This code trains a simulation-based inference (SBI) model for neutrino interaction parameter tuning and subsequently evaluates its performance on MicroBooNE, T2K, and NuWro datasets.
Code for plots, models, data generation and other utilities relating to the paper "wa-hls4ml: A Benchmark and Surrogate Models for hls4ml Resource and Latency Estimation" https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.05615 [FERMILAB-PUB-25-0359-CSAID]
static-subid calculates predictable subordinate UID and GID ranges for Linux users based on their UID, ensuring consistent ID mappings across multiple systems. Unlike shadow-utils' sequential allocation (which depends on creation order), static-subid uses a deterministic formula that guarantees the same user UID always receives the same subordinate ID range. Subordinate IDs enable user namespaces for unprivileged container runtimes (Podman, Docker rootless mode, LXC) by mapping container UIDs/GIDs to host subordinate IDs without requiring root privileges.

Rhythm is a small Python framework that automates Cadence Spectre simulations from the command line. Instead of creating an ADE testbench, you'll write a Rhythm Recipe, a short, readable Python script that contains each step needed to test your circuit from setting up libraries and stimulus waveforms to setting up analyses and reading the results (in Rhythm, these steps are called stages). Need to run more than one simulation? Use a Rhythm Campaign to easily sweep across corners and test conditions with a live dashboard and multithreading support.
An agent to analyze electroweak phase transition. LeWRON turns a BSM model description or a reproduction target into a structured run: symbolic setup, effective-potential artifacts, finite-temperature machinery, generated model code, a scientific report, and an interactive exploration session. It keeps both machine-readable artifacts and human-readable notes, so a run can be resumed, audited, revised, and shared.
Platform for synchrotron BPM turn-by-turn (TbT) tune analysis across multiple Redis digitizers.

API to store fact iA lightweight API service built with Litestar for collecting and storing system information from remote hosts. Designed to handle large-scale concurrency, the service receives HTTP submissions of system facts and package inventory from Ansible, curl, or other client tooling.nformation
Prototype IOC alarm pusher using Redis in a support module.
A Rust library for publisher-subscriber interactions. Used to hide the implementation of whatever pub-sub service is in use (e.g., Kafka, Redis, etc.).
This is an open data product that contains all the neutrino and antineutrino data from the MINERvA experiment, packaged in a way that you can use. The ultimate package will contain both neutrino and antineutrino data, and will contain both our Low energy and Medium Energy data, where the neutrino energy distributions peaked around 3GeV and 6GeV respectively. We also provide simulated data and a way to access our uncertainties on that simulation, including flux, neutrino interaction, and detector uncertainties. The data (and simulated data) has already been pre-selected to contain either a muon candidate or an electron candidate.
Nb₃Sn, with its superior superconducting critical temperature (Tc ~18.3 K) and superheating field (Hsh ~400 mT), is considered a promising material for superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities, offering enhanced cryogenic performance compared to bulk niobium cavities. A Nb₃Sn coating technique has been developed for Nb SRF cavities using co-sputtering of Nb-Sn composite target in a DC cylindrical magnetron sputtering system. The composite target configuration and discharge conditions for co-sputtering were optimized to deposit Nb-Sn films on flat Nb substrates, followed by annealing to form Nb₃Sn. Multiple strategies have been explored to improve the surface homogeneity of the Nb₃Sn coating, including optimizing a two-step annealing process, annealing in Sn vapor, and a light Sn recoating process. A 1.5 µm Nb-Sn co-sputtered film was deposited on the interior of a 2.6 GHz Nb SRF cavity and annealed at 600 °C for 6 h, followed by 950 °C for 1 h. Cryogenic RF testing of the annealed cavity demonstrated a Tc of 17.8 K, confirming the formation of Nb₃Sn. Then, the annealed cavity underwent a light recoating treatment and attained a quality factor (Q0) of 8.5E+08 at 2.0 K.
We present a method for reweighting flavor selection in the Lund string fragmentation model. This is the process of calculating and applying event weights enabling fast and exact variation of hadronization parameters on pre-generated event samples. The procedure is post hoc, requiring only a small amount of additional information stored per event, and allowing for efficient estimation of hadronization uncertainties without repeated simulation. Weight expressions are derived from the hadronization algorithm itself, and validated against direct simulation for a wide range of observables and parameter shifts. The hadronization algorithm can be viewed as a hierarchical Markov process with stochastic rejections, a structure common to many complex simulations outside of high-energy physics. This perspective makes the method modular, extensible, and potentially transferable to other domains. We demonstrate the approach in Pythia, including both coverage considerations and timing benefits. For the purpose of this paper, our goal is to develop and demonstrate the the formalism, and we therefore exclude several model variations for baryon production (popcorn model, junction production) needed for proton collisions. These will be the topic of a future paper.
We update the HOMER method, a technique to solve a restricted version of the inverse problem of hadronization – extracting the Lund string fragmentation function f(z) from data using only observable information. Here, we demonstrate its utility by extracting f(z) from synthetic Pythia simulations using high-level observables constructed on an event-by-event basis, such as multiplicities and shape variables. Four cases of increasing complexity are considered, corresponding to e + e − collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 90 ≥ v producing either a string stretched between a $q$ and $\bar{q}$ containing no gluons; the same string containing one gluon g with fixed kinematics; the same but the gluon has varying kinematics; and the most realistic case, strings with an unrestricted number of gluons that is the end-result of a parton shower. We demonstrate the extraction of f(z) in each case, with the result of only a relatively modest degradation in performance of the HOMER method with the increased complexity of the string system.
We present iHOMER, an iterative version of the HOMER method to extract Lund fragmentation functions from experimental data. Through iterations, we address the information gap between latent and observable phase spaces and systematically remove bias. To quantify uncertainties on the inferred weights, we use a combination of Bayesian neural networks and uncertainty-aware regression. We find that the combination of iterations and uncertainty quantification produces well-calibrated weights that accurately reproduce the data distribution. A parametric closure test shows that the iteratively learned fragmentation function is compatible with the true fragmentation function.
In this article, we summarise the recent experimental measurements and theoretical work on Higgs boson production via vector-boson fusion at the LHC. Along with this, we provide state-of-the-art predictions at fixed order as well as with parton-shower corrections within the Standard Model at 13.6 TeV. The results are presented in the form of multi-differential distributions as well as in the Simplified Template Cross Section bins. All materials and outputs of this study are available on public repositories. Finally, following findings in the literature, recommendations are made to estimate theoretical uncertainties related to parton-shower corrections.
