Probing non-standard neutrino interactions with supernova neutrinos at Hyper-K by Minjie Lei, Noah Steinberg, James D. Wells

“…We pass the resulting neutrino flux to a simulation of the future Hyper-Kamiokande detector to see what constraints on NSSI parameters are possible when the next galactic supernova becomes visible. We find that these constraints depend strongly on the neutrino mass hierarchy and if the NSSI is flavor-violating or preserving. …”

Spatial Characteristics and Influence of Topography and Synoptic Systems on PM2.5 in the Eastern Monsoon Region of China by Shengli Zhu, Zhaowen Wang, Kai Qu, Jun Xu, Ji Zhang, Haiyi Yang, Wenxin Wang, Xiao Sui, Min Wei, Houfeng Liu

“…According to synoptic systems, regional PM2.5 pollution episodes were classified into three categories, including Uniform Pressure field (UP, 60.00%), Pre-High Pressure (PreHP, 30.91%) and Inverted-Trough (IT, 9.09%). The K-Means algorithm combined with the HYSPLIT backward trajectory clustering analysis indicated four clusters under UP controlled, and under weak pressure field was responsible for the elevation of PM2.5 concentration, where the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas were the most polluted region. …”
