Optimization of the multiple sampling and signal extraction in non-destructive exposures
We derive the full covariance matrix formulae are derived for proper treatment of correlations in signal fitting procedures, extending the results from previous publications. The straight line fits performed with these matrices demonstrate that a significantly higher signal to noise is obtained when the fluence exceeds 1 e/sec/pix in particular in long (several hundreds of seconds) spectroscopic exposures. The improvement arising from the covariance matrix is particularly strong for the initial…

On the Farrell--Tate $K$-theory of $\text{Out}(F_n)$
Using Lück's Chern character isomorphism we obtain a general formula in terms of centralisers for the $p$-adic Farrell--Tate $K$-theory of any discrete group $G$ with a finite classifying space for proper actions. We apply this formula to $\text{Out}(F_n)$. The case $n=p+1$ turns out to be especially interesting for the following reason: Up to conjugacy there is exactly one order $p$ element in $\text{Out}(F_{p+1})$ which does not lift to an order $p$ element in $\text{Aut}(F_{p+1})$. We compu…

A Casimir-like probe for 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Virtual transitions in a Casimir-like configuration are utilized to probe quantum aspects of four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4D EGB) gravity. This study employs a quantum optics-based approach, wherein an Unruh-DeWitt detector (modeled as a two-level atom) follows a radial timelike geodesic, falling freely into an uncharged, nonrotating black hole described by 4D EGB gravity, becoming thermalized in the usual Unruh manner. The black hole, asymptotically Minkowskian, is enclosed by a Cas…

X-ray diffraction from smectic multilayers: crossover from kinematical to dynamical regime
We study X-ray diffraction in smectic liquid crystal multilayers. Such systems are fabricated as freely suspended films and have a unique layered structure. As such, they can be described as organic Bragg mirrors with sub-nanometer roughness. However, an interesting peculiarity arises in the diffraction on these structures: the characteristic shape of diffraction peaks associated with dynamical scattering effects is not observed. Instead, the diffraction can be well described kinematically, whi…
