In this work, the passive and active isolation performance of a triaxial cryogenic active vibration isolator designed to operate at temperatures below 10 K and ultra-high vacuum conditions with pressures below 10−9 mbar is investigated. While passive isolation of ground motion is effective for frequencies above 6.5 Hz, active suppression of motion and force disturbances can be achieved between 2.46 Hz and 21.4 Hz leading to a reduction of root-mean-square motion by one order of magnitude in the active control band. The performance limits of the current system are evaluated and compared with requirements of ETpathfinder, a prototype facility for investigating cryogenic technologies that enable the target low-frequency sensitivity improvement of the planned Einstein Telescope compared to current terrestrial gravitational-wave detectors.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":"145 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144715336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present the first fully optimal estimator for P3D, which exactly deconvolves the survey window function and marginalizes contaminated modes that distort the power spectrum. Our approach adapts optimal estimator techniques developed for the 2D cosmic microwave background data to the 3D case. To achieve computational feasibility, we employ the conjugate gradient method and implement the P3M formalism to handle large-scale and small-scale operations separately and efficiently. We validate our estimator using Monte Carlo mocks and Gaussian simulations, demonstrating its accuracy and computational efficiency. We confirm that mode marginalization eliminates distortions arising from quasar continuum errors and delivers robust power spectrum estimation, though it also inflates errors at large scales. This first implementation works in the flat-sky case; we discuss the remaining steps needed to generalize it to the curved-sky case. This formalism offers a foundation for the Lyα forest P3D measurements and a new path toward cosmological constraints from the Lyα forest data.","PeriodicalId":15445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144719642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a toy model with a delta effective potential in which the quasi-normal mode can be unambiguously identified, we highlight an aspect of QNMs that is long known yet often ignored: the amplitude of a QNM (after factoring out the corresponding exponential with a complex frequency) is not constant but instead varies with time. We stress that this is true even within the regime of validity of linear perturbation theory. The precise time variation depends on the initial conditions, as we show here for Gaussian and S-shaped initial conditions. Furthermore, it is possible to find initial conditions for which the QNM even fails to materialize; it is also possible to find those for which the QNM amplitude grows indefinitely. Focusing on cases where the QNM amplitude does stabilize at late times, we explore how this timescale for amplitude stabilization depends on the shape and location of the initial perturbation profile. Our findings underscore the need for care in fitting linear QNMs to ringdown data, and for a better understanding of the initial conditions. They also suggest recent computations of quadratic QNMs, sourced purely by stabilized linear QNMs, may not fully capture what determines the amplitude of the quadratic QNMs, even at late times. Our results motivate a detailed investigation of the initial perturbations generated in the aftermath of a binary merger.","PeriodicalId":15445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144719641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome this bottleneck, a mimic fusion method based on spatiotemporal feature saliency change-driven approach, termed STMFuse, is proposed, whereby spatiotemporal feature variations are continuously monitored and the fusion architecture is dynamically reconfigured, thereby ensuring optimal fusion performance. Specifically, a spatiotemporal dual-domain feature perception module extracts single-modal temporal change features and cross-modal difference features to comprehensively capture dynamic scene characteristics. To address the inadequacy of single threshold settings in measuring dynamic feature variations, a possibility distribution function and synthesis rules is constructed to quantify feature change degree, utilizing significant change features as driving factors for mimic variant adjustments. By investigating the dynamic correlation between feature changes and fusion quality metrics, a mimic variant evaluation function based on correlation coefficient weighting is established, mapping the relationship between features and mimic variants. Finally, a multi-feature collaborative decision mechanism based on energy functions is designed to determine the optimal mimic variant combination by integrating various feature change characteristics.

In this study, the critical role of the dissipative Faraday instability (DFI) in facilitating the self‐starting process of Mos is unveiled, where the DFI triggers the symmetry breaking of the homogeneous solution to overcome the initiation barriers. A panoramic view of several distinct operational regimes with distinct DFI patterns is provided, namely the non‐self‐starting states, the irregular patterns, the harmonic mode locking regime, the stable single pulse and the stable multi pulse regime. For the latest case, the origins of randomness in these pulse sequences through analyzing the causality between the timing of the random pulses and the initial seeding conditions are uncovered. Building upon these findings, the novel time‐injection locking technique is proposed to customize the temporal locations of the pulses as well as the pattern timing in MOs, thus demonstrating its potential for applications in all‐optical data storage and tunable ultrashort pulse sources.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144710750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
