Optimizing Dynamic Aperture Studies with Active Learning

Tatiana Pieloni, Ekaterina Krymova, Mike Seidel, Davide Di Croce, Massimo Giovannozzi

Dynamic aperture is an important concept for the study of non-linear beam dynamics in circular accelerators. It describes the extent of the phase-space region where a particle's motion remains bounded over a given number of turns. Understanding the feature ...

A Noise-Resistant Mixed-Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for the Automatic Design of Robotic Controllers

Alcherio Martinoli, Cyrill Silvan Baumann

The automatic design of well-performing robotic controllers is still an unsolved problem due to the inherently large parameter space and noisy, often hard-to-define performance metrics, especially when sequential tasks need to be accomplished. Distal contr ...

A Novel Method for Detecting Unidentified Falling Object Loss Patterns in the LHC

Frédéric Blanc, Tatiana Pieloni, Davide Di Croce, Jorg Wenninger, Loïc Thomas Davies Coyle

Understanding and mitigating particle losses in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is essential for both machine safety and efficient operation. Abnormal loss distributions are tell- tale signs of abnormal beam behaviour or incorrect machine configuration. By ...

Leibniz en Créateur. Un regard matériel sur sa machine à calculer

Simon François Dumas Primbault

Between 1671 and 1716, the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz attempted to design a reckoning machine. Working closely with the Parisian clockmaker Monsieur Ollivier, Leibniz eventually failed at producing a working prototype. After the redisco ...

Efficiency Optimisation of Slotless Magnetic Bearing Machines

Yves Perriard, Douglas Martins Araujo, Leopoldo Rossini, Guzmán Borque Gallego

Efficiency is one of the key performance indexes in the design of electric motors. When considering fully active magnetic bearing machines, this aspect gain further relevance due to the necessity of actively controlling all the remaining degrees of freedom ...

Il demone dell'analogia: Ovvero affinità e divergenze fra il compagno aristotele e noi

Nicola Braghieri

This laconic discourse uses the Aristotelian authority to define the role of the analogical procedure in the government of the architectural composition. Respecting its ambiguous balance between mathematical method and attitude of the imagination, analogy ...

La phénoménotechnique questionnée par la médiation. L'exemple du showroom du Larsim

Yohann Michel Franck Guffroy

The purpose of this article is to present a space of mediation developed by the astrophysicist Vincent Minier and the philosopher Vincent Bontems at the Commissariat à l’Énergie atomique et aux Énergies renouvelables. This room, called “showroom”, promotes ...

System Support for Efficient Replication in Distributed Systems

Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi

Current online applications, such as search engines, social networks, or file sharing services, execute across a distributed network of machines. They provide non-stop services to their users despite failures in the underlying network. To achieve such a hi ...

Using the new VPMADD instructions for the new post quantum key encapsulation mechanism SIKE

Dusan Kostic

This paper demonstrates the use of new processor instructions VPMADD, intended to appear in the coming generation of Intel processors (codename "Cannon Lake"), in order to accelerate the newly proposed key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) named SIKE. SIKE is ...

Multi-channel Time Encoding for Improved Reconstruction of Bandlimited Signals

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Karen Adam

Traditional sampling involves encoding a signal through (time, value)-pairs. In contrast, time encoding machines (TEMs) characterize a signal by recording time points which depend on the integral of the signal over time. We study multi-channel TEMs where c ...

A machine learning approach based on generative topographic mapping for disruption prevention and avoidance at JET

Alessandro Pau

The need for predictive capabilities greater than 95% with very limited false alarms are demanding requirements for reliable disruption prediction systems in tokamaks such as JET or, in the near future, ITER. The prediction of an upcoming disruption must b ...

Oxygen diffusion through air–water free surfaces in a pump–turbine operating in condenser mode

François Avellan, Elena Vagnoni, Loïc Andolfatto, Pierre Leroy

The present research aims at understanding the mass transfer of air into water in a reversible pump turbine operating in condenser mode. In particular, the diffusion of oxygen through the water free-surface both in the vaneless gap between the impeller bla ...

Priority coordination of fiber positioners in multi-objects spectrographs

Denis Gillet, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mohamed Bouri, Laleh Makarem

Projects such as "The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument" (DESI) [1] or "The Multi Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph" (MOONS) [5] are developing spectrographs, composed of more than thousand of optical fibers in a confined hexagonal focal pla ...

Placement of Virtual Containers on NUMA systems: A Practical and Comprehensive Model

Baptiste Joseph Eustache Lepers

Our work addresses the problem of placement of threads, or virtual cores, onto physical cores in a multicore NUMA system. Different placements result in varying degrees of contention for shared resources, so choosing the right placement can have a large ef ...

Locality of the anomalous Hall conductivity

Antimo Marrazzo

The geometrical intrinsic contribution to the anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) of a metal is commonly expressed as a reciprocal-space integral: as such, it only addresses unbounded and macroscopically homogeneous samples. Here we show that the geometrical ...

High Frequency Effects of Impedances and Coatings in the CLIC Damping Rings

Eirini Koukovini Platia

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a 3 TeV e+e- machine, currently under design at CERN, that targets to explore the terascale particle physics regime. The experiment requires a high luminosity of 2x10^34 cm^2 s^-1, which can be achieved with ultra low ...

Sampling based on timing: Time encoding machines on shift-invariant subspaces

Martin Vetterli, David Gontier

Sampling information using timing is an approach that has received renewed attention in sampling theory. The question is how to map amplitude information into the timing domain. One such encoder, called time encoding machine, was introduced by Lazar and To ...

Hardness Of Precedence Constrained Scheduling On Identical Machines

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

In 1966, Graham showed that a simple procedure called list scheduling yields a 2-approximation algorithm for the central problem of scheduling precedence constrained jobs on identical machines to minimize makespan. To date this has remained the best algori ...
