    Degeneracy of vector-channel spatial correlators in high temperature QCD

    Full text link
    We study spatial isovector meson correlators in Nf=2N_f=2 QCD with dynamical domain-wall fermions on 323×832^3\times 8 lattices at temperatures up to 380 MeV with various quark masses. We measure the correlators of spin-one isovector operators including vector, axial-vector, tensor and axial-tensor. At temperatures above TcT_c we observe an approximate degeneracy of the correlators in these channels, which is unexpected because some of them are not related under SU(2)L×SU(2)RSU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R nor U(1)AU(1)_A symmetries. The observed approximate degeneracy suggests emergent SU(2)CSSU(2)_{CS} (chiral-spin) and SU(4)SU(4) symmetries at high TT.Comment: 8 pages, 2 tables, 4 figures.

    Baryon spectroscopy with spatially improved quark sources

    Get PDF
    We study baryons on the lattice with a special focus on excited states. For that purpose we construct several interpolators which differ in their Dirac structure. These interpolators are built from Jacobi smeared quarks with different widths in order to allow for operators with improved spatial wavefunctions. We compute all cross correlations and use the variational method to determine which combinations of operators have best overlap with ground and excited states. Our approach yields promising results for the spin-1/2 baryons: nucleon, sigma, xi and lambda. For the spin-3/2 baryons, delta and omega, we obtain results which are consistent with results of other groups.Comment: LaTeX [PoS], 6 pages, 4 figures, talk presented at Lattice 2005 (Hadron spectrum and quark masses

    Psychiatry in the Digital Age: A Blessing or a Curse?

    Get PDF
    Social distancing and the shortage of healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of population aging on the healthcare system, as well as the rapid pace of digital innovation are catalyzing the development and implementation of new technologies and digital services in psychiatry. Is this transformation a blessing or a curse for psychiatry? To answer this question, we conducted a literature review covering a broad range of new technologies and eHealth services, including telepsychiatry; computer-, internet-, and app-based cognitive behavioral therapy; virtual reality; digital applied games; a digital medicine system; omics; neuroimaging; machine learning; precision psychiatry; clinical decision support; electronic health records; physician charting; digital language translators; and online mental health resources for patients. We found that eHealth services provide effective, scalable, and cost-efficient options for the treatment of people with limited or no access to mental health care. This review highlights innovative technologies spearheading the way to more effective and safer treatments. We identified artificially intelligent tools that relieve physicians from routine tasks, allowing them to focus on collaborative doctor-patient relationships. The transformation of traditional clinics into digital ones is outlined, and the challenges associated with the successful deployment of digitalization in psychiatry are highlighted

    Hadron Spectroscopy with Dynamical Chirally Improved Fermions

    Full text link
    We simulate two dynamical, mass degenerate light quarks on 16^3x32 lattices with a spatial extent of 2.4 fm using the Chirally Improved Dirac operator. The simulation method, the implementation of the action and signals of equilibration are discussed in detail. Based on the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator we discuss some qualitative features of our approach. Results for ground state masses of pseudoscalar and vector mesons as well as for the nucleon and delta baryons are presented.Comment: 26 pages, 17 figures, 10 table

    An innovative approach for DEMO core fuelling by inboard injection of high-speed pellets

    Core fuelling of DEMO tokamak fusion reactor is under investigation within the EUROfusion Work Package “Tritium, Fuelling and Vacuum”. An extensive analysis of fuelling requirements and technologies, suggests that pellet injection still represents, to date, the most realistic option. Modelling of both pellet penetration and fuel deposition profiles for different injection locations, assuming a specific plasma reference scenario and the ITER reference pellet mass (6 × 1021 atoms), indicates that: 1) Low Field Side (LFS) injection is inadequate; 2) Vertical injection may be effective only provided that pellets are injected at ∼ 10 km/s from a radial position ≤∼8 m; 3) effective core fuelling can be achieved launching pellets from the High Field Side (HFS) at ∼1 km/s. HFS injection was therefore selected as the reference scheme, though scenarios featuring less steep density and temperature gradients at the plasma edge could induce to reconsider vertical injection at speeds in the range of 4–5 km/s. To deliver intact pellets at 1 km/s from the HFS, the use of guide tubes with a bend radius ≥6 m is envisaged. The results of above simulations rely on the hypothesis that pellets are delivered at the plasma edge with the desired mass and speed. However, mass erosion and fracturing of pellets inside the guide tube (severely limiting the transfer speed), as well as pressure build up and speed losses at relevant injection rates, might hamper the use of curved guide tubes. An additional innovative approach, aimed at identifying inboard straight “free flight” injection paths, to inject pellets from the HFS at significantly higher speeds, is proposed and discussed as a backup solution. Outboard high-speed injection is still being considered, instead, for JT-60SA

    Excited hadrons on the lattice: Mesons

    We present results for masses of excited mesons from quenched calculations using chirally improved quarks at pion masses down to 350 MeV. The key features of our analysis are the use of a matrix of correlators from various source and sink operators and a basis which includes quark sources with different spatial widths, thereby improving overlap with states exhibiting radial excitations.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures; version accepted to PR

    Efficient Light Management by Textured Nanoimprinted Layers for Perovskite Solar Cells

    Inorganic organic perovskites like methylammonium lead iodide have proven to be an effective class of materials for fabricating efficient solar cells. To improve their performance, light management techniques using textured surfaces, similar to those used in established solar cell technologies, should be considered. Here, we apply a light management foil created by UV nanoimprint lithography on the glass side of an inverted p i n perovskite solar cell with 16.3 efficiency. The obtained 1 mA cm 2 increase in the short circuit current density translates to a relative improvement in cell performance of 5 , which results in a power conversion efficiency of 17.1 . Optical 3D simulations based on experimentally obtained parameters were used to support the experimental findings. A good match between the simulated and experimental data was obtained, validating the model. Optical simulations reveal that the main improvement in device performance is due to a reduction in total reflection and that relative improvement in the short circuit current density of up to 10 is possible for large area devices. Therefore, our results present the potential of light management foils for improving the device performance of perovskite solar cells and pave the way for further use of optical simulations in the field of perovskite solar cell
