at CEPC: ISR effect with MadGraph
The Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is a future Higgs factory
proposed by the Chinese high energy physics community. It will operate at a
center-of-mass energy of 240-250 GeV. The CEPC will accumulate an integrated
luminosity of 5 ab in ten years' operation. With GEANT4-based full
simulation samples for CEPC, Higgs boson decaying into electron pair is studied
at the CEPC. The upper limit of could reach
0.024\% at 95\% confidence level. The signal process is generated by MadGraph,
with Initial State Radiation (ISR) implemented, as a first step to adjust
MadGraph for a electron positron Collider.Comment: Accepted version by J.P.
A Light-Weight Opportunistic Forwarding Protocol with Optimized Preamble Length for Low-Duty-Cycle Wireless Sensor Networks
In wireless sensor networks, sensed information is expected to be reliably and timely delivered to a sink in an ad-hoc way. However, it is challenging to achieve this goal because of the highly dynamic topology induced from asynchronous duty cycles and temporally and spatially varying link quality among nodes. Currently some opportunistic forwarding protocols have been proposed to address the challenge. However, they involve complicated mechanisms to determine the best forwarder at each hop, which incurs heavy overheads for the resource-constrained nodes. In this paper, we propose a light-weight opportunistic forwarding (LWOF) scheme. Different from other recently proposed opportunistic forwarding schemes, LWOF employs neither historical network information nor a contention process to select a forwarder prior to data transmissions. It confines forwarding candidates to an optimized area, and takes advantage of the preamble in low-power-listening (LPL) MAC protocols and dual-channel communication to forward a packet to a unique downstream node towards the sink with a high probability, without making a forwarding decision prior to data transmission. Under LWOF, we optimize LPL MAC protocol to have a shortened preamble (LWMAC), based on a theoretical analysis on the relationship among preamble length, delivery probability at each hop, node density and sleep duration. Simulation results show that LWOF, along with LWMAC, can achieve relatively good performance in terms of delivery reliability and latency, as a receiver-based opportunistic forwarding protocol, while reducing energy consumption per packet by at least twice
Speed limitation of a mobile robot and methodology of tracing odor plume in airflow environments
AbstractThe methodology of tracing odor plume via a mobile robot is considered. In this research, two typical plume-tracing methods, i.e., a zigzagging method and an upwind method, are tested in four airflow fields with different long-time average wind speeds when the robot is set to possessing four different maximum speeds. According to the simulation results, it can be deduced that the zigzagging algorithms would be efficient when the robot moves faster than the odor plume or airflow, and the upwind algorithms are preferred especially when the robot is slow
Study on coupling effect between the time-varying gear backlash and the different time-varying mesh parameters on the gear system
The vibration excitation of the rolling mill mainly comes from the gearbox in the process of rolling strip, and the meshing excitation is the main excitation factor of the gearbox. And the gear backlash plays an important role in the meshing excitation. However, the backlash is inevitable in the process of designing the gear system. Therefore, it is important to select the appropriate gear backlash to reduce the vibration amplitude of the gearbox, to improve the rolling speed and the quality of the steel strip. So, in this paper, the effect of the different variation amplitudes for the time-varying gear backlash (TVGB) on the vibration characteristics of the gear system under various mesh parameters is studied. A new formulation for calculating nonlinear damping and time varying meshing stiffness is applied in this coupling model. The results show that increasing of the load torque, the damping ratio, the system parameter or decreasing the directional rotation radius variation or kinematic transmission error caused the effects of variation amplitudes for the (TVGB) on the dynamic characteristics of the gear system to decrease. Test data from a gearbox experimental table verifies the accuracy of the model. The model is shown to be capable of simulating the mutually coupled effect between the backlash and the different parameters on the gear system. So, the new coupled model can be used as guide to select the appropriate gear backlash values for the rolling mill under different operating conditions
