Characterisations of the HinOTORI telescope with a three-color imager at Ali Observatory in Western Tibet
HinOTORI is a new telescope supported by an international collaboration project between China and Japan. It is a 50 centimeter telescope equipped with simultaneous three-color imagers (u',R C , and I C bands). It is located at Ali Observatory at an altitude of 5100m. Thanks to the high altitude and extreme dryness, Ali site is one of the most suitable sites for optical astrometry. HinOTORI telescope aims at detecting optical transients such as the counterparts of gravitational wave (GW) sources, supernovae, gamma-ray bursts (GRB) and so on. This paper describes the site information, design of simultaneous three-color optical layout, system instruments and whole control system. We also report some telescope characterisations for three bands (u'/R C /I C ) respectively, such as Hartmann constant (0.49"/0.56"/0.60"), best focus position (3.922/3.920/3.903 mm), PSF FWHM size (3.755/3.328/3.167pixels), total transmittance and limiting magnitude (15.69/17.57/17.05mag, 10 σ 30 seconds exposure time). With different airmass observation data, the atmospheric extinction coefficients of three bands (0.366/0.061/0.026) were also derived.

Deep learning of interface structures from simulated 4D STEM data: cation intermixing vs. roughening ∗
Abstract Interface structures in complex oxides remain an active area of condensed matter physics research, largely enabled by recent advances in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Yet the nature of the STEM contrast in which the structure is projected along the given direction precludes separation of possible structural models. Here, we utilize deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) trained on simulated 4D STEM datasets to predict structural descriptors of interfaces. We focus on the widely studied interface between LaAlO 3 and SrTiO 3 , using dynamical diffraction theory and leveraging high performance computing to simulate thousands of possible 4D STEM datasets to train the DCNN to learn properties of the underlying structures on which the simulations are based. We test the DCNN on simulated data and show that it is possible (with >95% accuracy) to identify a physically rough from a chemically diffuse interface and create a DCNN regression model to predict step positions. We quantify the applicability of the model to different thicknesses and the transferability of the approach. The method shown here is general and can be applied for any inverse imaging problem where forward models are present.

High resolution viscous fingering simulation in miscible displacement using a p-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method with algebraic multigrid preconditioner
High resolution simulation of viscous fingering can offer an accurate and detailed prediction for subsurface engineering processes involving fingering phenomena. The fully implicit discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method has been shown to be an accurate and stable method to model viscous fingering with high Peclet number and mobility ratio. In this study, we present two techniques to speedup large scale simulations of this kind. The first technique relies on a simple p-adaptive scheme in which high order basis functions are employed only in elements near the finger fronts where the concentration has a sharp change. As a result, the number of degrees of freedom is significantly reduced and the simulation yields almost identical results to the more expensive simulation with uniform high order elements throughout the mesh. The second technique for speedup involves improving the solver efficiency. We present an algebraic multigrid (AMG) preconditioner which allows the DG matrix to leverage the robust AMG preconditioner designed for the continuous Galerkin (CG) finite element method. The resulting preconditioner works effectively for fixed order DG as well as p-adaptive DG problems. Finally, with the improvements provided by the p-adaptivity and AMG preconditioning, we can perform high resolution three-dimensional viscous fingering simulations required for miscible displacement with high Peclet number and mobility ratio in greater detail than before for well injection problems.

Integrating prediction, provenance, and optimization into high energy workflows
We propose a novel approach for efficient execution of workflows on distributed resources. The key components of this framework include: performance modeling to quantitatively predict workflow component behavior; optimization-based scheduling such as choosing an optimal subset of resources to meet demand and assignment of tasks to resources; distributed I/O optimizations such as prefetching; and provenance methods for collecting performance data. In preliminary results, these techniques improve throughput on a small Belle II workflow by 20%.

Fate of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: Strong decline under continued warming and Greenland melting
The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report concludes thatthe Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could weaken substantially but is very unlikely tocollapse in the 21st century. However, the assessment largely neglected Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS)mass loss, lacked a comprehensive uncertainty analysis, and was limited to the 21st century. Here in acommunity effort, improved estimates of GrIS mass loss are included in multicentennial projections usingeight state-of-the-science climate models, and an AMOC emulator is used to provide a probabilisticuncertainty assessment. We find that GrIS melting affects AMOC projections, even though it is of secondaryimportance. By years 2090–2100, the AMOC weakens by 18% [3%, 34%; 90% probability] in an intermediategreenhouse-gas mitigation scenario and by 37% [15%, 65%] under continued high emissions. Afterward, itstabilizes in the former but continues to decline in the latter to 74% [+4%, 100%] by 2290–2300, with a 44%likelihood of an AMOC collapse. This result suggests that an AMOC collapse can be avoided by CO2mitigation.

FPGA-based trigger system for the LUX dark matter experiment
LUX is a two-phase (liquid/gas) xenon time projection chamber designed to detect nuclear recoils resulting from interactions with dark matter particles. Signals from the detector are processed with an FPGA-based digital trigger system that analyzes the incoming data in real-time, with just a few microsecond latency. The system enables first pass selection of events of interest based on their pulse shape characteristics and 3D localization of the interactions. It has been shown to be >99% efficient in triggering on S2 signals induced by only few extracted liquid electrons. It is continuously and reliably operating since its full underground deployment in early 2013. This document is an overview of the systems capabilities, its inner workings, and its performance.

A Novel Front-End ASIC With Post Digital Filtering and Calibration for CZT-Based PET Detector
This paper presents a novel front-end electronics based on a front-end ASIC with post digital filtering and calibration dedicated to CZT detectors for PET imaging. A cascade amplifier based on split-leg topology is selected to realize the charge-sensitive amplifier (CSA) for the sake of low noise performances and the simple scheme of the power supplies. The output of the CSA is connected to a variable-gain amplifier to generate the compatible signals for the A/D conversion. A multi-channel single-slope ADC is designed to sample multiple points for the digital filtering and shaping. The digital signal processing algorithms are implemented by a FPGA. To verify the proposed scheme, a front-end readout prototype ASIC is designed and implemented in 0.35 μm CMOS process. In a single readout channel, a CSA, a VGA, a 10-bit ADC and registers are integrated. Two dummy channels, bias circuits, and time controller are also integrated. The die size is 2.0 mm x 2.1 mm. The input range of the ASIC is from 2000 e{sup -} to 100000 e{sup -}, which is suitable for the detection of the X-and gamma ray from 11.2 keV to 550 keV. The linearity of the output voltage is less than 1 %. The gain of the readout channel is 40.2 V/pC. The static power dissipation is about 10 mW/channel. The above tested results show that the electrical performances of the ASIC can well satisfy PET imaging applications. (authors)

Determination of the density of the defect states in Hf{sub 0.5}Zr{sub 0.5}O{sub 2} high-k film Deposited by using rf-magnetron sputtering technique
A memory structure Pt/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}/Hf{sub 0.5}Zr{sub 0.5}O{sub 2}/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}/p-Si was fabricated by using atomic layer deposition and rf-magnetron sputtering techniques, and its microstructure has been investigated by using the high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). By measuring the applied gate voltage dependence of the capacitance for the memory structure, the planar density of the trapped charges in Hf{sub 0.5}Zr{sub 0.5}O{sub 2} high-k film was estimated as 6.63 × 10{sup 12} cm{sup −2}, indicating a body defect density of larger than 2.21 × 10{sup 19} cm{sup −3}. It is observed that the post-annealing in N{sub 2} can reduces the defect density in Hf{sub 0.5}Zr{sub 0.5}O{sub 2} film, which was ascribed to the occupancy of oxygen vacancies by nitrogen atoms.
