The bi-Hamiltonian theory of the Harry Dym equation
2002
We describe how the Harry Dym equation fits into the the bi-Hamiltonian formalism for the Korteweg-de Vries equation and other soliton equations. This is achieved using a certain Poisson pencil constructed from two compatible Poisson structures. We obtain an analogue of the Kadomtsev-Petviashivili hierarchy whose reduction leads to the Harry Dym hierarchy. We call such a system the HD-KP hierarchy. We then construct an infinite system of ordinary differential equations (in infinitely many variables) that is equivalent to the HD-KP hierarchy. Its role is analogous to the role of the Central System in the Kadomtsev-Petviashivili hierarchy.
A computational method for the Helmholtz equation in unbounded domains based on the minimization of an integral functional
2012
Abstract We study a new approach to the problem of transparent boundary conditions for the Helmholtz equation in unbounded domains. Our approach is based on the minimization of an integral functional arising from a volume integral formulation of the radiation condition. The index of refraction does not need to be constant at infinity and may have some angular dependency as well as perturbations. We prove analytical results on the convergence of the approximate solution. Numerical examples for different shapes of the artificial boundary and for non-constant indexes of refraction will be presented.
Kirkwood–Buff integrals of finite systems
2018
The Kirkwood–Buff (KB) theory provides an important connection between microscopic density fluctuations in liquids and macroscopic properties. Recently, Krüger et al. derived equations for KB integrals for finite subvolumes embedded in a reservoir. Using molecular simulation of finite systems, KB integrals can be computed either from density fluctuations inside such subvolumes, or from integrals of radial distribution functions (RDFs). Here, based on the second approach, we establish a framework to compute KB integrals for subvolumes with arbitrary convex shapes. This requires a geometric function w(x) which depends on the shape of the subvolume, and the relative position inside the subvolu…
Efficient numerical integration of neutrino oscillations in matter
2016
A special purpose solver, based on the Magnus expansion, well suited for the integration of the linear three neutrino oscillations equations in matter is proposed. The computations are speeded up to two orders of magnitude with respect to a general numerical integrator, a fact that could smooth the way for massive numerical integration concomitant with experimental data analyses. Detailed illustrations about numerical procedure and computer time costs are provided.
Discussion on triangle singularities in the Λb→J/ψK−p reaction
2016
We have analyzed the singularities of a triangle loop integral in detail and derived a formula for an easy evaluation of the triangle singularity on the physical boundary. It is applied to the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{b}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}p$ process via ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}^{*}$-charmonium-proton intermediate states. Although the evaluation of absolute rates is not possible, we identify the ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c1}$ and the $\ensuremath{\psi}(2S)$ as the relatively most relevant states among all possible charmonia up to the $\ensuremath{\psi}(2S)$. The $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(1890){\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c1}p$ loop is ver…
The electron self-energy in QED at two loops revisited
2018
We reconsider the two-loop electron self-energy in quantum electrodynamics. We present a modern calculation, where all relevant two-loop integrals are expressed in terms of iterated integrals of modular forms. As boundary points of the iterated integrals we consider the four cases $p^2=0$, $p^2=m^2$, $p^2=9m^2$ and $p^2=\infty$. The iterated integrals have $q$-expansions, which can be used for the numerical evaluation. We show that a truncation of the $q$-series to order ${\mathcal O}(q^{30})$ gives numerically for the finite part of the self-energy a relative precision better than $10^{-20}$ for all real values $p^2/m^2$.
Numerical integration of subtraction terms
2016
Numerical approaches to higher-order calculations often employ subtraction terms, both for the real emission and the virtual corrections. These subtraction terms have to be added back. In this paper we show that at NLO the real subtraction terms, the virtual subtraction terms, the integral representations of the field renormalisation constants and -- in the case of initial-state partons -- the integral representation for the collinear counterterm can be grouped together to give finite integrals, which can be evaluated numerically. This is useful for an extension towards NNLO.
Temporal Soliton “Molecules” in Mode-Locked Lasers: Collisions, Pulsations, and Vibrations
2008
A few years after the discovery of the stable dissipative soliton pairs in passively mode-locked lasers, a large variety of multi-soliton complexes were studied in both experiments and numerical simulations, revealing interesting new behaviors. This chapter focuses on the following three subjects: collisions between dissipative solitons, pulsations of dissipative solitons, and vibrations of soliton pairs. Different outcomes of collisions between a soliton pair and a soliton singlet are discussed, showing possible experimental control in the formation or dissociation of ‘soliton molecules’. Long-period pulsations of single and multiple dissipative solitons are presented as limit cycles and o…
MALTA: a CMOS pixel sensor with asynchronous readout for the ATLAS High-Luminosity upgrade
2018
Radiation hard silicon sensors are required for the upgrade of the ATLAS tracking detector for the High- Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN. A process modification in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS imaging technology combines small, low-capacitance electrodes (∼2 fF for the sensor) with a fully depleted active sensor volume. This results in a radiation hardness promising to meet the requirements of the ATLAS ITk outer pixel layers (1.5 × 1015 neq /cm2 ), and allows to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio and fast signal response, as required by the HL-LHC 25 ns bunch crossing structure. The radiation hardness of the charge collection to Non-Ionizing Energy Loss (NIEL) has been previ…
Spectral incoherent solitons
2009
Solitons have been usually considered as inherently coherent localized structures and the discovery of incoherent optical solitons has represented a significant progress [1]. As occurs for standard coherent solitons, incoherent solitons are characterized by a confinement of the field in the spatial or in the temporal domain. We introduce here a novel type of incoherent solitons that are neither spatial nor temporal, i.e., the incoherent field does not exhibit any confinement in the spatiotemporal domain; however, the uncorrelated frequency components that constitute the incoherent field exhibit a localized soliton behavior in the frequency domain [2].
