Goodness-of-fit tests in many dimensions
2004
A method is presented to construct goodness-of-fit statistics in many dimensions for which the distribution of all possible test results in the limit of an infinite number of data becomes Gaussian if also the number of dimensions becomes infinite. Furthermore, an explicit example is presented, for which this distribution as good as only depends on the expectation value and the variance of the statistic for any dimension larger than one.
Total-variation-based methods for gravitational wave denoising
2014
We describe new methods for denoising and detection of gravitational waves embedded in additive Gaussian noise. The methods are based on Total Variation denoising algorithms. These algorithms, which do not need any a priori information about the signals, have been originally developed and fully tested in the context of image processing. To illustrate the capabilities of our methods we apply them to two different types of numerically-simulated gravitational wave signals, namely bursts produced from the core collapse of rotating stars and waveforms from binary black hole mergers. We explore the parameter space of the methods to find the set of values best suited for denoising gravitational wa…
Nonperturbative effective model for the Higgs sector of the standard model
2010
A nonperturbative effective model is derived for the Higgs sector of the Standard Model which is described by a simple scalar theory. The renormalized couplings are determined by the derivatives of the Gaussian effective potential that are known to be the sum of infinite bubble graphs contributing to the vertex functions. A good agreement has been found with strong coupling lattice simulations when a comparison can be made.
Multigluon correlations in JIMWLK
2012
We discuss applications of the JIMWLK renormalization group equation to multigluon correlations in high energy collisions. This includes recent progress in computing the energy dependence of higher point Wilson line correlators from the JIMWLK renormalization group equation. We find that the large Nc approximation used so far in the phenomenological literature is not very accurate. On the other hand a Gaussian finite Nc approximation is surprisingly close to the full result. We also discuss correlations at large rapidity separations, relevant for the "ridge" correlations observed in experiments.
Charge-state dynamics of 1.4- and 11-MeV/u uranium ions penetrating H2 and He gas targets
2018
Abstract Theoretical description and interpretation are presented of the recent experimental data on stripping of fast 238U ions, penetrating H2 and He gaseous targets: obtained in GSI, Darmstadt, Germany at 1.4 MeV/u with a H2 stripper, and in RIKEN, Saitama, Japan at 11 MeV/u with H2 and He strippers. Electron-loss and capture cross sections for uranium ions, interacting with H2 and He targets are calculated and used as input data in the BREIT code to obtain dynamic characteristics of uranium-ion beams: non-equilibrium and equilibrium charge-state fractions, mean and equilibrium charges, and equilibrium thicknesses. Special attention is paid for the calculation of the dynamic characterist…
Effect of the non-gaussianity on the measurement error for the filtered 1/f noise intensity
1999
To study the nature of the 1/f noise phenomenon in conductors, we seek a tool for testing different hypotheses of 1/f noise origin. The method analyzing the noise intensity at the output of a bandpass filter is discussed for the case of non-Gaussian processes. Data on measurement error are presented for the 1/f noise intensity in GaAs films and the Gaussian white noise emulated by a computer. A numerical model of 1/f noise as the superposition of telegraph random processes has been created. This method requires further improvement to check the noise for stationarity. Some ideas of how to do that are proposed.
RPA calculations with Gaussian expansion method
2009
The Gaussian expansion method (GEM) is extensively applied to the calculations in the random-phase approximation (RPA). We adopt the mass-independent basis-set that has been tested in the mean-field calculations. By comparing the RPA results with those obtained by several other available methods for Ca isotopes, using a density-dependent contact interaction and the Woods-Saxon single-particle states, we confirm that energies, transition strengths and widths of their distribution are described by the GEM bases to good precision, for the $1^-$, $2^+$ and $3^-$ collective states. The GEM is then applied to the self-consistent RPA calculations with the finite-range Gogny D1S interaction. The sp…
Quadrupole collective inertia in nuclear fission: Cranking approximation
2010
Collective mass tensor derived from the cranking approximation to the adiabatic time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (ATDHFB) approach is compared with that obtained in the Gaussian Overlap Approximation (GOA) to the generator coordinate method. Illustrative calculations are carried out for one-dimensional quadrupole fission pathways in 256Fm. It is shown that the collective mass exhibits strong variations with the quadrupole collective coordinate. These variations are related to the changes in the intrinsic shell structure. The differences between collective inertia obtained in cranking and perturbative cranking approximations to ATDHFB, and within GOA, are discussed.
Forward dihadron correlations in the Gaussian approximation of JIMWLK
2012
We compute forward dihadron azimuthal correlations in deuteron-gold collisions using a Gaussian approximation for the quadrupole operator. The double parton scattering contribution is found to be part of our dihadron calculation. We obtain a good description of the PHENIX data for the azimuthal-angle dependent away side peak and a relatively good estimate for the pedestal contribution.
A BeppoSAX study of the Galactic Z-source GX 340+0
2004
Abstract We present the results of a BeppoSAX broad band (0.1–200 keV) observation of the Z-source GX 340+0. The 1.8–30 keV continuum is well described by a blackbody ( kT BB ∼0.5 keV) plus a Comptonized component with seed photons temperature ∼ 1 keV and electron temperature ∼ 3 keV. A hard tail dominates the spectrum above 30 keV. It can be fitted using a bremsstrahlung component or, equivalently, a powerlaw (with a low-energy cutoff). We detect also a Gaussian line at ∼6.8 keV and an absorption edge at ∼9.2 keV. A low-energy (∼1 keV) unresolved feature needs further investigations.
