We report the results of a simultaneous X-ray and optical spectroscopy campaign on the Galactic black hole X-ray binary V4641 Sgr, carried out with XRISM and the Seimei telescope during a low-luminosity phase towards the end of its 2024 outburst. Despite a very low X-ray luminosity of $10^{34}$ erg s$^{-1}$, the continuum spectrum is well reproduced by a disk blackbody model with a high inner disk temperature ($1.8$ keV).

Language Generation in the Limit: Noise, Loss, and Feedback
Kleinberg and Mullainathan (2024) recently proposed a formal framework called language generation in the limit and showed that given a sequence of example strings from an unknown target language drawn from any countable collection, an algorithm can correctly generate unseen strings from the target language within finite time. This notion was further refined by Li, Raman, and Tewari (2024), who defined stricter categories of non-uniform and uniform generation. They showed that a finite union of …

Thoughts on Rust hashing
In languages like Python, Java, or C++, values are hashed by calling a “hash me” method on them, implemented by the type author. This fixed-hash size is then immediately used by the hash table or what have you. This design suffers from some obvious problems, like: How do you hash an integer? If you use a no-op hasher (booo), DoS attacks on hash tables are inevitable. If you hash it thoroughly, consumers that only cache hashes to optimize equality checks lose out of performance.

Installation and performance of the 3rd Veto plane at the SND@LHC detector
During 2022/2023 the optimal inefficiency of the Veto system of the SND@LHC detector was measured to be $(7.8\pm2.8)\times10^{-8}$. To reduce this inefficiency, a third Veto plane was installed during the 2023-2024 Year End Technical Stop. In addition, the Veto system was lowered to cover the target fully, thereby increasing acceptance. This paper describes how the inefficiency of the Veto system was reduced from $7.8\times10^{-8}$ with an acceptance of about $64\%$ of the target area in 2022-2…

The Cayley-crystals introduced in [F. R. Lux and E.

The one-body dynamics mimics that of a particle carrying multiple charges, each experiencing a distinct static gauge-…
