description: Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a promising medical imaging modality providing the spatial resolution of ultrasound (US) imaging and the contrast of pure optical imaging. For linear-array PAI, a beamformer has to be used as the reconstruction algorithm. Delay-and-sum (DAS) is the most prevalent beamforming algorithm in PAI. However, using DAS beamformer leads to low resolution images along with significant effects of the off-axis signals. Coherence factor (CF) is a weighting method in which each pixel of the reconstructed image is weighted, based on the spatial spectrum of the aperture, to improve the contrast. In this paper, it has been shown that the numerator of the formula of CF contains a DAS algebra, and it was proposed to use the delay-multiply-and-sum (DMAS) beamformer instead of the available DAS on the numerator. The proposed weighting technique, modified CF (MCF), has been evaluated numerically and experimentally compared to CF, and it was shown that MCF leads to lower sidelobes and better detectable targets. The quantitative results of the experiment (using wire targets) show that MCF leads to for about 45% and 40% improvement, in comparison with CF, in the terms of signal-to-noise ratio and full-width-half-maximum, respectively.

description: The modification of the production of $J/ψ$, $ψ(\mathrm{2S})$, and $\mitΥ(n\mathrm{S})$ ($n = 1, 2, 3$) in $p$+Pb collisions with respect to their production in $pp$ collisions has been studied. The $p$+Pb and $pp$ datasets used in this paper correspond to integrated luminosities of $28$ $\mathrm{nb}^{-1}$ and $25$ $\mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ respectively, collected in 2013 and 2015 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, both at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV. The quarkonium states are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel. The yields of $J/ψ$ and $ψ(\mathrm{2S})$ are separated into prompt and non-prompt sources. The measured quarkonium differential cross sections are presented as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum, as is the nuclear modification factor, $R_{p\mathrm{Pb}}$ for $J/ψ$ and $\mitΥ(\mathrm{1S})$. No significant modification of the $J/ψ$ production is observed while $\mitΥ(\mathrm{1S})$ production is found to be suppressed at low transverse momentum in $p$+Pb collisions relative to $pp$ collisions. The production of excited charmonium and bottomonium states is found to be suppressed relative to that of the ground states in central $p$+Pb collisions.

description: The small-scale distribution of dark matter in Galactic halos is poorly known. Several studies suggest that it could be very clumpy, which turns out to be of paramount importance when investigating the annihilation signal from exotic particles (e.g. supersymmetric or Kaluza-Klein). In this paper we focus on the annihilation signal in positrons. We estimate the associated uncertainty, due to the fact that we do not know exactly how the clumps are distributed in the Galactic halo. To this aim, we perform a statistical study based on analytical computations, as well as numerical simulations. In particular, we study the average and variance of the annihilation signal over many Galactic halos having the same statistical properties. We find that the so-called boost factor used by many authors should be handled with care, as i) it depends on energy and ii) it may be different for positrons, antiprotons and gamma rays, a fact which has not received any attention before. As an illustration, we use our results to discuss the positron spectrum measurements by the HEAT experiment.

description: We follow the prevailing view that black holes do not destroy but rather process and release information in the form of Hawking radiation. By making certain conservative assumptions regarding the interior dynamics of the quantum system we suggest an outside observer could, in principle, recover the initial quantum state $\left|ψ\right\rangle $ before the black hole has evaporated half of its entropy. In the current framework the retention time is associated with the time scale for a local perturbation to become effectively undetectable (scrambling time). Also, we provide a scenario for storing the information about an infalling matter in the near-horizon region in a layered fashion. Later we present a generic phenomena which provides a set of boundary conditions for breaking the trans-horizon vacuum entanglement between in- and out-modes, and thus preserve the effective field theory after Page time $\mathcal{O}(R^{3})$. The scenario follows from black hole perturbation theory. We further argue the proposed Planckian-amplitude horizon oscillations can account for the physical membrane which an observer at future null infinity $\mathcal{L}^{+}$ measures in the complementarity conjecture.

description: We exhibit a simple, systematic procedure for detecting and correcting errors using any of the recently reported quantum error-correcting codes. The procedure is shown explicitly for a code in which one qubit is mapped into five. The quantum networks obtained are fault tolerant, that is, they can function successfully even if errors occur during the error correction. Our construction is derived using a recently introduced group-theoretic framework for unifying all known quantum codes.

description: On March 25th 2019, the Belle II detector recorded the first collisions delivered by the SuperKEKB accelerator. This marked the beginning of the physics run with vertex detector. The vertex detector was aligned initially with cosmic ray tracks without magnetic field simultaneously with the drift chamber. The alignment method is based on Millepede II and the General Broken Lines track model and includes also the muon system alignment and part of drift chamber calibrations. To control weak modes, we employ sensitive validation tools and various track samples can be used as alignment input, from straight cosmic tracks to mass-constrained decays. With increasing luminosity and experience, the alignment is approaching the target performance, crucial for the first physics analyses in the era of Super-B-Factories. We will present the software framework for the detector calibration and alignment, the results from the first physics run and the prospects in view of the experience with the first data.

We generalize them in two directions: (1) from $k=2$ to any $k\geq 2;$ (2) from concrete examples (Potts and SOS models) of $q-$ component models to any $q$- component models (with nearest neighbor interactions). We give a set of periodic ground states for the model. Using the contour argument which was developed in [12] we show existence of $q$ different Gibbs measures for $q$-component models on Cayley tree of order $k\geq 2$.

description: Lithium abundance in most of the warm metal-poor main sequence stars shows a constant plateau (A(Li)~2.2 dex) and then the upper envelope of the lithium vs. metallicity distribution increases as we approach solar metallicity. Meteorites, which carry information about the chemical composition of the interstellar medium at the solar system formation time, show a lithium abundance A(Li)~3.26 dex. This pattern reflects the Li enrichment history of the interstellar medium during the Galaxy lifetime. After the initial Li production in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the sources of the enrichment include AGB stars, low-mass red giants, novae, type II supernovae, and Galactic cosmic rays. The total amount of enriched Li is sensitive to the relative contribution of these sources. Thus different Li enrichment histories are expected in the Galactic thick and thin disc. We investigate the main sequence stars observed with UVES in Gaia-ESO Survey iDR4 catalog and find a Li-[alpha/Fe] anticorrelation independent of [Fe/H], Teff, and log(g). Since in stellar evolution different α enhancements at the same metallicity do not lead to a measurable Li abundance change, the anticorrelation indicates that more Li is produced during the Galactic thin disc phase than during the Galactic thick disc phase. We also find a correlation between the abundance of Li and s-process elements Ba and Y, and they both decrease above the solar metallicity, which can be explained in the framework of the adopted Galactic chemical evolution models.

description: This study uses case study and qualitative content analysis methodologies to answer the question: What is the relationship between Washington State's k-12 science education standards and the environmental sustainability needs of the Palouse River Watershed? After defining the Palouse Watershed's attributes, the author presents a land use history of the Palouse from prehistory to the present. Investigation of Palouse land, air, and water issues revealed that the Palouse Watershed is one of the most damaged ecosystems in the United States. Current efforts at restoring environmental quality in the Palouse were considered along with unaddressed environmental needs. Twenty-seven restorative and educative strategies were elucidated and later employed in a qualitative content analysis of Washington State's 58 k-12 science education standards. Content analysis revealed that only two of 58 science standards have content that is connected with preparing students to address the actual environmental sustainability needs of the Palouse Watershed.

Beyond X.509: token-based authentication and authorization in practice

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: One of the key challenges identified by the HEP R&D roadmap for software and computing is the ability to integrate heterogeneous resources in support of the computing needs of HL-LHC. In order to meet this objective, a flexible Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) has to be in place, to allow the secure composition of computing and storage resources provisioned across heterogeneous providers (e.g., Grid, private and commercial Clouds, HPC centers). At CHEP 2018, we presented how a flexible AAI based on modern, standard Web technologies (OpenID Connect, OAuth and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)) and centered on the INDIGO Identity and Access Management (IAM) service could support the transition of the WLCG infrastructure to a token-based AAI. In the meanwhile, INDIGO IAM has been selected by the WLCG Management Board as the solution that will be adopted by LHC experiments, and is also at the core of the AAI envisioned to support the computing needs of the ESCAPE project. In this contribution, which represents a follow up to last-year plenary talk, we describe the work done in the past year on the IAM service, discussing the results of the initial integration activities with key middleware components for data management and computing (StoRM, dCache, DPM, XRootD, RUCIO, HTCondor). We also discuss how relevant standardization efforts (e.g., the WLCG Authorization WG activities and AARC) and emerging requirements from other communities are driving the IAM evolution agenda.
Identification of quantitative trait loci and molecular markers for disease, insent and agronomic traits in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Creators: name: Carter, Arron H.
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Wheat -- Genetic aspects

description: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a staple global crop, resulting in significant efforts to create sustainable cropping systems through improving agronomic traits and enhancing disease and insect pest resistance in commercial cultivars. Our first objective was to develop a genetic linkage map using 188 recombinant inbred lines from a 'Louise' by 'Penawawa' cross to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for high-temperature, adult-plant resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici). The genetic linkage map was constructed using 295 polymorphic simple sequence repeat and one single nucleotide polymorphism markers. F5:6 lines were evaluated for stripe rust reaction, and subsequent agronomic traits, under natural infection in replicated field trials at five locations in the U.S. Pacific Northwest in 2007 and 2008. One major QTL, designated QYrlo.wpg-2BS, associated with HTAP resistance in Louise, was detected on chromosome 2BS (LOD scores ranging from 5.5 to 62.3 across locations and years) and flanked by Xwmc474 and Xgwm148. Our second objective was to identify DNA markers associated with the Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor [Say]) resistance gene H3. Fifteen plants per line were evaluated under greenhouse conditions, scored as either resistant or susceptible and data were converted to percentage of plants susceptible. Two markers, Xpsp2999 and Xcfd15 were significantly associated with H3 at a LOD score of 65.2, and accounted for 83% of the phenotypic variation. Our third objective was to identify QTL associated with seedling growth habit, leaf color, plant height, heading date, maturity date, grain volume weight, grain protein concentration, and grain volume. The QTL QFlt.wak-2D and QMat.wak-2D were associated with the Ppd-D1 gene for photoperiod insensitivity. Variation in plant height was associated with three QTL on chromosome 3B and one QTL on chromosome 2D. A QTL for leaf color was identified on chromosome 2B. Grain yield QTL were attributed to the effects other QTL had on pest resistance, plant growth and adaptability. Seedling growth habit mapped to chromosome 2D, and a significant QTL for grain volume weight was detected on chromosome 1D. Forward breeding strategies implementing selection using these markers will increase agronomic performance and the durability of pest resistance in developed cultivars.
Critical behavior and monopole density in U(1) lattice gauge theory

description: Our study of the energy distribution has shown that the strength of the first order transition in the four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory decreases when the coupling $λ$ of the monopole term increases. The disappearance of the energy gap for sufficiently large values of $λ$ indicates that the transition ultimately becomes of second order. In our present investigation, based on a finite-size analysis, we show that already at $λ= 0.9$ the critical exponent is characteristic of a second-order transition. Interestingly, this exponent turns out to be definitely different from that of the Gaussian case. We observe that the monopole density becomes constant in the second order region. In addition we find the rather surprising result that the phase transition persists up to very large values of $λ$, where the transition moves to (large) negative $β$.

description: We investigate the evolution of the galaxy Star Formation Rate Function (SFRF) and Cosmic Star Formation Rate Density (CSFRD) of $z\sim 0-8 $ galaxies in the Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments (EAGLE) simulations. In addition, we present a compilation of UV, IR and H$α$ SFRFs and compare these with the predictions from the EAGLE suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. We find that the constraints implied by different indicators are inconsistent with each other for the highest star-forming objects at z < 2, a problem that is possibly related to selection biases and the uncertainties of dust attenuation effects. EAGLE's feedback parameters were calibrated to reproduce realistic galaxy sizes and stellar masses at z = 0.1. In this work we test if and why those choices yield realistic Star Formation Rates (SFRs) for $z \sim 0-8$ as well. We demonstrate that SNe feedback plays a major role at setting the abundance of galaxies at all star-forming regimes, especially at high redshifts. On the contrary, Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback becomes more prominent at lower redshifts and is a major mechanism that affects only the highest star-forming systems. Furthermore, we find that galaxies with SFR $\sim 1-10 \, {\rm M_{\odot} \, yr^{-1}}$ dominate the CSFRD at redshifts z < 5, while rare high star-forming galaxies (SFR $\sim 10-100 \,{\rm M_{\odot} \, yr^{-1}}$) contribute significantly only briefly around the peak era ($z \sim 2$) and then are quenched by AGN feedback. In the absence of this prescription objects with SFR $\sim 10-100 \,{\rm M_{\odot} \, yr^{-1}}$ would dominate the CSFRD, while the cosmic budget of star formation would be extremely high. Finally, we demonstrate that the majority of the cosmic star formation occurs in relatively rare high mass halos ($ {\rm M_{Halo}} \sim 10^{11-13} \, {\rm M_{\odot}}$) even at the earliest epochs.

When do slack resources impact new venture success?
Creators: name: Mousa, Fariss-Terry
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: New business enterprises

description: A significant body of research exists on organizational slack in large publicly traded firms. Little work exists on the value of slack resources for younger firms. Using a unique sample of high-tech, initial public offerings (IPOs), this dissertation examines how slack resources affect the short- and long-term success of these firms. Financial and non-financial data are collected from IPO prospectuses. I argue and test the relationship using partial hierarchical regression analysis that firms that possess financial, innovational, and managerial slack resources provide a signal to potential investors regarding the quality of the IPO. The results provide evidence that slack resources increase IPO value and percent premium paid. I also estimate the semiparametric Cox Proportional Hazards model to test whether slack resources significantly impact the probability of post-IPO survival. I find that the probability of post-IPO survival increases with pre-IPO working capital and R&D-investment slack. For practitioners, the most important implication is that certain types of slack resources are essential for the success of startup firms. Some key findings include: a strong financial position and sufficient managerial talent and expertise at the time of the IPO were found to be vital for achieving high valuation. While, for the long run, leading one s industry in investments in research and development (R&D) is essential to the survival of post-IPO firms. For research, the most important findings are IPO firm-specific slack resources may act as a signal of quality, different forms of slack resources (financial, innovational, and managerial) are vital to short- and long-term success, investors place considerable value on slack resources, and a deeper understanding of the behavior of slack resources in a unique setting.

description: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is necessary for the regulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesized and secreted from gonadotrope cells of the anterior pituitary. GnRH signals to regulate genes through a transcriptional hierarchy, and herein we show that the co-factor [beta]-catenin is a required component of this network. GnRH stimulates [beta]-catenin accumulation and is required for expression of several gonadotrope specific genes through interactions with steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) and T-cell factor (TCF). Regulation of the four gonadotrope specific genes, Lhb, Fshb, Cga and Gnrhr requires SF1 in addition to several immediate early genes that confer hormonal responsiveness including Jun and Atf3. The work presented here demonstrates that SF1 and [beta]-catenin interactions are necessary for maximal regulation of Lhb subunit gene downstream of GnRH. This provides one input for [beta]-catenin in the gonadotrope transcriptional network and suggests that the co-factor may be important in regulation of the other gonadotrope specific genes. Beta-catenin was originally identified as a downstream mediator of WNT signaling through interactions with TCF proteins. A requirement for TCF in regulation of Jun/JUN downstream of GnRH provides a second input for [beta]-catenin in the transcriptional network. TCF and [beta]-catenin interactions are necessary for Jun mRNA accumulation, as well as transcriptional activity of a truncated CGA promoter reporter. These observations suggest that similar signaling pathways may mediate TCF-dependent transcription downstream of GnRH. We have found that similar signaling pathways regulate increased message of both Jun and Atf3. Furthermore, we found that the signaling pathway that mediates these events downstream of GnRH requires calcium mobilization and calcineurin activity. Increased cellular calcium and calcineurin activity is necessary for GnRH regulation of an NFAT responsive promoter, providing another possible site of action for [beta]-catenin through direct or indirect interactions. These studies demonstrate that [beta]-catenin is a key player in regulation of several gonadotrope genes, and interactions with SF1 and TCF are necessary for gonadotrope function.

description: By our definition, "restricted Dirichlet-to-Neumann map" (DN) means that the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary data for a Coefficient Inverse Problem (CIP) are generated by a point source running along an interval of a straight line. On the other hand, the conventional DN data can be generated, at least sometimes, by a point source running along a hypersurface. CIPs with the restricted DN data are non-overdetermined in the $n-$D case with $n \geq 2$. We develop, in a unified way, a general and a radically new numerical concept for CIPs with restricted DN data for a broad class of PDEs of the second order, such as, e.g. elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic ones. Namely, using Carleman Weight Functions, we construct globally convergent numerical methods. Hölder stability and uniqueness are also proved. The price we pay for these features is a well acceptable one in the Numerical Analysis: we truncate a certain Fourier-like series with respect to some functions depending only on the position of that point source. At least three applications are: imaging of land mines, crosswell imaging and electrical impedance tomography.
Email-based threats - addressing the human factor
Creators: name: Lopienski, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Since years, e-mail is one of the main attack vectors that organisations and individuals face. Malicious actors use e-mail messages to run phishing attacks, to distribute malware, and to send around various types of scams. While technical solutions exist to filter out most of such messages, no mechanism can guarantee 100% efficiency. Recipients themselves are the next, crucial layer of protection - but unfortunately, they fall for the various tricks used by attackers way too often. This presentation will start with a quick overview of social engineering tricks used these days in both generic and targeted attacks. We will briefly look at strengths and limitations of technical counter-measures such as spam filters and antimalware protection. We will then focus on the human aspect, and in particular on user education. Lessons from awareness raising campaigns run at CERN in the last few years will be discussed, and compared to approaches employed by other organisations, and proposed by companies offering commercial solutions.

Mapping the Temporalities of Digital Engagement: Development and Validation of the Felt Time Scale (FTS)
Creators: name: Trepte, Sabine
name: Dombrowski, Jana
Publisher: name: OSF
Year: 2024

description: Recently, our field has begun questioning the assumption that self-reported media usage reflects actual time spent, leading to a shift from subjective to objective measurements. We advocate for a new paradigm that, instead of abandoning subjectivity, places it at the forefront of our research. To this end, we introduce a novel theoretical and methodological framework of ‘felt time’ that captures the nuances of how individuals perceive time passage while interacting with media. In two studies (N1=68, N2=1,030), we develop a measure called the Felt Time Scale (FTS) and its short version (FTS-S), revealing that studies relying on subjective, self-reported or the more objective, tracked screen time may have overlooked a critical dimension of users’ media experiences: felt time. We validate the scale in the context of screen media use and show empirically that screen engagement situationally alters how people feel time, producing unique effects. We conclude by proposing future directions that integrate this perspective, aiming to foster a comprehensive understanding of screen time.

A numerical study of turbulence, dispersion, and chemistry within and above forest canopies
Creators: name: Edburg, Steven Lee
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Forest canopies

description: This research focused on understanding turbulence, dispersion, and chemistry within and above forest canopies. In the first study, we used a one-dimensional turbulence model to calculate turbulent diffusivities for a three dimensional scalar transport model. The goal was to provide forest managers with quantitative data to guide them in the placement of synthetic pheromone traps for combating bark beetle infestations. The model is requires low computational resources, and thus is well suited for use in a web-based portal. In the second study, we developed two reduced chemical mechanisms for use in large eddy simulations (LES) of NOx-O3-VOC chemistry within and above a forest canopy. In the third study, we used LES to study the effect of vertical scalar source/sink distribution on scalar concentration moments, fluxes, and correlation coefficients within and above an ideal forest canopy. All scalar concentration moments, fluxes, and correlation coefficients were affected by the source location. In the final study, we used large eddy simulation (LES) to study non-linear effects of turbulent mixing on in-canopy NOx-O3-VOC chemistry for a northern hardwood forest located at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS). We found that under daytime conditions at UMBS, non-linear effects of mixing on chemistry were not significant. However, simulations for a high radical environment showed that mixing significantly altered VR-BVOC oxidation, and NOx-O3 chemistry. As the canopy absorbed more momentum and/or O3 deposition to the canopy increased, the non-linear effect of mixing on chemistry increased, which suggests that the effect of non-linear mixing on chemistry is greater in tall, dense canopies as compared to shorter, less dense canopies.
THz-Frequency Spin-Hall Auto-Oscillator Based on a Canted Antiferromagnet

description: We propose a design of a THz-frequency signal generator based on a layered structure consisting of a current-driven platinum (Pt) layer and a layer of an antiferromagnet (AFM) with easy-plane anisotropy, where the magnetization vectors of the AFM sublattices are canted inside the easy plane by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). The DC electric current flowing in the Pt layer creates, due to the spin-Hall effect, a perpendicular spin current that, being injected in the AFM layer, tilts the DMI-canted AFM sublattices out of the easy plane, thus exposing them to the action of a strong internal exchange magnetic field of the AFM. The sublattice magnetizations, along with the small net magnetization vector $\textbf{m}_{\rm DMI}$ of the canted AFM, start to rotate about the hard anisotropy axis of the AFM with the THz frequency proportional to the injected spin current and the AFM exchange field. The rotation of the small net magnetization $\textbf{m}_{\rm DMI}$ results in the THz-frequency dipolar radiation that can be directly received by an adjacent (e.g. dielectric) resonator. We demonstrate theoretically that the radiation frequencies in the range $f=0.05-2$~THz are possible at the experimentally reachable magnitudes of the driving current density, and evaluate the power of the signal radiated into different types of resonators, showing that this power increases with the increase of frequency $f$, and that it could exceed 1~$μ$W at $f \sim 0.5$~THz for a typical dielectric resonator of the electric permittivity $\varepsilon \sim 10$ and quality factor $Q \sim 750$.

Synthesis, spectroscopic, and thermodynamic study of uranyl and neodymium phosphate solid phases
Creators: name: Armstrong, Christopher Robert
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Uranium compounds

description: Hydrated uranyl phosphates comprise some of the most refractory U-bearing minerals in oxidizing environments. As such, these solids are expected to precipitate where in-situ phosphate amendments are employed in contaminant remediation scenarios. However, the structure, stability, and mechanisms by which these hydrated uranyl phosphates form are not well understood. The work presented herein is largely focused on (1) synthesis of a suite of hydrated uranyl phosphates, (2) characterization of these phases using a variety of analytical techniques, (3) analysis of the solution phases associated with the solids that form, and (4) development of thermodynamic data for these hydrated uranyl phosphates. In a related study, the uptake of the lanthanide cation neodymium onto hydroxylapatite (HA): Ca5(PO4)3OH was also investigated. The following novel contributions are presented in this study. 1. We synthesized, for the first time, the mixed actinide and lanthanide phosphate, francoisite-(Nd):Nd[(UO2)3OOH(PO4)2)]" H2O. 2. The transformation of chernikovite: H3O[(UO2)(PO4)]" H2O into triuranyl diphosphate tetrahydrate (TDT):(UO2)2(PO4)3" H2O was demonstrated. 3. The solubility of triuranyl diphosphate tetrahydrate (TDT) was measured at 23 and 50oC, and we report the first log Ksp data for elevated temperature. 4. The energetics of hydration were investigated for the natural meta autunite mineral (Ca[(UO2)(PO4)]2 " .5H2O and synthetic sodium autunite: Na2[(UO2)(PO4)]2 " H2O. 5. We show that the uptake mechanism of Nd onto HA is highly pH dependent. Whereas at high pH (ca. 10), isomorphic Nd-Ca substitution is observed, at lower pH (ca. 4), the precipitation of a discrete hydrated NdPO4 phase is evidenced

description: Next-to-leading order predictions matched to parton showers are compared with recent ATLAS data on inclusive photon production and CMS data on associated photon and jet production in pp and pPb collisions at different centre-of-mass energies of the LHC. We find good agreement and, as expected, considerably reduced scale uncertainties compared to previous theoretical calculations. Predictions are made for the ratio of inclusive photons over decay photons $R_γ$, an important quantity to evaluate the significance of additional photon sources, e.g. thermal radiation from a Quark-Gluon-Plasma, and for distributions in the parton momentum fraction in lead ions $x_{\rm Pb}^{\rm obs}$, that could be determined by ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb in ongoing analyses of photon+jet production in pPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV. These data should have an important impact on the determination of nuclear effects such as shadowing at low $x$.
