The recent trend toward increasingly deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) leads to a higher demand of computational power and memory storage. Consequently, the deployment of CNNs in hardware has become more challenging. In this paper, we propose an Intra-Kernel Regular (IKR) pruning scheme to reduce the size and computational complexity of the CNNs by removing redundant weights at a fine-g...

Atmospheric neutrinos produced by cosmic-ray interactions in the atmosphere are of interest for several reasons. As a beam for studies of neutrino oscillations they cover a range of parameter space hitherto unexplored by accelerator neutrino beams. The atmospheric neutrinos also constitute an important background and calibration beam for neutrino astronomy and for the search for proton decay an...

We present results on the mixing parameter ∆md and tests of the CPT symmetry in the B0 dB 0 d mixing from the time evolution of dilepton events on the Υ(4S) resonance. The analysis is based on a 5.9 fb−1 data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB accelerator from January to July of 2001. We obtain ∆md = 0.463 ± 0.008 (stat) ± 0.016 (syst) ps−1. No evidence for CPT violation is foun...

An FEL utilizing a high energy, high current and low emittance beam to prtduce radiation shorter than 2 A is investigated in this paper. This device is an extension of the previously proposed 40 A Linac Coherent Light Source based on the Stanford linear accelerator. Here we investigate the performance characteristics and parameter sensitivities of this single pass, high gain FEL amplifier opera...

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, neutralinos lighter than 50 GeV are compatible with all accelerator, precision, and cosmological bounds. Such neutralinos might constitute a relevant decay channel for the Higgs boson, modifying its expected signatures at hadron colliders. We study the branching ratio h → χχ and determine the region in the supersymmetric parameter space where it is ...

This tutorial paper provides an overview of design considerations for semiconductor radiation detectors and electronics in high radiation environments. Problems specific to particle accelerator applications are emphasized and many of the presented results originated in extensive studies of radiation effects in large scale particle detectors for the SSC and LHC. Basic radiation damage mechanisms...

Department of Physics, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Hachioji, Tokyo 192-0397, Japan Abstract We point out the possibility that reactor measurement of θ13, when combined with high-statistics νe appearance accelerator experiments, can detect leptonic CP violation. Our proposal is based on a careful statistical analysis under reasonable assumptions on systematic errors, assuming 2 years running ...

A class of derivative-free methods without memory for approximating a simple zero of a nonlinear equation is presented. The proposed class uses four function evaluations per iteration with convergence order eight. Therefore, it is an optimal three-step scheme without memory based on Kung-Traub conjecture. Moreover, the proposed class has an accelerator parameter with the property that it can in...

We present a new approach to the analysis of neutrino oscillation experiments , in the one mass-scale limit of the three-generation scheme. In this framework we reanalyze and recombine the most constraining accelerator and reactor data, in order to draw precise bounds in the new parameter space. We consider our graphical representations as particularly suited to show the interplay among the dii...
