing for each subdetector, the firmware used on the FPGA will contain subdetector specific data processing parts. The data processing part for the Outer Tracker includes receiving the data, sorting incoming data streams, merging hit pattern and drift times of three consecutive bunch crossings, clustering and formatting the data for an accurate output. In addition, a mezzanine card called the SantaLuz board, is presented which can be used to extend existing FPGA boards with up to eight optical transceivers.

description: We show that exact time dependent single particle Green function in the Imambekov-Glazman theory of nonlinear Luttinger liquids can be written, for any value of the Luttinger parameter, in terms of a particular solution of the Painlevé IV equation. Our expression for the Green function has a form analogous to the celebrated Tracy-Widom result connecting the Airy kernel with Painlevé II. The asymptotic power law of the exact solution as a function of a single scaling variable $x/\sqrt{t}$ agrees with the mobile impurity results. The full shape of the Green function in the thermodynamic limit is recovered with arbitrary precision via a simple numerical integration of a nonlinear ODE.

description: To benefit from the use of a waste product such as pine sawdust from a sawmill in Michoacán, Mexico, five different pretreatments for the production of reducing sugars by enzymatic hydrolysis were evaluated (sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, steam explosion, organosolv and combined method nitric acid / sodium hydroxide). The main finding of the study was that the pretreatment with 6 % HNO3 and 1 % NaOH led to better yields than those obtained with sodium hydroxide, dilute sulfuric acid, steam explosion, and organosolv pretreatments. Also, HNO3 yields were maximized by the factorial method. With those results the maxima concentration of reducing sugar found was 97.83 ± 1.59, obtained after pretreatment with 7.5 % HNO3 at 120 °C for 30 minutes; followed by 1 % of NaOH at 90 °C for 30 minutes at pH 4.5 for 168 hours with a load enzyme of 25 FPU/g of total carbohydrates. Comparing the results obtained by the authors with those reported in the literature, the combined method was found to be suitable for use in the exploitation of sawdust.

Quantum Circuits for Quantum Channels

description: We study the implementation of quantum channels with quantum computers while minimizing the experimental cost, measured in terms of the number of Controlled-NOT (C-NOT) gates required (single-qubit gates are free). We consider three different models. In the first, the Quantum Circuit Model (QCM), we consider sequences of single-qubit and C-NOT gates and allow qubits to be traced out at the end of the gate sequence. In the second (RandomQCM), we also allow external classical randomness. In the third (MeasuredQCM) we also allow measurements followed by operations that are classically controlled on the outcomes. We prove lower bounds on the number of C-NOT gates required and give near-optimal decompositions in almost all cases. Our main result is a MeasuredQCM circuit for any channel from m qubits to n qubits that uses at most one ancilla and has a low C-NOT count. We give explicit examples for small numbers of qubits that provide the lowest known C-NOT counts.

description: The overestimation of willingness-to-pay (WTP) in hypothetical responses is a well-known finding in the literature. Various techniques have been proposed to remove or, at least, reduce this bias. Using about 30,000 responses on WTP for a variety of power mixes from a panel of 6,500 German households and the fixed-effects estimator to control for unobserved heterogeneity, this article simultaneously explores the effects of two common ex-ante approaches – cheap talk and consequential script – and the ex-post certainty approach to calibrating hypothetical WTP responses. Based on a switching regression model that accounts for the potential endogeneity of respondent certainty, we find evidence for a lower WTP among those respondents who classify themselves as definitely certain about their answers. Although neither cheap talk nor the consequential-script corrective reduce WTP estimates, receiving either of these scripts increases the probability that respondents indicate definite certainty about their WTP bids.

description: Markarian (Mrk) 421 is a blazar, an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) with its jets aligned to our linof- sight. It is therefore possible to detect very high energetic γ-rays, which are produced by ultrarelativitic moving particles inside the jets. In this work this high energetic γ-radiation recorded by the MAGIC-I Cherenkov telescope on the Canary Island of La Palma is analysed. The short-term and long-term variability is examined as well as the spectral shape. Additionally, a periodicity search is performed for the resulting light curve. Finally, the MAGIC-I result is compared to lthe results of instruments measuring in other energy bands to draw conclusions on the acceleration mechanisms inside Mrk 421.

description: In this paper we consider 3-form dark energy (DE) models with interactions in the dark sector. We aim to distinguish the phenomenological interactions that are defined through the dark matter (DM) and the DE energy densities. We do our analysis mainly in two stages. In the first stage, we identify the non-interacting 3-form DE model which generically leads to an abrupt late-time cosmological event which is known as the little sibling of the Big Rip (LSBR). We classify the interactions which can possibly avoid this late-time abrupt event. We also study the parameter space of the model that is consistent with the interaction between DM and DE energy densities at present as indicated by recent studies based on BAO and SDSS data. In the later stage, we observationally distinguish those interactions using the statefinder hierarchy parameters $\{ S_{3}^{(1)}\,,\, S_{4}^{(1)}\} \,,\,\{ S_{3}^{(1)}\,,\, S_{5}^{(1)}\} .$ We also compute the growth factor parameter $ε(z)$ for the various interactions we consider herein and use the composite null diagnostic (CND) $\{ S_{3}^{(1)}\,,\,ε(z)\} $ as a tool to characterise those interactions by measuring their departures from the concordance model. In addition, we make a preliminary analysis of our model in light of the recently released data by SDSS~III on the measurement of the linear growth rate of structure.

Parallel Loopy Belief Propagation in Conditional Random Fields

Publisher: name: Technische Universität Dortmund
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: 004

description: Structured real world data can be represented with graphs whose structure encodes indepen dence assumptions within the data. Due to statistical advantages over generative graphical models, Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) are used in a wide range of classification tasks on structured data sets. CRFs can be learned from both, fully or partially supervised data, and may be used to infer fully unlabeled or partially labelled data. However, performing inference in CRFs with an arbitrary graphical structure on a large amount of data is computational expensive and nearly intractable on a reseacher’s workstation. Hence, we take advantage of recent developments in computer hardware, namely general-purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We not merely run given algorithms on GPUs, but present a novel framework of parallel algorithms at several levels for training general CRFs on very large data sets. We evaluate their performance in terms of runtime and F1 -Score.

description: Random quantum processes play a central role both in the study of fundamental mixing processes in quantum mechanics related to equilibration, thermalisation and fast scrambling by black holes, as well as in quantum process design and quantum information theory. In this work, we present a framework describing the mixing properties of continuous-time unitary evolutions originating from local Hamiltonians having time-fluctuating terms, reflecting a Brownian motion on the unitary group. The induced stochastic time evolution is shown to converge to a unitary design. As a first main result, we present bounds to the mixing time. By developing tools in representation theory, we analytically derive an expression for a local k-th moment operator that is entirely independent of k, giving rise to approximate unitary k-designs and quantum tensor product expanders. As a second main result, we introduce tools for proving bounds on the rate of decoupling from an environment with random quantum processes. By tying the mathematical description closely with the more established one of random quantum circuits, we present a unified picture for analysing local random quantum and classes of Markovian dissipative processes, for which we also discuss applications.

description: This paper deals with inference on extremes of heavy tailed distributions. We assume distribution functions F of Pareto-type, i.e. 1-F(x)=x^-1/y L(x) for some γ> 0 and a slowly varying function L : ℝ_+→ℝ_+. Here, the so called extreme value index (EVI) γ is of key importance. In some applications observations from closely related variables are available, with possibly identical EVIγ . If these variables are observed for the same time period, a procedure called BEAR estimator has already been proposed. We modify this approach allowing for different observation periods and pairwise extreme value dependence of the variables. In addition, we present a new test for equality of the extreme value index. As an application, we discuss regional ood frequency analysis, where we want to combine rather short sequences of observations with very different lengths measured at many gauges for joint inference.

Using precise formulas for the shtuka function for A, we obtain a product formula for the fundamental period of the Drinfeld module. Using the shtuka function we find identities for deformations of reciprocal sums and as a result prove special value formulas for Pellarin L-series in terms of an Anderson-Thakur function. We also give a new proof of a log-algebraicity theorem of Anderson.

description: Prices for emission allowances in Europe’s Emissions Trading System (ETS) have remained low for many years. This fact has given rise to controversies on whether there is a need for a fundamental reform of the ETS. Potential reform proposals include the introduction of a price floor for certificates and a market stability reserve (MSR), which is a rule-based mechanism to steering the market volume of allowances and the preferred approach of the European Commission. With the introduction of the MRS, the Commission aims at increasing and stabilizing certificate prices in the medium- and long-term. In this article, we alternatively recommend retaining the ETS as it is, rather than supplementing it by introducing a minimum price floor or a market stability reserve. Instead, mistakes from the past should be corrected by a single intervention: the final elimination of those 900 million allowances that were taken out of the market in 2014, but would again emerge in the market in 2019 and 2020 via backloading.

description: Effective gravity and gauge fields are emergent properties intrinsic for low-energy quasiparticles in topological semimetals. Here, taking two Dirac semimetals as examples, we demonstrate that applied lattice strain can generate warped spacetime, with fascinating analogues in astrophysics. Particularly, we study the possibility of simulating black-hole/white-hole event horizons and gravitational lensing effect. Furthermore, we discover strain-induced topological phase transitions, both in the bulk materials and in their thin films. Especially in thin films, the transition between the quantum spin Hall and the trivial insulating phases can be achieved by a small strain, naturally leading to the proposition of a novel piezo-topological transistor device. Possible experimental realizations and analogue of Hawking radiation effect are discussed. Our result bridges multiple disciplines, revealing topological semimetals as a unique table-top platform for exploring interesting phenomena in astrophysics and general relativity; it also suggests realistic materials and methods to achieve controlled topological phase transitions with great potential for device applications.

description: Historically, infectious diseases caused considerable damage to human societies, and they continue to do so today. To help reduce their impact, mathematical models of disease transmission have been studied to help understand disease dynamics and inform prevention strategies. Vaccination - one of the most important preventive measures of modern times - is of great interest both theoretically and empirically. And in contrast to traditional approaches, recent research increasingly explores the pivotal implications of individual behavior and heterogeneous contact patterns in populations. Our report reviews the developmental arc of theoretical epidemiology with emphasis on vaccination, as it led from classical models assuming homogeneously mixing (mean-field) populations and ignoring human behavior, to recent models that account for behavioral feedback and/or population spatial/social structure. Many of the methods used originated in statistical physics, such as lattice and network models, and their associated analytical frameworks. Similarly, the feedback loop between vaccinating behavior and disease propagation forms a coupled nonlinear system with analogs in physics. We also review the new paradigm of digital epidemiology, wherein sources of digital data such as online social media are mined for high-resolution information on epidemiologically relevant individual behavior. Armed with the tools and concepts of statistical physics, and further assisted by new sources of digital data, models that capture nonlinear interactions between behavior and disease dynamics offer a novel way of modeling real-world phenomena, and can help improve health outcomes. We conclude the review by discussing open problems in the field and promising directions for future research.

description: Isocyanates are of toxicological relevance since they are considered to cause occupational asthma. The majority of polyurethanes is based on aromatic diisocyanates (e.g., TDI and MDI), they are used for foams, elastomers, adhesives and coatings. Therefore we studied reactions of p-tolylisocyanate (pTI), 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and 4,4- methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (AcCys) with different molar ratios in aqueous buffer solutions of pH 5.0 - 7.4. Type and amounts of products formed in these reactions were identified and quantified. Conjugates of AcCys and the aromatic isocyanates have been synthesized and characterized as reference materials. Conjugates and ureas were found to be the main products. The ratio of these two compounds varied with the ratio of AcCys to isocyanate. Approximately 90 % of pTI conjugate were found for the 10 : 1 ratio, approximately 40 % conjugate for the 10 : 5 and around 15 % for the 10 : 15 ratio. For TDI yields of conjugate were comparable. Ureas, apart from minor amounts of TDA-urea could not be determined quantitatively due to formation of oligomeric ureas with different end groups. Minor amounts of MDI-conjugates were found apart from high amounts of insoluble material, which proved to be unreacted MDI encapsulated by oligomeric ureas. The reaction of the -SH group with the isocyanate moiety is independent of the pH of the solution in the range studied. No diamine, i.e. 2,4-TDA or 4,4-MDA, could be detected in reactions of the diisocyanates 2,4-TDI or 4,4-MDI. Small amounts of p-toluidine (pTA) were found in the reaction of the mono isocyanate pTI when it was in excess with respect to AcCys. Reactions of the isocyanates with an aqueous buffer solution of pH 6.5 in the absence of AcCys gave ureas as main products, while significant amounts of unreacted diisocyanates remained encapsulated in the mixture. No 2,4-TDA or 4,4-MDA was detected under these conditions. Again small amounts of pTA were formed from the reaction of pTI with water.

Mechanism of unconfined dust explosions: turbulent clustering and radiation-induced ignition

description: It is known that unconfined dust explosions typically starts off with a relatively weak primary flame followed by a severe secondary explosion. We show that clustering of dust particles in a temperature stratified turbulent flow ahead of the primary flame may give rise to a significant increase in the radiation penetration length. These particle clusters, even far ahead of the flame, are sufficiently exposed and heated by the radiation from the flame to become ignition kernels capable to ignite a large volume of fuel-air mixtures. This efficiently increases the total flame surface area and the effective combustion speed, defined as the rate of reactant consumption of a given volume. We show that this mechanism explains the high rate of combustion and overpressures required to account for the observed level of damage in unconfined dust explosions, e.g., at the 2005 Buncefield vapor-cloud explosion. The effect of the strong increase of radiation transparency due to turbulent clustering of particles goes beyond the state-of-the-art of the application to dust explosions and has many implications in atmospheric physics and astrophysics.

Rare decays of B mesons via on-shell sterile neutrinos

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In view of the projected high number of produced $B$ mesons in Belle II experiment ($\sim 10^{10}$ per year), in addition to the presently ongoing LHC-b, we calculate the rate of decay for the rare decays of $B$ mesons via a sterile on-shell neutrino $N$, which subsequently may decay leptonically or semileptonically within the detector: $B \to (D^{(*)}) \ell_1^{\pm} N$, then $N \to \ell_1^{\pm} \ell_2^{\mp} ν$ or $N \to \ell^{\pm} π^\mp$. Here, $\ell_1 \not= \ell_2$ in order to avoid serious QED background. We account for the possible effects of the strong neutrino lifetime on the observability of the rare decays. If no charmed mesons ($D^{(*)}$) are produced at the first vertex of the sterile neutrino, a strong CKM-suppression becomes effective; this is not true if we consider instead the decays of $B_c$ mesons which can be produced copiously in LHC-b. The production of charmed mesons $D^{(*)}$ at the first vertex offers an attractive possibility because it avoids strong CKM-suppression. Such rare decays of $B$ mesons could be detected at Belle II experiment, with $N$ neutrino either decaying within the detector or manifesting itself as a massive missing momentum.

description: Given an enzyme-compound couple, how can we identify whether it belongs to a networking couple or non-networking couple? This is very important for investigating the metabolic pathways. To address this problem, a novel approach was developed that is featured by using the knowledge of gene ontology (GO), chemical functional group (FunG), and pseudo amino acid composition (PseAA) to represent the samples of enzyme-compound couples. Two basic identifiers were formulated: one is called "GOFunG", and the other, "PseAA-FunG". The prediction was operated by fusing these two basic identifiers into one. As a showcase, the metabolic pathways were investigated for Arabidopsis thaliana, a small flowering plant widely used as a model organism for studies of the cellular and molecular biology of flowering plants. The average overall success rate via the jackknife cross-validation tests for the 72 metabolic pathways in the Arabidopsis system was over 95%, suggesting that the current approach might become a very useful tool for studying metabolic pathways and many other problems in the cellular networking related areas.

description: In this paper we define, independent of theories, two discriminant matrices involving a solution to the scattering equations in four dimensions, the ranks of which are used to divide the solution set into a disjoint union of subsets. We further demonstrate, {entirely within the Cachazo-He-Yuan formalism,} that each subset of solutions gives nonzero contribution to tree-level $\text{N}^{k}\text{MHV}$ gauge/gravity amplitudes only for a specific value of $k$. Thus the solutions can be characterized by the rank of their discriminant matrices, which in turn determines the value of $k$ of the $\text{N}^{k} \text{MHV}$ amplitudes a solution can support. As another application of the technique developed, we show analytically that in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory, if all gluons have the same helicity, the tree-level single-trace amplitudes must vanish.
