GRIPS and the Perspective of Next-generation Gamma-ray Surveys

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: GRIPS is one example of next generation telescopes proposed for astronomy the energy range between hard X-ray mirror instruments such as NuStar and the Fermi telescope. The Compton telescope principle is an advantageous concept in view of background suppression, imaging sensitivity within a large field of view and energy range, and capability to measure polarization. The diversity of astrophysical sources at high energies (diffuse emission from cosmic-ray interactions, nuclear lines from point-like and diffuse sources, accreting binaries, cosmic-ray acceleration sites, novae and supernovae, GRBs) presents a challenge, and in particular emphasizes the need for large fields of view and surveys. We discuss the astrophysical challenges which are expected to remain after the extended INTEGRAL mission, and how such a next-generation survey at low-energy gamma-rays would impact on these. We argue that qualitatively new and more direct insights could be obtained on cosmic high-energy phenomena and their underlying physical processes.

description: It was recently realized that quenched disorder may enhance the reliability of topological qubits by reducing the mobility of anyons at zero temperature. Here we compute storage times with and without disorder for quantum chains with unpaired Majorana fermions - the simplest toy model of a quantum memory. Disorder takes the form of a random site-dependent chemical potential. The corresponding one-particle problem is a one-dimensional Anderson model with disorder in the hopping amplitudes. We focus on the zero-temperature storage of a qubit encoded in the ground state of the Majorana chain. Storage and retrieval are modeled by a unitary evolution under the memory Hamiltonian with an unknown weak perturbation followed by an error-correction step. Assuming dynamical localization of the one-particle problem, we show that the storage time grows exponentially with the system size. We give supporting evidence for the required localization property by estimating Lyapunov exponents of the one-particle eigenfunctions. We also simulate the storage process for chains with a few hundred sites. Our numerical results indicate that in the absence of disorder, the storage time grows only as a logarithm of the system size. We provide numerical evidence for the beneficial effect of disorder on storage times and show that suitably chosen pseudorandom potentials can outperform random ones.

description: Using the piece of land in Markham, Ontario, purchased by the Bahá’í community for the eventual actualization of the first Bahá’í Temple in Canada, the intent of this Master’s Degree Project is to propose a design for that purpose. In pursuit of this objective, research is done exploring the characteristics of a Bahá’í Temple, using both religious texts and a study of precedent, reviewing possibilities for experimentation. A brief overview of symbolism and sacred place is conducted, beginning with general terms, and then examining a few relevant Bahá’í examples, such as the number nine. Subsequently, a short study of Canadian culture and architecture is done, examining possibilities of expression, in addition to subsequent design influences. After a fairly thorough site analysis, a method of design development is devised, resulting in the final product: A Bahá’í Temple for Canada.

description: The Reengineering Case of the Transformation Tool Contest 2011 deals with automatic extraction of state machine from Java source code. The transformation task involves complex, non-local matching of model elements. This paper contains the solution of the task using model transformation language MOLA. The MOLA solution uses higher-order transformations (HOT-s) to generate a part of the required MOLA program. The described HOT approach allows creating reusable, complex model transformation libraries for generic tasks without modifying an implementation of a model transformation language. Thus model transformation users who are not the developers of the language can achieve the desired functionality more easily.

description: We study piecewise affine policies for multi-stage adjustable robust optimization (ARO) problems with non-negative right-hand side uncertainty. First, we construct new dominating uncertainty sets and show how a multi-stage ARO problem can be solved efficiently with a linear program when uncertainty is replaced by these new sets. We then demonstrate how solutions for this alternative problem can be transformed into solutions for the original problem. By carefully choosing the dominating sets, we prove strong approximation bounds for our policies and extend many previously best-known bounds for the two-staged problem variant to its multi-stage counterpart. Moreover, the new bounds are - to the best of our knowledge - the first bounds shown for the general multi-stage ARO problem considered. We extensively compare our policies to other policies from the literature and prove relative performance guarantees. In two numerical experiments, we identify beneficial and disadvantageous properties for different policies and present effective adjustments to tackle the most critical disadvantages of our policies. Overall, the experiments show that our piecewise affine policies can be computed by orders of magnitude faster than affine policies, while often yielding comparable or even better results.

Hydrodynamic synchronisation of non-linear oscillators at low Reynolds number

description: We introduce a generic model of weakly non-linear self-sustained oscillator as a simplified tool to study synchronisation in a fluid at low Reynolds number. By averaging over the fast degrees of freedom, we examine the effect of hydrodynamic interactions on the slow dynamics of two oscillators and show that they can lead to synchronisation. Furthermore, we find that synchronisation is strongly enhanced when the oscillators are non-isochronous, which on the limit cycle means the oscillations have an amplitude-dependent frequency. Non-isochronity is determined by a nonlinear coupling $α$ being non-zero. We find that its ($α$) sign determines if they synchronise in- or anti-phase. We then study an infinite array of oscillators in the long wavelength limit, in presence of noise. For $α> 0$, hydrodynamic interactions can lead to a homogeneous synchronised state. Numerical simulations for a finite number of oscillators confirm this and, when $α<0$, show the propagation of waves, reminiscent of metachronal coordination.

description: We investigate ill-posed semidefinite programming problems for which Slater's constraint qualifications fail, and propose a new reliable termination criterium dealing with such problems. This criterium is scale-independent and provides verified forward error bounds for the true optimal value, where all rounding errors due to floating point arithmetic are taken into account. It is based on a boundedness qualification, which is satisfied for many problems. Numerical experiments, including combinatorial problems, are presented.

description: Plasmons, which are collective charge oscillations, offer the potential to use optical signals in nano-scale electric circuits. Recently, plasmonics using graphene have attracted interest, particularly because of the tunable plasmon frequency through the carrier density $n$. However, the $n$ dependence of the plasmon velocity is weak ($\propto n^{1/4}$) and it is difficult to tune the frequency over orders of magnitude. Here, we demonstrate that the velocity of plasmons in graphene can be changed over two orders of magnitude by applying a magnetic field $B$ and by the presence/absence of a gate; at high $B$, edge magnetoplasmons (EMPs), which are plasmons localized at the sample edge, are formed and their velocity depends on $B$ and the gate screening effect. The wide range tunability of the velocity and the observed low-loss plasmon transport encourage designing graphene nanostructures for plasmonics applications.

Initial characterization and intracellular localization of two suppressors of position effect variegation in drosophila melanogaster, S2214 and puckered
Creators: name: Toub, Omid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Emergence of the higher eukaryotic organisms from their prokaryotic ancestors has been closely associated with an increase of the genetic material. This progression has been dependant on machineries that can package the DNA to various extents, from the levels seen in the 30 nm fibers of interphase nuclei to that of metaphase chromosomes. These evolutionary changes in genome organization have correlated with advancements in regulation of gene expression during development. In eukaryotes, cellular differentiation is partly dependent on the mechanisms that would silence the correct genes in a particular tissue and maintain this silenced state throughout subsequent stages of development. To understand the factors involved in such mechanisms many labs, including ours, have used position effect variegation (PEV) to identify proteins that form or remodel the chromatin fiber. Genetic screens have identified S2214, and puckered as genes coding for putative modifiers of PEV. The aim of this thesis, is to characterize S2214, and puckered by addressing two main questions: i) do the mutations in each of these genes modify the phenotype observed in PEV? And ii) do their products localize to the nucleus, and if so to the chromatin? Results show that P element mutations in these genes cause dominant and strong suppression of PEV in wm⁴ and SbV. Moreover, the observed Su(var) activity is reverted upon mobilization of the P elements. I developed and purified an antibody for each gene. Puc, the product of puckered, localized to the nucleus of S2 and KC1cells (which are late embryonic Drosophila cell lines), as well as the nuclei of salivary gland cells of Drosophila melanogaster, but could not be detected on the polytene chromosomes. In addition, S2214, the product of S2214, was found in the nuclear fraction of S2 cells, and could be observed within the nuclei of S2 and KC1 cells as well as those of the salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster. Furthermore, S2214 was found at several interbands of the polytene chromosomes of these salivary glands. It is our conclusion that gene products of both S2214 and puckered are involved in mechanisms that affect chromatin structure.

description: Imaging the change in the magnetization vector in real time by spin-polarized low-energy electron microscopy, we observed a hydrogen-induced, reversible spin-reorientation transition in a cobalt bilayer on Ru(0001). Initially, hydrogen sorption reduces the size of out-of-plane magnetic domains and leads to the formation of a magnetic stripe domain pattern, which can be understood as a consequence of reducing the out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy. Further hydrogen sorption induces a transition to an in-plane easy-axis. Desorbing the hydrogen by heating the film to 400 K recovers the original out-of-plane magnetization. By means of ab-initio calculations we determine that the origin of the transition is the local effect of the hybridization of the hydrogen orbital and the orbitals of the Co atoms bonded to the absorbed hydrogen.

description: We study the transport properties of a driven-dissipative quantum network, where multiple bosonic cavities such as photonic microcavities are coupled through a nonreciprocal bus with unidirectional transmission. For short-range coupling between the cavities, the occurrence of nonreciprocal amplification can be linked to a topological phase transition of the underlying dynamic Hamiltonian. However, for long-range coupling, we find that the nonreciprocal amplification transition deviates drastically from the topological phase transition. Nonetheless, we show that the nonreciprocal amplification transition can be connected to the emergence of zero-energy edge states of an auxiliary Hamiltonian with chiral symmetry even in the long-range coupling limit. We also investigate the stability, the crossover from short to long-range coupling, and the bandwidth of the nonreciprocal amplification. Our work has potential application in signal transmission and amplification, and also opens a window to non-Hermitian systems with long-range coupling and nontrivial boundary effects.

description: This paper studies hitting properties for the system of generalized fractional kinetic equations driven by Gaussian noise fractional in time and white or colored in space. We derive the mean square modulus of continuity and some second order properties of the solution. These are applied to deduce lower and upper bounds for probabilities that the path process hits bounded Borel sets in terms of the $\mathfrak{g}_q$-capacity and $g_q$-Hausdorff measure, respectively, which yield the critical dimension for hitting points. Further, based on some fine analysis of the harmonizable representation for the solution, we prove that all points are polar in the critical dimension. This provides strong evidence for the conjecture raised in Hinojosa-Calleja and Sanz-Solé [Stoch PDE: Anal Comp (2022). https://doi.org/10.1007/s40072-021-00234-6].

description: A current constrained approach is proposed to calculate negative differential conductance in molecular nano-junctions. A four-site junction is considered where a steady-state current is forced by inserting only the two central sites within the circuit. The two lateral sites (representing e.g. dangling molecular groups) do not actively participate in transport, but exchange electrons with the two main sites. These auxiliary sites allow for a variable number of electrons within the junction, while, as required by the current constrained approach, the total number of electrons in the system is kept constant. We discuss the conditions for negative differential conductance in terms of cooperativity, variability of the number of electrons in the junction, and electron correlations.

Massive-Star Nucleosynthesis and INTEGRAL

description: Products from massive-star nucleosynthesis have been measured with SPI on INTEGRAL: Characteristic gamma-ray lines from radioactive decays of long-lived 26Al and 60Fe isotopes, and from 44Ti decay (decay time 89y). Detections of both these isotopes has laid the foundation to peek into massive-star interiors, through different views at those measurements. The gamma-ray flux can be converted into amounts of these radioactive isotopes, but the constraints which derive from this for massive star models involve additional steps. -- Earlier results had demonstrated the basic constraints inherent to such radioactivity data, i.e. detection of 26Al is a calibration for massive-star yields, 60Fe enables an isotopic-yield ratio test eliminating modeling and observing bias aspects, and 44Ti searches showed that its production does not occur homogeneously over core-collapse events. The current status of 26Al and 60Fe observations and their analysis is reaching a threshold for astrophysical insights: Specific regions of massive star groups and their radioactivity gamma-rays have recently been investigated, such as Sco-Cen and Orion. As for 44Ti, spectroscopical information constrains ejection velocities of these inner supernova ejecta for the Cas A event. These parameters for massive stars can be related to other fields of astronomy, of nuclear physics experiments and theory, and of theoretical astrophysics. Thus, model improvements appear on the horizon, as e.g. implemented in the EuroGenesis program framework of the European Science Foundation.

description: Surface electrons in axion insulators are endowed with a topological layer degree of freedom followed by exotic transport phenomena, e.g., the layer Hall effect [Gao et al., Nature 595, 521 (2021)]. Here, we propose that such a layer degree of freedom can be manipulated in a dissipationless way based on the antiferromagnetic $\rm{MnBi_2Te_4}$ with tailored domain structure. This makes $\rm{MnBi_2Te_4}$ a versatile platform to exploit the "layertronics" to encode, process, and store information. Importantly, the layer filter, layer valve, and layer reverser devices can be achieved using the layer-locked chiral domain wall modes. The dissipationless nature of the domain wall modes makes the performance of the layertronic-devices superior to those in spintronics and valleytronics. Specifically, the layer reverser, a layer version of Datta-Das transistor, also fills up the blank in designing the valley reverser in valleytronics. Our work sheds light on constructing new generation electronic devices with high performance and low energy consumption in the framework of layertronics.

description: Non-Hermitian PT-symmetric quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians generally exhibit a phase transition that separates two parametric regions, (i) a region of unbroken PT symmetry in which the eigenvalues are all real, and (ii) a region of broken PT symmetry in which some of the eigenvalues are complex. This transition has recently been observed experimentally in a variety of physical systems. Until now, theoretical studies of the PT phase transition have generally been limited to one-dimensional models. Here, four nontrivial coupled PT-symmetric Hamiltonians, $H=p^2/2+x^2/2+q^2/2+y^2/2+igx^2y$, $H=p^2/2+x^2/2+q^2/2+y^2+igx^2y$, $H=p^2/2+x^2/2+q^2/2+y^2/2+r^2/2+z^2/2+igxyz$, and $H=p^2/2+x^2/2+q^2/2+y^2+r^2/2+3z^2/2+igxyz$ are examined. Based on extensive numerical studies, this paper conjectures that all four models exhibit a phase transition. The transitions are found to occur at $g\approx 0.1$, $g\approx 0.04$, $g\approx 0.1$, and $g\approx 0.05$. These results suggest that the PT phase transition is a robust phenomenon not limited to systems having one degree of freedom.

description: Estimating the ground state energy of a local Hamiltonian is a central problem in quantum chemistry. In order to further investigate its complexity and the potential of quantum algorithms for quantum chemistry, Gharibian and Le Gall (STOC 2022) recently introduced the guided local Hamiltonian problem (GLH), which is a variant of the local Hamiltonian problem where an approximation of a ground state (which is called a guiding state) is given as an additional input. Gharibian and Le Gall showed quantum advantage (more precisely, BQP-completeness) for GLH with $6$-local Hamiltonians when the guiding state has fidelity (inverse-polynomially) close to $1/2$ with a ground state.
 In this paper, we optimally improve both the locality and the fidelity parameter: we show that the BQP-completeness persists even with 2-local Hamiltonians, and even when the guiding state has fidelity (inverse-polynomially) close to 1 with a ground state. Moreover, we show that the BQP-completeness also holds for 2-local physically motivated Hamiltonians on a 2D square lattice or a 2D triangular lattice. Beyond the hardness of estimating the ground state energy, we also show BQP-hardness persists when considering estimating energies of excited states of these Hamiltonians instead. Those make further steps towards establishing practical quantum advantage in quantum chemistry.

description: Frequency dependent dynamic electromechanical response of the mixed ionic-electronic conductor film to a periodic electric bias is analyzed for different electronic and ionic boundary conditions. Dynamic effects of mobile ions concentration (stoichiometry contribution), charge state of acceptors (donors), electron concentration (electron-phonon coupling via the deformation potential) and flexoelectric effect contribution are discussed. A variety of possible nonlinear dynamic electromechanical response of MIEC films including quasi-elliptic curves, asymmetric hysteresis-like loops with pronounced memory window and butterfly-like curves are calculated. The electromechanical response of ionic semiconductor is predicted to be a powerful descriptor of local valence states, band structure and electron-phonon correlations that can be readily measured in the nanoscale volumes and in the presence of strong electronic conductivity.

description: Decomposing the shear signal into E and B-modes properly, i.e. without leakage of B-modes into the E-mode signal and vice versa, has been a long-standing problem in weak gravitational lensing. At the two-point level this problem was resolved by developing the so-called ring statistics, and later the COSEBIs; however, extending these concepts to the three-point level is far from trivial. Currently used methods to decompose three-point shear correlation functions (3PCFs) into E- and B-modes require knowledge of the 3PCF down to arbitrary small scales. This implies that the 3PCF needs to be modeled on scales smaller than the minimum separation of 2 galaxies and subsequently will be biased towards the model, or, in the absence of a model, the statistics is affected by E/B-mode leakage (or mixing). In this paper we derive a new third-order E/B-mode statistic that performs the decomposition using the 3PCF only on a finite interval, and thereby is free of any E/B-mode leakage while at the same time relying solely on information from the data. In addition, we relate this third-order ring statistics to the convergence field, thereby enabling a fast and convenient calculation of this statistic from numerical simulations. We note that our new statistics should be applicable to corresponding E/B-mode separation problems in the CMB polarization field.

Influence of local and long-distance dispersal on patterns of Bt resistance in cabbage loopers (Trichoplusia ni)
Creators: name: Franklin, Michelle Teresa

description: Subdivision of populations can significantly impact the maintenance of genetic variation and a population’s response to selection pressures. Agroecosystems, in which habitats are subdivided and selection pressures from insecticide use vary, provide some of the best opportunities for examining the genetic consequences of local adaptation. The insect pest, Trichoplusia ni has developed resistance to the microbial insecticide, Bacillus thuringiensis (kurstaki) in vegetable greenhouses in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Trichoplusia ni is a subtropical insect and is thought to migrate each spring from California to BC; however it can also persist year-round in BC greenhouses. Here, I examine the local and regional patterns of Bt resistance and their relation to the population genetic structure of T. ni. Patterns of Bt resistance suggest that early season dispersal occurs from over-wintered, Bt treated greenhouse populations into neighbouring untreated greenhouse populations in BC. Field populations surveyed from California to BC remain susceptible to Bt, but have failed to dilute resistance in Bt resistant greenhouse populations. To examine the influence of the genetic structure on Bt resistance, DNA isolation procedures were developed and primer combinations screened for amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. A lack of genetic structure was revealed at the regional scale and indicated that gene flow connects populations from California to BC. At the local scale, a surprising level of spatial and temporal genetic structure was detected. Greenhouse populations from the local areas of Delta, Langley, and Abbotsford formed genetically distinct groups, whereas the spring and summer field collections showed genetic similarity to long-range migrants. Temporal collections reveal a genetic shift between spring and summer and autumn collections that potentially could be attributed to the movement of long-range migrants into greenhouse and field populations in the autumn. Lastly, Bt resistance is positively correlated with genetic differentiation in populations and provides evidence that recurrent Bt sprays likely induce population bottlenecks in greenhouse populations. Overall, this study provides an example of human-induced changes in which geographically concentrated greenhouses that support year-round populations and strong selection from Bt use significantly alter the genetic structure of T. ni populations in BC.

description: Fomalhaut is a young, nearby star that is suspected to harbor an infant planetary system, interspersed with one or more belts of dusty debris. We present far-infrared images obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory with an angular resolution between 5.7 and 36.7 arcsec at wavelengths between 70 and 500 micrometer. The images show the main debris belt in great detail. Even at high spatial resolution, the belt appears smooth. The region in between the belt and the central star is not devoid of material; thermal emission is observed here as well. Also at the location of the star, excess emission is detected. We use a dynamical model together with radiative-transfer tools to derive the parameters of the debris disk. We include detailed models of the interaction of the dust grains with radiation, for both the radiation pressure and the temperature determination. Comparing these models to the spatially resolved temperature information contained in the images allows us to place strong constraints on the presence of grains that will be blown out of the system by radiation pressure. We use this to derive the dynamical parameters of the system. The appearance of the belt points towards a remarkably active system in which dust grains are produced at a very high rate by a collisional cascade in a narrow region filled with dynamically excited planetesimals. Dust particles with sizes below the blow-out size are abundantly present. The equivalent of 2000 one-km-sized comets are destroyed every day, out of a cometary reservoir amounting to 110 Earth masses. From comparison of their scattering and thermal properties, we find evidence that the dust grains are fluffy aggregates, which indicates a cometary origin. The excess emission at the location of the star may be produced by hot dust with a range of temperatures, but may also be due to gaseous free-free emission from a stellar wind.
