Multiple scattering effects on heavy meson production in p+A collisions at backward rapidity
We study the incoherent multiple scattering effects on heavy meson production
in the backward rapidity region of p+A collisions within the generalized
high-twist factorization formalism. We calculate explicitly the double
scattering contributions to the heavy meson differential cross sections by
taking into account both initial-state and final-state interactions, and find
that these corrections are positive. We further evaluate the nuclear
modification factor for muons that come form the semi-leptonic decays of heavy
flavor mesons. Phenomenological applications in d+Au collisions at a
center-of-mass energy GeV at RHIC and in p+Pb collisions at
TeV at the LHC are presented. We find that incoherent multiple
scattering can describe rather well the observed nuclear enhancement in the
intermediate region for such reactions.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, published version in PL
Can Gradient Descent Provably Learn Linear Dynamic Systems?
We study the learning ability of linear recurrent neural networks with
gradient descent. We prove the first theoretical guarantee on linear RNNs with
Gradient Descent to learn any stable linear dynamic system. We show that
despite the non-convexity of the optimization loss if the width of the RNN is
large enough (and the required width in hidden layers does not rely on the
length of the input sequence), a linear RNN can provably learn any stable
linear dynamic system with the sample and time complexity polynomial in
where is roughly the spectral radius of the
stable system. Our results provide the first theoretical guarantee to learn a
linear RNN and demonstrate how can the recurrent structure help to learn a
dynamic system.Comment: 29 page
