In this article, we concentrate on the basic physics of relativistic plasma wave accelerators. The generation of relativistic plasma waves by intense lasers or electron beams in low-density plasmas is important in the quest for producing…
Collective behavior widely exists in nature, ranging from the macroscopic cloud of swallows to the microscopic cloud of colloidal particles. The behavior of an individual inside the collective is distinctive from its behavior alone, as it…
A key challenge for the safety of advanced AI systems is the possibility that multiple simpler agents might inadvertently form a collective agent with capabilities and goals distinct from those of any individual. More generally, determining…
We define a new set of observables to probe the structure of the underlying event in hadron collisions. We use the conventional definition of the `transverse region' in jet events and, for a fixed window in jet $p_\perp$, propose to measure…
We calculate the first order maximal acceleration corrections to the classical electrodynamics of a particle in external electromagnetic fields. These include additional dissipation terms, the presence of a critical electric field, a…

This thesis develops the theory of effectuses as a categorical axiomatic approach to quantum theory. It provides a comprehensive introduction to effectus theory and reveals its connections with various other topics and approaches.
Little is known about the physics frontier of strong acceleration; both classical and quantum physics need further development in order to be able to address this newly accessible area of physics. In this lecture we discuss what strong…
We consider a model in which accelerated particles experience line--elements with maximal acceleration corrections that are introduced by means of successive approximations. It is shown that approximations higher than the first need not be…
In this chapter, we review the class of causal effects based on incremental propensity scores interventions proposed by Kennedy [2019]. The aim of incremental propensity score interventions is to estimate the effect of increasing or…
This paper presents the latest trends in the powering of particle accelerators. A series of solutions is proposed for responding to the challenges of high performance machines. This paper covers the domains of magnetic field uncertainty,…
Interest in collective robotic systems has increased rapidly due to the potential benefits that can be offered to operators, such as increased safety and support, who perform challenging tasks in high-risk environments. Human-collective…
A brief overview is given of some recent advances in charged-composite particle scattering. On the theoretical side, I address the three-charged particle wave function asymptotics, the nonperturbative investigation of the long-range…
Composite particles---atoms, molecules, or microspheres---are unique tools for testing joint quantum and general relativistic effects, macroscopic limits of quantum mechanics, and searching for new physics. However, all studies of the free…
This paper discusses the subject of power quality for power converters. The first part gives an overview of most of the common disturbances and power quality issues in electrical networks for particle accelerators, and explains their…
The properties of QCD vacuum and the confinement of quarks and gluons certainly influence the multiparticle production processes. Some phenomenological attempts of the consideration of related collective effects and the possibilities of…
We interpret cooperative scattering by a collection of cold atoms as a multiple scattering process. Starting from microscopic equations describing the response of $N$ atoms to a probe light beam, we represent the total scattered field as an…
Standardization of data formats in a scientific discipline brings a range of benefits to researchers, as it enables the sharing of workflows and solutions to common problems, provides the foundation for generically useful tools that can be…
Interference effects are an important consequence of a correct description in physics theories within and beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. However, many current theoretical descriptions as well as experimental searches…
With the advent of high-level programming languages capable of quickly rendering three-dimensional simulations, the inclusion of computers as a learning tool in the classroom has become more prevalent. Although work has begun to study the…
