Gap Processing for Adaptive Maximal Poisson-Disk Sampling
In this paper, we study the generation of maximal Poisson-disk sets with
varying radii. First, we present a geometric analysis of gaps in such disk
sets. This analysis is the basis for maximal and adaptive sampling in Euclidean
space and on manifolds. Second, we propose efficient algorithms and data
structures to detect gaps and update gaps when disks are inserted, deleted,
moved, or have their radius changed. We build on the concepts of the regular
triangulation and the power diagram. Third, we will show how our analysis can
make a contribution to the state-of-the-art in surface remeshing.Comment: 16 pages. ACM Transactions on Graphics, 201
Simple non-Abelian extensions of the standard model gauge group and the diboson excesses at the LHC
The ATLAS collaboration reported excesses at around 2 TeV in the di-boson
production decaying into hadronic final states. We consider the possibility of
explaining the excesses with extra gauge bosons in two simple non-Abelian
extensions of the Standard Model. One is the so-called models with a
symmetry structure of and the other is
the models with an extended symmetry of . The and bosons emerge after the electroweak symmetry is
spontaneously broken. Two patterns of symmetry breaking in the models
are considered in this work: one is , the other is . The symmetry breaking of the model is
. We perform a global
analysis of and phenomenology in ten new physics models,
including all the channels of decay. Our study shows that
the leptonic mode and the dijet mode of decays impose a
very stringent bound on the parameter space in several new physics models. Such
tight bounds provide a useful guide for building new physics models to address
on the diboson anomalies. We also note that the Left-Right and Lepton-Phobic
models can explain the excess if the deviation in
the pair around 2~TeV were confirmed to be a fluctuation of the SM
backgrounds.Comment: Publish version; title changed as suggested by journal Edito
Resolving the Degeneracy in Single Higgs Production with Higgs Pair Production
The Higgs boson production can be affected by several anomalous couplings,
e.g. and anomalous couplings. Precise measurement of
production yields two degenerate parameter spaces of and ; one
parameter space exhibits the SM limit while the other does not. Such a
degeneracy could be resolved by Higgs boson pair production. In this work we
adapt the strategy suggested by the ATLAS collaboration to explore the
potential of distinguishing the degeneracy at the 14 TeV LHC. If the
anomalous coupling is induced only by the operator , then the non-SM-like band could be excluded with an integrated luminosity
of . Making use of the fact that the Higgs boson pair
is mainly produced through an -wave scattering, we propose an analytical
function to describe the fraction of signal events surviving a series of
experimental cuts for a given invariant mass of Higgs boson pair. The function
is model independent and can be applied to estimate the discovery potential of
various NP models
Magic wavelengths for the 6s^2\,^1S_0-6s6p\,^3P_1^o transition in ytterbium atom
The static and dynamic electric-dipole polarizabilities of the 6s^2\,^1S_0
and 6s6p\,^3P_1^o states of Yb are calculated by using the relativistic ab
initio method. Focusing on the red detuning region to the
6s^2\,^1S_0-6s6p\,^3P_1^o transition, we find two magic wavelengths at
1035.7(2) nm and 612.9(2) nm for the 6s^2\,^1S_0-6s6p\,^3P_1^o, M_J=0
transition and three magic wavelengthes at 1517.68(6) nm, 1036.0(3) nm and
858(12) nm for the 6s^2\,^1S_0-6s6p\,^3P_1^o, M_J=\pm1 transitions. Such
magic wavelengths are of particular interest for attaining the
state-insensitive cooling, trapping, and quantum manipulation of neutral Yb
atom.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure
Error-Bounded and Feature Preserving Surface Remeshing with Minimal Angle Improvement
The typical goal of surface remeshing consists in finding a mesh that is (1)
geometrically faithful to the original geometry, (2) as coarse as possible to
obtain a low-complexity representation and (3) free of bad elements that would
hamper the desired application. In this paper, we design an algorithm to
address all three optimization goals simultaneously. The user specifies desired
bounds on approximation error {\delta}, minimal interior angle {\theta} and
maximum mesh complexity N (number of vertices). Since such a desired mesh might
not even exist, our optimization framework treats only the approximation error
bound {\delta} as a hard constraint and the other two criteria as optimization
goals. More specifically, we iteratively perform carefully prioritized local
operators, whenever they do not violate the approximation error bound and
improve the mesh otherwise. In this way our optimization framework greedily
searches for the coarsest mesh with minimal interior angle above {\theta} and
approximation error bounded by {\delta}. Fast runtime is enabled by a local
approximation error estimation, while implicit feature preservation is obtained
by specifically designed vertex relocation operators. Experiments show that our
approach delivers high-quality meshes with implicitly preserved features and
better balances between geometric fidelity, mesh complexity and element quality
than the state-of-the-art.Comment: 14 pages, 20 figures. Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Visualization

New Class of Two-Loop Neutrino Mass Models with Distinguishable Phenomenology
We discuss a new class of neutrino mass models generated in two loops, and
explore specifically three new physics scenarios: (A) doubly charged scalar,
(B) dark matter, and (C) leptoquark and diquark, which are verifiable at the 14
TeV LHC Run-II. We point out how the different Higgs insertions will
distinguish our two-loop topology with others if the new particles in the loop
are in the simplest representations of the SM gauge group
