The Muon Collider Study (MuC) covers the accelerator complex, detectors and physics for a future muon collider. In 2023, European Commission support was obtained for a design study of a muon collider (MuCol) [3]. This project started on 1st March 2023, with work-packages aligned with the overall muon collider studies. In preparation of and during the 2021-22 U.S. Snowmass process, the muon collider project parameters, technical studies and physics performance studies were performed and presented in great detail. Recently, the P5 panel [4] in the U.S. recommended a muon collider R&D, proposed to join the IMCC and envisages that the U.S. should prepare to host a muon collider, calling this their "muon shot". In the past, the U.S. Muon Accelerator Programme (MAP) [5] has been instrumental in studies of concepts and technologies for a muon collider. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.12450v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.12450v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 17 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">This document summarises the International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC) progress and status of the Muon Collider R&D programme</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.06355">arXiv:2303.06355</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.06355">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2303.06355">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/18/07/C07001">10.1088/1748-0221/18/07/C07001 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Production and characterization of random electrode sectorization in GEM foils </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pellecchia%2C+A">Antonello Pellecchia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bianco%2C+M">Michele Bianco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=De+Oliveira%2C+R">Rui De Oliveira</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fallavollita%2C+F">Francesco Fallavollita</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fiorina%2C+D">Davide Fiorina</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Rosi%2C+N">Nicole Rosi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Verwilligen%2C+P">Piet Verwilligen</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2303.06355v4-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> In triple-GEM detectors, the segmentation of GEM foils in electrically independent sectors allows reducing the probability of discharge damage to the detector and improving the detector rate capability; however, a segmented foil presents thin dead regions in the separation between two sectors and the segmentation pattern has to be manually aligned with the GEM hole pattern during the foil manufact… <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2303.06355v4-abstract-full').style.display = 'inline'; document.getElementById('2303.06355v4-abstract-short').style.display = 'none';">▽ More</a> </span> <span class="abstract-full has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2303.06355v4-abstract-full" style="display: none;"> In triple-GEM detectors, the segmentation of GEM foils in electrically independent sectors allows reducing the probability of discharge damage to the detector and improving the detector rate capability; however, a segmented foil presents thin dead regions in the separation between two sectors and the segmentation pattern has to be manually aligned with the GEM hole pattern during the foil manufacturing, a procedure potentially sensitive to errors. We describe the production and characterization of triple-GEM detectors produced with an innovative GEM foil segmentation technique, the ``random hole segmentation'', that allows an easier manufacturing of segmented GEM foils. The electrical stability to high voltage and the gain uniformity of a random-hole segmented triple-GEM prototype are measured. The results of a test beam on a prototype assembled for the Phase-2 GEM upgrade of the CMS experiment are also presented; a high-statistics efficiency measurement shows that the random hole segmentation can limit the efficiency loss of the detector in the areas between two sectors, making it a viable alternative to blank segmentation for the GEM foil manufacturing of large-area detector systems. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2303.06355v4-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2303.06355v4-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 26 May, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 11 March, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.08492">arXiv:2205.08492</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.08492">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2205.08492">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Medical Physics">physics.med-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Signal Processing">eess.SP</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Design and Manufacture of Flexible Epidermal NFC Device for Electrochemical Sensing of Sweat </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Barba%2C+A+B">Adina Bianca Barba</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bianco%2C+G+M">Giulio Maria Bianco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fiore%2C+L">Luca Fiore</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Arduini%2C+F">Fabiana Arduini</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Marrocco%2C+G">Gaetano Marrocco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Occhiuzzi%2C+C">Cecilia Occhiuzzi</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2205.08492v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Flexible and epidermal sensing devices are becoming vital to enable precision medicine and telemonitoring systems.

The NFC (Near Field Communication) protocol is also becoming increasingly important for this application since it is embedded in most smartphones that can be used as pervasive and low-cost readers. Furthermore, the responder can be passive and can harvest enough power to perform electromagnetic sensing. Finally, the NFC coils are robust to bending and to the human body's presence. This contribution details the design of a new flexible device, including an electrochemical sensor communicating through the NFC protocol. A spiral NFC antenna is designed, and a manufactured prototype is experimentally tested to quantify the robustness to the inter-wearer variability and the bending. Lastly, the sensory data retrieval is validated by comparison with a portable potentiostat. The realized sensor can be comfortably worn and be easily read by smartphones independently from the wearer and from the point of application and could be used in future for estimating the user's psycho-physical health by analyzing the body's sweat. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2205.08492v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2205.08492v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 15 May, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Accepted for presentation at the 2022 IEEE international conference on Flexible, Printable Sensors and Systems</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.12037">arXiv:2203.12037</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.12037">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2203.12037">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2022.166716">10.1016/j.nima.2022.166716 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Quality Control of Mass-Produced GEM Detectors for the CMS GE1/1 Muon Upgrade </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Abbas%2C+M">M.

However, the accelerator upgrades will also make the experimental conditions more challenging, with implications for detector operations, triggering, and data analysis. The luminosity of the proton-proton collisions is expected to exceed $2-3\times10^{34}$~cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ for Run 3 (starting in 2022), and it will be at least $5\times10^{34}$~cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ when the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider is completed for Run 4. These conditions will affect muon triggering, identification, and measurement, which are critical capabilities of the experiment. To address these challenges, additional muon detectors are being installed in the CMS endcaps, based on Gas Electron Multiplier technology. For this purpose, 161 large triple-Gas Electron Multiplier detectors have been constructed and tested. Installation of these devices began in 2019 with the GE1/1 station and will be followed by two additional stations, GE2/1 and ME0, to be installed in 2023 and 2026, respectively. The assembly and quality control of the GE1/1 detectors were distributed across several production sites around the world. We motivate and discuss the quality control procedures that were developed to standardize the performance of the detectors, and we present the final results of the production. Out of 161 detectors produced, 156 detectors passed all tests, and 144 detectors are now installed in the CMS experiment. The various visual inspections, gas tightness tests, intrinsic noise rate characterizations, and effective gas gain and response uniformity tests allowed the project to achieve this high success rate. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2203.12037v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2203.12037v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">45 pages, 39 figures, submitted to Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.06525">arXiv:2203.06525</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.06525">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2203.06525">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> MPGDs for tracking and Muon detection at future high energy physics colliders </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Black%2C+K">K.

Large size, cost-effective, high-efficiency detection systems in high background environments are required in order to accomplish the physics program. MPGDs offer a diversity of technologies that allow them to meet the required performance challenges at future facilities thanks to the specific advantages that each technology provides. MPGDs allow stable operation, with environmentally friendly gas mixtures, at very high background particle flux with high detection efficiency and excellent spatial resolution. These features make MPGD one of the primary choices as precise muon tracking and trigger system in general-purpose detectors at future HEP colliders. In addition, the low material budget and the flexibility of the base material make MPGDs suitable for the development of very light, full cylindrical fine tracking inner trackers at lepton colliders. On-going R&Ds aim at pushing the detector performance at the limits of each technology. We are working in continuing to consolidate the construction and stable operation of large-size detectors, able to cope with large particle fluxes. In this white paper, we describe some of the most prominent MPGD technologies, their performance measurements, the challenges faced in the most recent applications, and the areas of improvement towards efficient tracking and Muon detection at future high energy physics colliders. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2203.06525v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2203.06525v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 12 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Contribution to Snowmass 2021</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.09021">arXiv:2201.09021</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.09021">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2201.09021">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Rate capability of large-area triple-GEM detectors and new foil design for the innermost station, ME0, of the CMS endcap muon system </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bianco%2C+M">Michele Bianco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fallavollita%2C+F">Francesco Fallavollita</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fiorina%2C+D">Davide Fiorina</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pellecchia%2C+A">Antonello Pellecchia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Garcia%2C+L+F+R">Luis Felipe Ramirez Garcia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Rosi%2C+N">Nicole Rosi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Verwilligen%2C+P">Piet Verwilligen</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2201.09021v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> To extend the acceptance of the CMS muon spectrometer to the region 2.4 $<|畏|<$ 2.8, stacks of triple-GEM chambers, forming the ME0 station, are planned for the CMS Phase 2 Upgrade.

These large-area micro-pattern gaseous detectors must operate in a challenging environment with expected background particle fluxes up to 150 kHz/cm$^2$. Unlike traditional non-resistive gaseous detectors, the rate capability of such triple-GEM detectors is limited not by space charge effects, but by voltage drops on the chamber electrodes due to avalanche-induced currents flowing through the resistive protection circuits (introduced as discharge quenchers). We present a study of the irradiation of large-area triple-GEM detectors with moderate fluxes to obtain a high integrated hit rate. The results show drops as high as 40% of the nominal detector gas gain, which would result in severe loss of tracking efficiency. We discuss possible mitigation strategies leading to a new design for the GEM foils with electrode segmentation in the radial direction, instead of the "traditional" transverse segmentation. The advantages of the new design include uniform hit rate across different sectors, minimization of gain-loss without the need for voltage compensation, and independence of detector gain on background flux shape. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2201.09021v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2201.09021v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 January, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2022. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.09364">arXiv:2107.09364</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.09364">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2107.09364">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/16/11/P11014">10.1088/1748-0221/16/11/P11014 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Performance of a Triple-GEM Demonstrator in $pp$ Collisions at the CMS Detector </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Abbas%2C+M">M.

To improve both the tracking and triggering of muons, the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaboration plans to install triple-layer Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors in the CMS muon endcaps. Demonstrator GEM detectors were installed in CMS during 2017 to gain operational experience and perform a preliminary investigation of detector performance. We present the results of triple-GEM detector performance studies performed in situ during normal CMS and LHC operations in 2018. The distribution of cluster size and the efficiency to reconstruct high $p_T$ muons in proton--proton collisions are presented as well as the measurement of the environmental background rate to produce hits in the GEM detector. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2107.09364v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2107.09364v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 September, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 20 July, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">10 pages, 5 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03621">arXiv:2107.03621</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.03621">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2107.03621">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/16/12/P12026">10.1088/1748-0221/16/12/P12026 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Modeling the triple-GEM detector response to background particles for the CMS Experiment </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Abbas%2C+M">M.

The hit rate is measured using data collected with proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV and a luminosity of 1.5$\times10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. The simulation framework uses a combination of the FLUKA and Geant4 packages to obtain the hit rate. FLUKA provides the radiation environment around the GE1/1 chambers, which is comprised of the particle flux with momentum direction and energy spectra ranging from $10^{-11}$ to $10^{4}$ MeV for neutrons, $10^{-3}$ to $10^{4}$ MeV for $纬$'s, $10^{-2}$ to $10^{4}$ MeV for $e^{\pm}$, and $10^{-1}$ to $10^{4}$ MeV for charged hadrons. Geant4 provides an estimate of detector response (sensitivity) based on an accurate description of detector geometry, material composition and interaction of particles with the various detector layers. The MC simulated hit rate is estimated as a function of the perpendicular distance from the beam line and agrees with data within the assigned uncertainties of 10-14.5%. This simulation framework can be used to obtain a reliable estimate of background rates expected at the High Luminosity LHC. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2107.03621v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2107.03621v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 8 July, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">16 pages, 9 figures, 6 tables</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.09505">arXiv:2009.09505</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.09505">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2009.09505">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/15/12/P12019">10.1088/1748-0221/15/12/P12019 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Interstrip Capacitances of the Readout Board used in Large Triple-GEM Detectors for the CMS Muon Upgrade </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Abbas%2C+M">M.

The main goal of the study is to find configurations that minimize the interstrip capacitances and consequently maximize the signal-to-noise ratio for the detector. We find agreement at the 1.5--4.8% level between the two methods of calculations and on the average at the 17% level between calculations and measurements. A configuration with halved strip lengths and doubled strip widths results in a measured 27--29% reduction over the original configuration while leaving the total number of strips unchanged. We have now adopted this design modification for all eight module types of the GE2/1 detector and will produce the final detector with this new strip design. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2009.09505v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2009.09505v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 20 September, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">22 pages, 14 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> 2020 JINST 15 P12019 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.08555">arXiv:2005.08555</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.08555">pdf</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2019.123572">10.1016/j.cej.2019.123572 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Mixing enhancement induced by viscoelastic micromotors in microfluidic platform </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Zizzari%2C+A">Alessandra Zizzari</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Cesaria%2C+M">Maura Cesaria</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bianco%2C+M">Monica Bianco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=del+Mercato%2C+L+L">Loretta L. del Mercato</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Carraro%2C+M">Mauro Carraro</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bonchio%2C+M">Marcella Bonchio</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Rella%2C+R">Roberto Rella</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Arima%2C+V">Valentina Arima</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2005.08555v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Fine manipulation of fluid flows at the microscale has a tremendous impact on mass transport phenomena of chemical and biological processes inside microfluidic platforms.

Fluid mixing in the laminar flow regime at low Reynolds is poorly effective due to the inherently slow diffusive mechanism. As a strategy to enhance mixing and prompt mass transport, here, we focus on polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PMCs) embodying a catalytic polyoxometalate as microobjects to create elastic turbulence and as micromotors to generate chaotic flows by fuel-fed propulsions. The effects of the elastic turbolence and of the artificial propulsion on some basic flow parameters, such as pressure and volumetric flow rate are studied by a microfluidic set-up including pressure and flow sensors. Numerical-handling and physical models of the experimental data are presented and discussed to explain the measured dependence of the pressure drop on the flow rate in presence of the PMCs. As a practical outcome of the study, a strong decrease of the mixing time in a serpentine microreactor is demonstrated. Unlike our previous reports dealing with capillarity flow studies, the present paper relies on hydrodynamic pumping experiments, that allows us to both develop a theoretical model for the understanding of the involved phenomena and demonstrate a successfully microfluidic mixing application. All of this is relevant in the perspective of developing microobject based methods to overcome microscale processes purely dominated by diffusion with potential improvements of mass trasport in microfluidic platforms. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2005.08555v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2005.08555v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 May, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">In Press, Corrected Proof</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Chemical Engineering Journal, Available online 20 November 2019, 123572 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.02884">arXiv:2005.02884</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.02884">pdf</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.395187">10.1364/OE.395187 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Feedback-assisted Femtosecond Pulsed Laser Ablation of Non-Planar Metal Surfaces: Fabrication of Optical Apertures on Tapered Fibers for Optical Neural Interfaces </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Balena%2C+A">Antonio Balena</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bianco%2C+M">Marco Bianco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pisano%2C+F">Filippo Pisano</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pisanello%2C+M">Marco Pisanello</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Sileo%2C+L">Leonardo Sileo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Sabatini%2C+B">Bernardo Sabatini</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=De+Vittorio%2C+M">Massimo De Vittorio</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pisanello%2C+F">Ferruccio Pisanello</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2005.02884v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> We propose a feedback-assisted direct laser writing method to perform laser ablation of fiber optics devices in which their light-collection signal is used to optimize their properties.

A femtosecond-pulsed laser beam is used to ablate a metal coating deposited around a tapered optical fiber, employed to show the suitability of the approach to pattern devices with small radius of curvature. During processing, the same pulses generate two-photon fluorescence in the surrounding environment and the signal is monitored to identify different patterning regimes over time through spectral analysis. The employed fs beam mostly interacts with the metal coating, leaving almost intact the underlying silica and enabling fluorescence to couple with a specific subset of guided modes, as verified by far-field analysis. Although the method is described here for tapered optical fibers used to obtain efficient light collection in the field of optical neural interfaces, it can be easily extended to other waveguides-based devices and represents a general approach to support the implementation closed-loop laser ablation system of fiber optics. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2005.02884v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2005.02884v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 20 April, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">15 pages, 5 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.04418">arXiv:1905.04418</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.04418">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1905.04418">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Signal Processing">eess.SP</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Sound">cs.SD</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Audio and Speech Processing">eess.AS</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1121/1.5133944">10.1121/1.5133944 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Machine learning in acoustics: theory and applications </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bianco%2C+M+J">Michael J.

We survey the recent advances and transformative potential of machine learning (ML), including deep learning, in the field of acoustics. ML is a broad family of techniques, which are often based in statistics, for automatically detecting and utilizing patterns in data. Relative to conventional acoustics and signal processing, ML is data-driven. Given sufficient training data, ML can discover complex relationships between features and desired labels or actions, or between features themselves. With large volumes of training data, ML can discover models describing complex acoustic phenomena such as human speech and reverberation. ML in acoustics is rapidly developing with compelling results and significant future promise. We first introduce ML, then highlight ML developments in four acoustics research areas: source localization in speech processing, source localization in ocean acoustics, bioacoustics, and environmental sounds in everyday scenes. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1905.04418v4-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1905.04418v4-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 1 December, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 10 May, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Published with free access in Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 27 Nov. 2019</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 146(5) pp.3590--3628, 2019 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.08655">arXiv:1712.08655</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.08655">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1712.08655">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Geophysics">physics.geo-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Image and Video Processing">eess.IV</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">stat.ML</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Travel time tomography with adaptive dictionaries </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bianco%2C+M">Michael Bianco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Gerstoft%2C+P">Peter Gerstoft</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="1712.08655v3-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> We develop a 2D travel time tomography method which regularizes the inversion by modeling groups of slowness pixels from discrete slowness maps, called patches, as sparse linear combinations of atoms from a dictionary.

We propose to use dictionary learning during the inversion to adapt dictionaries to specific slowness maps. This patch regularization, called the local model, is integrated into the overall slowness map, called the global model. The local model considers small-scale variations using a sparsity constraint and the global model considers larger-scale features constrained using $\ell_2$ regularization. This strategy in a locally-sparse travel time tomography (LST) approach enables simultaneous modeling of smooth and discontinuous slowness features. This is in contrast to conventional tomography methods, which constrain models to be exclusively smooth or discontinuous. We develop a $\textit{maximum a posteriori}$ formulation for LST and exploit the sparsity of slowness patches using dictionary learning. The LST approach compares favorably with smoothness and total variation regularization methods on densely, but irregularly sampled synthetic slowness maps. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1712.08655v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1712.08655v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 16 May, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 15 December, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2017. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging (1st revision)</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.04840">arXiv:1609.04840</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.04840">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1609.04840">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics">physics.ao-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Information Theory">cs.IT</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability">physics.data-an</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Geophysics">physics.geo-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4969490">10.1121/1.4969490 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Dictionary learning of sound speed profiles </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bianco%2C+M">Michael Bianco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Gerstoft%2C+P">Peter Gerstoft</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="1609.04840v3-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> To provide constraints on their inversion, ocean sound speed profiles (SSPs) often are modeled using empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs).

However, this regularization, which uses the leading order EOFs with a minimum-energy constraint on their coefficients, often yields low resolution SSP estimates. In this paper, it is shown that dictionary learning, a form of unsupervised machine learning, can improve SSP resolution by generating a dictionary of shape functions for sparse processing (e.g. compressive sensing) that optimally compress SSPs; both minimizing the reconstruction error and the number of coefficients. These learned dictionaries (LDs) are not constrained to be orthogonal and thus, fit the given signals such that each signal example is approximated using few LD entries. Here, LDs describing SSP observations from the HF-97 experiment and the South China Sea are generated using the K-SVD algorithm. These LDs better explain SSP variability and require fewer coefficients than EOFs, describing much of the variability with one coefficient. Thus, LDs improve the resolution of SSP estimates with negligible computational burden. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1609.04840v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1609.04840v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 15 March, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 15 September, 2016; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2016. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> J Acoust.

These are dark current, chamber efficiency, noise rate, gas volume tomography, and gas leakage. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('physics/0601017v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('physics/0601017v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 4 January, 2006; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2006. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Comments: 6 pages, 1 table, 9 figures Proceedings of XXV Physics in Collision-Prague, Czech Republic, 6-9 July 2005</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0409075">arXiv:physics/0409075</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0409075">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/physics/0409075">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/physics/0409075">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> ATLAS RPC Cosmic Ray Teststand at INFN Lecce </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Cataldi%2C+G">G.
