In High Energy Physics (HEP), analysis metadata comes in many forms -- from theoretical cross-sections, to calibration corrections, to details about file processing. Correctly applying metadata is a crucial and often time-consuming step in…
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) is a near- and mid-infrared interferometer project with the driving science goal of imaging directly the key stages of planet formation, including the young proto-planets themselves. Here, we will present…
Several important and unique experimental high-energy physics programmes at a variety of facilities are coming to an end, including those at HERA, the B-factories and the Tevatron. The wealth of physics data from these experiments is the…
Accurate estimation and prediction of trajectory is essential for interception of any high speed target. In this paper, an extended Kalman filter is used to estimate the current location of target from its visual information and then…
The goal of the EUDET project is the development and construction of infrastructure to permit detector R&D for the International Linear Collider (ILC) with larger scale prototypes. It encompasses major detector components: the vertex…

We carry out an Effective Field Theory (EFT) study of the $pp \to \bar{t} t Zh$ process in the $4b + 3 \ell + \ge 2j + \slashed{E}_T$ final state. This process can uniquely probe the $\bar{t} t Zh$ couplings arising from higher dimensional…
The first measurements of anti-$k_{T}$ jet energy spectrum and substructure in hadronic $Z$ decays are presented. The archived $e^+e^-$ annihilation data at a center-of-mass energy of 91 GeV were collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP in…
Phase-field simulations are a practical but also expensive tool to calculate microstructural evolution. This work aims to compare explicit time integrators for a broad class of phase-field models involving coupling between the phase-field…
Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) has become widely used for engineering and environmental applications in the last couple of decades due to (1) the simplification and automating of resistivity meters and (2) the new generation of…
High-energy physics experiments face extreme data rates, requiring real-time trigger systems to reduce event throughput while preserving sensitivity to rare processes. Trigger systems are typically constructed as modular chains of…
High precision timing, high rate calorimeters, and radiation resistance are becoming an important issue in particle physics especially in Energy and Intensity Frontiers. We discuss doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO:Ga or GZO; ZnO:X where X is Al, Cu or…
