The W boson mass is measured using proton-proton collision data at s√s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 fb−1 recorded during 2016 by the LHCb experiment. With a simultaneous fit of the muon q/pT distribution of a sample of W → μν decays and the ϕ* distribution of a sample of Z → μμ decays the W boson mass is determined to be
(formula)
where uncertainties correspond to contributions from statistical, experimental systematic, theoretical and parton distribution function sources. This is an average of results based on three recent global parton distribution function sets. The measurement agrees well with the prediction of the global electroweak fit and with previous measurements.

Исследуются свойства оптических покрытий на основе использования упрощенного симулятора ошибок в толщинах слоев покрытий при их напылении. Обосновывается возможность такого подхода. Выводятся аналитические оценки среднеквадратичного значения нормы вектора ошибок и степени коррелированности ошибок в толщинах слоев покрытия. Изучается зависимость среднеквадратичного значения нормы вектора ошибок и свойств покрытия от уровня случайных ошибок в слоях. ...

We investigate the prospects for observing a specific spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave
background, which occurs due to the anisotropy of the radiation when it is scattered by hot plasma of
galaxy clusters. Detection of this anisotropic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect would enable an independent

Информационные системы формируют большие объёмы событийных журналов, которые используются для анализа работы приложений и сервисов. При этом события могут поступать в аналитический контур позже момента их фактического возникновения и не в исходном порядке. Такая рассинхронизация приводит к ошибкам при построении агрегированных временных показателей, а регулярный полный пересчёт многомерного аналитического куба требует значительных вычислительных затрат.

Polarization of opinions in the group: a modeling algorithm considering the dynamics of social bonds
Chebotarev V., Andreyuk D., Elizarova Anastasiya et al., Procedia Computer Science 2022 Vol. 213 No. C P. 596–601
The dynamics of opinion in a group are of interest for a number of practical purposes. In particular, consensus helps and polarization of opinions hinders cohesive teamwork. Existing approaches for modeling opinion dynamics mostly do not take into account the dynamism of social relations in a group. This paper proposes an algorithm and a program ...

Decision trees and their ensemble extensions, such as random forests, are widely used as classification models due to their simplicity and interpretability. However, in many real-world tasks where class labels overlap in the feature space, standard decision trees rely on hard splits that create fragile decision boundaries. In these regions, small perturbations in the input ...

Dirty superconducting films with magnetic impurities can exhibit nontrivial behavior in a magnetic field that
polarizes the impurity spins. As predicted by Kharitonov and Feigelman (KF) [JETP Lett. 82, 421 (2005)],
this polarization reduces the exchange scattering rate. Consequently, a parallel magnetic field can enhance
the critical temperature Tc when magnetic-field pair breaking is weak, as realized for ...

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have emerged as promising materials for next-generation light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their solution processability, tunable emission wavelengths, narrow emission linewidths, and high photoluminescence quantum yields. Among them, anisotropic nanocrystals, including one-dimensional nanorods (NRs) and two-dimensional nanoplatelets (NPLs), offer additional opportunities for controlling transition dipole moment orientation and light out-coupling efficiency. These ...

Bayesian nonparametric density estimation procedures are typically based on single-scale priors, such as Dirichlet process mixtures. Alternative multiscale density priors built on decision trees have many well-known advantages, including the ability to characterize abrupt local changes and to provide an estimate with a desired level of resolution. Despite their theoretical appeal, multiscale methods have typically ...
