We provide a method to correct the observed azimuthal anisotropy in heavy-ion collisions for the event plane resolution in a wide centrality bin. This new procedure is especially useful for rare particles, such as Omega baryons and J/psi mesons, which are difficult to measure in small intervals of centrality. Based on a Monte Carlo calculation with simulated v_2 and multiplicity, we show that some of the commonly used methods have a bias of up to 15%.

The new event generator TWOPEG for the channel $e p rightarrow e p pi^{+} pi^{-}$ has been developed. It uses an advanced method of event generation with weights and employs the five-fold differential structure functions from the rece
We study the popular centrality measure known as effective conductance or in some circles as information centrality. This is an important notion of centrality for undirected networks, with many applications, e.g., for random walks, electrical resistor networks, epidemic spreading, etc. In this paper, we first reinterpret this measure in terms of modulus (energy) of families of walks on the network. This modulus centrality measure coincides with the effective conductance measure on simple undirected networks, and extends it to much more general situations, e.g., directed networks as well. Secondly, we study a variation of this modulus approach in the egocentric network paradigm. Egonetworks are networks formed around a focal node (ego) with a specific order of neighborhoods. We propose efficient analytical and approximate methods for computing these measures on both undirected and directed networks. Finally, we describe a simple method inspired by the modulus point-of-view, called shell degree, which proved to be a useful tool for network science.
Signal estimation in the presence of background noise is a common problem in several scientific disciplines. An On/Off measurement is performed when the background itself is not known, being estimated from a background control sample. The frequentist and Bayesian approaches for signal estimation in On/Off measurements are reviewed and compared, focusing on the weakness of the former and on the advantages of the latter in correctly addressing the Poissonian nature of the problem. In this work, we devise a novel reconstruction method, dubbed BASiL (Bayesian Analysis including Single-event Likelihoods), for estimating the signal rate based on the Bayesian formalism. It uses information on event-by-event individual parameters and their distribution for the signal and background population. Events are thereby weighted according to their likelihood of being a signal or a background event and background suppression can be achieved without performing fixed fiducial cuts. Throughout the work, we maintain a general notation, that allows to apply the method generically, and provide a performance test using real data and simulations of observations with the MAGIC telescopes, as demonstration of the performance for Cherenkov telescopes. BASiL allows to estimate the signal more precisely, avoiding loss of exposure due to signal extraction cuts. We expect its applicability to be straightforward in similar cases.
Modern coaxial and planar HPGe detectors allow a precise determination of the energies and trajectories of the impinging gamma-rays. This entails the location of the gamma interactions inside the crystal from the shape of the delivered signals. This paper reviews the state of the art of the analysis of the HPGe response function and proposes methods that lead to optimum signal decomposition. The generic matrix method allows fast location of the interactions even when the induced signals strongly overlap.
This work concerns noise reduction for one-dimensional spectra in the case that the signal is corrupted by an additive white noise. The proposed method starts with mapping the noisy spectrum to a partial circulant matrix. In virtue of singular-value decomposition of the matrix, components belonging to the signal are determined by inspecting the total variations of left singular vectors. Afterwards, a smoothed spectrum is reconstructed from the low-rank approximation of the matrix consisting of the signal components only. The denoising effect of the proposed method is shown to be highly competitive among other existing nonparametric methods, including moving average, wavelet shrinkage, and total variation. Furthermore, its applicable scenarios in precision storage-ring mass spectrometry are demonstrated to be rather diverse and appealing.
