description: We consider dark matter annihilation into a general set of final states of Standard Model particles, including two-body and four-body final states that result from the decay of intermediate states. For dark matter masses ~10-10^5 GeV, we use updated data from Planck and from high gamma-ray experiments such as Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, and VERITAS to constrain the annihilation cross section for each final state. The Planck constraints are the most stringent over the entire mass range for annihilation into light leptons, and the Fermi-LAT constraints are the most stringent for four-body final states up to masses ~10^4 GeV. We consider these constraints in light of the recent AMS antiproton results, and show that for light mediators it is possible to explain the AMS data with dark matter, and remain consistent with Fermi-LAT Inner Galaxy measurements, for m_χ~ 60-100 GeV mass dark matter and mediator masses m_ϕ/ m_χ~< 1.

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the effect of crystal superstructures, produced by orientational ordering of the ReO4 and ClO4 anions in the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors (TMTSF)2ReO4 and (TMTSF)2ClO4, on the angular magnetoresistance oscillations (AMRO) observed in these materials. Folding of the Brillouin zone due to anion ordering generates effective tunneling amplitudes between distant chains. These amplitudes cause multiple peaks in interlayer conductivity for the magnetic field orientations along the rational crystallographic directions (the Lebed magic angles). Different wave vectors of the anion ordering in (TMTSF)2ReO4 and (TMTSF)2ClO4 result in the odd and even Lebed angles, as observed experimentally. When a strong magnetic field is applied parallel to the layers and perpendicular to the chains and exceeds a certain threshold, the interlayer tunneling between different branches of the folded electron spectrum becomes possible, and interlayer conductivity should increase sharply. This effect can be utilized to probe the anion ordering gaps in (TMTSF)2ClO4 and (TMTSF)2ReO4. An application of this effect to kappa-(ET)2Cu(NCS)2 is also briefly discussed.

How AI is transforming science communication tools and tactics
Creators: name: Makar, Jana
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Situation
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications roll out across social, professional, and academic realms, there is a need to raise awareness and understanding of how AI tools are impacting the field of science communications. Mike S. Schäfer notes in his paper, 'The Notorious GPT: science communication in the age of artificial intelligence': "although even the short-term ramifications of generative AI for science communication are still largely unclear… practitioners and scholars should take the technology seriously, assess it critically, embrace its opportunities, but also tackle its challenges."

Task
This session will raise awareness of how AI tools can be applied in science communications activities – from image generation to content creation to task automation – and share examples of how Australasian science communicators are using AI to support their communications strategies.

Action
We'll start the session with some context setting and explore common risks and considerations you should keep in mind before adopting tools like this in your comms practices. We'll then open the floor for group discussion and questions, such as:
•what excites (or concerns) you about these new tools and technologies? Key strengths and weaknesses?
•what AI tools are organisations currently exploring or how they are experimenting with AI applications in their comms activities?
oHow have you learnt to communicate with AI tools? What are some ways you've learnt to prompt effectively?

Result
Participants will leave this session with a better understanding of the ways AI can be applied in science communication practices. Examples and ideas will also be shared for how to integrate and experiment with AI tools in your communication approaches.

description: Whilst astronomy as a science is historically founded on observations at optical wavelengths, studying the Universe in other bands has yielded remarkable discoveries, from pulsars in the radio, signatures of the Big Bang at submm wavelengths, through to high energy emission from accreting, gravitationally-compact objects and the discovery of gamma-ray bursts. Unsurprisingly, the result of combining multiple wavebands leads to an enormous increase in diagnostic power, but powerful insights can be lost when the sources studied vary on timescales shorter than the temporal separation between observations in different bands. In July 2015, the workshop "Paving the way to simultaneous multi-wavelength astronomy" was held as a concerted effort to address this at the Lorentz Center, Leiden. It was attended by 50 astronomers from diverse fields as well as the directors and staff of observatories and spaced-based missions. This community white paper has been written with the goal of disseminating the findings of that workshop by providing a concise review of the field of multi-wavelength astronomy covering a wide range of important source classes, the problems associated with their study and the solutions we believe need to be implemented for the future of observational astronomy. We hope that this paper will both stimulate further discussion and raise overall awareness within the community of the issues faced in a developing, important field.

description: We study how the decoherence of macroscopic objects is induced intrisinically by relativistic effect. With the degree of freedom of center of mass (CM) characterizing the collective quantum state of a macroscopic object (MO), it is found that a MO consisting of N particles can decohere with time scale no more than sqrt(N). Here, the special relativity can induce the coupling of the collective motion mode and the relative motion modes in an order of 1/c2, which intrinsically results in the above minimum decoherence.

description: While the influence of impurities on the local density of states (LDOS) in a metal is notoriously non-local due to interference effects, low order moments of the LDOS in general can be shown to depend only on the local structure of the Hamiltonian. Specifically, we show that an analysis of the spatial variations of these moments permits one to ``work backwards'' from scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) data to infer the local structure of the underlying effective Hamiltonian. Applying this analysis to STM data from the high temperature superconductor, Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$, we find that the variations of the electro-chemical potential are remarkably small (i.e., the disorder is, in a sense, weak) but that there are large variations in the local magnitude of the d-wave gap parameter.

Inclusion

description: Situation
The Australasian Chapter of Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC+ AusNZ) hosts events and creates spaces where community members from all walks of life can feel welcome, connect with others, and contribute to discussions that support diversity & inclusion in our communities. As with any volunteer-run initiative, there are challenges to keeping the Chapter's activities sustainable while also keeping community membership engaged and on a path of growth. This Birds-of-a-Feather session will explore the balancing act that must be navigated behind the scenes of building, managing, and growing a community of interest.

Task
This session provides a forum for exchanging experiences around building and sustaining momentum or focus for a community of interest/practice. Through sharing of examples and follow-up discussion, we hope community organisers and individual community members will find shared commonalities, helpful advice, or new ideas for engaging their communities.

Action
This session features three phases:
Phase 1 is a brainstorming exercise to crowdsource 2-3 specific challenges or opportunities related to community management.
Phase 2 divides participants into breakout groups that delve deeper into their topics.
Phase 3, the final 30 minutes of the session, sees participants sharing highlights from their breakout discussions, and addressing any remaining general questions or discussion.

Result
Participants in this session will have a chance to learn from other community organisers and seek advice on how to support community engagement and growth in a sustainable way.

description: A fim de diminuir a lacuna entre os números de homens e mulheres na Física, essa pesquisa aborda os
 meios pelos quais se constrói o interesse de garotas em ciência e como as relações com a conjuntura
 socioeconômica influenciam sua escolha por carreiras científicas. O processo de coleta de dados
 ocorreu por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com vinte físicas brasileiras. As transcrições dessas
 entrevistas serviram como textos para a análise temática baseada numa revisão bibliográfica sobre
 gênero e ciência. A partir da análise dos relatos, descreve-se como as relações das entrevistadas com
 suas respectivas famílias, com os ambientes escolares frequentados e com a mídia contribuiu para a
 formação de uma identidade relacionada à ciência e para a decisão posterior de ingressar no curso
 superior de Física. Conclui-se que a identificação com disciplinas relacionadas a STEM, a participação
 direta ou indireta dos pais, a percepção de entrelaçamento entre teoria científica e realidade e o
 estabelecimento de relações professor(a)-aluna com características de mentoria foram os fatores mais
 relevantes no grupo analisado para a decisão de fazer Física.

description: Multiphoton pair production is investigated by focusing on the momentum structures of produced pairs in the polarization plane for the two circularly polarized fields. Upon the momentum spectra, different from the concentric rings with the familiar Ramsey interference fringes for the same handedness, however, the obvious vortex structures are found constituted by the Archimedean spirals for two opposite handedness fields. The underlying physical reasons are analyzed and discussed. It is also found that the vortex patterns are sensitive to the relative carrier envelope phase, the time delay, and the handedness of two fields, which can be used to detect the applied laser field characteristics as a probe way.

description: We present the first results from a major Hubble Space Telescope program designed to investigate the cosmological evolution of quasar host galaxies from z~2 to the present day. Here we describe J and H-band NICMOS imaging of two quasar samples at redshifts of 0.9 and 1.9 respectively. Each sample contains equal numbers of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars, selected to lie within the same narrow range of optical absolute magnitude (-24 > M_V > -25). Filter and target selection were designed to ensure that at each redshift the images sample the same part of the object's rest-frame spectrum, avoiding potential contamination by [OIII]lambda5007 and H-alpha emission lines. At z=1 the hosts of both radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars lie on the same Kormendy relation described by 3CR radio galaxies at comparable redshift. There is some evidence for a gap of ~1 mag between the host luminosities of RLQs and RQQs, a difference that cannot be due to emission-line contamination given the design of our study. However, within current uncertainties, simple passive stellar evolution is sufficient to link these galaxies with the elliptical hosts of low-redshift quasars of comparable nuclear output, implying that the hosts are virtually fully assembled by z=1. At z=2 the luminosity gap appears to have widened further to ~1.5 mag. Thus while the hosts of radio-loud quasars remain consistent with a formation epoch of z>3, allowing for passive evolution implies that the hosts of radio-quiet quasars are ~2-4 times less massive at z=2 than at low z.

Trusted Data Community: Learning to demonstrate trust
Creators: name: Ferrers, Richard
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The Trusted Data Community is a collaborative activity of Australian government, NCRIS and research organisations working together to support each other to gain an international certification (called CoreTrustSeal, CTS) about the trustworthiness of their respective data repositories. Since 2019, the community has been meeting regularly to discuss, share progress and gather for workshops and writing sessions, culminating in six CTS submissions showcased in the 2022 eResearch Conference BoF. This BoF will bring together lead community members and conference guests to:
(1) build a community of organisations interested in the CTS certification;
(2) strengthen the community relationships through in-person interaction;
(3) discuss different approaches and methods to assess requirements for CoreTrustSeal;
(4) share current work, successes and challenges facing us;
(5) allow the community to work together on challenging issues, and
(6) discuss new guidelines for certification processes.

This BoF will provide an opportunity to bring the community together to share learnings with other organisations who are interested in CTS and for them to hear about and meet the community, which will widen the potential benefits to, and interest in the existing community. As such, the BoF will feature a small number of guest speakers representing the broad perspective of community activity to date who will briefly (3-5 min) share with delegates what progress they have made to date with learning, undertaking trusted data certification, and responding to application review. In the second phase, community members will convene around emerging challenging topics, to share strategies and opportunities for progress.

description: This paper aims to present a stability control strategy for quadruped robot under lateral impact with the help of lateral trot. We firstly propose five necessary conditions for keeping balance. The classical four-neuron Central Pattern Generator (CPG) network with Hopf oscillators is then extended to eight-neuron network with four more trigger-enabled neurons, which controls the lateral trot. With proper adjustment of network's parameters, such network can coordinate the lateral and longitudinal trot gait. Based on Zero Movement Point (ZMP) theory, the robot is modeled as an inverted pendulum to plan the Center of Gravity (CoG) position and calculate the needed lateral step length. The simulation shows that the lateral acceleration of the quadruped robot after lateral impact regains to the normal range in a short time. Comparison shows that the maximal lateral impact that robot can resist increases about 125% from 0.72g to 1.55g.

A tool for the preliminary assessment and management of rockfall hazard in open pit mines: applications to real cases

subject: open pit
subject: Protective measure

description: Rockfall represents one of the most hazardous landslide phenomena, which can seriously affect people, infrastructures, and working areas located at the toe of slopes. In surface mining, the unpredictability of such type of events represents a significant hazard. Pre-mining and mining activities, or variations in pit design to optimize exploitation operations, can reveal unpredicted structural conditions and/or induce unexpected blocks detachments.Effective mitigation measures to improve safety on the pit floor include further optimization of the pit slope design and the potential installation of effective protective structures, capable of intercepting and/or withstanding the impacts of blocks. Previous work conducted by the Authors has investigated the influence of different pit geometries and slope materials in this context: trying to encompass the great majority of the cases an extensive parametric rockfall trajectory analysis has been conducted. The analyses have considered (i) a number of benches ranging from 1 to 8, (ii) three bench widths (3, 5 and 7 m), (iii) four bench heights (10 to 40 m) and (iv) four bench face slopes (from 50° to 80°). Twelve different materials, represented through the slope restitution coefficients, have been investigated. For a given pit geometry and material, the run-out distance, the velocity, and the passing height of blocks could be determined at each bench. Design charts and analytical formulations have been developed accordingly. Results represent a valuable tool for the preliminary assessment of rockfall hazard and the design of protective measures.The method is herein applied to real cases in the Australian mining context highlighting the degree of confidence of the method, comparing the results obtained by the tool with respect to detailed trajectory analysis tailored for the specific cases. Procedures and possible solutions to mitigate the risk are also discussed.

description: The paper explores the numerical stability and the computational efficiency of a direct method for unfolding the resolution function from the measurements of the neutron induced reactions. A detailed resolution function formalism is laid out, followed by an overview of challenges present in a practical implementation of the method. A special matrix storage scheme is developed in order to facilitate both the memory management of the resolution function matrix, and to increase the computational efficiency of the matrix multiplication and decomposition procedures. Due to its admirable computational properties, a Cholesky decomposition is at the heart of the unfolding procedure. With the smallest but necessary modification of the matrix to be decomposed, the method is successfully applied to system of $10^5\times10^5$. However, the amplification of the uncertainties during the direct inversion procedures limits the applicability of the method to high-precision measurements of neutron induced reactions.

description: The Great Pyramid or Khufu's Pyramid was built on the Giza Plateau (Egypt) during the IVth dynasty by the pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), who reigned from 2509 to 2483 BC. Despite being one of the oldest and largest monuments on Earth, there is no consensus about how it was built. To better understand its internal structure, we imaged the pyramid using muons, which are by-products of cosmic rays that are only partially absorbed by stone. The resulting cosmic-ray muon radiography allows us to visualize the known and potentially unknown voids in the pyramid in a non-invasive way. Here we report the discovery of a large void (with a cross section similar to the Grand Gallery and a length of 30 m minimum) above the Grand Gallery, which constitutes the first major inner structure found in the Great Pyramid since the 19th century. This void, named ScanPyramids Big Void, was first observed with nuclear emulsion films installed in the Queen's chamber (University of Nagoya), then confirmed with scintillator hodoscopes set up in the same chamber (KEK) and re-confirmed with gas detectors outside of the pyramid (CEA). This large void has therefore been detected with a high confidence by three different muon detection technologies and three independent analyses. These results constitute a breakthrough for the understanding of Khufu's Pyramid and its internal structure. While there is currently no information about the role of this void, these findings show how modern particle physics can shed new light on the world's archaeological heritage.

description: In the context of natural disasters, human responses inevitably intertwine with natural factors. The COVID-19 pandemic, as a significant stress factor, has brought to light profound variations among different countries in terms of their adaptive dynamics in addressing the spread of infection outbreaks across different regions. This emphasizes the crucial role of cultural characteristics in natural disaster analysis. The theoretical understanding of large-scale epidemics primarily relies on mean-field kinetic models. However, conventional SIR-like models failed to fully explain the observed phenomena at the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak. These phenomena included the unexpected cessation of exponential growth, the reaching of plateaus, and the occurrence of multi-wave dynamics. In situations where an outbreak of a highly virulent and unfamiliar infection arises, it becomes crucial to respond swiftly at a non-medical level to mitigate the negative socio-economic impact. Here we present a theoretical examination of the first wave of the epidemic based on a simple SIRSS model (SIR with Social Stress). We conduct an analysis of the socio-cultural features of naïve population behaviors across various countries worldwide. The unique characteristics of each country/territory are encapsulated in only a few constants within our model, derived from the fitted COVID-19 statistics. These constants also reflect the societal response dynamics to the external stress factor, underscoring the importance of studying the mutual behavior of humanity and natural factors during global social disasters. Based on these distinctive characteristics of specific regions, local authorities can optimize their strategies to effectively combat epidemics until vaccines are developed.

Integrating Melbourne figshare into a cohesive research outputs ecosystem
Creators: name: Smith, Ailie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Despite being in use for a number of years, the University of Melbourne's figshare instance has - until recently - had an unclear connection to and role in the broader University research outputs ecosystem. This resulted in a lack of clarity regarding what to use figshare for, potential overlap in the functions of various research systems, and the need to duplicate work to disseminate information across multiple systems. This presentation will look at work undertaken to define the service offering and place that figshare holds in the research output ecosystem at the University of Melbourne. It will also cover the development of integrations and workflows between systems to improve the flow of metadata to where is needs to be, and to reduce the need for manual or duplicate metadata creation. In addition, it will discuss improvements made to metadata to meet the needs of specific workflows and research projects, as well as broader strategic initiatives at the University. These developments and improvements have resulted in a more cohesive user experience and greater ability to promote, share, reuse and disseminate valuable research data and non-traditional research outputs (NTROs).

description: We have observed the interference of optical diffraction radiation (ODR) and optical transition radiation (OTR) produced by the interaction of a relativistic electron beam with a micromesh foil and a mirror. The production of forward directed ODR from electrons passing through the holes and wires of the mesh and their separate interactions with backward OTR from the mirror are analyzed with the help of a simulation code. By careful choice of the micromesh properties, mesh-mirror spacing, observation wavelength and filter band pass, the interference of the ODR produced from the unperturbed electrons passing through the open spaces of the mesh and OTR from the mirror are observable above a broad incoherent background from interaction of the heavily scattered electrons passing through the mesh wires. These interferences (ODTRI) are sensitive to the beam divergence and can be used to directly diagnose this parameter. We compare experimental divergence values obtained using ODTRI, conventional OTRI, for the case when front foil scattering is negligible, and computed values obtained from transport code calculations and multiple screen beam size measurements. We obtain good agreement in all cases.

description: Fully analytic expressions, for the electric and magnetic fields of an ultrashort and tightly focused laser pulse of the radially polarized category, are presented to lowest order of approximation. The fields are derived from scalar and vector potentials, along the lines of our earlier work for a similar pulse of the linearly polarized variety. A systematic program is also described from which the fields may be obtained to any desired accuracy, analytically or numerically.

description: Cigarette smoking is inversely associated with education, and despite this gradient effect, individuals with a General Educational Development (GED) diploma, obtained through a high school equivalency test, have the highest smoking prevalence. Considered the high school equivalency credential, it is unclear why individuals with a GED have a substantially higher smoking prevalence compared to high school graduates and dropouts. We conducted a qualitative study to understand life experiences, tobacco use patterns, and perceptions of tobacco among GED smokers and attitudes and behaviors around smoking cessation. We recruited 40 GED smokers aged 18 to 35 years and conducted surveys and semi-structured individual interviews. Transcripts were independently coded, then coding differences were resolved and reviewed by a third team member. We independently determined themes within and between codes and met to determine final themes. GED recipients had many early life experiences and characteristics that made them highly vulnerable to tobacco dependence. With perceived high cognitive abilities, GED smokers were knowledgeable of many evidence-based smoking cessation strategies and were aware of health risks. Health risks and the financial burden of smoking were motivation to quit. The majority were uninterested or lacked confidence that nicotine replacement therapy, medications, counseling, or the quitline could help them quit. Nearly all were enthusiastic and confident that financial incentives had the potential to help them quit. Research is needed to determine whether financial incentives could improve smoking cessation outcomes in this unique population with an unequal burden of smoking.

description: In this work, radially symmetric kink-like solutions in the presence of impurities are investigated for both flat and curved $D+1$ spacetimes, with geometry generated by a rotationally invariant background metric. We have examined the constraints placed upon the model by Derrick's theorem, and found out the Bogomol'nyi bound and equations of the symmetric restriction to this theory. Impurity-doped versions of a $ϕ^4$ model in two dimensions and a model with logarithmic potential in a Schwarzschild background have been explicitly worked out. The resulting configurations have been compared with those found in the homogeneous version of the theory, so that the effect of impurities in the form of solutions may be better appreciated. We have also generalized to higher dimensions some of the results that had been presented in the recent literature. These results relate to the possibility of BPS-preserving impurities, which we have found to still exist in the spacetimes considered in this work. We also investigate ways in which these results may be extended in a curved background.

description: This review focuses on the physics of Gamma Ray Bursts probed through their radio afterglow emission. Even though radio band is the least explored of the afterglow spectrum, it has played an important role in the progress of GRB physics, specifically in confirming the hypothesized relativistic effects. Currently radio astronomy is in the beginning of a revolution. The high sensitive Square Kilometer Array (SKA) is being planned, its precursors and pathfinders are about to be operational, and several existing instruments are undergoing upgradation. Thus, the afterglow detection statistics and results from follow up programs are expected to improve in the coming years. We list a few avenues unique to radio band which if explored to full potential have the promise to greatly contribute to the future of GRB physics.

``Theory of Theories'' Approach to String Theory

Year: 1993

description: We propose a new formulation of gauge theories as a quantum theory which has the gauge theory action $S$ as its dynamical variable. This system is described by a simple actional $I(S)$ (that is, an action for the action $S$) whose equation of motion gives the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) master equation for $S$. Upon quantization we find that our new formulation is reduced to something like a topological field theory having a BRST exact gauge-fixed actional. Therefore the present formulation can reproduce ordinary gauge theories since the path-integral over $S$ is dominated by the classical configuration which satisfies the BV master equation. This ``theory of theories'' formulation is intended to be applied to closed string field theory.
