Monophotons from Scalar Portal Dark Matter at Neutrino Experiments
In this work, we investigate monophoton signatures arising from dark matter via a $2\to 3$ scattering process $χ+ N \to χ+ N + γ$ that is mediated by a virtual scalar and a Standard Model photon. Since the final-state photon carries a large fraction of the initial dark matter's energy, this process offers a compelling handle for probing scalar portal dark matter scenarios. Their distinctive energy, angular, and timing distributions allow for effective separation of signal from neutrino-induc…

Folks in NZ are starting to realise the implications of the impending EOL of Microsoft Windows 10 for our education system. In its finite wisdom, our MinOfEd has effectively locked all schools into either the use of MS Windows or Google ChromeOS. Both have fundamental issues like endless license hassles, EOLing OSs, ending support for Window or ChromeOS on specific computer models, etc. And that doesn't even start to talk about digital colonisation & sovereignty (see

MambAttention: Mamba with Multi-Head Attention for Generalizable Single-Channel Speech Enhancement
With the advent of new sequence models like Mamba and xLSTM, several studies have shown that these models match or outperform state-of-the-art models in single-channel speech enhancement, automatic speech recognition, and self-supervised audio representation learning. However, prior research has demonstrated that sequence models like LSTM and Mamba tend to overfit to the training set. To address this issue, previous works have shown that adding self-attention to LSTMs substantially improves gen…

Good Morning #Canada
This week, in 2022, gold miners in the Yukon discovered a near complete, mummified baby woolly mammoth. The Yukon has a world-renowned fossil record of ice age animals, but mummified remains with skin and hair are rarely unearthed. Geologists, with the Yukon Geological Survey and the University of Calgary, traveled 6 hours to the site and retrieved the remains less than an hour before a storm struck.

It has been [0] days since I got screwed by confusing `empty` with `mempty`.

Inductive-Effect-Driven Tunability of Magnetism and Lumines-cence in Triangular Layers ANd(SO4)2 (A = Rb, Cs)
Tuning the energy landscape of manybody electronic states in extended solids through the inductive effect-a concept widely used in organic chemistry-offers a new, effective strategy for materials development. Here, we demonstrate this approach using the ANd(SO4)2 (A = Rb, Cs) model system, which possesses different A-site electronegativity and displays a distorted triangular lattice of Nd3+ (4I9/2 ground term). Magnetization data indicate appreciable antiferromagnetic interactions without long-…

Monophotons at Neutrino Experiments from Neutrino Polarizability
Nontrivial electromagnetic properties of neutrinos are an avenue to physics beyond the Standard Model. To this end, we investigate the power of monophoton signals at neutrino experiments to probe a higher-dimensional operator connecting neutrinos to SM photons dubbed, neutrino polarizability. A simplified scenario giving rise to this operator involves a new pseudo-scalar that couples to both neutrinos and photons, with clear implications for axion-like particle (ALP) and Majoron physics. By ana…
