Controlling the rotation of drift tearing modes by biased electrode in ADITYA-U tokamak

Harshita Raj

The influence of background plasma poloidal rotation on the rotation frequency of the m/n = 2/1 drift tearing mode (DTM) has been studied in ADITYA-U tokamak. The poloidal rotation velocity of the background plasma in the ion diamagnetic direction is incre ...

The bias of dark matter tracers: assessing the accuracy of mapping techniques

Cheng Zhao

We present a comparison between approximated methods for the construction of mock catalogues based on the halo-bias mapping technique. To this end, we use as reference a high-resolution N-body simulation of 38403 dark matter particles on a 400 h(-1) Mpc cu ...

Multi-armed Bandits in Action

Farnood Salehi

Making decisions is part and parcel of being human. Among a set of actions, we want to choose the one that has the highest reward. But the uncertainty of the outcome prevents us from always making the right decision. Making decisions under uncertainty can ...
