    New approach to Dynamical Monte Carlo Methods: application to an Epidemic Model

    Full text link
    A new approach to Dynamical Monte Carlo Methods is introduced to simulate markovian processes. We apply this approach to formulate and study an epidemic Generalized SIRS model. The results are in excellent agreement with the forth order Runge-Kutta Method in a region of deterministic solution. We also demonstrate that purely local interactions reproduce a poissonian-like process at mesoscopic level. The simulations for this case are checked self-consistently using a stochastic version of the Euler Method.Comment: Written with Scientific WorkPlace 3.51 in REVTex4 format, 11 pages with 2 figures in postscript forma

    NIFS-programmet har vært en felles satsing mellom Jernbaneverket, Norges vassdrags- og energi­direktorat og Statens vegvesen. Etatene har store felles utfordringer, og et godt samarbeid er kostnadseffektivt og kompetanseoppbyggende for organisasjonene. Programmet er gjennomført i perioden 2012–2015, med sluttseminar i april 2016. NIFS har hatt som mål å utvikle kunnskap og gode, effektive og fremtidsrettede løsninger for å håndtere ulike naturfarer og bidra til økt samfunnssikkerhet. Gjennom FoU-programmet er det utredet og doku­mentert ulike problemstillinger knyttet til flom og skred. Resultatene har verdi for utøvelse av etatenes samfunnsoppdrag. Implementering av resultat og konkrete anbefalinger tilligger de respektive etatene.Rapporten konkluderer med at det er viktig å se på nedbørfeltet i sin helhet når man skal finne årsaken til flomskader. Rensk og vedlikehold av dreneringsveier er svært viktig for å forhindre vann på avveie, og for å redusere skadeomfanget under flomhendelser. Samfunnsøkonomiske analyser har vist at det er stor lønnsomhet i forebyggende tiltak, og for å gjennomføre gode og fungerende tiltak er det viktig med riktig fagkunnska

    Scrape Off Layer (SOL) transport and filamentary characteristics in high density tokamak regimes

    Get PDF
    A detailed cross-device investigation on the role of filamentary dynamics in high density regimes has been performed within the EUROfusion framework comparing ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and TCV tokamaks. Both devices have run density ramp experiments at different levels of plasma current, keeping toroidal field or q95 constant in order to disentangle the role of parallel connection length and the current. During the scan at constant toroidal field, in both devices SOL profiles tend to develop a clear Scrape Off Layer (SOL) density shoulder at lower edge density whenever current is reduced. The different current behavior is substantially reconciled in terms of edge density normalized to Greenwald fraction. During the scan at constant q95 AUG exhibits a similar behaviour whereas in TCV no signature of upstream profile modification has been observed at lower level of currents. The latter behaviour has been ascribed to the lack of target density roll-over. The relation between upstream density profile modification and detachment condition has been investigated. For both devices the relation between blob-size and SOL density e-folding length is found independent of the plasma current, with a clear increase of blob-size with edge density normalized to Greenwald fraction observed. ASDEX Upgrade has also explored the filamentary behaviour in H-Mode. The experiments on AUG focused on the role of neutrals, performing discharges with and without the cryogenic pumps, highlighting how large neutral pressure not only in the divertor but at the midplane is needed in order to develop a H-Mode SOL profile shoulder in AUG

    Measurement of the semileptonic t t̅ + γ production cross section in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV

    A measurement of the cross section for top quark-antiquark (t (t) over bar) pairs produced in association with a photon in proton-proton collisions at root s = 8TeV is presented. The analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(1). The signal is de fined as the production of a t (t) over bar pair in association with a photon having a transverse energy larger than 25 GeV and an absolute pseudorapidity smaller than 1.44. The measurement is performed in the fiducial phase space corresponding to the semileptonic decay chain of the t (t) over bar pair, and the cross section is measured relative to the inclusive t (t) over bar pair production cross section. The fiducial cross section for associated t (t) over bar pair and photon production is found to be 127 +/- 27 (stat + syst) fb per semileptonic final state. The measured value is in agreement with the theoretical prediction

    Search for a heavy resonance decaying to a top quark and a vector-like top quark at root s=13 TeV

    Get PDF
    A search is presented for massive spin-1 Z' resonances decaying to a top quark and a heavy vector-like top quark partner T. The search is based on a 2.6 fb(-1) sample of proton-proton collisions at 13TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The analysis is optimized for final states in which the T quark decays to a W boson and a bottom quark. The focus is on all-jet final states in which both the W boson and the top quark decay into quarks that evolve into jets. The decay products of the top quark and of the W boson are assumed to be highly Lorentz-boosted and cannot be reconstructed as separate jets, but are instead reconstructed as merged, wide jets. Techniques for the identification of jet substructure and jet flavour are used to distinguish signal from background events. Several models for Z' bosons decaying to T quarks are excluded at 95% confidence level, with upper limits on the cross section ranging from 0.13 to 10 pb, depending on the chosen hypotheses. This is the first search for a neutral spin-1 heavy resonance decaying to a top quark and a vector-like T quark in the all-hadronic final state.Peer reviewe
