Description of proton-calcium scattering using the α-particle model

The theoretical proton-⁴⁰Ca optical potential is constructed based on theα-particle model of the nucleus. With this potential, the differential cross section, analysing power and the spin rotation function for 200 MeV proton-⁴⁰Ca elastic scattering are calculated. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Field ionization theory: A new,analytic, formalism

A new formalism for the calculation of field ionization rate-constants near a model metal surface is derived. Approximate analytic formulae are given for the ionization rate-constant of an atom as a function of distance from the metal surface, for the total probability of ionization on a single pass through the ionization zone and for the width of the ionization zone. Theoretical estimates of best image fields are given for gas atoms of interest in field ion microscopy. The clarity of approach and computational ease of the method is shown to be compatible with the production of acceptably accurate results.

The maximal solution of a restricted subadditive inequality in numerical analysis

For a fixed non-negative integerp, letU _2p = {U _2p (n)},n ≥ 0, denote the sequence that is defined by the initial conditionsU _2p (0) =U _2p (1) =U _2p (2) = =U _2p (2p) = 1 and the restricted subadditive recursion $$U_{2p} (n + 2p + 1) = \mathop {\min }\limits_{0 \leqslant l \leqslant p} (U_{2p} (n + l) + U_{2p} (n + 2p - l)),n \geqslant 0$$ U _2p is of importance in the theory of sequential search for simple real zeros of real valued continuous 2p-th derivatives In this paper, several closed form expressions forU _2p (n), n > 2p, are determined, thereby providing insight into the structure ofU _2p Two of the properties thus illuminated are (a) the existence of exactlyp + 1 limit points (1 + 1/(p + 1 +i), 0 ≤i ≤p) of the associated sequence {U _2p (n + 1)/U _2p (n)},n ≥ 0, and (b) the relevance toU _2p of the classic number theoretic function ord

Visual Speech Recognition with Lightweight Psychologically Motivated Gabor Features

Extraction of relevant lip features is of continuing interest in the visual speech domain. Using end-to-end feature extraction can produce good results, but at the cost of the results being difficult for humans to comprehend and relate to. We present a new, lightweight feature extraction approach, motivated by human-centric glimpse-based psychological research into facial barcodes, and demonstrate that these simple, easy to extract 3D geometric features (produced using Gabor-based image patches), can successfully be used for speech recognition with LSTM-based machine learning. This approach can successfully extract low dimensionality lip parameters with a minimum of processing. One key difference between using these Gabor-based features and using other features such as traditional DCT, or the current fashion for CNN features is that these are human-centric features that can be visualised and analysed by humans. This means that it is easier to explain and visualise the results. They can also be used for reliable speech recognition, as demonstrated using the Grid corpus. Results for overlapping speakers using our lightweight system gave a recognition rate of over 82%, which compares well to less explainable features in the literature.     

Reconstruction of physics objects at the Circular Electron Positron Collider with Arbor

After the Higgs discovery, precise measurements of the Higgs properties and the electroweak observables become vital for the experimental particle physics. A powerful Higgs/Z factory, the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is proposed. The Particle Flow oriented detector design is proposed to the CEPC and a Particle Flow algorithm, Arbor is optimized accordingly. We summarize the physics object reconstruction performance of the Particle Flow oriented detector design with Arbor algorithm and conclude that this combination fulfills the physics requirement of CEPC.     

Finite-temperature transitions in dipolar spin ice in a large magnetic field

We use Monte Carlo simulations to identify the mechanism that allows for phase transitions in dipolar spin ice to occur and survive for an applied magnetic field H much larger in strength than that of the spin-spin interactions. In the most generic and highest symmetry case, the spins on one out of four sublattices of the pyrochlore decouple from the total local exchange+dipolar+applied field. In the special case where H is aligned perfectly along the [110] crystallographic direction, spin chains perpendicular to H show a transition to q=X long-range order, which proceeds via a one- to three-dimensional crossover. We propose that these transitions are relevant to the origin of specific heat features observed in powder samples of the Dy2Ti2O7 spin ice material for H above 1 Tesla.
