However, effectively training new software users presents several challenges. Common methods like direct knowledge transfer and in-person workshops are limited in reach and comprehensiveness. Furthermore, while the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the benefits of online training, traditional online tutorials can quickly become outdated and may not cover all the software's functionalities. To address these issues, here we introduce ``PLUMED Tutorials'', a collaborative model for developing, sharing, and updating online tutorials. This initiative utilizes repository management and continuous integration to ensure compatibility with software updates. Moreover, the tutorials are interconnected to form a structured learning path and are enriched with automatic annotations to provide broader context. This paper illustrates the development, features, and advantages of PLUMED Tutorials, aiming to foster an open community for creating and sharing educational resources. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2412.03595v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2412.03595v1-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> 29 November, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 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">26 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/2109.01005">arXiv:2109.01005</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.01005">pdf</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> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Nuclear Experiment">nucl-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/10.1051/epjconf/202125307009">10.1051/epjconf/202125307009 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> uRANIA-V: an innovative solution for neutron detection in homeland security </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Farinelli%2C+R">R.

The crisis of 3He availability has required the development of innovative techniques. One solution is to develop light gas detectors for neutron counting to be used as portals for ports and airports. The neutron is converted on the Boron-coated cathode, releasing a charged particle, whose passage can be identified by the gas detector. While several technologies have been deployed in the past, the project 渭RANIA-V ( 渭Rwell Advanced Neutron Identification Apparatus) aims to detect thermal neutrons by means of the 渭Rwell technology, an innovative gas detector. The goal is to produce tiles to operate as portals in homeland security or for radioactive waste management. The technological transfer towards the industry has started, thus the production can be cost-effective also owing to a construction process relatively easier compared to similar apparatus. By reading directly the signals from the amplification stage, the neutrons can be counted with simplified electronics further reducing the total cost. In this paper, the project will be described, with details on the 渭Rwell technology and on the neutron counting, on the test beam performed, and on the future plans. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2109.01005v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2109.01005v1-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> 2 September, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 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">ANIMMA 2021 conference proceeding</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.12121">arXiv:2102.12121</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.12121">pdf</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Chemical Physics">physics.chem-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/10.1063/5.0045944">10.1063/5.0045944 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Multi-replica biased sampling for photoswitchable pi-conjugated polymers </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fortino%2C+M">Mariagrazia Fortino</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Cozza%2C+C">Concetta Cozza</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bonomi%2C+M">Massimiliano Bonomi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pietropaolo%2C+A">Adriana Pietropaolo</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="2102.12121v3-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> In recent years, pi-conjugated polymers are attracting considerable interest in view of their light-dependent torsional reorganization around the pi-conjugated backbone, which determines peculiar light-emitting properties.

Motivated by the interest in designing conjugated polymers with tunable photoswitchable pathways, we devised a computational framework to enhance the sampling of the torsional conformational space and at the same time estimate ground to excited-state free-energy differences. This scheme is based on a combination of Hamiltonian Replica Exchange (REM), Parallel Bias metadynamics, and free-energy perturbation theory. In our scheme, each REM replica samples an intermediate unphysical state between the ground and the first two excited states, which are characterized by TD-DFT simulations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. We applied the method to a 5-mer of 9,9-dioctylfluorene and found that upon irradiation this system can undergo a dihedral inversion from 155 to -155 degrees crossing a barrier that decreases from 0.1 eV in the ground state (S0) to 0.05 eV and 0.04 eV in the first (S1) and second (S2) excited states. Furthermore, S1 and even more S2 were predicted to stabilize coplanar dihedrals, with a local free-energy minimum located at +-44 degrees. The presence of a free-energy barrier of 0.08 eV for the S1 and 0.12 eV for the S2 state can trap this conformation in a basin far from the global free-energy minimum located at 155 degrees. The simulation results were compared with the experimental emission spectrum, showing a quantitative agreement with the predictions provided by our framework. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2102.12121v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2102.12121v3-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> 3 May, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 24 February, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 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">14 pages, 6 figures.

The working principle of the detector relies on the nuclear reaction 10B+n $\rightarrow$ $伪$+ 7Li , with $伪$ and Li ions generating a hot spot on the current-biased Nb strip which in turn induces a superconducting-normal state transition. The latter is recognized as a voltage signal which is the evidence of the incident neutron. The above described detection principle has been experimentally assessed and verified by irradiating the samples with a pulsed neutron beam at the ISIS spallation neutron source (UK). It is found that the boron coated superconducting strips, kept at a temperature T = 8 K and current-biased below the critical current Ic, are driven into the normal state upon thermal neutron irradiation. As a result of the transition, voltage pulses in excess of 40 mV are measured while the bias current can be properly modulated to bring the strip back to the superconducting state, thus resetting the detector. Measurements on the counting rate of the device are presented and the future perspectives leading to neutron detectors with unprecedented spatial resolutions and efficiency are highlighted. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1412.7307v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1412.7307v1-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> 23 December, 2014; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2014. </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">8 pages 6 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/1401.8218">arXiv:1401.8218</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1401.8218">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1401.8218">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Nuclear Experiment">nucl-ex</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Further investigations on the Neutron Flux Generation in a Plasma Discharge Electrolytic Cell </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Faccini%2C+R">R.

We use two different types of neutron detectors, poly-allyl-diglicol-carbonate (PADC, aka CR-39) tracers and Indium disks. At 95% C.L. we provide an upper limit of 1.5 neutrons cm^-2 s^-1 for the thermal neutron flux at ~5 cm from the center of the cell. Allowing for a higher energy neutron component the largest allowed flux is 64 neutrons cm^-2 s^-1. This upper limit is two orders of magnitude smaller than what previously claimed in an electrolytic cell plasma discharge experiment.

IRIDE will be a high intensity 'particle factory', based on a combination of a high duty cycle radio-frequency superconducting electron linac and of high energy lasers. Conceived to provide unique research possibilities for particle physics, for condensed matter physics, chemistry and material science, for structural biology and industrial applications, IRIDE will open completely new research possibilities and advance our knowledge in many branches of science and technology. IRIDE will contribute to open new avenues of discoveries and to address most important riddles: What does matter consist of? What is the structure of proteins that have a fundamental role in life processes? What can we learn from protein structure to improve the treatment of diseases and to design more efficient drugs? But also how does an electronic chip behave under the effect of radiations? How can the heat flow in a large heat exchanger be optimized? The scientific potential of IRIDE is far reaching and justifies the construction of such a large facility in Italy in synergy with the national research institutes and companies and in the framework of the European and international research. It will impact also on R&D work for ILC, FEL, and will be complementarity to other large scale accelerator projects. IRIDE is also intended to be realized in subsequent stages of development depending on the assigned priorities. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1307.7967v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1307.7967v1-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> 30 July, 2013; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2013. </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">270 pages</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1009.2862">arXiv:1009.2862</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1009.2862">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1009.2862">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computational Physics">physics.comp-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/10.1103/PhysRevB.82.174306">10.1103/PhysRevB.82.174306 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Nuclear quantum effects in ab initio dynamics: theory and experiments for lithium imide </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Ceriotti%2C+M">Michele Ceriotti</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Miceli%2C+G">Giacomo Miceli</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pietropaolo%2C+A">Antonino Pietropaolo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Colognesi%2C+D">Daniele Colognesi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Nale%2C+A">Angeloclaudio Nale</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Catti%2C+M">Michele Catti</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bernasconi%2C+M">Marco Bernasconi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Parrinello%2C+M">Michele Parrinello</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="1009.2862v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Owing to their small mass, hydrogen atoms exhibit strong quantum behavior even at room temperature.

Including these effects in first principles calculations is challenging, because of the huge computational effort required by conventional techniques. Here we present the first ab-initio application of a recently-developed stochastic scheme, which allows to approximate nuclear quantum effects inexpensively. The proton momentum distribution of lithium imide, a material of interest for hydrogen storage, was experimentally measured by inelastic neutron scattering experiments and compared with the outcome of quantum thermostatted ab initio dynamics. We obtain favorable agreement between theory and experiments for this purely quantum mechanical property, thereby demonstrating that it is possible to improve the modelling of complex hydrogen-containing materials without additional computational effort. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1009.2862v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1009.2862v1-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 September, 2010; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2010. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.
