Enhanced thermoelectric coupling near electronic phase transition: the role of fluctuation Cooper pairs

Henni Ouerdane, Andrey A. Varlamov, Alexey V. Kavokin +2

Thermoelectric energy conversion is a direct but low-efficiency process, which precludes the development of long-awaited wide-scale applications. As a breakthrough permitting a dra…

Free-flight experiments in LISA Pathfinder

M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +89

The LISA Pathfinder mission will demonstrate the technology of drag-free test masses for use as inertial references in future space-based gravitational wave detectors. To accomplis…

A Robust Class of Data Languages and an Application to Learning

Benedikt Bollig, Peter Habermehl, Martin Leucker +1

We introduce session automata, an automata model to process data words, i.e., words over an infinite alphabet. Session automata support the notion of fresh data values, which are w…

Interaction of two walkers: Wave-mediated energy and force

Christian Borghesi, Julien Moukhtar, Matthieu Labousse +3

A bouncing droplet, self-propelled by its interaction with the waves it generates, forms a classical wave-particle association called a "walker." Previous works have demonstrated t…

Quantified CTL: Expressiveness and Complexity

François Laroussinie, Nicolas Markey

While it was defined long ago, the extension of CTL with quantification over atomic propositions has never been studied extensively. Considering two different semantics (depending…

The relationship between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission and far-infrared dust emission from NGC 2403 and M83

A. G. Jones, G. J. Bendo, M. Baes +13

We examine the relation between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission at 8 microns and far-infrared emission from hot dust grains at 24 microns and from large dust grains…

Tensor calculus with open-source software: the SageManifolds project

Eric Gourgoulhon, Michal Bejger, Marco Mancini

The SageManifolds project aims at extending the mathematics software system Sage towards differential geometry and tensor calculus. Like Sage, SageManifolds is free, open-source an…

Stochastic dynamics of collective modes for Brownian dipoles

Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Pierre-Michel Déjardin, Gustavo S. Lozano +1

The individual motion of a colloidal particle is described by an overdamped Langevin equation. When rotational degrees of freedom are relevant, these are described by a correspondi…

Excessive Higgs pair production with little MET from squarks and gluinos in the NMSSM

Ulrich Ellwanger, Ana M. Teixeira

In the presence of a light singlino-like LSP in the NMSSM, the missing transverse energy - MET - signature of squark/gluino production can be considerably reduced. Instead, a pair…

SPySort: Neuronal Spike Sorting with Python

Christophe Pouzat, Georgios Is. Detorakis

Extracellular recordings with multi-electrode arrays is one of the basic tools of contemporary neuroscience. These recordings are mostly used to monitor the activities, understood…

Indirect searches for sterile neutrinos at a high-luminosity Z-factory

A. Abada, V. De Romeri, S. Monteil +2

A future high-luminosity -factory will offer the possibility to study rare decays, as those leading to lepton flavour violating final states. Processes such as $Z \to \ell_1…

Pair correlation and dynamic Jahn-Teller effect: high Tc in nanoclusters

Vladimir Kresin, Yurii Ovchinnikov, Jacques Friedel

Electronic states in metallic nanoclusters form energy shells and degree of their filling depends on the number of delocalized electrons. In the region close to half-filling the cl…

Black holes as gases of punctures with a chemical potential: Bose-Einstein condensation and logarithmic corrections to the entropy

Olivier Asin, Jibril Ben Achour, Marc Geiller +2

We study the thermodynamical properties of black holes when described as gases of indistinguishable punctures with a chemical potential. In this picture, which arises from loop qua…

Internal shocks driven by accretion flow variability in the compact jet of the black hole binary GX 339-4

S. Drappeau, J. Malzac, J. Belmont +2

In recent years, compact jets have been playing a growing role in the understanding of accreting black hole engines. In the case of X-ray binary systems, compact jets are usually a…

The - relation and the internal shock model

R. Mochkovitch, L. Nava

The validity of the - correlation in gamma-ray bursts and the possibility of explaining the prompt emission with internal shocks are highly debated questi…

The redemption of singularity confinement

Alfred Ramani, Basil Grammaticos, Ralph Willox +2

We present a novel way to apply the singularity confinement property as a discrete integrability criterion. We shall use what we call a full deautonomisation approach, which consis…

Behavior of grains in contact with the wall of a silo during the initial instants of a discharge-driven collapse

C. Colonnello, L. I. Reyes, E. Clément +1

We study experimentally gravity-driven granular discharges of laboratory scale silos, during the initial instants of the discharge. We investigate deformable wall silos around thei…
