  • Paper about the ratio of light quarks from the time when the standard axion was introduced. It shows that at the time, due to second order chiral perturbation theory the known mass ratio of m_u/m_d could still have been a purely mixing effect, allowing one of the two quarks to be massless!

To agree with experimental bounds, however, this parameter must be very small ($\theta$ < 10-9). After briefly discussing some other possible solutions to this, so-called, strong CP problem, I concentrate on the chiral solution proposed by Peccei and Quinn which has associated with it a light pseudoscalar particle, the axion. I discuss in detail the properties and dynamics of axions, focusing particularly on invisible axion models where axions are very light, very weakly coupled, and very long-lived. Astrophysical and cosmological bounds on invisible axions are also briefly touched upon.",

  • The two papers that introduce the KSVZ axion: Kim, Shifman, Vainstein, Zakharov in these two papers:

    DFSZ Model: In the KSVZ (or “hadronic”) model, the axion does not have tree-level couplings to the leptons. The PQ symmetry in this model is realized in a way that is “invisible” to the leptons, meaning they do not transform under the PQ symmetry. Hence, at the leading order, there’s no axion-lepton coupling. However, it’s important to note that there can still be axion-lepton couplings at higher loops in the KSVZ model, but they would be suppressed compared to the DFSZ case.

  • Tip of the Red Giant Branch Bounds on the Axion-Electron Coupling Revisited https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.03113 https://zenodo.org/record/7896061 -> A paper about g_ae limits. Using an ML model as an emulator for simulations for Tip of Red Giant Branch stars & a MCMC approach to evaluate the model and study the allowed parameters space. Showed that the previous “best limit” on g_ae from TRGB stars at α_26 < 0.13 (from:

    [5] F. Capozzi and G. Raffelt, Axion and neutrino bounds improved with new calibrations of the tip of the red-giant branch using geometric distance determinations, PhRvD 102, 083007 (2020), arXiv:2007.03694 [astro-ph.SR].

    is off by at least an order of magnitude (if using gaussian priors for a set of parameters that were used in another paper):

    [8] N. Viaux, M. Catelan, P. B. Stetson, G. G. Raffelt, J. Redondo, A. A. R. Valcarce, and A. Weiss, Neutrino and Axion Bounds from the Globular Cluster M5 (NGC 5904), PhRvL 111, 231301 (2013), arXiv:1311.1669 [astro-ph.SR].

    still leads to a value ~10 times larger if calculated using MCMC while varying α_26 at the same time! where α_26 = 10^26 g_ae² / 4π -> α_26 (=0.13) / 10^26 * 4π = 1.27e-13 -> α_26 (=1.3) / 10^26 * 4π = 4e-13 -> α_26 (=2) / 10^26 * 4π = 5e-13

    In their full analysis however, their entire range of parameters up to α_26 = 2 is fully viable still. Meaning axion electron couplings of up to that number are not excluded at all.

    The main reason appears to be not taking uncertainties of “known” stellar parameters into account correctly while comparing with the effect of the coupling constant.

    α_26 = 2 corresponds to: 5.01e-13!

    They conclude that likely values quite a bit larger are still not excluded either, just their grid search only went to that value. ~/org/Papers/axions/tip_red_giant_branch_bounds_axion_electron_2305.03113.pdf cite:dennis2023tip Quote about what else might be affected as such:

    The methods we have developed here could be ap- plied to reevaluate the bounds obtained using other stel- lar tests of axions e.g., horizontal branch stars [73, 74] the white dwarf luminosity function [75, 76], pulsating white dwarfs [77], black hole population statistics [78– 84], and Cepheid stars [85].

  • Marios’ PhD thesis The website the thesis is hosted on requires one to register to download the PDF. But they have an ‘online viewer’ that is pretty crappy. It serves the “PDF” as a bunch of JPGs:
    for i in {1..583}; do echo $i; wget "https://freader.ekt.gr/getfile.php?lib=eadd&path=large&doc=GqDcGf8%3D&item=${i}.jpg"; done
        

    The suffix of the page is the page number of the PDF. Just combine via:

    convert -quality 80 `lc -pn1 *.jpg` marios_phd_thesis_bunch_of_jpgs_80.pdf
        

    where we use lc’s smarter sorting of file names (-p: plain, no colors, and n1 for single column).

In particular (why I found it now) it references the papers by Dine, Kim, Zhitnhitsky and Shifman as the origins of an invisible axion. In that sense the introduction of the DFSZ and KVSZ models are the introduction of ‘invisible axion’ models.

Other axion helioscopes

Rochester-Brookhaven-Florida

  • Design for a practical laboratory detector for solar axions Paper about the first axion helioscope. This contains the derivation of the axion-photon conversion probability including a buffer gas! The work is based on raffelt1988mixing above. ~/org/Papers/design_practical_lab_detection_solar_axions_brookhaven_PhysRevD.39.2089.pdf It also contains this nugget:

    The photon refractive in- dex has been written, without loss of generality, `n_γ = 1 - m_γ² / 2ω² - iΓ/2ω` where, in general, m_γ and Γ are functions of ω and z. Γ is the damping coefficient or inverse absorption length for the x rays. The quantities m_γ and Γ are easily related to the usual atomic scattering factors f₁ and f₂, as tabulated, e.g., by Henke et a1. 27

      note = {Chameleons are particles with a density dependent effective mass and couplings to matter as well as photons. They are introduced in modifications to General Relativity involving scalar fields and aiming at explaining Dark Energy, which is needed for the observed self-accelerated expansion of the universe. Chameleons can be produced in the tachocline region of the Sun. On Earth these solar chameleons can be detected by axion helioscopes such as the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) where they are converted into low energy X-ray photons inside a strong magnet pointed towards the Sun. Due to weak couplings corresponding to a very low number of expected signal events, X-ray detectors with low background rates and high efficiency are required. In this thesis an X-ray detector based on the GridPix technology, a pixelized readout combined with an integrated gas amplification stage, was developed and built. This detector, which features a low energy threshold and allows for an eventshape based background suppression, was characterized at a variable X-ray generator and afterwards commissioned at CAST behind an X-ray telescope. From the data taken at CAST in 2014 and 2015 with this detector an improved upper bound on the chameleon photon coupling was derived.},

The grid is fixed parallel and precisely to the wafer (anode) surface at a distance of 50μm by means of insulating pillars. When some 400V are applied between the grid and (anode) wafer, gas multiplication occurs: primary electrons from the drift space above the grid enter the holes and cause electron avalanches in the high-field region between the grid and the anode. Production and operational characteristics of the device are described. With this newly developed technology, CMOS (pixel) readout chips can be covered with a gas multiplication grid. Such a chip forms, together with the grid, an integrated device which can be applied as readout in a wide field of gaseous detectors.},

    abstract="All gaseous detectors signal the passage of charged particles by gathering the electrons from the ion pairs produced in the gas, usually after some amplification. The history of the gas detectors starts with the counter described by Rutherford and Geiger in 1908 [1]. It consisted of a cylindrical metallic tube filled with air or other simple gases at some 5 Torr and with a 0.45 mm diameter wire along its axis. The negative high voltage on the tube with respect to the wire was adjusted to below the discharge limit. With a gas gain of a few 103, only $\alpha$-particles could be detected as current pulses with an electrometer. This counter was the first electronic counter, following the optical counting of light flashes in the study of radioactive substances with scintillating crystals. A major step was taken when Geiger found that by replacing the anode wire by a needle with a fine pin, electrons could also be detected [2]. These needle counters became the main particle counter for years. Already in 1924, Greinacher started using electronic tubes to amplify the signals [3].",

  • The thin and medium filters of the EPIC camera on-board XMM-Newton: measured performance after more than 15 years of operation https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10686-016-9505-2 ~/org/Papers/thin_medium_epic_filters_of_xmm_newton_15years.pdf This paper contains very useful information about the EPIC filters! It explains the composition of the EPIC filters:

    Filter manufacturing process The EPIC Thin and Medium filters manufactured by MOXTEX consist of a thin film of polyimide, with nominal thickness of 160 nm, coated with a single layer of aluminum whose nominal thickness is 40 nm for the Thin and 80 nm for the Medium filters, respectively. The polyimide thin films are produced by spin-coating of a polyamic acid (PAA) solution obtained by dissolving two precursor monomers (an anhydride and an amine) in an organic polar solvent. For the EPIC Thin and Medium filters the two precursors are the Biphenyldianhydride (BPDA) and the p-Phenyldiamine (PDA) (Dupont PI-2610), and the solvent is N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (Dupont T9040 thinner). To convert the PAA into polyimide, the solution is heated up to remove the NMP and to induce the imidization through the evaporation of water molecules. The film thickness is controlled by spin coating parameters, PAA viscosity, and curing temperature [19]. The polyimide thin membrane is attached with epoxy onto a transfer ring and the aluminum is evaporated in a few runs, distributed over 2–3 days, each one depositing a metal layer of about 20 nm thickness.

    The EPIC Thin and Medium flight qualified filters have been manufactured during a period of 1 year, from January’96 to January’97. Table 1 lists the full set of flight-qualified filters (Flight Model and Flight Spare) delivered to the EPIC consortium, together with their most relevant parameters. Along with the production of the flight qualified filters, the prototypes and the qualification filters (not included in this list) have been manufactured and tested for the construction of the filter transmission model and to assess the stability in time of the Optical/UV transparency (opacity). Among these qualification filters are T4, G12, G18, and G19 that have been previously mentioned.

    and further states that the G12 refers to the medium thickness filter:

    UV/Vis transmission measurements in the range 190–1000 nm have been performed between May 1997 and July 2002 on one Thin (T4) and one medium (G12) EPIC on-ground qualification filters to monitor their time stability [16].

    PP G12 is the name written in the CDL documentation! Mystery solved.

  • Criticism of the XMM Newton solar axion results. Three main points about pointing accuracy of XMM Newton at the Sun, 2nd something about a photonic Stern-Gerlach effect and finally their choice of g_ae = 2.2e-12 being in conflict with astrophysical bounds. The last one for sure is a pretty weak argument, given the uncertainty on astrophysical bounds.

X-ray optics

~/org/Papers/xrays/analytical_computation_off_axis_conical_xray_telescope_0906.5367.pdf contains analytical calculations about X-ray optics which follow the conical approximation. They explicitly state (page 3): ~/org/Figs/statusAndProgress/rayTracing/conical_approx_focal_length_screenshot.png that the focal length of a conical approximation is always slightly larger than the focal length of a real Wolter type 1 optic! Unfortunately they don’t specify by how much (at least I haven’t seen it yet).

When many thin-walled cones are nested, such a mirror affords the relatively high aperture filling factor needed for telescopes well suited to broadband x-ray astonomy. A conical mirror also features a constant spatial resolution across the field of view and can be designed to have an arbitrarily high intrinsic spatial resolution. We describe the spatial resolution and filling factor of conical optics as a function of various design parameters as characterized using a Monte Carlo ray tracing procedure.},

In this technical correspondence, we want to point out some inaccuracies in the way DBSCAN was represented, and why the criticism should have been directed at the assumption about the performance of spatial index structures such as R-trees and not at an algorithm that can use such indexes. We will also discuss the relationship of DBSCAN performance and the indexability of the dataset, and discuss some heuristics for choosing appropriate DBSCAN parameters. Some indicators of bad parameters will be proposed to help guide future users of this algorithm in choosing parameters such as to obtain both meaningful results and good performance. In new experiments, we show that the new SIGMOD 2015 methods do not appear to offer practical benefits if the DBSCAN parameters are well chosen and thus they are primarily of theoretical interest. In conclusion, the original DBSCAN algorithm with effective indexes and reasonably chosen parameter values performs competitively compared to the method proposed by Gan and Tao.},

X-ray fluorescence

Lorentzian line shape

Today <2023-10-26 Thu 17:03> I finally tried to find some references for the origin of X-ray emission being Lorentzian in shape. Lots of fun stuff. Always a rabbit hole and only scratching the surface!

  • Seems to be the original paper explaining the expected line shape of emission.

We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark photons, etc. Particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, Probability and Statistics. Among the 120 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised, including a new review on Machine Learning, and one on Spectroscopy of Light Meson Resonances.The Review is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 includes the Summary Tables and 97 review articles. Volume 2 consists of the Particle Listings and contains also 23 reviews that address specific aspects of the data presented in the Listings.The complete Review (both volumes) is published online on the website of the Particle Data Group (pdg.lbl.gov) and in a journal.

      abstract = 	 {While logistic sigmoid neurons are more biologically plausible than hyperbolic tangent neurons, the latter work better for training multi-layer neural networks. This paper shows that rectifying neurons are an even better model of biological neurons and yield equal or better performance than hyperbolic tangent networks in spite of the hard non-linearity and non-differentiability at zero, creating sparse representations with true zeros which seem remarkably suitable for naturally sparse data. Even though they can take advantage of semi-supervised setups with extra-unlabeled data, deep rectifier networks can reach their best performance without requiring any unsupervised pre-training on purely supervised tasks with large labeled datasets. Hence, these results can be seen as a new milestone in the attempts at understanding the difficulty in training deep but purely supervised neural networks, and closing the performance gap between neural networks learnt with and without unsupervised pre-training.},
