To systematically resum the logarithms, we factorize the scattering cross-section into the hard, the collinear, and the soft parts. And we additionally factorize the original soft part into the global soft function and the two collinear-soft functions, where the latter can be combined with the collinear parts to form the fragmentation functions to jet (FFJs). The factorization theorem derived here can be easily applicable to other processes near threshold. Using the factorized result, we show the resummed result for the dijet invariant mass to the accuracy of next-to-leading logarithms.

The DF-RFeFET is aimed at enhancing the memory window (MW) for high-performance memory applications. TCAD simulations with calibrated FE parameters and device models reveal that the DF-RFeFET can achieve a larger MW thanks to the enhanced geometric advantage to offer a strong and localized electric field at the inner ferroelectrics near the gate metal’s corner. Moreover, design guidelines for the DF-RFeFET are suggested, including adjusting the inner and outer ferroelectric layers' thickness ratio and the recessed channel depth. The effects of introducing a relatively low-<i>k</i> oxide intermediate layer between dual ferroelectric layers and high-k gate stacks of IL on the MW have also been investigated.

The beam current is measured with an oscilloscope and the measured signal values are collected using Ethernet. At this process, Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) converts the raw voltage values into beam current and transmits each data to users via Channel Access (CA). The beam waveform is remotely shared by utilizing virtual network computing (VNC) to access the oscilloscope’s graphic desktop. The process variables (PV) of beam currents can be monitored and stored simultaneously, and data analysis is possible at any time using an API. However, as the accelerator duty cycle improves, synchronization becomes necessary for beam data collection, and it has been confirmed that there are occurrences of missing the PV of the beam current. This issue has two main causes. Firstly, data collection operates in a polling method within TCP/IP communication. The advantage of polling is that its implementation is relatively straightforward. Since the client periodically sends requests, the communication system can predict when data will be received, reducing overhead. On the other side, a drawback is that no updates occur until data are requested, resulting in lower real-time capability. Therefore, without synchronization with the timing system, accurate collection of pulsed beam data becomes challenging. Secondly, as the beam duty increases, a considerable amount of beam data is missing due to transmission limits. To address this, a Data Acquisition (DAQ) for beam current acquisition has been developed, and testing and debugging have been completed. This paper describes the design, debugging, and operational plans of beam current monitoring system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140976315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
