Sonification can provide valuable insights about data but most existing approaches are not designed to be controlled by the user in an interactive fashion. Interactions enable the designer of the sonification to more rapidly experiment with sound des...
We derive, and experimentally demonstrate, an interferometric scheme for unambiguous phase estimation with precision scaling at the Heisenberg limit that does not require adaptive measurements. That is, with no prior knowledge of the phase, we can ob...
(warning: long ass post) It's clear to everyone at this point, stuff's bad. With the past two losses, things look worse than ever. We're now on year 3 of the Freeze experiment and we don't look much...
Magnetic correlations in superconducting LiFeAs were studied by elastic and by inelastic neutron scattering experiments. There is no indication for static magnetic ordering but inelastic correlations appear at the incommensurate wave vector (0:5+-d 0...
Recent results on the hadroproduction of charm and beauty are discussed in the context of the current theoretical and experimental status. The areas covered include production of open charm and beauty particles and charm and beauty quarkonia. Exper...
Does gravity care about electric charge? Precision tests of the weak equivalence principle achieve remarkable sensitivity but deliberately minimize electric charge on test masses, leaving this fundamental question experimentally open. We present a mi...
In October 2019, Nature published a paper describing an experiment that took place at Google. The paper claims to demonstrate quantum (computational) supremacy on a 53-qubit quantum computer. Since September 2019 we have been involved in a long-term...
Deceptive elements, including honeypots and decoys, were incorporated into the Microsoft CyberBattleSim experimentation and research platform. The defensive capabilities of the deceptive elements were tested using reinforcement learning based attacke...
Based on the simplified approach it is shown and experimentally confirmed that gas gain in wire chambers at very low pressure becomes higher on thicker wires at the same applied high voltage. This is a consequence of the fact that the first Townsen...
We summarize and combine direct measurements of the mass of the $W$ boson in $\sqrt{s} = 1.96 \text{TeV}$ proton-antiproton collision data collected by CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Earlier measurements from CDF and D0 are...
The $pp \to W^{\pm} (\to μ^{\pm} ν_μ) X$ cross-sections are measured at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 100 pb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. Conside...
Volume 1 of the FCC Feasibility Report presents an overview of the physics case, experimental programme, and detector concepts for the Future Circular Collider (FCC). This volume outlines how FCC would address some of the most profound open questions...
The LHCb upgrade represents a major change of the experiment. The detectors have been almost completely renewed to allow running at an instantaneous luminosity five times larger than that of the previous running periods. Readout of all detectors into...
We explore the use of liveness for interactive program verification for a simple concurrent object language. Our experimental IDE integrates two (formally dual) kinds of continuous testing into the development environment: compatibility-checking, whi...
Experimentally observed grey solitons are analytically extracted from a physically viable \GP equation. Associated Lieb and Bogoliubov modes are calculated for these class of solitons. It is observed that, these nonlinear excitations have strong...
The $M_x \text{Bi}_2 \text{Se}_3$ family are candidates for topological superconductors, where $M$ could be Cu, Sr, or Nb. Two-fold anisotropy has been observed in various experiments, prompting the interpretation that the superconducting state is ne...
A joint measurement is presented of the branching fractions $B^0_s\toμ^+μ^-$ and $B^0\toμ^+μ^-$ in proton-proton collisions at the LHC by the CMS and LHCb experiments. The data samples were collected in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, a...
The Nuclotron-base Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under construction at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), with commissioning of the facility expected in late 2022. The Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) has been designed to operate at NICA...
A detailed study is presented of the expected performance of the ATLAS detector. The reconstruction of tracks, leptons, photons, missing energy and jets is investigated, together with the performance of b-tagging and the trigger. The physics potent...
We show using theory and experiments that a small particle moving along an elastic membrane through a viscous fluid is repelled from the membrane due to hydro-elastic forces. The viscous stress field produces an elastic disturbance leading to particl...
