Estimation of Self-Exciting Point Processes from Time-Censored Data

Self-exciting point processes, widely used to model arrival phenomena in nature and society, are often difficult to identify. The estimation becomes even more challenging when arrivals are recorded only as bin counts on a finite partition of the observatio ...

Arnoldi-Lindblad time evolution: Faster-than-the-clock algorithm for the spectrum of time-independent and Floquet open quantum systems

Fabrizio Minganti

The characterization of open quantum systems is a central and recurring problem for the development of quantum technologies. For time-independent systems, an (often unique) steady state describes the average physics once all the transient processes have fa ...

The fragmentation mechanism of gold nanoparticles in water under femtosecond laser irradiation

Marcel Drabbels, Gabriele Bongiovanni, Ulrich Lorenz, Jonathan Mark Voss, Pavel Olshin, Chengcheng Yan

Plasmonic nanoparticles in aqueous solution have long been known to fragment under irradiation with intense ultrafast laser pulses, creating progeny particles with diameters of a few nanometers. However, the mechanism of this process is still intensely deb ...

VLT/FLAMES high-resolution chemical abundances in Sculptor: a textbook dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka

We present detailed chemical abundances for 99 red-giant branch stars in the centre of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, which have been obtained from high-resolution VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy. The abundances of Li, Na, alpha-elements (O, Mg, Si, Ca Ti), ...

Longitudinal and Transverse Instability of Ion Acoustic Waves

Stephan Brunner

Ion acoustic waves are found to be susceptible to at least two distinct decay processes. Which process dominates depends on the parameters. In the cases examined, the decay channel where daughter modes propagate parallel to the mother mode is found to domi ...
