FaKnow: A Unified Library for Fake News Detection

Over the past years, a large number of fake news detection algorithms based on deep learning have emerged. However, they are often developed under different frameworks, each mandating distinct utilization methodologies, consequently hindering reproducibility. Additionally, a substantial amount of redundancy characterizes the code development of such fake news detection models. To address these concerns, we propose FaKnow, a unified and comprehensive fake news detection algorithm library. It encompasses a variety of widely used fake news detection models, categorized as content-based and social context-based approaches. This library covers the full spectrum of the model training and evaluation process, effectively organizing the data, models, and training procedures within a unified framework. Furthermore, it furnishes a series of auxiliary functionalities and tools, including visualization, and logging. Our work contributes to the standardization and unification of fake news detection research, concurrently facilitating the endeavors of researchers in this field. The open-source code and documentation can be accessed at https://github.com/NPURG/FaKnow and https://faknow.readthedocs.io, respectively.

Approximate Entropy Analysis for Nonlinear Beam Dynamics

In this paper, we apply approximate entropy (ApEn) analysis to the nonlinear beam dynamics in circular accelerators. Due to the presence of strong nonlinear magnets, chaos of beam motion gradually increases with amplitude. Such chaos can be quantitatively characterized with ApEn of beam turn-by-turn readings. Then ApEn, as a chaos indicator, can be used for nonlinear lattice optimization and analysis.

Nonlinear optics from hybrid dispersive orbits

In this paper we present an expansion of the technique of characterizing nonlinear optics from off-energy orbits (NOECO) to cover harmonic sextupoles in storage rings. The existing NOECO technique has been successfully used to correct the chromatic sextupole errors on the MAX-IV machine, however, it doesn't account for harmonic sextupoles, which are widely used on many other machines. Through generating vertical dispersion with chromatic skew quadrupoles, a measurable dependency of nonlinear optics on harmonic sextupoles can be observed from hybrid horizontal and vertical dispersive orbits. Proof of concept of our expanded technique was accomplished by simulations and beam measurements on the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) storage ring.

Designing linear lattices for round beam in electron storage rings using the solution by linear matrices analysis

For some synchrotron light source beamline applications, a round beam is preferable to a flat one. A conventional method of obtaining round beam in an electron storage ring is to shift its tune close to a linear difference resonance. The linearly coupled beam dynamics is analyzed with perturbation theories, which have certain limitations. In this paper, we adopt the Solution by LInear Matrices (SLIM) analysis to calculate exact beam sizes to design round beam lattices. The SLIM analysis can deal with a generally linearly coupled accelerator lattice. The effects of various coupling sources on beam emittances and sizes can be studied within a self-consistent frame. Both the on- and off-resonance schemes to obtain round beams are explained with examples. The SLIM formalism for two widely used magnet models: combined-function bending magnets, and planar wigglers and undulators, is also derived.

Design of double- and multi-bend achromat lattices with large dynamic aperture and approximate invariants

A numerical method to design nonlinear double- and multi-bend achromat (DBA and MBA) lattices with approximate invariants of motion is investigated. The search for such nonlinear lattices is motivated by Fermilab's Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA), whose design is based on an integrable Hamiltonian system with two invariants of motion. While it may not be possible to design an achromatic lattice for a dedicated synchrotron light source storage ring with one or more exact invariants of motion, it is possible to tune the sextupoles and octupoles in existing DBA and MBA lattices to produce approximate invariants. In our procedure, the lattice is tuned while minimizing the turn-by-turn fluctuations of the Courant-Snyder actions $J_x$ and $J_y$ at several distinct amplitudes, while simultaneously minimizing diffusion of the on-energy betatron tunes. The resulting lattices share some important features with integrable ones, such as a large dynamic aperture, trajectories confined to invariant tori, robustness to resonances and errors, and a large amplitude-dependent tune-spread. Compared to the nominal NSLS-II lattice, the single- and multi-bunch instability thresholds are increased and the bunch-by-bunch feedback gain can be reduced.

Data-driven Chaos Indicator for Nonlinear Dynamics and Applications on Storage Ring Lattice Design

A data-driven chaos indicator concept is introduced to characterize the degree of chaos for nonlinear dynamical systems. The indicator is represented by the prediction accuracy of surrogate models established purely from data. It provides a metric for the predictability of nonlinear motions in a given system. When using the indicator to implement a tune-scan for a quadratic Henon map, the main resonances and their asymmetric stop-band widths can be identified. When applied to particle transportation in a storage ring, as particle motion becomes more chaotic, its surrogate model prediction accuracy decreases correspondingly. Therefore, the prediction accuracy, acting as a chaos indicator, can be used directly as the objective for nonlinear beam dynamics optimization. This method provides a different perspective on nonlinear beam dynamics and an efficient method for nonlinear lattice optimization. Applications in dynamic aperture optimization are demonstrated as real world examples.

Infrared spectroscopy of endohedral water in C$_{60}$

Infrared absorption spectroscopy study of endohedral water molecule in a solid mixture of H$_2$O@C$_{60}$ and C$_{60}$ was carried out at liquid helium temperature. From the evolution of the spectra during the ortho-para conversion process, the spectral lines were identified as para- and ortho-water transitions. Eight vibrational transitions with rotational side peaks were observed in the mid-infrared: $ω_1$, $ω_2$, $ω_3$, $2ω_1$, $2ω_2$, $ω_1 +ω_3$, $ω_2 +ω_3$, and $2ω_2+ω_3$. The vibrational frequencies $ω_2$ and 2$ω_2$ are lower by 1.6\% and the rest by 2.4\%, as compared to free \water/. A model consisting of a rovibrational Hamiltonian with the dipole and quadrupole moments of water interacting with the crystal field was used to fit the infrared absorption spectra. The electric quadrupole interaction with the crystal field lifts the degeneracy of the rotational levels. The finite amplitudes of the pure $v_1$ and $v_2$ vibrational transitions are consistent with the interaction of the water molecule dipole moment with a lattice-induced electric field. The permanent dipole moment of encapsulated \water/ is found to be $0.5\pm 0.1$ D as determined from the far-infrared rotational line intensities. The translational mode of the quantized center of mass motion of \water/ in the molecular cage of C$_{60}$ was observed at 110cm$^{-1}$ (13.6meV).

Fast dynamic aperture optimization with reversal integration

A fast method for dynamic aperture (DA) optimization of storage rings has been developed through the use of reversal integration. While chaotic dynamical systems have exact time-reversal symmetry, numerical forward integration differs from its reversal due to scaled cumulative round-off errors. The difference, intrinsically associated with the Lyapunov exponent, is a generic indicator of chaos because it represents the sensitivity of chaotic motion to an initial condition. A chaos indicator of the charged particle motion is then obtained by comparing the forward integrations of particle trajectories with corresponding reversals, a.k.a. "backward integrations." The indicator was confirmed to be observable through short-term particle tracking simulations. Therefore, adopting it as an objective function could speed up optimization. The DA of the National Synchrotron Light Source II storage ring, and another test diffraction-limited light source ring, were optimized using this method for the purpose of demonstration.

Analysis of beam position monitor requirements with Bayesian Gaussian regression

With a Bayesian Gaussian regression approach, a systematic method for analyzing a storage ring's beam position monitor (BPM) system requirements has been developed. The ultimate performance of a ring-based accelerator, based on brightness or luminosity, is determined not only by global parameters, but also by local beam properties at some particular points of interest (POI). BPMs used for monitoring the beam properties, however, can not be located at these points. Therefore, the underlying and fundamental purpose of a BPM system is to predict whether the beam properties at POIs reach their desired values. The prediction process is a regression problem with BPM readings as the training data, but containing random noise. A Bayesian Gaussian regression approach can determine the probability distribution of the predictive errors, which can be used to conversely analyze the BPM system requirements. This approach is demonstrated by using turn-by-turn data to reconstruct a linear optics model, and predict the brightness degradation for a ring-based light source. The quality of BPMs was found to be more important than their quantity in mitigating predictive errors.

Reconstruction of Storage Ring 's Linear Optics with Bayesian Inference

A novel approach of accurately reconstructing storage ring's linear optics from turn-by-turn (TbT) data containing measurement error is introduced. This approach adopts a Bayesian inference based on the Markov Chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, which is widely used in data-driven discoveries. By assuming a preset accelerator model with unknown parameters, the inference process yields the their posterior distribution. This approach is demonstrated by inferring the linear optics Twiss parameters and their measurement uncertainties using a set of data measured at the National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II) storage ring. Some critical effects, such as radiation damping rate, decoherence due to nonlinearity and chromaticity can also be included in the model and inferred. These effects are usually ignored in existing approaches. One advantage of the MCMC based Bayesian inference is that it doesn't require a large data pool, thus a complete optics reconstruction can be accomplished from a limited number of turns in a single data snapshot, before a significant machine drift can happen. The precise reconstruction of the parameter in accelerator model with the uncertainties is crucial prior information for applying the them to improve machine performance.

Simultaneous generation of two THz waves with bulk LiNbO3 and four THz waves with PPLN by coupled optical parametric generation

We present a theoretical research concerning simultaneous generation of two terahertz (THz) waves with bulk LiNbO3 and four THz waves with periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) by coupled optical parametric generation (COPG). First, we investigate collinear phase matching of COPG generating two orthogonally polarized THz waves with two types of phase matching of o = e + e and o = e + o with bulk LiNbO3. The two orthogonally polarized THz waves are generated from stimulated polariton scattering (SPS) with A1 and E symmetric transverse optical (TO) modes in bulk LiNbO3, respectively. Then, we find that perturbations of phase mismatch for o = e + e and o = e + o can be compensated by a same grating vector of PPLN. As a result, four THz waves are simultaneously generated with a PPLN crystal and a pump laser. We calculate third-order nonlinear optical coefficients of o = e + o generating THz waves from E symmetric TO modes. The intensities of four THz waves are calculated by solving coupled wave equations. The calculation results demonstrate that the COPG generating four THz waves have high photon conversion efficiencies.

Bayesian Approach for Linear Optics Correction

With a Bayesian approach, the linear optics correction algorithm for storage rings is revisited. Starting from the Bayes' theorem, a complete linear optics model is simplified as "likelihood functions" and "prior probability distributions". Under some assumptions, the least square algorithm and then the Jacobian matrix approach can be re-derived. The coherence of the correction algorithm is ensured through specifying a self-consistent regularization coefficient to prevent overfitting. Optimal weights for different correction objectives are obtained based on their measurement noise level. A new technique has been developed to resolve degenerated quadrupole errors when observed at a few select BPMs. A necessary condition of being distinguishable is that their optics response vectors seen at these specific BPMs should be near-orthogonal.

Characterization and control of linear coupling using turn-by-turn beam position monitor data in storage rings

We introduce a new application of measuring symplectic generators to characterize and control the linear betatron coupling in storage rings. From synchronized and consecutive BPM (Beam Position Monitor) turn-by-turn (TbT) readings, symplectic Lie generators describing the coupled linear dynamics are extracted. Four plane-crossing terms in the generators directly characterize the coupling between the horizontal and the vertical planes. Coupling control can be accomplished by utilizing the dependency of these plane-crossing terms on skew quadrupoles. The method has been successfully demonstrated to reduce the vertical effective emittance down to the diffraction limit in the newly constructed National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) storage ring. This method can be automatized to realize linear coupling feedback control with negligible disturbance on machine operation.

Optimize Nonlinear Beam Dynamical System with Square Matrix Method

Nonlinear dynamics has an important role when designing modern synchrotron lattices. In this letter, we introduce a new method of using a square matrix to analyze periodic nonlinear dynamical systems [1, 2]. Applying the method to the National Synchrotron Light Source II storage ring lattice has helped to mitigate the chaotic motion within its dynamic aperture. For a given dynamical system, the vector space of a square matrix can be separated into different low dimension invariant subspaces according to their eigenvalues. When Jordan decomposition is applied to one of the eigenspaces, it yields a set of accurate action-angle variables. The distortion of the new action-angle variables provides a measure of the nonlinearity. Our studies show that the common convention of confining the tune-shift with amplitude to avoid the crossing of resonance lines may not be absolutely necessary. We demonstrate that the third order resonance can be almost perfectly compensated with this technique. The method itself is general, and could be applied to other nonlinear systems.

Domain and Phase De-strain - Formation of Ferroelastic Domain Structures

Phase decomposition is a well-known process leading to the formation of two-phase mixtures. Here we show that a strain imposed on a ferroelastic crystal promotes the formation of mixed phases and domains, i.e., domain and phase de-strain with local strains determined by a common tangent construction on the free energy versus strain curves. It is demonstrated that a domain structure can be understood using the concepts of domain/phase rule, lever rule, coherent and incoherent de-strain within the de-strain model description, in a complete analogy to phase decomposition. The proposed de-strain model is validated using phase-field simulations and experimental observations of PbTiO_3 and BiFeO_3 thin films as examples. The de-strain model provides a simple tool to guide and design domain structures of ferroelastic systems.

A practical approach to extract symplectic transfer maps numerically for arbitrary magnetic elements

We introduce a practical approach to extract the symplectic transfer maps for arbitrary magnetic beam-line elements. Beam motion in particle accelerators depends on linear and nonlinear magnetic fields of the beam-line elements. These elements are usually modeled as magnetic multipoles with constant field strengths in the longitudinal direction (i.e., hard-edge model) in accelerator design and modeling codes. For magnets with complicated structures such as insertion devices or fields with significant longitudinal variation effects, the simplified models may not be sufficient to char- acterize beam dynamics behaviors accurately. A numerical approach has been developed to extract symplectic transfer maps from particle trajectory tracking simulation that uses magnetic field data provided by three-dimensional magnetic field modeling codes or experimental measurements. The extracted transfer maps can be used in linear optics design and nonlinear dynamics optimization to achieve more realistic results.
