论文摘要
储层计算是预测湍流的有力工具，其简单的架构具有处理大型系统的计算效率。然而，其实现通常需要完整的状态向量测量和系统非线性知识。我们使用非线性投影函数将系统测量扩展到高维空间，然后将其输入到储层中以获得预测。我们展示了这种储层计算网络在时空混沌系统上的应用，该系统模拟了湍流的若干特征。我们表明，使用径向基函数作为非线性投影器，即使只有部分观测并且不知道控制方程，也能稳健地捕捉复杂的系统非线性。最后，我们表明，当测量稀疏、不完整且带有噪声，甚至控制方程变得不准确时，我们的网络仍然可以产生相当准确的预测，从而为实际湍流系统的无模型预测铺平了道路。
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to study p-p and Pb-Pb collisions at ultra-relativistic energies. ALICE is equipped with a Muon Spectrometer (MS) to study the heavy charmonia in p-p and heavy ion collisions via their muonic decay. At first, in the LHC Run 1 and 2 the selection of interesting events for muon physics in the MS was performed with a dedicated Muon Trigger system based on Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) operated in maxi-avalanche mode. During the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) of LHC ALICE underwent a major upgrade of its apparatus: since Run 3 (started in July 2022), in order to fully profit from the increased luminosity of Pb-Pb collisions (from 20 kHz in Run 2 to 50 kHz in Run 3), the ALICE experiment is running in continuous readout (triggerless) mode and the Muon Trigger became the Muon IDentifier (MID). In order to reduce the RPC ageing and to increase the rate capability, it was decided to use a new front-end electronics FEERIC with a pre-amplification stage to minimize the charge released per hit inside the gas gap. A description of the MID upgrades, together with the results and performances of the RPCs from the commissioning, is presented in this talk.
