Hexapod Coloron at the LHC
Instead of the usual dijet decay, the coloron may mainly decay into its own
"Higgs bosons", which subsequently decay into many jets. This is a general
feature of the renormalizable coloron model, where the corresponding "Higgs
bosons" are a color-octet and a color-singlet . In this paper,
we perform a detailed collider study for the signature of with the
coloron as a six-jet resonance. For a light below around 0.5 TeV,
it may be boosted and behave as a four-prong fat jet. We also develop a
jet-substructure-based search strategy to cover this boosted case.
Independent of whether is boosted or not, the 13 TeV LHC with 100
fb has great discovery potential for a coloron with the mass sensitivity
up to 5 TeV.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figure
Sketch-a-Net that Beats Humans
We propose a multi-scale multi-channel deep neural network framework that,
for the first time, yields sketch recognition performance surpassing that of
humans. Our superior performance is a result of explicitly embedding the unique
characteristics of sketches in our model: (i) a network architecture designed
for sketch rather than natural photo statistics, (ii) a multi-channel
generalisation that encodes sequential ordering in the sketching process, and
(iii) a multi-scale network ensemble with joint Bayesian fusion that accounts
for the different levels of abstraction exhibited in free-hand sketches. We
show that state-of-the-art deep networks specifically engineered for photos of
natural objects fail to perform well on sketch recognition, regardless whether
they are trained using photo or sketch. Our network on the other hand not only
delivers the best performance on the largest human sketch dataset to date, but
also is small in size making efficient training possible using just CPUs.Comment: Accepted to BMVC 2015 (oral
Efficient self protection algorithms for static wireless sensor networks
Abstract—Wireless sensor networks have been widely used in many surveillance applications. Due to the importance of sensor nodes in such applications, certain level of protection needs to be provided to them. We study the self protection problem for static wireless sensor networks in this paper. Self protection problem focuses on using sensor nodes to provide protection to themselves instead of the target objects or certain target area, so that the sensor nodes can resist the attacks targeting on them directly. A wireless sensor network is p-self-protected, if for any wireless sensor there are at least p active sensors that can monitor it. The problem finding minimum p-self-protection is NP-complete and no efficient self protection algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, we provide efficient centralized and distributed algorithms with constant approximation ratio for minimum p-self-protection problem. In addition, we design efficient distributed algorithms to not only achieve p-self-protection but also maintain the connectivity of all active sensors. Our simulation confirms the performances of proposed algorithms. I
Machine learning reconstruction of depth-dependent thermal conductivity profile from frequency-domain thermoreflectance signals
Characterizing materials with spatially varying thermal conductivities is
significant to unveil the structure-property relationship for a wide range of
functional materials, such as chemical-vapor-deposited diamonds, ion-irradiated
materials, nuclear materials under radiation, and battery electrode materials.
Although the development of thermal conductivity microscopy based on
time/frequency-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR/FDTR) enabled in-plane scanning
of thermal conductivity profile, measuring depth-dependent thermal conductivity
remains challenging. This work proposed a machine-learning-based reconstruction
method for extracting depth-dependent thermal conductivity K(z) directly from
frequency-domain phase signals. We demonstrated that the simple
supervised-learning algorithm kernel ridge regression (KRR) can reconstruct
K(z) without requiring pre-knowledge about the functional form of the profile.
The reconstruction method can not only accurately reproduce typical K(z)
distributions such as the pre-assumed exponential profile of
chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) diamonds and Gaussian profile of ion-irradiated
materials, but also complex profiles artificially constructed by superimposing
Gaussian, exponential, polynomial, and logarithmic functions. In addition, the
method also shows excellent performances of reconstructing K(z) of
ion-irradiated semiconductors from Fourier-transformed TDTR signals. This work
demonstrates that combining machine learning with pump-probe thermoreflectance
is an effective way for depth-dependent thermal property mapping
Relativistic symmetry breaking in light kaonic nuclei
As the experimental data from kaonic atoms and scatterings imply
that the -nucleon interaction is strongly attractive at saturation
density, there is a possibility to form -nuclear bound states or kaonic
nuclei. In this work, we investigate the ground-state properties of the light
kaonic nuclei with the relativistic mean field theory. It is found that the
strong attraction between and nucleons reshapes the scalar and vector
meson fields, leading to the remarkable enhancement of the nuclear density in
the interior of light kaonic nuclei and the manifest shift of the
single-nucleon energy spectra and magic numbers therein. As a consequence, the
pseudospin symmetry is shown to be violated together with enlarged spin-orbit
splittings in these kaonic nuclei.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figure
