Manifestation of important role of nuclear forces in emission of photons in scattering of pions off nuclei
Bremsstrahlung of photons emitted during the scattering of -mesons
off nuclei is studied for the first time. Role of interactions between
-mesons and nuclei in the formation of the bremsstrahlung emission is
analyzed in details. We discover essential contribution of emitted photons from
nuclear part of Johnson-Satchler potential to the full spectrum, in contrast to
the optical Woods-Saxon potential. We observe unusual essential influence of
the nuclear part of both potentials on the spectrum at high photon energies.
This phenomenon opens a new experimental way to study and check non-Coulomb and
nuclear interactions between pions and nuclei via measurements of the emitted
photons. We provide predictions of the bremsstrahlung spectra for pion
scattering off .Comment: 14 pages, 3 figure
Dynamics of opinion formation in a small-world network
The dynamical process of opinion formation within a model using a local
majority opinion updating rule is studied numerically in networks with the
small-world geometrical property. The network is one in which shortcuts are
added to randomly chosen pairs of nodes in an underlying regular lattice. The
presence of a small number of shortcuts is found to shorten the time to reach a
consensus significantly. The effects of having shortcuts in a lattice of fixed
spatial dimension are shown to be analogous to that of increasing the spatial
dimension in regular lattices. The shortening of the consensus time is shown to
be related to the shortening of the mean shortest path as shortcuts are added.
Results can also be translated into that of the dynamics of a spin system in a
small-world network.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
Using Machine Learning for Handover Optimization in Vehicular Fog Computing
Smart mobility management would be an important prerequisite for future fog
computing systems. In this research, we propose a learning-based handover
optimization for the Internet of Vehicles that would assist the smooth
transition of device connections and offloaded tasks between fog nodes. To
accomplish this, we make use of machine learning algorithms to learn from
vehicle interactions with fog nodes. Our approach uses a three-layer
feed-forward neural network to predict the correct fog node at a given location
and time with 99.2 % accuracy on a test set. We also implement a dual stacked
recurrent neural network (RNN) with long short-term memory (LSTM) cells capable
of learning the latency, or cost, associated with these service requests. We
create a simulation in JAMScript using a dataset of real-world vehicle
movements to create a dataset to train these networks. We further propose the
use of this predictive system in a smarter request routing mechanism to
minimize the service interruption during handovers between fog nodes and to
anticipate areas of low coverage through a series of experiments and test the
models' performance on a test set
Real photons produced from photoproduction in collisions
We calculate the production of real photons originating from the
photoproduction in relativistic collisions. The
Weizscker-Williams approximation in the photoproduction is
considered. Numerical results agree with the experimental data from
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We find
that the modification of the photoproduction is more prominent in large
transverse momentum region.Comment: 2 figure
