Proposal to use LHC general-purpose detectors in “beam-dump” measurements for long-lived particles by Bhaskar Dutta, Doojin Kim, Hyunyong Kim

“…We argue that the drift tube chambers and the ME0 module of the muon system can serve as detectors to record the photons from the ALP decay, demonstrating that assuming the background level can be controlled as discussed in this work, the resulting sensitivity reach is competitive due to their close proximity to the signal source points. …”

A model of energy dissipation at fatigue crack tip in metals by Oleg Plekhov, Aleksei Vshivkov, Anastasia Iziumova, Balasubramaniam Venkatraman

“…The heat flux from the crack tip caused by plastic deformation localization was measured using the contact heat flux sensor previously developed by the authors. This provides a possibility to find a correlation between energy dissipation and crack propagation rate under fatigue uniaxial loading with constant stress intensity factor and under biaxial loading with constant stress amplitude. …”

Blockchain network layer anomaly traffic detection method based on multiple classifier integration by Qianyi DAI, Bin ZHANG, Song GUO, Kaiyong XU

“…To improve the comprehensive generalized feature perception ability of mixed attack traffic on the blockchain network layer, and enhance the performance of abnormal traffic detection, a blockchain layer traffic anomaly detection method was proposed that supported the comprehensive judgement of data anomaly with a strong generalisation capability.Firstly, to expand the difference of the input feature subset of the base classifier used, a feature subset selection algorithm based on discrimination degree and redundant information was proposed, and the output of high sensitivity subset terms was stimulated during the feature screening process, while the generation of redundant information was suppressed.Then, the stochastic variance reduction gradient algorithm was introduced into the bagging integration algorithm to realize the dynamic adjustment of the voting weights of each base modeland improve thecapability in detecting the generalised hybrid abnormal attack traffic.Finally, LBoF algorithm was proposed to map the low-dimensional numerical vector output by the integrated algorithm to a high-dimensional space.The discrepancy of data point spatial density distribution of various samples were amplified based on the potential difference between data points to increase the recall rate of anomalous data point detection.The experimental results show that in detecting multiple hybrid attack traffic on blockchain layers, the proposed method presents an increase in the anomaly detection accuracy and recall rate, which is 1.57% and 2.71%, respectively, compared with methods based on a single classifier integration.…”
