Abstract meson in$$D^0$$ p +p andp -Pb collisions using the improved AMPT model considering both coalescence and independent fragmentation of charm quarks after the Cronin broadening is included. After a detailed discussion of the improvements implemented in the AMPT model for heavy quark production, we show that the modified AMPT model can provide a good description of meson spectra in$$D^0$$ p -Pb collisions, the data at different centralities and$$Q_{\textrm{pPb}}$$ data in both mid- and forward (backward) rapidities. We also studied the effects of nuclear shadowing and parton cascade on the rapidity dependence of$$R_{\textrm{pPb}}$$ meson production and$$D^{0}$$ . Our results indicate that using the same strength of the Cronin effect (i.e$$R_{\textrm{pPb}}$$ value) as that obtained from the mid-rapidity data leads to a considerable overestimation of the$$\delta $$ meson spectra and$$D^0$$ data at high$$R_{\textrm{pPb}}$$ in the backward rapidity. As a result, the$$p_{\textrm{T}}$$ is determined via a$$\delta $$ fitting of the$$\chi ^2$$ data across various rapidities. This work lays the foundation for a better understanding of cold-nuclear-matter (CNM) effects in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.$$R_{\textrm{pPb}}$$ -

Abstract A direct comparison of the droplet size and number measurements using in-line holography and shadow imaging is presented in three dynamically evolving laboratory scale experiments. The two experimental techniques and image processing algorithms used to measure droplet number and radii are described in detail. Droplet radii as low as
µm are measured using in-line holography and$$r = 14$$ µm using shadow imaging. The droplet radius measurement error is estimated using a calibration target (reticle) and it was found that the holographic technique is able to measure droplet radii more accurately than shadow imaging for droplets with$$r = 50$$ µm. Using the measurements of droplet number and size we quantitatively cross-validate and assess the accuracy of the two measurement techniques. The droplet size distributions,$$r \le 625$$ N (r ), are measured in all three experiments and are found to agree well between the two measurement techniques. In one of the laboratory experiments, simultaneous measurements of droplets ( µm, using holography) and dry aerosols ($$r \ge 14$$ µm, using an scanning mobility particle sizer and$$0.07 \lessapprox r \lessapprox 2$$ µm using an optical particle sizer) are reported, one of the first such comparison to the best of our knowledge. The total number and volume of droplets is found to agree well between both techniques in the three experiments. We demonstrate that a relatively simple shadow imaging technique can be just as reliable when compared to a more sophisticated holographic measurement technique over their common droplet radius measurement range. The agreement in results is shown to be valid over a large range of droplet concentrations, which include experiments with relatively sparse droplet concentrations as low as 0.02 droplets per image. Advantages and disadvantages for the two techniques are discussed in the context of our results. The main advantages to in-line holography are the greater accuracy in droplet radius measurement, greater spatial resolution, larger depth of field, and the high repetition rate and short pulse duration of the laser light source. In comparison, the main advantages to shadow imaging are the simpler experimental setup, image processing algorithm, and fewer computer resources necessary for image processing. Droplet statistics like number and size are found to be very reliable between the two methods for large range of droplet densities,$$0.15 \lessapprox r \lessapprox 5$$ , ranging from$${\mathcal {P}}_{r>50}$$ cm$$10^{-4} \le {\mathcal {P}}_{r>50} \le 10^{-1}$$ , when the two techniques are implemented as shown in this paper.$$^{-3}$$ -
Abstract Let
K be a finite simplicial, cubical, delta or CW complex. The persistence map takes a filter$$\textrm{PH}$$ as input and returns the barcodes of the sublevel set persistent homology of$$f:K\rightarrow \mathbb {R}$$ f in each dimension. We address the inverse problem: given target barcodesD , computing the fiber . For this, we use the fact that$$\textrm{PH}^{-1}(D)$$ decomposes as a polyhedral complex when$$\textrm{PH}^{-1}(D)$$ K is a simplicial complex, and we generalise this result to arbitrary based chain complexes. We then design and implement a depth-first search that recovers the polytopes forming the fiber . As an application, we solve a corpus of 120 sample problems, providing a first insight into the statistical structure of these fibers, for general CW complexes.$$\textrm{PH}^{-1}(D)$$ -
Abstract We report on a measurement of Spin Density Matrix Elements (SDMEs) in hard exclusive
meson muoproduction at COMPASS using 160 GeV/$$\rho ^0$$ c polarised and$$ \mu ^{+}$$ beams impinging on a liquid hydrogen target. The measurement covers the kinematic range 5.0 GeV/$$ \mu ^{-}$$ $$c^2$$ 17.0 GeV/$$< W<$$ , 1.0 (GeV/$$c^2$$ c )$$^2$$ 10.0 (GeV/$$< Q^2<$$ c ) and 0.01 (GeV/$$^2$$ c )$$^2$$ 0.5 (GeV/$$< p_{\textrm{T}}^2<$$ c ) . Here,$$^2$$ W denotes the mass of the final hadronic system, the virtuality of the exchanged photon, and$$Q^2$$ the transverse momentum of the$$p_{\textrm{T}}$$ meson with respect to the virtual-photon direction. The measured non-zero SDMEs for the transitions of transversely polarised virtual photons to longitudinally polarised vector mesons ($$\rho ^0$$ ) indicate a violation of$$\gamma ^*_T \rightarrow V^{ }_L$$ s -channel helicity conservation. Additionally, we observe a dominant contribution of natural-parity-exchange transitions and a very small contribution of unnatural-parity-exchange transitions, which is compatible with zero within experimental uncertainties. The results provide important input for modelling Generalised Parton Distributions (GPDs). In particular, they may allow one to evaluate in a model-dependent way the role of parton helicity-flip GPDs in exclusive production.$$\rho ^0$$ -
Abstract We show that a positive proportion of cubic fields are not monogenic, despite having no local obstruction to being monogenic. Our proof involves the comparison of 2-descent and 3-descent in a certain family of Mordell curves
. As a by-product of our methods, we show that, for every$$E_k :y^2 = x^3 + k$$ , a positive proportion of curves$$r \ge 0$$ have Tate–Shafarevich group with 3-rank at least$$E_k$$ r .
