Knockoff procedure for false discovery rate control in high-dimensional data streams.

Motivated by applications to root-cause identification of faults in high-dimensional data streams that may have very limited samples after faults are detected, we consider multiple testing in models for multivariate statistical process control (SPC). With quick fault detection, only small portion of data streams being out-of-control (OC) can be assumed. It is a long standing problem to identify those OC data streams while controlling the number of false discoveries.

The optimal CUSUM control chart with a dynamic non-random control limit and a given sampling strategy for small samples sequence.

This article proposes a performance measure to evaluate the detection performance of a control chart with a given sampling strategy for finite or small samples sequence and prove that the CUSUM control chart with dynamic non-random control limit and a given sampling strategy can be optimal under the measure. Numerical simulations and real data for an earthquake are provided to illustrate that for different sampling strategies, the CUSUM chart will have different monitoring performance in change-point detection. Among the six sampling strategies that take only a part of samples, the numerical comparing results illustrate that the uniform sampling strategy (uniformly dispersed sampling strategy) has the best monitoring effect.

Generation of ultrahigh-brightness pre-bunched beams from a plasma cathode for X-ray free-electron lasers.

The longitudinal coherence of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) in the self-amplified spontaneous emission regime could be substantially improved if the high brightness electron beam could be pre-bunched on the radiated wavelength-scale. Here, we show that it is indeed possible to realize such current modulated electron beam at angstrom scale by exciting a nonlinear wake across a periodically modulated plasma-density downramp/plasma cathode. The density modulation turns on and off the injection of electrons in the wake while downramp provides a unique longitudinal mapping between the electrons' initial injection positions and their final trapped positions inside the wake.

Ultrabright Electron Bunch Injection in a Plasma Wakefield Driven by a Superluminal Flying Focus Electron Beam.

We propose a new method for self-injection of high-quality electron bunches in the plasma wakefield structure in the blowout regime utilizing a "flying focus" produced by a drive beam with an energy chirp. In a flying focus the speed of the density centroid of the drive bunch can be superluminal or subluminal by utilizing the chromatic dependence of the focusing optics. We first derive the focal velocity and the characteristic length of the focal spot in terms of the focal length and an energy chirp.
