Estimating the linear relation between variables that are never jointly observed: an application in in vivo experiments
This work is motivated by in vivo experiments in which measurement are destructive so that the variables of interest can never be observed simultaneously when the aim is to estimate the regression coefficients of a linear regression. Assuming that the global experiment can be decomposed into sub experiments (corresponding for example to different doses) with distinct first moments, we propose different estimators of the linear regression which take account of that additional information. We con…

Towards Prebiotic Chemistry on Titan: Impact experiments on organic haze particles
Impacts are critical to producing the aqueous environments necessary to stimulate prebiotic chemistry on Titan's surface. Furthermore, organic hazes resting on the surface are a likely feedstock of biomolecules. In this work, we conduct impact experiments on laboratory-produced organic haze particles and haze/sand mixtures and analyze these samples for life's building blocks. Samples of unshocked haze and sand particles are also analyzed to determine the change in biomolecule concentrations and…

While MPPI can find a Gaussian-approximated optimal action distribution in closed form, i.e., without iterative solution updates, it struggles with the multimodality of the optimal distributions.

Tunneling time, the barrier time-delay and weak measurement What was or can actually be measured with the Attoclock?
The measurement of the tunneling time-delay in attosecond experiments, termed attoclock, despite its controversies, offers a fruitful opportunity to understand the tunneling time and the tunnel-ionization process. In previous work, we showed a model that well describes the time-delay measured by the attoclock experiment in the adiabatic and nonadiabatic field calibrations. In the present work we show that the tunneling time reveals a universal behavior, with disentangled contribution, where the…

Switchback Experiments under Geometric Mixing
The switchback is an experimental design that measures treatment effects by repeatedly turning an intervention on and off for a whole system. Switchback experiments are a robust way to overcome cross-unit spillover effects; however, they are vulnerable to bias from temporal carryovers. In this paper, we consider properties of switchback experiments in Markovian systems that mix at a geometric rate. We find that, in this setting, standard switchback designs suffer considerably from carryover bia…

In this paper, we study a class of fractional $1$-Laplacian diffusion equations with variable orders, proposed as a model for multiplicative noise removal. The existence and uniqueness of the weak solution are proven. To overcome the difficulties in the approximation process,we place particular emphasis on studying the density propertiesof the variable-order fractional Sobolev spaces. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our model exhibits favorable performance across the entire image.

For incommensurate twistings, the interlayer coupling acts as an effective disorder strength. Whereas for weak couplings the whole spectrum remains erg…

Demistifying Inference after Adaptive Experiments
Adaptive experiments such as multi-arm bandits adapt the treatment-allocation policy and/or the decision to stop the experiment to the data observed so far. This has the potential to improve outcomes for study participants within the experiment, to improve the chance of identifying best treatments after the experiment, and to avoid wasting data. Seen as an experiment (rather than just a continually optimizing system) it is still desirable to draw statistical inferences with frequentist guarante…

Finite speed of sound effects on asymmetry in multibubble cavitation
Three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) are used to revisit the experiments on multibubble cavitation performed by Bremond et al. (https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2396922, Phys.

Enhancement of Magnon Transport by Superconductor Meissner Screening
Recent experiments observe the spin-wave-Meissner-current modes in ferromagnetic insulator-superconductor heterostructures, in which the coherently excited spin waves seemingly do not decay as usual beneath the superconductor strip [Borst et al., Science 382, 430 (2023)]. We interpret this phenomenon by demonstrating that the stray magnetic field emitted by the magnetization dynamics is reflected, focused, and enhanced inside the ferromagnet by the supercurrent induced in the superconductor, su…

Peculiar magnetism and magneto-transport properties in a non-centrosymmetric self-intercalated van der Waals ferromagnet Cr5Te8
Trigonal Cr5Te8, a self-intercalated van der Waals ferromagnet with an out of plane magnetic anisotropy, has long been known to crystallise in a centrosymmetric structure. Through detailed structural analysis together with second harmonic generation experiments, we show that the compound actually adopts a non-centrosymmetric structure. A large anomalous Hall conductivity of 102 Ω^(-1) cm^(-1) at low temperature stems from intrinsic origin, which is larger than any previously reported values in…

A Light-Front Model for the Transition Distribution Amplitudes for Backward Timelike Compton Scattering
To access information on the internal structure of the nucleon, data from a variety of scattering experiments can be analyzed, in regimes where the information factorizes from an otherwise known scattering amplitude. A recent development, promising new insight, is the study of exclusive reactions in the backward kinematical region, where the information can be encoded in Transition Distribution Amplitudes (TDAs). We model the photon-to-nucleon TDAs, entering the factorized description of backwa…

Measured densities were compared with the values obtained in simulations preformed with the use of CORSIKA code within the f…

Broadening of the Divertor Heat Flux Profile in High Confinement Tokamak Fusion Plasmas with Edge Pedestals Limited by Turbulence in DIII-D
Multi-machine empirical scaling predicts an extremely narrow heat exhaust layer in future high magnetic field tokamaks, leading to disastrous material erosion. In the experiments presented, the width of this exhaust layer is nearly doubled by using actuators to increase turbulent transport in the plasma edge. This is achieved in low collisionality, high confinement edge pedestals with their gradients limited by turbulent transport instead of large-scale, coherent instabilities. The exhaust heat…

https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.19624 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.19624
arXiv:2404.19624v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We investigate how recent updates to neutrino oscillation parameters and the sum of neutrino masses influence the sensitivity of neutrinoless double-beta (0$\nu\beta\beta$) decay experiments. Incorporating the latest cosmological constraints on the sum of neutrino masses and laboratory measurements on oscillations, we determine the sum of neutrino masses for both the normal hierarchy (NH) and the inverted hierarchy (IH). Our analysis reveals a narrow range for the sum of neutrino masses, approximately 0.06 eV/c$^2$ for NH and 0.102 eV/c$^2$ for IH. Utilizing these constraints, we calculate the effective Majorana masses for both NH and IH scenarios, establishing the corresponding allowed regions. Importantly, we find that the minimum neutrino mass is non-zero, as constrained by the current oscillation parameters. Additionally, we estimate the half-life of 0$\nu\beta\beta$ decay using these effective Majorana masses for both NH and IH. Our results suggest that upcoming ton-scale experiments will comprehensively explore the IH scenario, while 100-ton-scale experiments will effectively probe the parameter space for the NH scenario, provided the background index can achieve 1 event/kton-year in the region of interest.
