Single-Pass GPU-Raycasting for Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement Data

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Kaehler | First 5 Authors: Ralf Kaehler, Tom Abel, , , | Summary: Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (SAMR) is a popular numerical technique to study processes with high spatial and temporal dynamic range. It reduces computational requirements by adapting the lattice on which the underlying differential equations are solved to most efficiently […]

A new approach to simulating collisionless dark matter fluids

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Kaehler | First 5 Authors: Oliver Hahn, Tom Abel, Ralf Kaehler, , | Summary: Recently, we have shown how current cosmological N-body codes already follow the fine grained phase-space information of the dark matter fluid. Using a tetrahedral tesselation of the three-dimensional manifold that describes perfectly cold fluids in six-dimensional phase space, […]

Status Report of the DPHEP Study Group: Towards a Global Effort for Sustainable Data Preservation in High Energy Physics

Kavli Affiliate: Homer Neal | First 5 Authors: Z. Akopov, Silvia Amerio, David Asner, Eduard Avetisyan, Olof Barring | Summary: Data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments are collected with significant financial and human effort and are mostly unique. An inter-experimental study group on HEP data preservation and long-term analysis was convened as a panel of […]

Technology developments for a scalable heterodyne MMIC array at W-band

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Church | First 5 Authors: Matthew Sieth, Sarah Church, Judy M. Lau, Patricia Voll, Todd Gaier | Summary: We report on the development of W-band (75-110 GHz) heterodyne receiver technology for large-format astronomical arrays. The receiver system is designed to be both mass-producible, so that the designs could be scaled to thousands […]

Investigating reciprocity failure in 1.7-micron cut-off HgCdTe detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Tomasz Biesiadzinski | First 5 Authors: Michael Schubnell, Tomasz Biesiadzinski, Wolfgang Lorenzon, Robert Newman, Greg Tarle | Summary: Flux dependent non-linearity (reciprocity failure) in HgCdTe NIR detectors with 1.7 micron cut-off was investigated. A dedicated test station was designed and built to measure reciprocity failure over the full dynamic range of near infrared […]
