Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) allows for a way to demonstrate quantum supremacy with the relatively modest experimental resources of squeezed light sources, linear optics, and photon detection. In a realistic experimental setting, numerous…
A method of measuring e+e- annihilation cross sections at low energy sqrt{s}< 5 GeV, using initial-state radiation, is described. Experimental data from the PEP-II B-factory at 10.6 GeV center-of-mass energy, obtained via ISR, are…
Inspired by group-based sparse coding, recently proposed group sparsity residual (GSR) scheme has demonstrated superior performance in image processing. However, one challenge in GSR is to estimate the residual by using a proper reference…
Recent research has shown a weak convergence - convergence in distribution - of particle filtering methods under certain assumptions. However, some applications of particle filtering methods, such as radiation source localization problems,…
Gaussian process regression (GPR) is a useful technique to predict composition--property relationships in glasses as the method inherently provides the standard deviation of the predictions. However, the technique remains restricted to…
In this paper we analyze several strategies for the estimation of the roughness parameter of the $\mathcal G_I^0$ distribution. It has been shown that this distribution is able to characterize a large number of targets in monopolarized SAR…
We examine a sample of detected and undetected Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs), selected on the basis of their energy loss and distance, in order to maximize their detection probability. Since the sample we consider encompasses more upper…
Rapid and reliable detection and identification of unknown chemical substances is critical to homeland security. It is challenging to identify chemical components from a wide range of explosives. There are two key steps involved. One is a…
A search for an invisible particle, $X$, with a mass between 0 and 0.96 $\textrm{GeV}/\textit{c}^{2}$, is performed in the process $J/\psi\rightarrow\phi + X$ using $(8774.0\pm39.4)\times10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII…
Nearly one-third of the gamma-ray sources detected by Fermi are still unidentified, despite significant recent progress in this effort. On the other hand, all the gamma-ray extragalactic sources associated in the second Fermi-LAT catalog…
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has developed over the last few decades into a valuable crystallographic characterisation method for a wide range of sample types. Despite these advances, issues such as the complexity of sample…
We develop a new statistical ideal observer model that performs holistic visual search (or gist) processing in part by placing thresholds on minimum extractable image features. In this model, the ideal observer reduces the number of free…
The GERDA experiment searches for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Ge-76 using high-purity germanium detectors enriched in Ge-76. The analysis of the signal time structure provides a powerful tool to identify neutrinoless double beta…
The radiological characterization of contaminated elements (walls, grounds, objects) from nuclear facilities often suffers from a too small number of measurements. In order to determine risk prediction bounds on the level of contamination,…
