Galileo Galilei Institute

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together scientists with different backgrounds and expertise to discuss open problems, recent developments and future directions in axion physics, a field that is notoriously replete with interdisciplinary connections. The aim is to foster a fruitful cross breeding between different theoretical areas, with a focus on certain open issues in axion particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Quantitative assessments of the axion contribution to Cold Dark Matter (CDM) involve top-notch lattice simulations of non- perturbative QCD effects, as well as of the cosmic evolution of axionic topological defects. Astrophysical observations provide strong bounds on axion properties because stellar evolution would be affected by the existence of axions and, intriguingly, some excesses in star energy losses have been reported. Cosmological scenarios in which the PQ symmetry is broken before inflation foresee axions imprints in the CMB, while in post-inflationary scenarios axion miniclusters, with overdensities several orders of magnitude larger than the local density of CDM, are expected to form, and a reliable assessment of their properties is of utmost importance. From the experimental side, a blossoming of potentially game-changing ideas, with an exciting crossover from experimental particle physics to materials science and cutting-edge technologies is inspiring new methods for axion searches. Novel techniques have been put forth that, besides exploiting the axion- photon coupling, aim to reveal axions via their couplings to nucleons and electrons. The interaction between the experimental and theoretical communities will foster the merging of `how to search’ with `where to search’ into optimized strategies to hunt for the axion.

The heterogeneous near surface consists of the complex interactions between rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms, which determine the availability of life-sustaining resources such as water. This environment has been increasingly exploited for human needs, such as water supply, to store our waste and food production. To assess the environmental risk associated with such exploitation and exploration, the near surface has to be investigated and characterized with high resolution methods to enhance our understanding of e.g., hydrological and biogeochemical processes. In this presentation, we will focus on the potential of ground penetrating radar (GPR) to investigate small-scale processes and to enhanced the reconstruction of the subsurface properties. GPR can be applied to a wide range of applications to solve geological, hydrogeophysical, permafrost and civil engineering questions, to name just a few examples. Especially, the GPR full-waveform inversion (FWI) demonstrated in the last decade the benefits of an improved high-resolution method to assess geological, hydrological, and biogeochemical subsurface properties and related processes. This presentation will emphasize the recent developments and applications that we accomplished in the last years using novel GPR algorithms ranging from large-scale high resolution aquifer characterization, investigation of flow and transport processes and agricultural management. These examples demonstrate the significant role that GPR and the FWI can have to enhance our near surface characterization to support management decisions.

The neutron landscape has undergone some changes in recent years after the closure of several research reactors in Europe. Therefore, making available state-of-the-art new high-performance neutron sources with an optimized range of instruments is one of the issues that is occupying the modern neutron scatterer community. For their construction there is now an increasing focus on alternative techniques to nuclear fission, such as pulsed sources and, among these, accelerator-driven, low-energy compact neutron sources are considered worldwide to be the next generation for a wide range of applications.

The JCNS Workshop 2023 will be dedicated to future instruments at pulsed sources and it will have the aim of discussing the last and new developments in instrumentation for such sources together with the new opportunities offered by complementary techniques and by industrial applications.

The exceptional gain in precision quantum metrology (QM) enabled new application of quantum sensors to studies of fundamental physics ranging from dark matter searches to detection of gravitational waves. These new developments involve surprising and unexpected connections between QM methods and other quite different fields of physics. The conference will bring together scientists in very different subfields, connecting optics to condensed matter to atomic physics and quantum information to particle and gravitational physics. A major objective is to provide a platform for cross fertilization between theory and experiment and between different research areas to prompt new scientific discoveries. The conference aims to promote collaboration between particle physics experts working on the design and interpretation of fundamental physics studies with quantum technologies and discussing new ideas in QM for future applications.

Image-Based Simulation for Industry (IBSim-4i) is organised by the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering, Swansea University and the Institute of Physics (IOP) with support from EPSRC and CCPi Tomographic Imaging.

Image-based meshing is the process by which 3D images (e.g., X-ray CT or laser scanning) are converted into ultra-high-resolution simulations. 3D imaging is increasingly being used in the industrial sector for inspection, non-destructive testing / evaluation (NDT/NDE) and metrology but image-based simulation is still an underutilised technique. Our aim is that the activities of IBSim-4i will facilitate a wider adoption of image-based simulation and provide a platform to discuss the cutting-edge developments in the field.

Geoscientists and engineers are very comfortable using seismic data sets acquired with geophones, hydrophones, and accelerometers because we have a long, well-defined set of standards for acquiring, processing, and interpreting them. However, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) seismic measurements are rapidly augmenting, and in some cases replacing, the data from these conventional tools. Technologists are frequently unaccustomed to using DAS seismic data sets since it directly acquires relative strain or strain rate measurements and not the more familiar pressure, displacement, velocity, and acceleration data. There are also acquisition parameter selections that must be made to optimize the acquired data to accomplish the purpose of the seismic survey. This course is designed to build an intuition and understanding of the value, limitations, and applications of DAS seismic technology. In addition to the lecture and accompanying book, software will be provided, which will allow the student to interactively explore DAS seismic technology.

While Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) has made giant strides recently for deep water subsurface imaging, the technology is lagging significantly for land and shallow water applications. Noise — whether ambient or source related — is clearly an issue, especially for the low frequencies that are so critical for successful implementation. Perhaps more problematic is the need to construct an accurate high-resolution model of the near surface. Depending on the terrain, the near surface can have large velocity contrasts, high anisotropy, high attenuation, significant heterogeneities leading to scattering, and strong multiple generators. A proper model of the near surface needs to be possibly viscoelastic and requires a fine computational grid to handle the ultra-low elastic velocities we encounter in the near surface, which may be a challenge for today’s computer capacity. To make matters worse, the near surface is often ill-sampled by cost effective 3D acquisition designs. Despite all these hurdles we are starting to see some beneficial FWI applications to land and shallow water surveys. How important are data conditioning, wavelet estimation, and the choice of the initial model? Do we have to move to elastic FWI? Can ground roll, mud roll, and multiples help rather than hinder the process? Do we need to design our surveys differently? Can we use other complementary data? What do we do with all the scattering noise? What is the role of machine learning (ML)? Is there room for improvement in acquisition? The goal of this workshop is to review the state-of-the art and investigate the next key steps to address some of these questions. Even though FWI is a potentially “complete model” of complex wave propagation, is the problem currently too difficult and too expensive that it needs help in the form of data conditioning and model conditioning? If so, what type of data conditioning and modeling conditioning?
