Impact of embedded $^{163}$Ho on the performance of the transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters of the HOLMES experiment
We present a detailed investigation of the performance of transition-edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeters with $^{163}$Ho atoms embedded by ion implantation, as part of the HOLMES experiment aimed at neutrino mass determination. The inclusion of $^{163}$Ho atoms introduces an excess heat capacity due to a pronounced Schottky anomaly, which can affect the detector's energy resolution, signal height, and response time. We fabricated TES arrays with varying levels of $^{163}$Ho activity and charact…

Robotic System for Chemical Experiment Automation with Dual Demonstration of End-effector and Jig Operations
While robotic automation has demonstrated remarkable performance, such as executing hundreds of experiments continuously over several days, it is challenging to design a program that synchronizes the robot's movements with the experimental jigs to conduct an experiment. We propose a concept that enables the automation of experiments by utilizing dual demonstrations of robot motions and jig operations by chemists in an experimental environment constructed to be controlled by a robot.

Three-dimensional velocity gradient statistics in a mesoscale convection laboratory experiment
We present three-dimensional velocity gradient statistics from Rayleigh--Bénard convection experiments in a horizontally extended cell of aspect ratio 25, a paradigm for mesoscale convection. The Rayleigh number $Ra$ ranges from $3.7 \times 10^5$ to $4.8 \times 10^6$, and the Prandtl number $Pr$ from 5 to 7.1. Spatio-temporally resolved volumetric data are reconstructed from moderately dense Lagrangian particle tracking measurements. All nine components of the velocity gradient tensor from the…

Optimal experiment design for practical parameter identifiability and model discrimination
Mechanistic mathematical models of biological systems usually contain a number of unknown parameters whose values need to be estimated from available experimental data in order for the models to be validated and used to make quantitative predictions. This requires that the models are practically identifiable, that is, the values of the parameters can be confidently determined, given available data. A well-designed experiment can produce data that are much more informative for the purpose of inf…

Experimental demonstration of high-fidelity logical magic states from code switching
Preparation of high-fidelity logical magic states has remained as a necessary but daunting step towards building a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer. One approach is to fault-tolerantly prepare a magic state in one code and then switch to another, a method known as code switching. We experimentally demonstrate this protocol on an ion-trap quantum processor, yielding a logical magic state encoded in an error-correcting code with state-of-the-art logical fidelity. Our experiment is base…

Volumetric Functional Maps
The computation of volumetric correspondences between 3D shapes has great potential for medical and industrial applications. In this work, we pave the way for spectral volume mapping, extending for the first time the functional maps framework from the surface setting to the volumetric domain. We show that the eigenfunctions of the volumetric Laplace operator define a functional space that is suitable for high-quality signal transfer. We also experiment with various techniques that edit this fun…

The salience of reference points and expectations may significantly influence the loss aversion mechanism in effort provision. We exploit a natural experiment where highly professional and incentivized individuals perform their task in a setting with exogenous variation of reference-point salience. While a relevant reference point is salient in some cases, where it influences individuals' expectations, it is obscured in others. This enables us to examine the interplay between reference-point sa…

In the final talk of the morning sessions of the #SolarEclipse Conference Thoby Dittrich talked about the Modern Eddington Experiment (the website https://moderneddingtonexperiment.org is under heavy construction): the best observing result of gravitational deflection of starlight by the Sun in the optical during solar eclipses is still Brun's from 2017 - https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.00343 - while others have tried with a vengeance since. The goal remains to observe the significant deflection of star positions between 1 and 2 solar radii from the center of the Sun: this is known as the 'forbidden zone' because the corona can be very bright here and only bright stars can be measured reliably - but those in turn are rare. It turns out that the star fields around the totally eclipsed Sun in 2027 and 2028 will be unusually rich in good candidates so there is (or should be) considerable interest in the physics didactics community to make use of these eclipses in southern Spain / northern Africa and Australia, respectively. 4/n

The spin-orbit device has an inhomogeneous optical axis orientation and birefringence, allowing it to modulate two wavelengths of light with pre-selected transmission functions by simply tuning a voltage. We combine this bi-colour functionality in a nonlinear optical experiment by employing three-wave mixing in a periodically poled crystal to …

Impact of particle production mechanisms on pseudorapidity distribution and directed flow in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 19.6 GeV using AMPT model
The STAR experiment at the top RHIC energy has observed that the directed flow ($v_1$) of inclusive light hadrons is independent of the collision system size at a given centrality~\cite{STAR:2008jgm}. However, recent STAR measurements indicate a system-size dependence in the $v_1(y)$-slope ($dv_{1}/dy$) of protons, antiprotons, and their differences ($Δdv_{1}/dy$) at a given centrality, suggesting a potential influence of baryon production and transport mechanisms~\cite{Taseer:SQM2024talk}.

Effect of converging shape of container on the velocity of impact-induced focused liquid jet
We investigated the effect of container shape on the behavior of the impact-induced focused liquid jets by dropping a converging-shaped container (e.g., Kjeldahl flask) partially filled with liquid onto a floor to develop a method for increasing the jet velocity. Note that a similar well-known experiment, Pokrovski's experiment, in which a focused liquid jet is generated in a test tube, is free from the effect of the converging shape. The results showed that the jet was up to about 1.6 times fa…

Using krypton-83m to determine the neutrino-mass bias caused by a non-constant electric potential of the KATRIN source
Precision spectroscopy of the electron spectrum of the tritium $β$ decay near the kinematic endpoint is a direct method to determine the effective electron antineutrino mass. The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment aims to determine this quantity with a sensitivity of better than $0.3\,\mathrm{eV}$ ($90\,\%$~C.L.).

Search for Primordial Black Holes from the International Space Station with the SQM-ISS detector
In this paper we discuss the observational capabilities and sensitivity of the SQM-ISS detector to primordial black holes. The SQM-ISS experiment aims to detect slow, non relativistic massive particles within cosmic rays, using a detector on board the International Space Station. The device is designed to recognize the passage of highly penetrating and dense particles in a wide range of mass and charge states such as Strange Quark Matter (SQM). These particles, traveling at speeds typical of gr…

High-Sensitivity Fiber Interferometer for Gravitational Phase Shift Measurement on Entangled States
In this contribution, we describe the status of our experiment aimed at measuring the gravitationally induced phase shift on path-entangled photons. We use a kilometer-scale fiber interferometer whose arms are vertically displaced in the Earth gravitational potential, allowing photons propagating at different heights to accumulate different phases. To date, this is the first experiment to measure this effect on massless particles, thereby experimentally combining general relativity and quantum …

An independent search for Jovian neutrinos using BOREXINO data
In a recent study, arXiv:2401.13043 found evidence for a 6% flux contribution from Jupiter to the total flux rate time series data from the BOREXINO solar neutrino experiment, specifically during the time intervals 2019-2021 and 2011-2013. The significance of this detection was estimated to be around $2σ$. We reanalyze the BOREXINO data and independently confirm the Jovian signal with the same amplitude and significance as that obtained in arXiv:2401.13043. However, using the same technique, w…

Multi-Timescale Dynamics Model Bayesian Optimization for Plasma Stabilization in Tokamaks
Machine learning algorithms often struggle to control complex real-world systems. In the case of nuclear fusion, these challenges are exacerbated, as the dynamics are notoriously complex, data is poor, hardware is subject to failures, and experiments often affect dynamics beyond the experiment's duration. Existing tools like reinforcement learning, supervised learning, and Bayesian optimization address some of these challenges but fail to provide a comprehensive solution. To overcome these limi…

Simulation of dark photon sensitivity in $η\rightarrow γe^+e^-$ at HIAF
We present a simulation study of dark photon sensitivity in a suggested $η$ factory experiment at Huizhou. The vast number of $η$ mesons are produced by bombarding the high-intensity HIAF proton beam on a multi-layer target of light nucleus. The kinematic energy of the beam is at 1.8 GeV. For a prior experiment of one-month running, about $5.9 \times 10^{11}$ $η$ samples would be collected, providing substantial data for a sound statistical analysis.

A simulation model investigation of neutron-oxygen inelastic scattering and subsequent nucleus deexcitation based on experimental data
The hadron interaction model for light nuclei plays an important role in understanding the event topology of neutrino-nucleus interaction in a large-scale neutrino detector. In the Super-Kamiokande experiment, the neutral current quasi-elastic interaction induced by atmospheric neutrinos introduces 68-82% uncertainty in the search for diffuse supernova neutrino background. This uncertainty stems from the mismodeling of the interaction between oxygen and fast neutrons generated by the neutral cu…

Amid ongoing policy and managerial debates on keeping humans in the loop of AI decision-making, we investigate whether human involvement in AI-based service production benefits downstream consumers. Partnering with a large savings bank in Europe, we produced pure AI and human-AI collaborative investment advice, passed it to customers, and examined their advice-taking in a field experiment. On the production side, contrary to concerns that humans might inefficiently override AI output, we find t…

Debiased regression adjustment in completely randomized experiments with moderately high-dimensional covariates
Completely randomized experiment is the gold standard for causal inference. When the covariate information for each experimental candidate is available, one typical way is to include them in covariate adjustments for more accurate treatment effect estimation. In this paper, we investigate this problem under the randomization-based framework, i.e., that the covariates and potential outcomes of all experimental candidates are assumed as deterministic quantities and the randomness comes solely fro…

Effects of the sheared flow velocity profile shape on impedance eduction in a 2D duct
We assess the impact of the flow profile shape on acoustic propagation in a two-dimensional duct within the typical operating range of impedance eduction facilities. Firstly, a numerical experiment is proposed in which the Pridmore--Brown equation is assumed to represent the true physical behaviour, and is used with both simplified flow profiles commonly used in the literature and a realistic representation of a turbulent boundary layer using a van Driest universal law of the wall model.

Experimental observation of subabsorption
We predict and experimentally demonstrate a new type of collective (cooperative) coupling effect where a disordered atomic ensemble absorbs light with a rise-time longer (i. e., at a rate slower) than what is dictated by single-atom physics. This effect, which we name subabsorption, can be viewed as the absorptive analog of subradiance. The experiment is performed using a dilute ensemble of ultracold $^{87}$Rb atoms with a low optical depth, and time-resolving the absorption of a weak (tens of …

Wigner's friend experiment and its modern extensions display the ambiguity of the quantum mechanical description regarding the assignment of quantum states. While the friend applies the state-update rule to the system upon observing an outcome of her measurement in a quantum system, Wigner describes the friend's measurement as a unitary evolution, resulting in an entangled state for the composite system of the friend and the system. In this respect, Wigner is often referred to as a "superobserv…

This setup is expected to produce a sizable number of $e^+e^-$ pairs via nonlinear Breit-Wheeler mechanism in the strong-field tunneling regime, with an estimated yield of ~0.01-0.1 pairs per collision. This small signal rate typically comes along with large backgrounds originating, e.g., from dumping the high-charge primary beam, secondaries induced by the beam halo…
