A Hybrid Neural Network Framework and Application to Radar Automatic Target Recognition
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have found applications in diverse signal
processing (SP) problems. Most efforts either directly adopt the DNN as a
black-box approach to perform certain SP tasks without taking into account of
any known properties of the signal models, or insert a pre-defined SP operator
into a DNN as an add-on data processing stage. This paper presents a novel
hybrid-NN framework in which one or more SP layers are inserted into the DNN
architecture in a coherent manner to enhance the network capability and
efficiency in feature extraction. These SP layers are properly designed to make
good use of the available models and properties of the data. The network
training algorithm of hybrid-NN is designed to actively involve the SP layers
in the learning goal, by simultaneously optimizing both the weights of the DNN
and the unknown tuning parameters of the SP operators. The proposed hybrid-NN
is tested on a radar automatic target recognition (ATR) problem. It achieves
high validation accuracy of 96\% with 5,000 training images in radar ATR.
Compared with ordinary DNN, hybrid-NN can markedly reduce the required amount
of training data and improve the learning performance
Branching Fractions and CP Asymmetries of the Quasi-Two-Body Decays in within PQCD Approach
Motivated by the first untagged decay-time-integrated amplitude analysis of
decays performed by LHCb collaboration, where the
decay amplitudes are modeled to contain the resonant contributions from
intermediate resonances , and , we
comprehensively investigate the quasi-two-body decays, and calculate the branching fractions and
the time-dependent asymmetries within the perturbative QCD approach based
on the factorization. In the quasi-two-body space region the calculated
branching fractions with the considered intermediate resonances are in good
agreement with the experimental results of LHCb by adopting proper pair
wave function, describing the interaction between the kaon and pion in the
pair. Furthermore,within the obtained branching fractions of the
quasi-two-body decays, we also calculate the branching fractions of
corresponding two-body decays, and the results consist with the LHCb
measurements and the earlier studies with errors. For these considered decays,
since the final states are not flavour-specific, the time-dependent could
be measured. We calculate six -violation observables, which can be tested
in the ongoing LHCb experiment.Comment: 20 page
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa-favored decays to a scalar meson and a meson
Within the perturbative QCD approach, we investigated the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa-favored ("" denoting the
scalar meson) decays on the basis of the two-quark picture. Supposing the
scalar mesons are the ground states or the first excited states, we calculated
the the branching ratios of 72 decay modes. Most of the branching ratios are in
the range to , which can be tested in the ongoing LHCb
experiment and the forthcoming Belle-II experiment. Some decays, such as and , could be used to probe the inner structure and the character
of the scalar mesons, if the experiments are available. In addition, the ratios
between the and provide a potential way to determine the mixing
angle between and . Moreover, since in the standard model
these decays occur only through tree operators and have no asymmetries,
any deviation will be signal of the new physics beyond the standard model.Comment: 2 figures, 6 table
