Expendable Bodies: Examining the Connection Between Ecoracism and Embodied Toxicity to Advance Eco-Social Justice Activism
Creators: name: Shinall, Vivian
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2021

description: Although current literature in the environmental humanities establishes the existence of ecoracism and embodied toxicity, the discourse does not explicitly identify the connection between these two phenomena. This research paper argues that ecoracism, as seen in instances such as the violation of indigenous rights experienced by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe or the infringement of corporations on the sacred land of Maunakea, creates expendable bodies that are either invisible or negligible to the public. In this system, the suffering of the oppressed groups similarly goes unseen. This process can be specifically traced to instances of embodied toxicity, in which the contamination of communal land, water, or air with toxic waste is ignored by lawmakers. This research proposes a new framework for discussing toxic pollution by linking the creation of expendable bodies under ecoracism to the normalization of embodied toxicity. Further, upon examining contributions from prominent scholars of eco-social justice activism, this work illustrates the ways in which this new lens can be applied in order to advocate for those who suffer from embodied toxicity.

description: Using an artificial neutral network we explore the parameter space of supergravity grand unified models consistent with the combined Fermilab E989 and Brookhaven E821 data on $(g-2)_μ$. The analysis indicates that the region favored by the data is the one generated by gluino-driven radiative breaking of the electroweak symmetry. This region naturally leads to a split sparticle spectrum with light sleptons and weakinos but heavy squarks, with the stau and the chargino as the lightest charged particles. We show that if the entire deviation from the standard model $(g-2)_μ$ arises from supersymmetry, then supersymmetry is discoverable at HL-LHC and HE-LHC via production and decay of sleptons within the optimal integrated luminosity of HL-LHC and with a smaller integrated luminosity at HE-LHC.

description: Nulling interferometry is a technique providing high angular resolution which is the core of the space missions Darwin and the Terrestrail Planet Finder. The first objective is to reach a deep degree of starlight cancelation in the range 6 -- 20 microns, in order to observe and to characterize the signal from an Earth-like planet. Among the numerous technological challenges involved in these missions, the question of the beam combination and wavefront filtering has an important place. A single-mode integrated optics (IO) beam combiner could support both the functions of filtering and the interferometric combination, simplifying the instrumental design. Such a perspective has been explored in this work within the project Integrated Optics for Darwin (IODA), which aims at developing a first IO combiner in the mid-infrared. The solutions reviewed here to manufacture the combiner are based on infrared dielectric materials on one side, and on metallic conductive waveguides on the other side. With this work, additional inputs are offered to pursue the investigation on mid-infrared photonics devices.

description: We have applied nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study the distinctive network of nodal lines in the Dirac semimetal ZrSiTe. The low-$T$ behavior is dominated by a symmetry-protected nodal line, with NMR providing a sensitive probe of the diamagnetic response of the associated carriers. A sharp low-$T$ minimum in NMR shift and $(T_1T)^{-1}$ provides a quantitative measure of the dispersionless, quasi-2D behavior of this nodal line. We also identify a van Hove singularity closely connected to this nodal line, and an associated $T$-induced Lifshitz transition. A disconnect in the NMR shift and line width at this temperature indicates the change in electronic behavior associated with this topological change. These features have an orientation-dependent behavior indicating a field-dependent scaling of the associated band energies.

VP2-05: Effect of Vacancies on the Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Heusler Compound Mn2CoAl
Creators: Zipporah Wanjiku Muthui
Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2023

Fundamental Properties and Cooperative Phenomena (Virtual)
Investigation of the effect of vacancies occurring within the crystal structure of Heusler compound Mn2CoAl, reveal the emergence of half-metallicity or a metallic electronic structure, depending on the site where the vacancy occurs. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) method, as implemented in the Vienna Ab Initio Simulation package (VASP) has been used. The site specific vacancies reveal that for a Mn vacancy occurring at the tetrahedral site and for a Co vacancy, an increased intersection of states with the Fermi level in one spin channel occurs, with the emergence of a half metallic gap in the minority and majority spin channels respectively. The resultant spin polarizations are 68% and 37% respectively, with magnetic moments of 1.989 and 2.028 μB/formula unit for the systems with Mn and Co vacancies respectively. These values are close to the 2 μB/formula unit predicted by the Slater Pauling rule for this system. An octahedral Mn void as well as simultaneous Mn and Co vacancies result in a metallic electronic structure. In both of these cases, there is a marked deviation from the Slater Pauling rule, with magnetic moments of 1.356 and 1.168 μB/formula unit respectively. The Mn magnetic moments couple ferrimagnetically and the magnetic order is preserved in all cases, except in the case of the simultaneous Co and Mn vacancies.References: [1] Özdoğan, K., Sasioğlu, E., Galanakis, I.

description: We consider the development of Cooper pairs in a self-consistent Hartree Fock mean field for the even Sm isotopes. Results are presented at the level of a BCS treatment, a number-projected BCS treatment and an exact treatment using the Richardson ansatz. While projected BCS captures much of the pairing correlation energy that is absent from BCS, it still misses a sizable correlation energy, typically of order $1 MeV$. Furthermore, because it does not average over the properties of the fermion pairs, the exact Richardson solution permits a more meaningful definition of the Cooper wave function and of the fraction of pairs that are collective.

description: Observational evidence for the radial alignment of satellites with their dark matter host has been accumulating steadily in the past few years. The effect is seen over a wide range of scales, from massive clusters of galaxies down to galaxy-sized systems, yet the underlying physical mechanism has still not been established. To this end, we have carried out a detailed analysis of the shapes and orientations of dark matter substructures in high-resolution N-body cosmological simulations. We find a strong tendency for radial alignment of the substructure with its host halo: the distribution of halo major axes is very anisotropic, with the majority pointing towards the center of mass of the host. The alignment peaks once the sub-halo has passed the virial radius of the host for the first time, but is not subsequently diluted, even after the halos have gone through as many as four pericentric passages. This evidence points to the existence of a very rapid dynamical mechanism acting on these systems and we argue that tidal torquing throughout their orbits is the most likely candidate.

Opening up the Library: Transforming our Structures, Policies and Practices
Creators: name: Ball, Joanna

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Libraries have played an important role in facilitating the transition to open scholarship within their institutions: providing advocacy, advice and support for Funder Open Access policies, and developing research data management and open scholarship services.

However, much of this support has focussed on subscription publishing and the transition to OA journals. indeed, in a recent report to the Knowledge Exchange a survey respondent evidenced a concern that business models for OA monographs in particular were “predicated on those developed for journal articles“. Furthermore, the tipping point for journals regarding a transition to electronic has long since passed. Monographs are still predicated by print, the tipping point to ‘e’ is a long way off and may never happen. Therefore, open e-books are less well developed, and this is never truer than in the library supply chain. Open is not embedded into the culture, workflows and practices that are used as part of the book acquisition process.

As part of a landscape study on New University Presses and Scholar led publishing, Rupert Gatti (Open Book Publishers) explains that this is an issue for many open access book publishers and that it would be helpful to have a service that “looks at how to bring academic content into the catalogues and the digital learning environments of the universities and to allow universities to also relate back to the publisher, so that there is a flow of information going back both ways”.

One of the recommendations at a follow up workshop looking at OA monographs discovery in the library supply chain, was to look at the culture of libraries towards the acquisition of open content. The workshop suggested that less attention is paid to open book content as it is ‘free’ and so perceived as less valuable.

If we were to redesign our libraries around the premise of open rather than closed content, what would that look like? And how do we drive our own ‘transition’ of culture, processes and services so that they’re built around Open?

This paper will build on discussions held in 2019 within the UK research library community at both strategic (RLUK) and practitioner (NAG) levels, and enable delegates to take away strategic and practical ideas to effect change within their own libraries. For example, to:

	Redesign the Library supply chain to support open content
	Rethink how to demonstrate value for money for resources invested in open
	Support academic staff to select Open Educational Resources and Open Textbooks for teaching
	Include open content in Library collection management and development policies so open content is selected and acquired in the same way as purchased or subscribed, or event that the discovery of open material is prioritised over purchased.

Finally, the paper will identify what kind of strategic approach is required as a sector at a European level, and what role there might be for sector organisations such as LIBER to support this.

The effect of base grading on the gain and high frequency performance of AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors
Creators: name: Ho, Simon Chak Man
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A comprehensive, one-dimensional, analytical model of the graded-base AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor is presented, and used to examine the influence of base grading on the current gain and the high frequency performance of a device with a conventional pyramidal structure. Grading is achieved by varying the Al mole fraction x linearly across the base to a value of zero at the base-collector boundary. Recombination in the space-charge and neutral regions of the device is modeled by considering Shockley-Read-Hall, Auger and radiative processes. Owing to the different dependencies on base grading of the currents associated with these recombination mechanisms, the base current is minimized, and hence the gain reaches a maximum value, at a moderate level of base grading (x = 0.1 at the base-emitter boundary). The maximum improvement in gain, with respect to the ungraded base case, is about four-fold. It is shown that the reduction in base transit time due to increased base grading leads to a 60 % improvement in f[sub τ], in the most pronounced case of base grading studied (x = 0.3 at the base-emitter boundary). The implications this has for improving f[sub max] via increases in base width and base doping density are also examined. Finally, comparisons between predictions of the model and experimental data from fabricated devices reported in the literature are made.

description: The present-day envelope of gaseous planets is a relic of how these giant planets originated and evolved. Measuring their elemental composition therefore presents a powerful opportunity to answer long-standing questions regarding planet formation. Obtaining precise observational constraints on the elemental inventory of giant exoplanets has, however, remained challenging due to the limited simultaneous wavelength coverage of current space-based instruments. Here, we present thermal emission observations of the non-transiting hot Jupiter $τ$ Boo b using the new wide wavelength coverage (0.95$-$2.50$\,μ$m) and high spectral resolution ($R=70\,000$) SPIRou spectrograph. By combining a total of 20 hours of SPIRou data obtained over five nights in a full atmospheric retrieval framework designed for high-resolution data, we constrain the abundances of all the major oxygen- and carbon-bearing molecules and recover a non-inverted temperature structure using a new free-shape, nonparametric TP profile retrieval approach. We find a volume mixing ratio of log(CO)$\,\,=-2.46_{-0.29}^{+0.25}$ and a highly depleted water abundance of less than $0.0072$ times the value expected for a solar composition envelope. Combined with upper limits on the abundances of CH$_4$, CO$_2$, HCN, TiO, and C$_2$H$_2$, this results in a gas-phase C/H ratio of 5.85$_{-2.82}^{+4.44}\times\,$solar, consistent with the value of Jupiter, and an envelope C/O ratio robustly greater than 0.60, even when taking into account the oxygen that may be sequestered out of the gas-phase. Combined, the inferred super-solar C/H, O/H, and C/O ratios on $τ$ Boo b support a formation scenario beyond the water snowline in a disk enriched in CO due to pebble drift.

description: Having unique data we investigate the link between job separations (displacement and quits) and informal employment, which we define in several ways posing the general question whether the burden of informality falls disproportionately on job separators in the Russian labor market. After we have established positive causal effects of displacement and quits on informal employment we analyze whether displaced workers experience more involuntary informal employment than their non-displaced counterparts. Our main results confirm our contention that displacement entraps some of the workers in involuntary informal employment. 
Those who quit, in turn, experience voluntary informality for the most part, but there seems a minority of quitting workers who end up in involuntary informal jobs. This scenario does not fall on all the workers who separate but predominantly on workers with low human capital. We also pursue the issue of informality persistence and find that informal employment is indeed persistent as some workers churn from one informal job to the next. Our study contributes to the debate in the informality literature regarding segmented versus integrated labor markets. 
It also contributes to the literature on displacement by establishing informal employment as an important cost of displacement. 
We also look at the share of undeclared wages in formal jobs and find that these shares are larger for separators than for incumbents, with displaced workers bearing the brunt of this manifestation of informality.

description: The aim of the research activity focused on the investigation of the correlation between the degree of purity in terms of chemical dopants in organic small molecule semiconductors and their electrical and optoelectronic performances once introduced as active material in devices.
The first step of the work was addressed to the study of the electrical performances variation of two commercial organic semiconductors after being processed by means of thermal sublimation process.
In particular, the p-type 2,2′′′-Dihexyl-2,2′:5′,2′′:5′′,2′′′-quaterthiophene (DH4T) semiconductor and the n-type 2,2′′′- Perfluoro-Dihexyl-2,2′:5′,2′′:5′′,2′′′-quaterthiophene (DFH4T) semiconductor underwent several sublimation cycles, with consequent improvement of the electrical performances in terms of charge mobility and threshold voltage, highlighting the benefits brought by this treatment to the electric properties of the discussed semiconductors in OFET devices by the removal of residual impurities.
The second step consisted in the provision of a metal-free synthesis of DH4T, which was successfully prepared without organometallic reagents or catalysts in collaboration with Dr. Manuela Melucci from ISOF-CNR Institute in Bologna.
Indeed the experimental work demonstrated that those compounds are responsible for the electrical degradation by intentionally doping the semiconductor obtained by metal-free method by Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (Pd(PPh3)4) and Tributyltin chloride (Bu3SnCl), as well as with an organic impurity, like 5-hexyl-2,2':5',2''-terthiophene (HexT3) at, in different concentrations (1, 5 and 10% w/w).
After completing the entire evaluation process loop, from fabricating OFET devices by vacuum sublimation with implemented intentionally-doped batches to the final electrical characterization in inherent-atmosphere conditions, commercial DH4T, metal-free DH4T and the intentionally-doped DH4T were systematically compared.
Indeed, the fabrication of OFET based on doped DH4T clearly pointed out that the vacuum sublimation is still an inherent and efficient purification method for crude semiconductors, but also a reliable way to fabricate high performing devices.
Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in signalling and oxidative stress

description: Results reported in this Thesis contribute to the comprehension of the complicated world of “redox biology”.
ROS regulate signalling pathways both in physiological responses and in pathogenesis and progression of diseases. In cancer cells, the increase in ROS generation from metabolic abnormalities and oncogenic signalling may trigger a redox adaptation response, leading to an up-regulation of antioxidant capacity in order to maintain the ROS level below the toxic threshold. Thus, cancer cells would be more dependent on the antioxidant system and more vulnerable to further oxidative stress induced by exogenous ROS-generating agents or compounds that inhibit the antioxidant system. Results here reported indicate that the development of new drugs targeting specific Nox isoforms, responsible for intracellular ROS generation, or AQP isoforms, involved in the transport of extracellular H2O2 toward intracellular targets, might be an interesting novel anti-leukaemia strategy. 
Furthermore, also the use of CSD peptide, which simulate the VEGFR-2 segregation into caveolae in the inactive form, might be a strategy to stop the cellular response to VEGF signalling. 
As above stated, in the understanding of the redox biology, it is also important to identify and distinguish the molecular effectors that maintain normal biological and physiological responses, such as agents that stimulate our adaptation systems and elevate our endogenous antioxidant defences or other protective systems. Data here reported indicate that the nutraceutical compound sulforaphane and the Klotho protein are able to stimulate the HO-1 and Prx-1 expression, as well as the GSH levels, confirming their antioxidant and protective role. 
Finally, results here reported demonstrated that Stevia extracts are involved in insulin regulated glucose metabolism, suggesting that the use of these compounds goes beyond their sweetening power and may also offer therapeutic benefits hence improving the quality of life.

description: We develop a hybrid model of galactic chemical evolution that combines a multi-ring computation of chemical enrichment with a prescription for stellar migration and the vertical distribution of stellar populations informed by a cosmological hydrodynamic disc galaxy simulation. Our fiducial model adopts empirically motivated forms of the star formation law and star formation history, with a gradient in outflow mass loading tuned to reproduce the observed metallicity gradient. With this approach, the model reproduces many of the striking qualitative features of the Milky Way disc's abundance structure: (i) the dependence of the [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] distribution on radius $R_\text{gal}$ and midplane distance $|z|$; (ii) the changing shapes of the [O/H] and [Fe/H] distributions with $R_\text{gal}$ and $|z|$; (iii) a broad distribution of [O/Fe] at sub-solar metallicity and changes in the [O/Fe] distribution with $R_\text{gal}$, $|z|$, and [Fe/H]; (iv) a tight correlation between [O/Fe] and stellar age for [O/Fe] $>$ 0.1; (v) a population of young and intermediate-age $α$-enhanced stars caused by migration-induced variability in the Type Ia supernova rate; (vi) non-monotonic age-[O/H] and age-[Fe/H] relations, with large scatter and a median age of $\sim$4 Gyr near solar metallicity. Observationally motivated models with an enhanced star formation rate $\sim$2 Gyr ago improve agreement with the observed age-[Fe/H] and age-[O/H] relations, but worsen agreement with the observed age-[O/Fe] relation. None of our models predict an [O/Fe] distribution with the distinct bimodality seen in the observations, suggesting that more dramatic evolutionary pathways are required. All code and tables used for our models are publicly available through the Versatile Integrator for Chemical Evolution (VICE; https://pypi.org/project/vice).

The rubidium is precooled in a magneto-optical trap, transferred into a magnetic trap and then translated into the electric trap. The electric trap consists of six rod-shaped electrodes in cubic arrangement, giving ample optical access. Up to 10^5 atoms have been trapped with an initial temperature of around 20 microkelvin in the three-phase electric trap. The observations are in good agreement with detailed numerical simulations.

description: In this thesis, new advances in the development of spectroscopic based methods for the characterization of heritage materials have been achieved. 
As concern FTIR spectroscopy new approaches aimed at exploiting near and far IR region for the characterization of inorganic or organic materials have been tested. Paint cross-section have been analysed by FTIR spectroscopy in the NIR range and an “ad hoc” chemometric approach has been developed for the elaboration of hyperspectral maps. Moreover, a new method for the characterization of calcite based on the use of grinding curves has been set up both in MIR and in FAR region. Indeed, calcite is a material widely applied in cultural heritage, and this spectroscopic approach is an efficient and rapid tool to distinguish between different calcite samples.
Different enhanced vibrational techniques for the characterisation of dyed fibres have been tested. First a SEIRA (Surface Enhanced Infra-Red Absorption) protocol has been optimised allowing the analysis of colorant micro-extracts thanks to the enhancement produced by the addition of gold nanoparticles. These preliminary studies permitted to identify a new enhanced FTIR method, named ATR/RAIRS, which allowed to reach lower detection limits. Regarding Raman microscopy, the research followed two lines, which have in common the aim of avoiding the use of colloidal solutions. AgI based supports obtained after deposition on a gold-coated glass slides have been developed and tested spotting colorant solutions. A SERS spectrum can be obtained thanks to the photoreduction, which the laser may induce on the silver salt. Moreover, these supports can be used for the TLC separation of a mixture of colorants and the analyses by means of both Raman/SERS and ATR-RAIRS can be successfully reached. Finally, a photoreduction method for the “on fiber” analysis of colorant without the need of any extraction have been optimised.

description: We use a sample of $78,340$ star-forming galaxies at $z\simeq 0.04-0.1$ from the SDSS DR8 survey to calculate the average nebular dust attenuation curve and its variation with the physical properties of galaxies. Using the first four low-order Balmer emission lines (H$α$, H$β$, H$γ$, H$δ$) detected in the composite spectrum of all galaxies in the sample, we derive a nebular attenuation curve in the range of $0.41\,μ$m to $0.66\,μ$m that has a similar shape and normalization to that of the Galactic extinction curve (Milky Way curve), the SMC curve and the nebular attenuation curve derived recently for typical star-forming galaxies at $z\sim2$. We divide the galaxies into bins of stellar mass, gas-phase metallicity, and specific star-formation rate, and derive the nebular attenuation curve in each of these bins. This analysis indicates that there is very little variation in the shape of the nebular dust attenuation curve with the properties used to bin the galaxies, and suggests a near universal shape of the nebular dust attenuation curve at least among the galaxies and the range of properties considered in our sample.

description: A well-known technique—Deep level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS)—was used for investigating deep levels in Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor material. Eight deep levels, among them the most important deep level EL2, were found in Liquid-Encapsulated Czochralski (LEC) grown semi-insulating GaAs substrates. Two of these deep levels, one electron deep level and one hole deep level, were observed for the first time in DLTS studies. Both have large thermal activation energy. A study in understanding the formation of deep levels in the GaAs substrate was actively undertaken. The cause of four deep levels present in the LEC-grown GaAs substrate were identified. The chief effects on electronic devices and integrated circuits due to the presence of these deep levels in the GaAs substrate were partially characterized. Other contributions include: firstly, a computer-assisted method was used to profile the spatial distribution of deep traps. Deep traps act as free carrier traps when deep levels are present in semiconductor bulk material. Secondly, the author, through experiments, made clear that the increasing capacitance of a Schottky diode increasing with temperature was due to the Schottky diode's barrier height decreasing with rising temperature. Thirdly, the author, by experimental results, supported the point that shallow donor with very high concentration in the bulk material is the major cause of annihilation of EL2 deep traps.
No deal! Sweden Cancelled Agreement with Elsevier to Stand Up for Open Science

description: In this talk we highlight some results after the Swedish Bibsam consortium decided to cancel the agreement with scientific publisher Elsevier after 20 years as they couldn’t present a model that met the demands of the consortium.

The requirements were immediate open access to all articles published in Elsevier journals by researchers affiliated to participating organisations as well as reading access to all articles in Elsevier’s journals. Bibsam also demanded a sustainable price model that enables a transition to open access publishing. We investigate the effects of this cancellation on Sweden’s largest technical university, the KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

Method

The study has two themes. First, we analyse the economics in earlier Bibsam-Elsevier agreements and what effects they have had for the budget and purchasing decisions made by the KTH Library. Second, we evaluate the response and the adapted behaviour of KTH researchers in the attempt to see if the cancellation has had severe negative effects for them.

Results

Our data collection gives an overview over the effects of the cancelled agreement at KTH. In particular, we observe how some of the money saved on the cancellation is used for individual article purchases and alternative services, thus lowering the effect of the cut-off. During our talk, we will also review some marketing strategies employed at KTH and Swedish libraries for making this cancellation process as smooth as possible.

Limitations

The short time period that has elapsed after the cancellation makes it difficult to see any long-time trends. The limited time frame also affects the validity of the researchers’ responses. Moreover, it is difficult to tell how the results from a case study from one university can be generalised to a global setting.

Undetected Binary Stars Cause an Observed Mass Dependent Age Gradient in Upper Scorpius

description: Young stellar associations represent a key site for the study of star formation, but to accurately compare observations to models of stellar evolution, the age of an association must be determined. The Upper Scorpius region is the youngest section of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association, which is the largest collection of nearby, young, low-mass stars. The true age of Upper Scorpius is not clear, and an observed mass-dependent age gradient in Upper Scorpius, as well as in other star-forming regions, complicates age measurements. The age gradient may indicate a genuine astrophysical feature or may be an artifact of unrecognized systematic effects in stellar age measurements. We have conducted a synthetic red-optical low-resolution spectroscopic survey of a simulated analog to the Upper Scorpius star-forming region to investigate the effects of unresolved binary stars (which have mass-dependent demographics) on age measurements of a stellar population. We find that the observed mass-dependent age gradient in Upper Scorpius can be explained by a population of undetected binary stars. For a simulated population with an age of 10 (RMS = 2) Myr, we measure an age of 10.5 (RMS = 3.5) Myr for F stars, and 7.5 (RMS = 5.8) Myr for M stars. This discrepancy is caused by the mass-dependent mass ratio distribution and the variable steepness of the mass-luminosity relation. Our results support the previously suggested 10 Myr age for Upper Scorpius, with a small intrinsic age spread.

description: Using a model of spinless fermions in a lattice with nearest neighbor and next-nearest neighbor interaction we show that the entropy of the reduced two site density matrix (the bond entropy) can be used as an extremely accurate and easy to calculate numerical indicator for the critical parameters of the quantum phase transition when the basic ordering pattern has a two-site periodicity. The actual behavior of the bond entropy depends on the particular characteristics of the transition under study. For the Kosterlitz-Thouless type phase transition from a Luttinger liquid phase to a charge density wave state the bond entropy has a local maximum while in the transition from the Luttinger liquid to the phase separated state the derivative of the bond entropy has a divergence due to the cancelation of the third eigenvalue of the two-site reduced density matrix.

description: The excitation of the filamentary gas structures surrounding giant elliptical galaxies at the center of cool-core clusters, a.k.a BCGs (brightest cluster galaxies), is key to our understanding of active galactic nucleus feedback, and of the impact of environmental and local effects on star formation. We investigate the contribution of the thermal radiation from the cooling flow surrounding BCGs to the excitation of the filaments. We explore the effects of small levels of extra-heating (turbulence), and of metallicity, on the optical and infrared lines. Using the Cloudy code, we model the photoionization and photodissociation of a slab of gas of optical depth AV{\leq}30mag at constant pressure, in order to calculate self-consistently all of the gas phases, from ionized gas to molecular gas. The ionizing source is the EUV and soft X-ray radiation emitted by the cooling gas. We test these models comparing their predictions to the rich multi-wavelength observations, from optical to submillimeter. These models reproduce most of the multi-wavelength spectra observed in the nebulae surrounding the BCGs, not only the LINER-like optical diagnostics: [O iii]λ 5007 Å/H\b{eta}, [N ii]λ 6583 Å/Hα and ([S ii]λ 6716 Å+[S ii]λ 6731 Å)/Hα but also the infrared emission lines from the atomic gas. The modeled ro-vib H2 lines also match observations, which indicates that near and mid-IR H2 lines are mostly excited by collisions between H2 molecules and secondary electrons produced naturally inside the cloud by the interaction between the X-rays and the cold gas in the filament. However, there is still some tension between ionized and molecular line tracers (i.e. CO), which requires to optimize the cloud structure and the density of the molecular zone.

Heavy Bino and Slepton for Muon g-2 Anomaly

description: In light of very recent E989 experimental result, we investigate the possibility that heavy sparticles explain the muon g-2 anomaly. We focus on the bino-smuon loop in an effective SUSY scenario, where a light gravitino plays the role of dark matter and other sparticles are heavy. Due to the enhancement of left-right mixing of smuons by heavy higgsinos, the contribution of bino-smuon loop can sizably increase the prediction of muon g-2 to the experimental value. Under collider and vacuum stability constraints, we find that TeV scale bino and smuon can still account for the new muon g-2 anomaly. The implications for LHC phenomenology are also discussed.

Reproduction of vortex lattices in the simulations of rotating liquid helium-4 by numerically solving the two-fluid model using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics incorporating vortex dynamics

description: Our recent study has shown that the representative phenomena of liquid helium-4 rotating in a cylinder could be simulated by solving the two-fluid model using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) after reformulating the viscosity to conserve the rotational angular momentum. Specifically, the emergence of multiple parallel vortices and their rigid-body rotations were observed in our previous SPH simulations. The reported scheme is based on a classical approximation that assumes the fluid forces of both components and their interactions, with the expectation of functioning as a coarse-grained model of existing approximations that couple a microscopic model and the Navier-Stokes equation. Based on previous studies, this paper proposes an improved SPH scheme that explicitly incorporates vortex dynamics into SPH to reproduce vortex lattices, which was not possible in previous studies. Consequently, our improved scheme was observed to reproduce vortex lattices by introducing the Magnus force and interaction forces among vortices into the reformulated two-fluid model. The spinnings of the vortices and rigid-body rotations were also observed. The number of vortices showed a certain agreement with Feynman's rule after the model parameter was optimized. Notably, from a scientific point of view, such vortex lattices are reproduced by the classical-mechanical approximation. We hope that our model will help physicists studying low-temperature physics find a new way of approaching this bizarre phenomenon that has attracted attention for more than 80 years.
