description: We investigate the use of stochastic methods for zero energy quantum scattering based on a path integral approach. With the application to the scattering of a projectile from a nuclear many body target in mind, we use the potential scattering of a particle as a test for the accuracy and efficiency of several methods. To be able to deal with complex potentials, we introduce a path sampling action and a modified scattering observable. The approaches considered are the random walk, where the points of a path are sequentially generated, and the Langevin algorithm, which updates an entire path. Several improvements are investigated. A cluster algorithm for dealing with scattering problems is finally proposed, which shows the best accuracy and stability.

Phase Transitions of Fermions Coupled to a Gauge Field: a Quantum Monte Carlo Approach

description: A grand canonical system of non-interacting fermions on a square lattice is considered at zero temperature. Three different phases exist: an empty lattice, a completely filled lattice and a liquid phase which interpolates between the other two phases. The Fermi statistics can be changed into a Bose statistics by coupling a statistical gauge field to the fermions. Using a quantum Monte Carlo method we investigate the effect of the gauge field on the critical properties of the lattice fermions. It turns out that there is no significant change of the phase diagram or the density of particles due to the gauge field even at the critical points. This result supports a recent conjecture by Huang and Wu that certain properties of a three-dimensional flux line system (which is equivalent to two-dimensional hard-core bosons) can be explained with non-interacting fermion models.

nuclear power

description: This study explores whether a nuclear power plant can be combined with a cryogenic energy storage plant to allow the resultant facility to provide variable power to the grid. The study expands on previous literature by performing novel market-led system optimisation to best design the output profile of the plant to improve economic performance in the UK electricity grid. There are three key conclusions that emerge from this study. The current UK electricity market favours plant designs with rapid discharge rate. Provided that the capital cost expectations of the NuScale SMR are realised, strike prices of £55/MWh are sufficient to ensure a return on investment. However, the case for storage remains weak and only becomes viable in extreme spot market conditions.
Further results on O(a) improved lattice QCD to one-loop order of perturbation theory

description: We present results at one-loop order of perturbation theory for various improvement coefficients in on-shell O($a$) improved lattice QCD. In particular we determine the additive counterterm required for on-shell improvement of the isovector vector current. Employing a general mass-independent renormalization scheme we also obtain the coefficients of the O($a$) counterterms which are proportional to the quark mass in the improved isovector pseudo-scalar, axial vector and vector operators. In the latter case a comparison with a recent non-perturbative study is made.

description: This paper draws parallels between the Principal Components Analysis of factorless high-dimensional nonstationary data and the classical spurious regression. We show that a few of the principal components of such data absorb nearly all the data variation. The corresponding scree plot suggests that the data contain a few factors, which is collaborated by the standard panel information criteria. Furthermore, the Dickey-Fuller tests of the unit root hypothesis applied to the estimated “idiosyncratic terms” often reject, creating an impression that a few factors are responsible for most of the non-stationarity in the data. We warn empirical researchers of these peculiar effects and suggest to always compare the analysis in levels with that in differences.
The Elusive Gains from Nationally-Oriented Monetary Policy

description: The consensus in the recent literature is that the gains from international monetary cooperation are negligible, and so are the costs of a breakdown in cooperation. However, when assessed conditionally on empirically-relevant dynamic developments of the economy, the welfare cost of moving away from regimes of explicit or implicit cooperation may rise to multiple times the cost of economic fluctuations. In economies with incomplete markets, the incentives to act non-cooperatively are driven by the emergence of global imbalances, i.e., large net-foreign-asset positions; and, in economies with complete markets, by divergent real wages.

description: This paper replaces CWPE1951.
An additional carbon tax in one market can distort electricity trade with external markets. We show how to estimate the deadweight cost of the distortion and possible external global benefits from reduced emissions, and investigate econometrically the impact of the British Carbon Price Support (CPS, an extra carbon tax) on GB’s cross-border electricity trade with France and The Netherlands. Over 2015-2018 the CPS raised GB day-ahead electricity price by about €11/MWh, after allowing for replacement by cheaper imports. It raised French wholesale price by 3.5% and Dutch wholesale price by 2.8%. The CPS increased GB imports by 12 TWh/yr, thereby reducing carbon tax revenue by €100 m/yr. Congestion income increased by €150 m/yr, half transferred to foreign interconnector owners. The unilateral CPS created €80 m/yr deadweight loss, about 32% of the initial social value created by the interconnector, or 4% of the global emissions benefit of the CPS at €2 bn/yr. About 0.9% of the CO2 emission reduction is undone by France and The Netherlands, the monetary loss of which is about €18 m/yr.

Microreversibility and nonequilibrium response theory in magnetic fields

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For open systems subjected to external magnetic fields, relations between the statistical cumulants of their fluctuating currents and their response coefficients are established at arbitrary orders in the deviations from equilibrium, as a consequence of microreversibility. These relations are systematically deduced from the extension of the fluctuation relation for this class of systems, and analyzed by using methods developed in [M. Barbier and P. Gaspard, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 51 (2018) 355001]. We unambiguously identify, among the statistical cumulants and their nonequilibrium responses, which of these quantities are independent and thus left unspecified by the fluctuation relation, i.e. by microreversibility. We also find the explicit expression of the dependent quantities in terms of the independent ones by means of coefficients of Euler polynomials.

Higgsinos in SUSY Models with Gaugino Mass Unification
Creators: name: Falk, Toby
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the MSSM, the assumptions of a common sfermion mass parameter m_0 and a common gaugino mass parameter m_1/2, along with the requirements from radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, lead to relatively large values of the Higgs mixing parameter mu, and consequently to a gaugino-like lightest neutralino. Lifting the requirement that the Higgs mass parameters unify with the sfermion masses is known to allow for smaller mu. We show that a mu parameter sufficiently small to yield a Higgsino-like neutralino requires a precise adjustment of the Higgs mass parameter m_Hu. Consequently a gaugino-type neutralino is still preferred in SUSY models with gaugino mass unification.

description: This thesis examines how the application of different study modalities (deep/surface-level) and stimuli (music) while studying may affect how engaged students are and how well they perform academically. 20 participants studied both long reading comprehension passages and vocabulary words/definitions before being tested on each type of material. Half of the participants listened to self-selected music, as they studied, while the other half of participants studied in silence. Cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) while studying, which indicated levels of sustained attention, were obtained for all participants through use of transcranial Doppler sonongraphy (TCD).Results indicated that participants struggled to remain attention as they continued to study. This decremented effect was further shaped by differences between hemispheric CBFV values and the type of studying that occurred. CBFV values remained more concordant between hemispheres during deep-level studying than surface-level studying.
Soft gluon resummation for Higgs boson pair production including finite Mt effects

description: We perform the all orders resummation of threshold enhanced contributions for the Higgs boson pair production cross section via gluon fusion, including finite top quark mass ($M_t$) effects. We present results for the total cross section and Higgs pair invariant mass ($M_{hh}$) distribution. We obtain results at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy (NLL) which retain the full $M_t$ dependence, and are matched to the full next-to-leading order (NLO) prediction. Our NLL+NLO results represent the most advanced prediction with full $M_t$ dependence for this process, and produce an increase of about 4% in the total cross section with respect to the NLO result for LHC energies, and for a central scale $μ_0 = M_{hh}/2$. We also consistently combine the full NLL with the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmically (NNLL) accurate resummation computed in the Born-improved large-$M_t$ limit, and match it to the next-to-next-to-leading order approximation of Ref. \cite{Grazzini:2018bsd}, so called NNLO_FTa. We find that the resummation effects are very small at NNLL for $μ_0 = M_{hh}/2$, in particular below 1% at 13 TeV, indicating that the perturbative expansion is under control. In all cases the resummation effects are found to be substantially larger for the central scale $μ_0 = M_{hh}$, resulting in a more stable cross section with respect to scale variations than the fixed order calculation.

description: Community partnerships—coalitions of health plans, physicians, and local groups—can help overcome organizational boundaries and allow competing parties to work together to focus on a shared goal, like the treatment of a chronic condition. In this study, researchers evaluated three community partnership projects sponsored by a national trade association of health plans. These initiatives, focused on quality mprovement in diabetes care, were located in three very different markets in the United States: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Kansas City, Missouri; and Westchester County, New York. Successful community partnerships, the researchers found, can be formed from different starting points and by following different paths. Instead of following a strict set of protocols, the researchers uggest that these groups pay careful attention to principles of group dynamic theory. In addition, a neutral facilitator, like a trade association, can build bridges and help competing concerns be less proprietary.

description: Identification of peer effects is complicated by the fact that the individuals under study may self-select their peers. Random assignment to peer groups has proven useful to sidestep such a concern. In the absence of a formal randomization mechanism it needs to be argued that assignment is `as good as' random. This paper introduces a simple yet powerful test to do so. We provide theoretical results for this test and explain why it dominates existing alternatives. Asymptotic power calculations and an analysis of the assignment mechanism of players to playing partners in tournaments of the Professional Golfer's Association is used to illustrate these claims. Our approach can equally be used to test for the presence of peer effects. To illustrate this we test for the presence of peer effects in the classroom using kindergarten data collected within Project STAR. We find no evidence of peer effects once we control for classroom fixed effects and a set of student characteristics.

description: Transport through a one--dimensional wire of interacting electrons connected to semi--infinite leads is investigated using a bosonization approach. An incident electron is transmitted as a sequence of partial charges. The dc conductance is found to be entirely determined by the properties of the leads. The dynamic nonlocal conductivity is rigorously expressed in terms of the transmission. For abrupt variations of the interaction parameters at the junctions the central wire acts as a Fabry--Perot resonator. When one of the connected wires has a tendency towards superconducting order, partial Andreev reflection of an incident electron occurs.

With the assumption that f+- + f00 = 1, we obtain f00 = 0.49 +/- 0.02(stat) +/- 0.01(syst) and f+- = 0.51 +/- 0.02(stat) +/- 0.01(syst). This production ratio and its uncertainty apply to all exclusive B-meson branching fractions measured at the Y(4S) resonance.

description: We carry out some analysis of the daily data on the number of new cases and number of new deaths by (191) countries as reported to the European CDC. We work with a quadratic time trend model applied to the log of new cases for each country. This seems to accurately describe the trajectory of the epidemic in China. We use our model to predict when the peak of the epidemic will arise in terms of new cases or new deaths in other large countries. We find that for the UK, this peak is mostly likely to occur within the next two weeks. The total number of cases per day will peak at around 8000 yielding a little more than 255,000 cases in total.

description: We show that the bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern suggested by the solar and atmospheric neutrino data can be derived from the maximal, symmetric, four neutrino mixing in the limit that one of the neutrinos is made heavy. Imposing the constraints of no neutrinoless double beta decay and a 20% hot dark matter component of the universe leads to a three neutrino mass matrix recently suggested by Georgi and Glashow. Our result can be useful in constructing theoretical models for the bimaximal pattern. We illustrate this by a simple example.

We generalize a well-known sufficient condition for existence of optimal decisions. A simple numerical example shows how these criteria can work in practice, and demonstrates their differences. Finally, we suggest an efficient approach to calculate optimal decisions under these decision criteria.

description: This thesis describes ideological commonalities of U.S. Patriot Militias and extreme Nationalism. A perceptible increase of American militia organizations in recent years prompted an intensive research project that explores historical movements of far-right extremism in the U.S., correlative features of Nationalism, and current Patriot Militia groups. During this process, systematic literature research was conducted to determine the extent to which extreme nationalist ideology contributes to Patriot Militia discourse and organization. The subsequent findings revealed shared elements of nationalist thought in past and present far-right movements, demonstrated by critical theory and comparative analysis. This thesis supplements the available scholarship of far-right organizations in the U.S. and theoretical frameworks of Nationalism.
Scaling and confinement aspects of tadpole improved SU(2) lattice gauge theory and its abelian projection

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: Using a tadpole improved SU(2) gluodynamics action, the nonabelian potential and the abelian potential after the abelian projection are computed. Rotational invariance is found restored at coarse lattices both in the nonabelian theory and in the effective abelian theory resulting from maximal abelian projection. Asymptotic scaling is tested for the SU(2) string tension. Deviation of the order of $6%$ is found, for lattice spacings between 0.27 and 0.06 fm. Evidence for asymptotic scaling and scaling of the monopole density in maximal abelian projection is also seen, but not at coarse lattices. The scaling behavior is compared with analyses of Wilson action results, using bare and renormalized coupling schemes. Using extended monopoles, evidence is found that the gauge dependence of the abelian projection reflects short distance fluctuations, and may thus disappear at large scales.

The Macroeconomic Stabilization Of Tariff Shocks: What Is The Optimal Monetary Response?

description: In the wake of Brexit and the Trump tariff war, central banks have had to reconsider the role of monetary policy in managing the economic effects of tariff shocks, which may induce a slowdown while raising inflation. This paper studies the optimal monetary policy responses using a New Keynesian model that includes elements from the trade literature, including global value chains in production, firm dynamics, and comparative advantage between two traded sectors. We find that, in response to a symmetric tariff war, the optimal policy response is generally expansionary: central banks stabilize the output gap at the expense of further aggravating short-run inflation---contrary to the prescription of the standard Taylor rule. In response to a tariff imposed unilaterally by a trading partner, it is optimal to engineer currency depreciation up to offsetting the effects of tariffs on relative prices, without completely redressing the effects of the tariff on the broader set of macroeconomic aggregates.

description: Relic neutrinos with mass 0.07 (+0.02/-0.04) eV, in the range consistent with Super-Kamiokande data, can explain the cosmic rays with energies in excess of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff. The spectrum of ultra-high energy cosmic rays produced in this fashion has some distinctive features that may help identify their origin. Our mechanism does not require but is consistent with a neutrino density high enough to be a new kind of hot dark matter.

description: The intraband electromagnetic transitions in the framework of collective Hamiltonian for chiral and wobbling modes are calculated. By going beyond the mean field approximation on the orientations of rotational axis, the collective Hamiltonian provides the descriptions on both yrast band and collective excitation bands. For a system with one $h_{11/2}$ proton particle and one $h_{11/2}$ neutron hole coupled to a triaxial rotor ($γ=-30^\circ$), the intraband electromagnetic transitions given by the one-dimensional and two-dimensional collective Hamiltonian are compared to the results by the tilted axis cranking approach and particle rotor model. Compared with the tilted axis cranking approach, the electromagnetic transitions given by the collective Hamiltonian have a better agreement with those by the particle rotor model, due to the consideration of the quantum fluctuations.

X (formerly Twitter) Perspectives on Gender and Cultural Representation in Mulan (2020) and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Creators: Freeman-Lau, Danika

Inequalities in gender and cultural representation are still prevalent throughout much of society and although these issues are becoming more widely recognized, progress in these areas has been largely stagnant. In recent years, Hollywood has been faced with strong public backlash and increased pressure to show a commitment to improving diversity within gender and cultural representation. However, it is not enough to just improve the quantity of representation, the quality has to be improved as well. This study aims to understand how improve the quality of gender and cultural representation by examining public responses on the platform X to two recent movies: Mulan (2020) and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021). Examining the data by applying Critical Discourse Analysis through an intersectional framework revealed important insight into how representation can be improved going forward. The results showed that on-screen representation lacks authenticity if it is not supported with appropriate representation behind the screen as well. Further analysis showed that in order to achieve appropriate representation, the intersectionality of gender and culture must be considered because it is not enough to prioritize one form of representation over the other. These findings demonstrate the complexities of representation and help to address the gap in research on gender and cultural representation in an Asian context.
A self-consistent theory of phase transitions in noncollinear magnets

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: I study phase transitions occuring in noncollinear magnets by means of a self-consistent screening approximation. The Ginzburg-Landau theory involves two N-component vector fields with two independent quartic couplings allowing a symmetry-breaking scheme which is SO(N)times SO(2) broken down to SO(N-2)times SO(2)_diag. I find that there is a second-order phase transition in the physical cases N=2,3, D=3 and that there is no fluctuation-induced first-order transition. This is very similar to the case of the normal-to-superconducting phase transition as recently found by Radzihovsky. The exponents are eta(N=3,D=3)= 0.11, eta(N=2,D=3) =0.15 and go smoothly to the large-N limit.

description: This paper characterizes the optimal control of a recurrent infectious disease through the use of treatment and preventive non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing and curfews. We find that under centralized decision making, treatment induces positive destabilizing feedback effects, while prevention induces negative stabilizing feedback effects. While optimal treatment pushes prevalence towards the extremes, optimal prevention pushes it towards interior solutions. As a result, the dynamic system may admit multiple steady states and the optimal policy may be history dependent. We find that steady state prevalence levels in decentralized equilibrium must be equal to or higher than the socially optimal levels. The differences between the equilibrium outcome and the social optimum derive from the existence of a pure externality effect and a separate smallness effect due to individuals being small. Last, we derive two separate corrective subsidy schemes that decentralize the socially optimal outcome, namely subsidies to prevention and treatment and a tax on the infected.

description: We present a quenched lattice calculation of heavy-light meson decay constants, using non-relativistic (NRQCD) heavy quarks in the mass region of the $b$ quark and heavier, and clover-improved light quarks. The NRQCD Hamiltonian and the heavy-light current include the corrections at first order in the expansion in the inverse heavy quark mass. We study the dependence of the decay constants on the heavy meson mass $M$, for light quarks with the tree level ($c_{SW}$ = 1), as well as the tadpole improved clover coefficient. We compare decay constants from NRQCD with results from clover ($c_{SW}=1$) heavy quarks. Having calculated the current renormalisation constant $Z_A$ in one-loop perturbation theory, we demonstrate how the heavy mass dependence of the pseudoscalar decay constants changes after renormalisation. For the first time, we quote a result for $f_B$ from NRQCD including the full one-loop matching factors at $O(α/M)$.

Deciphering the oscillation spectrum of $γ$ Doradus and SPB stars

description: The space-based Kepler mission provided four years of highly precise and almost uninterrupted photometry for hundreds of $γ$ Doradus stars and tens of SPB stars, finally allowing us to apply asteroseismology to these gravity mode pulsators. Without rotation, gravity modes are equally spaced in period. This simple structure does not hold in rotating stars for which rotation needs to be taken into account to accurately interpret the oscillation spectrum. We aim to develop a stellar-model-independent method to analyse and interpret the oscillation spectrum of $γ$ Dor and SPB stars. Within the traditional approximation of rotation, we highlight the possibility of recovering the equidistance of period spacings by stretching the pulsation periods. The stretching function depends on the degree and azimuthal order of gravity modes and the rotation rate of the star. In this new stretched space, the pulsation modes are regularly spaced by the stellar buoyancy radius. On the basis of this property, we implemented a method to search for these new regularities and simultaneously infer the rotation frequency and buoyancy radius. Tests on synthetic spectra computed with a non-perturbative approach show that we can retrieve these two parameters with reasonable accuracy along with the mode identification. In uniformly rotating models of a typical $γ$ Dor star, and for the most observed prograde dipole modes, we show that the accuracy on the derived parameters is better than 5% on both the internal rotation rate and the buoyancy radius. Finally, we apply the method to two stars of the Kepler field, a $γ$ Dor and an SPB, and compare our results with those of other existing methods. We provide a stellar-model-independent method to obtain the near-core rotation rate, the buoyancy radius and mode identification from g-mode spectra of $γ$ Dor and SPB stars.
