Hadronic Final States
In this summary we give a concise overview of the experimental and theoretical results, which were presented during the QCD and Hadronic Final State Working Group sessions at the DIS 2007 workshop....
A computational model of the bottlenose dolphin sonar: Feature-extracting method
The data describing a process of echo-image formation in bottlenose dolphin sonar perception were accumulated in our experimental explorations. These data were formalized mathematically and used in the computational model, comparative testing of wh...
Echo-processing mechanisms in bottlenose dolphins
The mechanisms of echo-processing were investigated in our experiments, conducted on bottlenose dolphins. Hierarchically organized system of independent dimensions, describing echoes in animals perception, was revealed. The rules of discrimination an...

The ANDES Deep Underground Laboratory
ANDES (Agua Negra Deep Experiment Site) is a unique opportunity to build a deep underground laboratory in the southern hemisphere. It will be built in the Agua Negra tunnel planned between Argentina and Chile, and operated by the CLES, a Latin Americ...
Experimental validation of a linear momentum and bluff-body model for high-blockage cross-…
In a confined flow, the performance of a turbine and its near-wake fluid dynamics depend on the blockage ratio, defined as the ratio of the turbine projected area to the channel cross-sectional area. While blockage is understood to increase the power...
Restyling Images with the Bangladeshi Paintings Using Neural Style Transfer: A Comprehensi…
In today's world, Neural Style Transfer (NST) has become a trendsetting term. NST combines two pictures, a content picture and a reference image in style (such as the work of a renowned painter) in a way that makes the output image look like an image...
Validation Experiments for LBM Simulations of Electron Beam Melting
This paper validates 3D simulation results of electron beam melting (EBM) processes comparing experimental and numerical data. The physical setup is presented which is discretized by a three dimensional (3D) thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). An...
The use of the Long Baseline Array in Australia for precise geodesy and absolute astrometr…
We report the results of a successful 12 hour 22 GHz VLBI experiment using a heterogeneous network that includes radio telescopes of the Long Baseline Array (LBA) in Australia and several VLBI stations that regularly observe in geodetic VLBI campai...
Ethane and methane at high pressures: structure and stability
We have performed a combined experimental and theoretical study of ethane and methane at high pressures up to 120 GPa at 300 K using x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy and the USPEX ab-initio evolutionary structural search algorithm, respective...
High-resolution hypernuclear spectroscopy at Jefferson Lab, Hall A
The experiment E94-107 in Hall A at Jefferson Lab started a systematic study of high resolution hypernuclear spectroscopy in the 0p-shell region of nuclei such as the hypernuclei produced in electroproduction on 9Be, 12C and 16O targets. In order to...
Observing hyperfine interactions of NV centers in diamond in an advanced quantum teaching…
The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV$^-$) center in diamond is a model quantum system for university teaching labs due to its room-temperature compatibility and cost-effective operation. Based on the low-cost experimental setup that we have de...
The Generalized Parton Distributions program at Jefferson Lab
The Generalized Parton Distributions (GPD) have drawn a lot of interest from the theoretical community since 1997, but also from the experimental community and especially at Jefferson Lab. First, the results for Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (D...
A Neutron Scattering Study of Magnetic Excitations in the Spin Ladder (VO)2P2O7
In this letter we report results from inelastic neutron scattering experiments on powder samples of vanadyl pyrophosphate, (VO)2P2O7. We see evidence for three magnetic excitations, at 3.5 meV, 6.0 meV and 14 meV. The intensity of the 3.5 meV mode...
Mellin-Barnes Integrals: A Primer on Particle Physics Applications
We discuss the Mellin-Barnes representation of complex multidimensional integrals. Experiments frontiered by the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider at CERN and future collider projects demand the development of computational methods to achieve the...
Comparing and combining CMB datasets
One of the best ways of spotting previously undetected systematic errors in CMB experiments is to compare two independent observations of the same region. We derive a set of tools for comparing and combining CMB data sets, applicable also in the co...
Exploration of Methods to Remove Implanted $^{210}$Pb and $^{210}$Po Contamination from Si…
Radioactive contaminants on the surfaces of detector components can be a problematic source of background events for physics experiments searching for rare processes. Exposure to radon is a specific concern because it can result in the relatively lon...
Diffusion of $^{210}\text{Pb}$ and $^{210}\text{Po}$ in Nylon
Radon and its progeny constitute a major source of background in rare-event physics experiments, such as those searching for dark matter, neutrinos, and neutrinoless double beta decay, due to their origin as unavoidable decay products of natural uran...
Science of a coffee cup: a physicist walks into a bar...
... and annoys everyone with unsolicited experiments. The present paper proposes a short pedagogical review of the various phenomena that can be observed in a coffee cup with little to no equipment. The physical domains spanned include acoustics, opt...
EagleTree: Exploring the Design Space of SSD-Based Algorithms
Solid State Drives (SSDs) are a moving target for system designers: they are black boxes, their internals are undocumented, and their performance characteristics vary across models. There is no appropriate analytical model and experimenting with comm...
