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 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 ...

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 ...

How Asynchronous Events Encode Video

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Karen Adam

As event-based sensing gains in popularity, theoretical understanding is needed to harness this technology’s potential. Instead of recording video by capturing frames, event-based cameras have sensors that emit events when their inputs change, thus encodin ...

What graph neural networks cannot learn: depth vs width

Andreas Loukas

This paper studies the expressive power of graph neural networks falling within the message-passing framework (GNNmp). Two results are presented. First, GNNmp are shown to be Turing universal under sufficient conditions on their depth, width, node attribut ...

Dynamic behaviour of a Francis turbine during voltage regulation in the electrical power system

François Avellan, Elena Vagnoni

Hydroelectric units can be operated in synchronous condenser mode to provide reactive power to the electrical power system (EPS) for voltage regulation. In this operating mode, the hydraulic turbine consumes active power and in case of hydroelectric units ...

Sampling and Reconstruction of Bandlimited Signals with Multi-Channel Time Encoding

Martin Vetterli, Karen Adam, Adam James Scholefield

Sampling is classically performed by recording the amplitude of the input at given time instants; however, sampling and reconstructing a signal using multiple devices in parallel becomes a more difficult problem to solve when the devices have an unknown sh ...

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 ...

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 ...

Block Oriented Programming: Automating Data-Only Attacks

Mathias Josef Payer

With the widespread deployment of Control-Flow Integrity (CFI), control-flow hijacking attacks, and consequently code reuse attacks, are significantly more difficult. CFI limits control flow to well-known locations, severely restricting arbitrary code exec ...

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 ...

On Sphere-Filling Ropes

Henryk Gerlach

What is the longest rope on the unit sphere? Intuition tells us that the answer to this packing problem depends on the rope's thickness. For a countably infinite number of prescribed thickness values we construct and classify all solution curves. The simpl ...
