Probing cold nuclear matter with energy correlators

The future electron-ion collider (EIC) will produce the first-ever high energy collisions between electrons and a wide range of nuclei, opening a new era in the study of cold nuclear matter. Quarks and gluons produced in these collisions will propagate through the dense nuclear matter of nuclei, imprinting its structure into subtle correlations in the energy flux of final state hadrons. In this article, we apply recent developments from the field of jet substructure, namely the energy correlator observables, to decode these correlations and provide a new window into nuclear structure. The energy correlators provide a calibrated probe of the scale dependence of vacuum quantum chromodynamics (QCD), enabling medium modifications to be imaged and interpreted as a function of scale. Using the eHIJING parton shower to simulate electron-nucleus collisions, we demonstrate that the size of the nucleus is imprinted as an angular scale in the correlators, with a magnitude that is visible for realistic EIC kinematics. We can observe the size difference between the proposed EIC nuclear targets ${}^3$He, ${}^4$He, ${}^{12}$C, ${}^{40}$Ca, ${}^{64}$Cu, ${}^{197}$Au, and ${}^{238}$U, showing that the energy correlators can image femtometer length scales using asymptotic energy flux. Our approach offers a unified view of jet substructure across collider experiments, and provides numerous new theoretical tools to unravel the complex dynamics of QCD in extreme environments, both hot and cold.

APT Encrypted Traffic Detection Method based on Two-Parties and Multi-Session for IoT

APT traffic detection is an important task in network security domain, which is of great significance in the field of enterprise security. Most APT traffic uses encrypted communication protocol as data transmission medium, which greatly increases the difficulty of detection. This paper analyzes the existing problems of current APT encrypted traffic detection methods based on machine learning, and proposes an APT encrypted traffic detection method based on two parties and multi-session. This method only needs to extract a small amount of features, such as session sequence, session time interval, upstream and downstream data size, and convert them into images. Then convolutional neural network method can be used to realize image recognition. Thus, network traffic identification can be realized too. In the preliminary test of five experiments, this method achieves good experimental results, which verifies the effectiveness of the method.

Direct Photon Production and Azimuthal Anisotropy at Low Transverse Momentum measured in PHENIX

The PHENIX experiment discovered a large excess of low-$p_{T}$ direct photons in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV compared to reference p+p collisions, which has been attributed to thermal radiation from the medium produced in the collisions. At the same time the excess photons show a large azimuthal anisotropy, expressed as Fourier coefficients $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$. These surprising results have not yet been fully described by theoretical models. We will present the results obtained from real photons in the electromagnetic calorimeter and photons converted on the outer shell of the Hadron Blind Detector. PHENIX has also developed a new technique to identify conversion photons without assuming the radius where the conversion happened. This method greatly increases the available statistics and reduces systematic uncertainties.
