DAFNE induced backgrounds are dominated by Touschek scattering [1]. A luminosity upgrade of the machine at the same beam energy would be obtained essentially by increasing the bunch density, that in principle would increase this particle…
We present a unified elucidation for the role temporal coherence properties of x-rays in surface x-ray standing wave analysis, under total external reflection condition. Analytical formulas have been derived that provide a direct relation…
Time series foundation models (TSFMs) are widely used as generic feature extractors, yet the notion of non-stationarity in their embedding spaces remains poorly understood. Recent work often conflates non-stationarity with distribution…
Risk is a fundamental consideration when designing electronic systems. For most systems a view of risk can assist in setting design objectives, whereas both a qualitative and quantitative understanding of risk is mandatory when considering…
Stochastic control barrier functions (SCBFs) provide a safety-critical control framework for systems subject to stochastic disturbances by bounding the probability of remaining within a safe set. However, synthesizing a valid SCBF that…
A fundamental challenge for wide-field imaging surveys is obtaining follow-up spectroscopic observations: there are > $10^9$ photometrically cataloged sources, yet modern spectroscopic surveys are limited to ~few x $10^6$ targets. As we…
In this review we discuss the progress of the past decade in testing for a possible temporal variation of the fine structure constant $\alpha$. Advances in atomic sample preparation, laser spectroscopy and optical frequency measurements led…
Coupled Tchebyscheff maps have recently been introduced to explain parameters in the standard model of particle physics, using the stochastic quantisation of Parisi and Wu. This paper studies dynamical properties of these maps, finding…

This paper studies sensor placement when detection performance varies stochastically due to environmental factors over space and time and false alarms are present, but a filter is used to attenuate the effect. We introduce a unified model…
Time of flight system (TOF) based on MRPC technology is widely used in modern physics experiments, and it also plays an important role in particle identification. With the increase of accelerator energy and luminosity, TOF system is…
It is often difficult for a phased mission system (PMS) to be highly reliable, because this entails achieving high reliability in every phase of operation. Consequently, reliability analysis of such systems is of critical importance.…
State space subspace algorithms for input-output systems have been widely applied but also have a reasonably well-developedasymptotic theory dealing with consistency. However, guaranteeing the stability of the estimated system matrix is a…
Till today, although the Standard Model (SM) is the most celebrated theory that explains nature almost completely, there are still some phenomena observed in nature that the SM cannot explain. That is why it is needed to look for theories…
The spectral form factor (SFF) is an important diagnostic of energy level repulsion in random matrix theory (RMT) and quantum chaos. The short-time behavior of the SFF as it approaches the RMT result acts as a diagnostic of the ergodicity…
A fundamental limit to the stability of a single-ion optical frequency standard is set by quantum noise in the measurement of the internal state of the ion. We discuss how the interrogation sequence and the processing of the atomic…
In this paper, we examine dynamic properties of particle flows for a recently derived parameterized family of stochastic particle flow filters for nonlinear filtering and Bayesian inference. In particular, we establish that particles…
The performance of a particle filter (PF) in nonlinear and non-Gaussian environments is often affected by particle degeneracy and impoverishment problems. In this paper, these two problems are re-assessed using the concepts of importance…
