Preserving Superconvergence of Spectral Elements for Curved Domains via h and p-Geometric Refinement [Slides]

Spectral element methods (SEM) are extensions of finite element methods (FEM) that employ Gauss-Lobatto or similar nodes instead of equidistant nodes for high-order elements. SEM can deliver superior accuracy compared to equidistant FEM due to potential superconvergence. However, significant challenges remain for domains with curved boundaries, which have limited the advantages of SEM for real-world applications. In this work, we propose a novel approach to bolster the overall accuracy and preserve the superconvergence of SEM over curved domains.

Modification of Χ c1 (3872) and ψ(2S) Production in p Pb Collisions at $\sqrt{S_{NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV

The LHCb Collaboration measures production of the exotic hadron Χ c1 (3872) in proton-nucleus collisions for the first time. Comparison with the charmonium state ψ(2S) suggests that the exotic Χ c1 (3872) experiences different dynamics in the nuclear medium than conventional hadrons, and comparison with data from proton-proton collisions indicates that the presence of the nucleus may modify Χ c1 (3872) production rates. This is the first measurement of the nuclear modification factor of an exotic hadron.

$\nu_μ$ Disappearance in MicroBooNE using the Deep Learning 1$\mu$1$p$ Selection

We test a 3+1 model with the MicroBooNE data using a 1µ1p selection developed using Deep-Learning-based reconstruction. In order to test this model we apply a muon neutrino disappearance effect to the selection, and search across a grid of oscillation model parameters using a Feldman Cousins technique. We determine MicroBooNE’s sensitivity across this model parameter space, and perform several validation studies to test this study’s robustness. Finally, we examine the allowed and excluded regions per MicroBooNE’s data at 90% confidence, using a data set corresponding to 6.67 × 10 20 protons on target. The null model remains allowed, and several of the high-disappearance models are excluded.

High waste loading glass formulation development for high-P HLW

The primary objective of the work described herein was to develop and identify HLW glass compositions and glass forming additive blends that achieve high waste loadings and processing rates for high phosphorus HLW streams while maintaining acceptable glass properties. This was accomplished through a combination of crucible-scale tests, vertical gradient furnace tests, and confirmation tests on the DM100 melter system.
