The air shower simulation code CORSIKA has served as a key part of the simulation chain for numerous astroparticle physics experiments over the past decades. Due to retirement of the original developers and the increasingly difficult maintenance of the monolithic Fortran code of CORSIKA, a new air shower simulation framework has been developed over the course of the last years in C++, called CORSIKA 8. Besides the hadronic and muonic component, the electromagnetic component is one of the key constituents of an air shower. The cascade producing the electromagnetic component of an air shower is driven by bremsstrahlung and photoproduction of electron-positron pairs. At ultrahigh energies or in media with high densities, the bremsstrahlung and pair production processes are suppressed by the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect, which leads to more elongated showers compared to showers without the LPM suppression. Furthermore, photons at higher energies can produce muon pairs or interact hadronically with nucleons in the target medium, producing a muon component in electromagnetic air showers. In this contribution, we compare electromagnetic showers simulated with the latest Fortran version of CORSIKA and CORSIKA 8, which uses the library PROPOSAL for the electromagnetic component. While earlier validations of CORSIKA 8 electromagnetic showers focused on showers of lower energy, the recent implementation of the LPM effect, photo pair production of muons, and of photohadronic interactions allows now to make a physics-complete comparison also at high energies.

AI accelerators have proliferated in data centers in recent years and are now almost ubiquitous.In addition, their computational power and, most importantly, their energy efficiency are up to orders of magnitude higher than that of traditional computing.Over the last years, various methods and optimizations have been tested to use these hybrid systems for simulations in the context of astroparticle physics utilizing CORSIKA.The main focus of this talk is the propagation of optical, i.e. fluorescence and Cherenkov, photons through low density inhomogeneous media in the context of the next generation CORSIKA8 simulation framework.Different techniques used and approximations, e.g. the atmospheric model, tested during the development will be presented.The trade-off between performance and precision allows the experiment to achieve its physical precision limited to the real resolution of the experiment and not invest power and time in vanishing precision gains.The additional comparison of classical CPU-based simulations with the new methods validates these methods and allows evaluation against a known baseline.

This contribution describes some recent advances in the parallelization of the generation and processing of radio signals emitted by particle showers in CORSIKA 8. CORSIKA 8 is a Monte Carlo simulation framework for modeling ultra-high energy particle cascades in astroparticle physics.The aspects associated with the generation and processing of radio signals in antennas arrays are reviewed, focusing on the key design opportunities and constraints for deployment of multiple threads on such calculations.The audience is also introduced to Gyges, a lightweight, header-only and flexible multithread self-adaptive scheduler written compliant with C++17 and C++20, which is used to distribute and manage the worker computer threads during the parallel calculations.Finally, performance and scalability measurements are provided and the integration into CORSIKA 8 is commented.

The oxygen adatom adsorption and diffusion on the TiO2 anatase (1 0 1) and (0 0 1) surfaces are studied with the density functional theory (DFT) calculations coupled with the nudged elastic band method (NEB). The dissociation of a O2 molecule on a (0 0 1) surface is exothermic and is endothermic on a (1 0 1) surface. However, the oxygen adatom diffusion barriers on a (1 0 1) surface are lower than that on a (0 0 1) surface.

CORSIKA up to version 7 has been the most-used Monte Carlo code for simulating extensive air showers for more than 20 years.Due to its monolithic, Fortran-based software design and handoptimized code, however, it has become difficult to maintain, adapt to new computing paradigms and extend for more complex simulation needs.These limitations led to the CORSIKA 8 project, which constitutes a complete rewrite of the CORSIKA 7 core functionality in a modern, modular C++ framework.CORSIKA 8 has now reached a state that we consider "physics-complete" and a stability that already allows experts to engage in development for specific applications.It already supports the treatment of hadronic interactions with Sibyll 2.3d, QGSJet-II.04,EPOS-LHC and Pythia 8.3 and the treatment of the electromagnetic cascade with PROPOSAL 7.6.1.Particular highlights are the support for multiple interaction media, including cross-media particle showers, and an advanced calculation of the radio emission from particle showers.In this contribution, we discuss the design principles of CORSIKA 8, give an overview of the functionality implemented to date, the validation of its simulation results, and the plans for its further development.

The CORSIKA 8 project aims to develop a versatile and modern framework for particle shower simulations that meets the new needs of experiments and addresses the caveats of existing codes. Of particular relevance is the ability to compute particle showers that pass through two or more different media, of varying density, in a single run within a single code. CORSIKA 8 achieves this flexibility by using a volume tree that specifies volume containment, allowing one to quickly query to which medium a point belongs. Thanks to this design we are able to construct very specific environments with different geometries and media. As an example, we demonstrate this new functionality by running particle showers penetrating from air into Antarctic ice and validating them with a combination of the well-established CORSIKA 7 and GEANT4 codes.

CORSIKA 8 is a new framework for air shower simulations implemented in modern C++17, based on past experience with existing codes like CORSIKA 7. The flexible and modular structure of the project allows the development of independent modules that can produce a fully customizable air shower simulation. The radio module in particular is designed to treat the signal propagation and electric field calculation to each antenna in an autonomous and flexible way. It provides the possibility to simulate simultaneously the radio emission calculated with two independent time-domain formalisms, the “Endpoint formalism” as implemented in CoREAS and the “ZHS” algorithm as ported from ZHAireS. Future development for the simulation of radio emission from particle showers in complex scenarios, for example cross-media showers penetrating from air into ice, can build on the existing radio module, re-using the established interfaces. In this work, we will present the design and implementation of the radio module in CORSIKA 8, and show a direct comparison of radio emission from air showers simulated with CORSIKA 8, CORSIKA 7 and ZHAireS.

With more computation tasks being pushed towards the edge, it becomes increasingly challenging to decide the right hardware approach for running edge AI tasks. Besides customized AI accelerators, existing hardware platforms such as FPGAs have been employed to support edge computing. Recently, small GPUs have also been developed to run AI tasks that are tailored for edge. While each platform exhibits its own advantages, the shortcomings are also identified. In this work, we present a study where a head to head comparison is conducted by running the same CNN on two popular edge platforms, FPGAs and GPUs. We compare multiple dimensions such as power, inference speed, ease of development and accuracy. The comparison results can provide an initial guidance for edge computing developers who don’t have immediate access to both platforms.

Despite years of research on materials, there is still a limited supply of suitable scintillators that can withstand intense radiation, have ultrafast decay times (around 10 nanoseconds), and produce high light yields (over 2000 photons per MeV). The baseline technology for most radiation intense Electron-Ion Collider Electromagnetic Calorimetry (EIC) EMCal uses the well-established and well-understood (but costly) lead tungstate (PbWO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</inf> ) crystal calorimetry. However, this material has shown significant radiation damage resulting in loss of collected signal. In this study, we show that scintillators based on gallium oxide (β-Ga <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> O <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> ) have great potential for high count rate applications. We used the optical float zone (OFZ) technique to grow low-cost β-Ga <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> O <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> scintillators and tested several dopants and growth atmospheres to achieve a balance between fast primary decay time and light yield. We have obtained the highest light yields of 6476 ± 719 photons per MeV and decay times as fast as 12 nanoseconds. Additionally, we obtained an excellent energy resolution of 7% for 662 keV gamma rays using β-Ga <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> O <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> :Ce crystals. Interestingly, the gamma radiation resistance of β-Ga <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> O <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> crystals was better than that of the leading radiation-hard lead tungstate (PbWO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</inf> ) crystals. To test the radiation hardness of the scintillators, we subjected twenty-six scintillators made from the grown β-Ga <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> O <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> crystals to a <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">60</sup> Co gamma irradiation rate of 14 krad/h, with a total radiation dose of 2 Mrad, and found that their scintillation properties remained unchanged. These FZ-grown low-cost, non-hygroscopic, and high-density β-Ga <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> O <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> scintillators have the potential to replace existing scintillators in many applications, including nuclear and high energy physics experiments, as well as nuclear security.

The proton-proton collision rate at the High Luminosity LHC will impose significant challenges on the data acquisition system used to read out the CMS Cathode-Strip Chamber (CSC) Muon detectors.These chambers are located in the endcap regions of the CMS detector, and those closest to the beam line encounter a particularly high particle flux.To address these issues, a major upgrade of the electronics used in the CSC system has been undertaken.A key part of this upgrade is the development of new Optical Data-acquistion MotherBoards (ODMBs), which collect both the anode-wire and cathode-strip data.The ODMBs feature powerful Xilinx Field Programmable Gate arrays and include interfaces with high-speed optical transceivers operating at up to 12.5 Gb/s.The requirements, design, implementation, and testing of the ODMBs will be discussed, and the performance of prototype boards will be presented.

Measurements of Higgs boson properties in events where the Higgs boson decays into a pair of photons are presented.The measurements are based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV collected by the CMS detector at the LHC from 2016 to 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb -1 .All major Higgs production modes (gluon fusion, vector boson fusion, vector boson associated production, and production associated with top quarks) are considered in the analysis.Properties of the Higgs boson, including standard model signal strength modifiers, production cross sections, and its couplings to other particles, are found to be in agreement with the standard model expectations.

The mass spectra of heavy quarkonia are calculated with the relativistic quark model. The effective interaction between a quark and an antiquark of the same flavor is assumed to be the sum of the one-gluon exchange with the inclusion of annihilation terms and the mixture of scalar and vector linear confining potentials with the relativisic corrections. The effects of the annihilation and the relativistic correction terms on the hyperfine splittings of quarkonium states are discussed in detail,and a good fit to the observed experimental data is obtained on the mass spectra.
