Q: barplot xlim shifts axis -> offset to axis at=midpoints missing I have the following problem – it is purely an ascetic one but it bothers me that it is not looking nicely:
I generate a simple sideways barplot with ticks at the bottom of the bars. The default setting generates an x-axis which is shorter than my bars (figure 1). To solve this I included xlim. Once I do that the x-axis is slightly shifted to the left so the y-axis is touching the bars (figure 2). This does not look nice at all. I guess xlim somehow overwrite a default parameter but I could not find which. I would be grateful for any suggestions!
rm(list=ls())

data<-c(69,500,597)
names(data)<-c("text1", "text2", "text3")

midpoints<-barplot(data, beside=T, space=1, xlim=c(0,600))

filename=paste("orig.pdf", sep="")
pdf(file=filename, width=10, height =5)

par(mar=c(4,9,1,4))
barplot(data, beside=T, xlab=expression(paste("Text")),
        axes=T, cex.lab=2, cex.axis=2, cex.names=2,  font.axis = 2,
        col=c("grey"),  horiz=T, las=1, font.lab=2,  space=1,
        names.arg=colnames(data))
axis(side = 2, at = midpoints , labels = F, cex.axis=1.5)

dev.off()

filename=paste("with_limit.pdf", sep="")
pdf(file=filename, width=10, height =5)

lim<-c(0,600)
par(mar=c(4,9,1,4))
barplot(data, beside=T, xlab=expression(paste("Text")),
        axes=T, cex.lab=2, cex.axis=2, cex.names=2,  font.axis = 2,
        col=c("grey"),  horiz=T, las=1, font.lab=2,  space=1,
        names.arg=colnames(data), xlim=lim)
axis(side = 2, at = midpoints , labels = F, cex.axis=1.5)

dev.off()

Figure 1

Figure 2

A: Meanwhile I did find two possible answers both not perfect but working.
The first one is to work with xaxs="r" but for my taste now the offset is too large.
filename=paste("solution1.pdf", sep="")
pdf(file=filename, width=10, height =5)

lim<-c(0,600)
par(mar=c(4,9,1,4))
barplot(data, beside=T, xlab=expression(paste("Text")),
        axes=T, cex.lab=2, cex.axis=2, cex.names=2,  font.axis = 2,
        col=c("grey"),  horiz=T, las=1, font.lab=2,  space=1,
        names.arg=colnames(data), xlim=lim, xaxs="r")
axis(side = 2, at = midpoints , labels = F, cex.axis=1.5)

dev.off()

Solution1
The second option is to have xlim starting in the negative. This has the disadvantage of tuning the offset by hand. In my case I had multiple figures and I wanted it always to be the same so I used (here) 2% of the maximum 600 -> 12. For all others I also used 2% of the maximum. That worked nicely in the end.
filename=paste("solution2.pdf", sep="")
pdf(file=filename, width=10, height =5)

lim<-c(-12,600)
par(mar=c(4,9,1,4))
barplot(data, beside=T, xlab=expression(paste("Text")),
        axes=T, cex.lab=2, cex.axis=2, cex.names=2,  font.axis = 2,
        col=c("grey"),  horiz=T, las=1, font.lab=2,  space=1,
        names.arg=colnames(data), xlim=lim)
axis(side = 2, at = midpoints , labels = F, cex.axis=1.5)

dev.off()

santacruzbullit5 (Nov 15, 2010 at 4:35)

wish there was a like button for your comment....LIKE
Fair play! that is Pretty damn Epic as Pictures go... Rider is Bloody Brave = D Uber man points for that.
Nice shot too. I thought the landing was the bottom left hand Corner but he doesnt seem to be pointing that direction.
He dropped off pretty quick after the shot!
icklerachy (Nov 15, 2010 at 10:58)
Did he land it smooth? or was it a bit of a ankle acher?
Yeah pretty smooth...huge compression but rode it out nicely

Awesome shot, amazing skills, worthy of P.O.D...I bow to your courage. Back in the day I used to think I was a big shot, but after seeing what guys are doing today, I was just curb hopping by comparison. Great camera work. Keep em coming.
cameronhunterphoto (Nov 9, 2010 at 8:17)
Hi All I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the History of this drop...who built it, when it was built? what films it has been in and how many and who has hit it !!
north-shore-bike-shop Plus (Nov 11, 2010 at 1:01)
Digger built it for NSX9, Super T hit it first, then Vanderham, then I'm not sure if Brad Walton or myself hit it next, and by NSX 9 everyone had seen it, and many people had hit it by the end of its second year.
Oh yeah before it was the Toonie Drop Geoff Gulevich had just the smaller version built "Loonie Drop" as it's now called (but with a far smaller and techier tranny so it was actually a legit stunt).
Oh yeah I didn't drop enough names so here's some more. Gully's original drop was featured for a long time in bike. It was a nice green pic with Gully dropping off the rock with no tranny in the shot and he was tweaking the bar towards the camera (to his left).
Ken Maude, North Shore riding legend, now owner of Lynn Valley Bikes, and I were hanging out and chatting about stuff when he noticed the pic in Bike and told me that Todd (Digger) had just finished building this ridiculous version of the same drop. I talked to digger about it, went and saw the drop before Super-T ever hit it, but had to digest it for almost a year before I hit it.
I actually took Kevin Landry there one time to show him where it was so he could hit it and film it, but when we got there Landry wasn't feeling it that day. I actually was and ended up hitting it. I went back a week later and hit it for Digger's cameras two times. My first jump with Digger wasn't so smooth due to poor foot placement and it's the one where you hear the loud bottom out in the overhead shot in NSX 9. My second jump for Digger (third overall) was great - it was the slo-mo static shot in NSX 9.
Man I'm exhausted now from lifting up all these names to drop them on you guys...
cameronhunterphoto (Nov 11, 2010 at 8:31)
Thanks for the hard work of giving us a little NS History, I am stoked to have gotten to shoot such an epic and respected feature on the shore, I just borrowed a copy of nsx 9 and going to check it out today...
think we could get all the originals who hit together there for a photo op?
leelau Plus (Nov 11, 2010 at 17:26)
You're not a bad rider for a xc dude MJ!

\section{}
One of the main objectives of contemporary astroparticle physics is solving the Dark Matter enigma. Among several hypothetical particles that might account for Dark Matter, WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) play a central role, see, e.g., \cite{Taoso}.
The aim of the CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) experiment is the direct detection of WIMPs via coherent elastic scattering off the nuclei in a terrestrial target \cite{cresst},\cite{cresst1}. Such an interaction causes a recoil of the nuclei. The recoil energy is transformed into phonons and - to a much lesser extent - into light. Background radiation, mainly $\gamma$'s and $\beta$'s, interacting electromagnetically induce electron recoils, the energy of which is also transformed into phonons and light. Compared to nuclear recoils of the same energy the light yield is much larger \cite{cresst},\cite{cresst1}. Due to the different light yields a very efficient discrimination of the background induced by $\gamma$'s and $\beta$'s is achieved.The detection scheme employed in the second phase of CRESST and possibly also in the future EURECA (European Underground Rare Event Calorimeter Array) experiment \cite{EURECA} is based on low-temperature detectors using the phonon-light technique, i.e., the simultaneous measurement of the phonons and the scintillation light induced by incident particles in a CaWO$_4$ target single crystal operated at mK temperatures. The phonons are detected by a superconducting transition edge sensor (TES) \cite{Proebst} on the CaWO$_4$ crystal. The scintillation light is measured by a separate low-temperature light detector based on high-purity silicon or silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) substrates, also equipped with a TES, which measures the phonons generated in the substrate by the photons.

The fraction of the deposited energy in a CaWO$_4$ crystal due to electron recoils detected as light is at the $1\%$ level and this fraction is further reduced for nuclear recoils by the so-called quenching factor (QF) with QF$\gtrsim$10 \cite{cresst1},\cite{Bavykina}. Due to the small number of photons absorbed in the light detector, for nuclear recoils the energy threshold and resolution of the light channel are dominated by electronic noise. To improve the threshold as well as the resolution of the light channel, more sensitive light detectors are needed.

Following Neganov and Trofimov \cite{neganov} and Luke \cite{luke}, the energy threshold of a low-temperature light detector employing a semiconducting substrate can be improved by drifting the photon-induced electron-hole pairs by an applied electric field. Due to the heat dissipated in the substrate by the drifting electron-hole pairs the phonon signal is amplified. If the generated charge is completely collected, the resulting thermal gain $G_t$ is given by
\begin{equation}\label{Neganov-Luke}
G_t=1+\frac{eV}{\epsilon}
\end{equation}
\noindent where $V$ denotes the bias (Neganov-Luke) voltage, $e$ the electron charge and $\epsilon$ the energy needed to create an electron-hole pair. Detectors exploiting this heat-amplification technique have been investigated for applications in neutrino physics \cite{Akerib}. A detector of the Neganov-Luke type for 122 keV $\gamma$-rays of $^{57}$Co has been described in \cite{Spooner}: Ohmic contacts were set up on two opposite faces of a Si crystal. These were covered by Al layers on both faces. For visible light, however, two main problems arise: The Al layer reflects most of the visible light and, even more important, the light is absorbed within a thin surface layer. A low-threshold cryogenic light detector with Neganov-Luke amplification has been described in Ref. \cite{Stark}. However, these first results showed that the performance of such a cryogenic light detector was seriously impeded by excess noise when a Neganov-Luke voltage was applied.  Because of surface defects and traps, drifting electron-hole pairs imposes a challenging problem which we have tried to solve.

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.36\textwidth]{setup_new}
\caption{\small{Schematic view of the frontside of the composite light detector. It consists of a 20$\times$20$\times$0.5 mm$^3$ silicon absorber and a small (3$\times$5$\times$0.5 mm$^3$) Si substrate carrying the TES. The small substrate is coupled to the absorber by gluing. The absorber is equipped with two (19$\times$0.2) mm$^2$ aluminum electrodes for the application of the Neganov-Luke voltage. The backside of the absorber is exposed to the light source.}}
\label{setup}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The low-temperature light detectors developed here \cite{Isaila},\cite{IsailaNIM} are based on the composite detector design (CDD) \cite{Roth}. A schematic view of the setup is depicted in Fig. \ref{setup}. The TES is evaporated onto a small (3$\times$5$\times$0.5 mm$^3$) Si disk which is then glued to a 20$\times$20$\times$0.5 mm$^3$ Si plate acting as light absorber. The room-temperature resistivity of the Si is $>$ 10 k$\Omega$cm. For the application of the Neganov-Luke voltage the absorber is equipped with two Al electrodes (19$\times$0.2 mm$^2$ each, separated by $\sim$17 mm) directly evaporated onto the absorber.

The TES used here consists of an Ir/Au bilayer \cite{Nagel} exhibiting a superconducting transition temperature of $\sim$30 mK. A TES is operated within the narrow transition region between the normal and the superconducting state. In this way, the resistance of the film becomes highly dependent on temperature, such that particle interactions that induce a temperature rise of the film also increase the film resistance which is measured via a current change picked up by a SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device). As compared to the Neganov-Luke detector used in Ref. \cite{Stark}, the new design offers several advantages: It provides almost unhindered access of the light to a large surface, since the backside of the absorber is exposed to the light source. The drifting of the electron-hole pairs occurs through the bulk, not along the surface. In addition, the CDD insures that no Au atoms of the TES can diffuse into the Si absorber and create traps and that the electronic SQUID read-out is electrically decoupled from the Neganov-Luke voltage \cite{Isaila}.

In this Letter we want to show two aspects: I) The energy calibration of our light detectors can be accomplished by pulses from a light-emitting diode (LED); II) The Neganov-Luke effect provides an amplification of the light signal and leads to an improvement of the energy threshold as well as the energy resolution. In particular, we demonstrate that the excess noise observed in Ref. \cite{Stark} can be avoided to a large extent.

I) \textit{Calibration.} For the calibration the following scheme was adopted: Light pulses with a length of 500 ns were generated by an InGaN LED\footnote{The LED was operated at room temperature. The light pulses were guided to the low-temperature (mK) region by fiber optic. No significant ($\ll$1mK) temperature rise was observed when the LED pulses were switched on.} and the resulting pulse-height spectra of the detector for a set of light intensities were recorded. The wavelength ($\lambda\approx$ 430 nm corresponding to a photon energy of $\sim$2.9 eV) emitted by the LED matches the spectral output ($\lambda_{\rm{CaWO_4}}\approx$ 443 nm at T=8 K) of the CaWO$_4$ crystal \cite{Mikhailik}. The light peaks were fitted by Gaussian distributions. In the following, the energy of a given light peak is inferred from the peak width of the Gaussian and the corresponding peak position. The total observed width $\sigma_{tot}$ of a light peak induced in a low-temperature light detector depends on several parameters, in particular on electronic noise $\sigma_{el}$, position dependence $\sigma_{pos}$, charge trapping $\sigma_{tr}$, photon statistics $\sigma_{ph}$, and possibly unknown other contributions. We assume $\sigma_{el}$, $\sigma_{tr}$, and $\sigma_{pos}$ to be independent of energy and summarize these three contributions by the constant $\sigma_0$. In addition, we assume $\sigma_{ph}$ and $\sigma_0$ to be independent of each other and to follow Gaussian distributions.
Thus, for the investigated detector the total width $\sigma_{tot}^2$ can be written as:
\begin{equation}
\sigma_{tot}^2 = \sigma_{ph}^2+\sigma_0^2.
\end{equation}
\noindent
Here, the photon statistics is being considered as Gaussian due to the large number of photons associated with a typical calibration light pulse. Assuming a linear response to the energy deposited by $N$ photons, the measured peak position $x$ (derived from the pulse height) and the corresponding peak width $\sigma_{ph}$ (photon statistics) scale as
\begin{eqnarray}\label{xaN}
x&=&aN\\
\sigma_{ph}&=&a\sigma_N=a\sqrt{N}=\sqrt{ax},
\end{eqnarray}
\noindent where $a$ denotes the scaling factor and $\sigma_N$ the standard deviation of the fluctuating number of absorbed photons which equals $\sqrt{N}$ according to Poisson counting statistics. The relationship between the measured peak position $x$ and the peak width $\sigma_{tot}$ can now be written as
\begin{equation}\label{as0}
\sigma_{tot}=\sqrt{\sigma_0^2+a^2\sigma_N^2}=\sqrt{\sigma_0^2+a^2N}=\sqrt{\sigma_0^2+ax}.
\end{equation}
\noindent We applied this calibration procedure to our light detector. The parameters $\sigma_0$ and $a$ have been derived by fitting $\sigma_{tot}^2 = \sigma_{ph}^2+ax$ to a measured ($x$,$\sigma_{tot}$) set obtained by varying the intensity of the light pulses provided by the LED. This fit is shown in Fig. \ref{xsi} together with the measured widths $\sigma_{tot}$ of the light peaks versus their positions $x$.

\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{Calibration_energy.pdf}
\caption{\small{Top: Measured peak width $\sigma_{tot}$ of the light peaks versus peak position $x$ fitted by the function $\sigma_{tot}^2 = \sigma_{ph}^2+ax$. The error bars indicate the 1$\sigma$ statistical error. The scale at the top (right) gives the peak positions (widths) in energy units using a photon energy of 2.9 eV emitted by the LED to convert $x$ and $\sigma_{tot}$ into energy. Bottom: Difference (in ADC Channels) between experimental and fitted results. No systematic deviation can be noticed.}}
\label{xsi}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The fitted values for the parameters $a$ and $\sigma_0$ are \cite{Isaila}
\begin{eqnarray}\label{a}
a&=&0.423\pm 0.002\\
\label{sigma0}
\sigma_0&=&3.21\pm 0.03
\end{eqnarray}
where the units for a and $\sigma_{0}$ are given in analog-to-digital converter (ADC) channels of the SQUID response.

The pulse heights of the light detector are determined by standard event fits\footnote{In the standard event fit procedure a pulse template (standard event) is obtained by averaging a set of normalized pulses of similar energy. This standard event is fitted to each pulse with three free parameters: baseline offset of the pulse, trigger time offset, and amplitude, the latter being a measure of the energy of the pulse.} which can also be used to estimate the energy threshold $E_{th}$ of the detector from randomly acquired noise samples which result in a peak at zero energy. This peak can be fitted by a Gaussian distribution. For the characterization of our detector, as a figure of merit we define $E_{th}$ as the 5$\sigma$ width of this peak. Using the scaling factor of eq. (\ref{a}) together with eq. (\ref{xaN}), this 5$\sigma$ value can be related to a photon number $N_{th}$. With a photon energy of the InGaN LED of $\sim$2.9 eV we derive from the noise samples an energy threshold of $E_{th}$=$N_{th} \cdot$2.9 eV=118$\pm$1 eV for this detector.

From the LED-calibration data we can also obtain a value for $E_{th}$: Using eqs. (\ref{a}) and (\ref{xaN}) together with the value 5$\sigma_0$ (see eq. (\ref{sigma0})) we get $E_{th}$=110$\pm$2 eV.

In addition, a $^{55}$Fe source was used to check this calibration method. The result obtained from the 5.9 keV $^{55}$Mn$_{K_{\alpha}}$-line is $E_{th}$=119$\pm$2 eV. All three derived energy thresholds are in reasonable agreement, thus validating the above-mentioned calibration method and assumptions for such a type of light detector.

In the phonon-light detection scheme, a low-tem\-perature light detector is always operated in coincidence with a phonon signal generated at the same time as the light signal. This phonon signal usually provides the trigger information. Therefore, the 5$\sigma$ width of the noise peak obtained for light detectors in off-line analysis can indeed be considered as their relevant energy threshold.

From the values obtained for $a$ and $\sigma_0$ it becomes evident that the peak width recorded with the light detector is dominated by photon statistics at energies in the keV regime, i.e., $ax\gg \sigma_0^2$. Both contributions, $\sigma_0$ and $\sigma_{ph}$, to the measured peak width are equal for a photon number of $N$$\sim$58. With a photon energy of 2.9 eV this corresponds to an energy of $N\cdot 2.9\approx$170 eV. Below this energy, the peak width in the light detector is dominated by $\sigma_0$, which in turn is mainly determined by electronic and magnetic noise. Since the relevant nuclear recoil-energy region for CRESST is $\lesssim$40 keV and QF$\gtrsim$10, the energy detected as light from nuclear recoils is $<$40 eV (i.e., much below 170 eV).
It can therefore be expected that an amplification of the light signal as provided by the Neganov-Luke effect improves both the energy threshold as well as the energy resolution for nuclear recoils.

II) \textit{Neganov-Luke amplification.} To verify this expectation we used this detector for a new set of measurements even under more difficult conditions due to the presence of considerable electronic noise, e.g., concerning applications at an accelerator beamline \cite{Ciemniak}. In fact, the energy threshold without applying a Neganov-Luke voltage increased to 5$\sigma\sim$185 eV.
When applying a Neganov-Luke voltage to a light detector based on this design the signal is distorted due to the occurrence of additional noise, which is mainly contained in the frequency region below 10 kHz \cite{Isaila}. This, however, is exactly the frequency region characterizing the phonon signals. It is therefore very likely that the additional noise originates from loosely bound electrons and holes that escape from their shallow trapping sites when applying a voltage to the silicon substrate. In this way, they can be drifted by the applied voltage inducing a small phonon signal corresponding to the observed noise. Since the number of these trapping sites is finite the level of this additional noise decreases with time. Therefore, in order to erode the shallow traps present in the silicon substrate more efficiently a voltage higher by 30 V than the nominal voltage intended to be used is first applied to the detector for $\sim$30 min and thereafter reduced to the nominal voltage \cite{Isaila}. This procedure heavily suppresses the noise level in the low-frequency region up to nominal voltages of $\sim$150 V. In particular, the excess noise first discussed in Ref. \cite{Stark} can be tremendously reduced.\footnote{At still higher voltages (e.g., 200 V), additional shot-noise like distortions lead to a substantially increased noise level. This noise does not change significantly with time. Therefore, it has to be of a different origin than the additional noise observed at low voltages and will not be considered here.}

The noise level, however, is only slightly increased.}}
\label{pulses}
\end{figure}

A typical example is depicted in Fig. \ref{pulses}. The top panel exhibits a light pulse with no voltage applied. The bottom panel shows the amplified signal for a light pulse of identical intensity at a Neganov-Luke voltage of 100 V. Amplification by a factor of $\sim$12 is achieved with an improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) by a factor of $\sim$9.

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.63\textwidth]{NeganovLukeAll.pdf}
\caption{\small{Amplification factor and improvement factor of the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and of the improvement of the energy resolution relative to 0 V for voltages in the range between 0 and 150 V applied by the procedure described in the main text. At 100 V an improvement of S/N by a factor of $\sim$9 is achieved. The improvement of the energy resolution for light pulses of $\sim$615 eV amounts to $\sim$10$\%$ at 150 V. The (statistical) error bars are smaller than the symbols used.}}
\label{gainsn}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Fig. \ref{gainsn} shows the amplification factor, as well as the improvement factor (left ordinate) of S/N and the improvement of the relative energy resolution (right ordinate) compared to 0 V for voltages in the range between 0 and 150 V applied by the method described above. At voltages higher than 50 V the improvement factor of S/N is less than the amplification factor due to additional noise. At still higher voltages a saturation of both the amplification and the S/N is observed. This saturation behaviour might be explained in terms of higher trap densities created by eroding the shallow traps at high voltages. The number of drifting charge carriers is then reduced by these additional traps. An optimal performance is found at a Neganov-Luke voltage in the range of $\sim$150 V. As mentioned above (see footnote 2), at still higher voltages additional shot-noise like distortions appear.

At 150 V, an amplification factor of $\sim13$ is reached. According to eq. (\ref{Neganov-Luke}), an amplification by a factor of $\sim34$ is expected. There are several reasons why the theoretical value has not been reached \cite{Isaila}, the main reason being that the charge carriers might be trapped on their way to the electrodes before traversing the full potential V. The improvement of the S/N by a factor of $\sim$9 corresponds to an energy threshold of $E_{th}\approx$(185/9) eV $\approx$ 21 eV.

Concerning the energy resolution, our data (see Fig. \ref{gainsn}) show that with a Neganov-Luke voltage of 150 V an improvement by $\sim10\%$ at an energy of $\sim$615 eV (corresponding to a photon number of $N$=615/2.9$\approx$212) is obtained. It can be expected that at light energies $<$40 eV (caused by nuclear recoils) where $\sigma_{tot}$ is mainly determined by electronic noise an even larger improvement of the energy resolution can be reached when a Neganov-Luke voltage is applied. A lower limit is given by the energy threshold of $\sim$21 eV mentioned above. These aspects, in particular, the voltage dependence of the energy resolution (see Fig. \ref{gainsn}) will be investigated in future measurements.

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.63\textwidth]{Regeneration.pdf}
\caption{\small{Regeneration cycles of a low-temperature light detector with Neganov-Luke amplification. Space charges can be removed by switching off the voltage and by flushing the detector for $\sim$10 s with light from the LED. Here, two regeneration cycles are depicted.}}
\label{regeneration}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The low-temperature light detectors based on this design suffer from space charges that build up with time at the Al electrodes compensating the applied voltage which in turn leads to a decreasing pulse height with time. To remove these space charges (regeneration), the voltage is turned off and the detector is flushed with the light from a LED. Light pulses of 5 ms length (as compared to 500 ns for the calibration pulses) and a repetition rate of 50 Hz were used. In this way, the space charges can be removed within $\sim$10 s reestablishing the initial amplification. A possible temperature rise of the detector due to the flushing procedure is neutralized within a few seconds after switching off the LED. Fig. \ref{regeneration} shows the results obtained with this regeneration procedure applied two times during a running time of $\sim$3.3 h demonstrating the effectiveness of this method. Clearly, the build-up of the space charges depends on the count rate. However, due to the low count rates ($\sim$1 Hz) in deep underground laboratories, e.g., for the CRESST experiment in the Gran Sasso mountain, at most one regeneration process for every 24 h is estimated to be necessary. Therefore, the interruptions of data taking associated with the regeneration of the light detectors and the time for applying the Neganov-Luke voltage will not be significant. In addition, the reduction in pulse height with time can be monitored and taken into account using a reference light source (LED) emitting short light pulses which can easily be discriminated from the relatively long light pulses originating from the scintillating CaWO$_4$ crystal \cite{Isaila}.

In conclusion, we have shown that using the Neganov-Luke effect the signal-to-noise ratio of low-temperature light detectors can be increased by a factor of $\sim$9 leading to a drastically improved energy threshold of $\sim$21 eV. Excess noise observed with previous designs of cryogenic Neganov-Luke type detectors has been avoided. Pulses from a light-emitting diode (LED) can be used for the energy calibration. Space charges that build up at the metal electrodes and lead to a reduction of signal amplification  with time can be removed within a few seconds by flushing the detector with the light from the LED. As an example for the enormous relevance of such detectors, a possible application for the dark-matter search with the CRESST and EURECA experiments has been pointed out.

Home Depot is a industry leader in home improvement with over 2,000 stores in North America. They believe in fostering an interconnected retail experience, where shopping on your phone feels as indistinguishable as possible from browsing at a brick and mortar location. They provide great customer experience with unparalleled product authority to create a phenomenal experience for every buyer, every day.
Home Depot's goal is to make home improvement as seamless as possible, whether you're in store, talking with a home assistant, or creating your dream kitchen on Pinterest. They facilitate this through their robust product catalog, knowledgeable staff, and massive database of buyer and product data.
Their challenge is tying all their data sources and purchase platforms together in one place. After all, how do you make sure that shopping online feels like talking to a friendly guide in an orange apron? The answer is simple: by annotating those datasets and leveraging the inherent advantage of that proprietary data itself.
Shoppers who search are three times as likely to purchase as shoppers who just browse. If you're a retailer in a crowded vertical like home improvement, you need a search experience that converts your searchers into buyers. After all, they know what they want. Your goal is to help them find it.
Home Depot fine-tunes its search experience by running several different types of annotation and labeling jobs through the Figure Eight platform. Since their product inventory comes from myriad manufacturers who use differing words, images, and measurements to describe their products, one of Home Depot's main goals is to standardize products across their search experience.
They run jobs to determine which product images are lifestyle images vs. product images vs. detail images so that every search shows similar photos shoppers can compare and contrast. They use Figure Eight's platform to score their in-house search algorithms, making sure that relevant products are being surfaced during the shopping experience. They do similar work with their recommendation engine, tying tools, products, and more together, making it easier for a customer to buy everything he or she needs for their current home improvement project. They even do bounding box image labeling to make their partnership with Pinterest successful.
In other words, Home Depot is successfully leveraging the data their market share and reputation have rewarded them with. They have interesting data–and they have a lot of it–and they're using it to make every customer experience, no matter how they're shopping, a whole lot better.

Q: How to add Arguments to powershellinstance in C# I have a powershell script i need to execute it using c#
string psData = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@"C:\Users\m\Desktop\power.ps1");
        using (PowerShell PowerShellInstance = PowerShell.Create())

Using above code script is executing but how can i pass arguments to shell script
I have changed code
string psData = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@"C:\Users\m\Desktop\power.ps1");
        Process pr = new Process();
        var processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()

            UseShellExecute = false
        };
        pr.StartInfo = processStartInfo;
        pr.Start();
        pr.WaitForExit();

A: Use AddArgument Method.
More Info -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.management.automation.powershell.addargument?view=pscore-6.2.0
-------- Old Answer-----------------
Not Sure about How to do it via PowerShellInstance class, But you can use Process class for invoking PowerShell script with argument.
var file = @"C:\<Directory>\GetServices.ps1";
var processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()
{
    FileName = "powershell.exe",
    Arguments = $"-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted \"{ps1File}\"",
    UseShellExecute = false
};
Process.Start(startInfo);

  string psData = @"C:\Users\manis\Desktop\test.ps1";
    Process pr = new Process();
    var processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()
    {
        FileName = "powershell.exe",

I vow to my dying day not to give away the last chapter of Stupidest Angel 2.0, Chris for those of us who haven't read it yet .... but ..... I WAS ALMOST RIGHT. And the reason I say this is because usually before the end of a book or movie I tend to blurt out the ending. What a nice Xmas gift for ME early. Thank you.
That is a great quote!! I printed it out and it is now on the side of my computer at work. It's hallowed ground.
I liked the 2.0 ending. It made me feel all warm and goo-ey. I heart Roberto.


Is there really nothing you can do?
To make children think about their rights and responsibilities.
To focus on the belief that children can contribute towards the betterment of their communities.
To provide a tangible opportunity to raise funds for a hospital, thereby practically demonstrating how children can contribute.
To introduce children to the concept of petitions as a tool for making their views heard.

THE first season of the Northern Rugby Football Union was described by Warrington secretary, J. E. Warren, as 'the most remarkable in the history of the club.' His comments were made in the club's annual report at the end of the historic 1895/96 campaign.
He said some of the club's members expressed doubt 'over the wisdom of the leap in the dark.' But he felt the opening season results had justified the committee's decision to join the 21 other clubs in the breakaway from the Rugby Football Union.
Mr. Warren, elected president of the NRFU in 1897, continued in his report: "Reforms have been introduced into the game which I feel sure have made it more popular with the spectators.
"Partly through this reason, but mainly through being favoured with an extraordinary mild winter, the money taken at the 'gates' was greater than in any preceding year."
The opening matches were played on Saturday, September 7, 1895 and the results were: Bradford 11 Wakefield Trinity 0, Leigh 3 Leeds 6, Tyldesley 6 Manningham 0, Batley 7 Hull 3, Stockport 0 Brighouse 5, Liversedge 0 Halifax 5, Runcorn 15 Widnes 4, St. Helens 8 Rochdale Hornets 3, Broughton Rangers 0 Wigan 9. Huddersfield and Oldham had no fixture.
Warrington began with a 5-4 win at home to Hunslet. Foden was the try scorer with Burton adding the conversion.
The year ended with Warrington in 13th place in the NRFU.
However, the season did not pass without controversy.
A ceiling of six shillings per day was set on the broken time payments which had forced the rugby divide but the first to challenge the ceiling was Warrington.
The first team decided to strike in October claiming 12/- as their expenses. Warrington's committee ignored the claim and promoted the second team.
Mr. Warren stated in the annual report that the committee's stance had the heartiest support and earned for the club the respect of the other clubs in the union.
Right from the start the new organisation's administrators were alive to the need to make their game even more attractive to the paying customer so that they would be able to recompense their players.
At the end of the first season the competition was so keen, the playing standards so high and the crowds so good that many more clubs rushed to join the pioneers.
At the first annual meeting at the George Hotel in August 1896 it was announced that 59 clubs were in membership.
To boost the game's popularity further, the Northern Union launched the Challenge Cup for all member clubs and the first final was staged at Headingley, Leeds, on May 1, 1897.
A crowd of around 14,000 paid £620 to see the game in which the 'Gallant Youths' of Batley beat St Helens 10-3 in a game played to standard Rugby Union rules.
Then came new rules. Goals, however kicked, were to count as two points and line-outs were abolished to make way for the 'punt out' from touch.
It was in 1898 that the game adopted the policy which made professionalism a fundamental part of the Northern game. A four-point charter agreed that professionalism be adopted, players properly registered, players to have 'legitimate' employment in a full time job and 'severe penalties' imposed for breaches of the charter.
This obviously brought many problems but some of them were humerous. Shady jobs such as billiard marker, bookies runner and pub waiter were definitely taboo!
And it was also in 1898 that Warrington moved to their Wilderspool Stadium home. A 10-year lease was agreed with Greenall Whitley for land on the east side of their existing ground, a pitch previously used by Latchford Rovers Rugby Club.
It was necessary to move because the existing pitch was needed to build houses in Fletcher Street and £251 was spent on removing some of the fencing to establish the boundaries of what virtually became Wilderspool Stadium.

Genting Says Latest Casino Will Make It World's Top 3
Genting Bhd., the Malaysian gaming operator that's expanding into Singapore, said revenue from its latest venture will make it the world's third-largest casino operator within a decade. Its shares extended gains to a record.
"To be the top three, you need to show some real revenue, and the revenue for this project will form a substantial part of the target," Genting Chief Executive Officer Lim Kok Thay said in an interview yesterday. "We'll start to see that in the fourth to fifth year" after the resort opens in 2010.
Genting, currently the fifth-biggest casino-operator by market value, was chosen last week to develop a USD 3.4 billion resort in Singapore. Its proposal, which includes a Universal Studios theme park, aims to woo gamblers from Southeast Asia, India and China, and as far away as Europe and the U.S.
"Winning this project has been extremely important for Genting," said Jorry Noeddekaer, who helps manage $ 1 billion of Asian stocks at New Star Asset Management in London. "When it comes to the high-roller segment, scale can help because it makes sense to offer several casinos as part of their services."
Genting, which runs two casinos in Malaysia, also owns the U.K.'s biggest casino-operator and Asia's biggest cruise line. The Kuala Lumpur-based company posted sales of 5.4 billion ringgit (USD 1.5 billion) last year.
'Transforming Deal'
Among Genting's bigger rivals by market value, Las Vegas Sands Corp. had USD 1.7 billion in sales, MGM Mirage reported USD 6.5 billion in revenue and Harrah's Entertainment Inc. had sales of USD 7.1 billion last year. Genting's revenue was double that of Wynn Resorts Ltd., the fourth-largest gaming-operator by value.
Lim's target is for Genting, which was founded in 1965, to become one of the three biggest casino-operators in terms of revenue, gaming tables, market value and locations.
"This win is a transforming deal," Sean Monaghan, an analyst at Merrill Lynch & Co. in Singapore, wrote after Genting won the bid on Dec. 8. "This project gives the company a major new engine for growth, an expanded portfolio of assets and enhanced credibility globally, which should facilitate further success in future bids."
Genting's shares rose for a second day after winning the Singapore bid, extending yesterday's record close. The stock gained 50 sen, or 1.6 percent, to 32.5 ringgit at the 5 p.m. close in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia's key stock index fell 1.2 percent, the first decline in three days.
Genting, known for its hill-top casino-resorts on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, plans to tap a surge in travelers in Asia drawn to gaming destinations. Macau, the only place in China where casinos are legal, is poised to overtake the Las Vegas strip as the world's largest gaming hub in revenue this year.
Casinos in Macau collected USD 3.1 billion in gaming revenue in the six months ended June, more than in the whole of 2002, according to the city's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Board. The Las Vegas strip collected USD 3.3 billion in the same six-month period, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
Genting beat Kerzner International Ltd., which owns the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, and Eighth Wonder, the developer of the New York New York property in Las Vegas, for the Singapore bid. Harrah's dropped out of the race four days before the Oct. 10 deadline for the submission of proposals.
Gaming Revenue
The Singapore government has said the license awarded to Genting will be the last for at least 10 years. Las Vegas Sands won the concession for the first casino site in downtown Singapore earlier this year, where it plans to spend more than $ 3 billion in a resort that will include a convention center with more meeting space than the city's 50 hotels combined.
Located on the resort island of Sentosa, Genting's project will focus on drawing families.
The company expects annual gaming revenue of between USD 1 billion and USD 2 billion, matching the estimates of Las Vegas Sands. The Malaysian company also projected a 15 percent return on its Singapore development and estimated it would take seven years to recoup its investment.
Genting International, Genting's overseas unit, said today it's selling SGD 425 million of five-year zero-coupon bonds that can be converted into stock to fund the building of the resort.
Genting Bhd. said today it will raise another 1.04 billion ringgit (USD 294 million) by selling 33 million new shares at 31.5 ringgit each.
'Great Partner'
The development will draw 15 million visitors in 2010, with a "substantial" number going to the Universal Studios theme park, according to Genting's estimates. Universal Studios, a unit of General Electric Co., will manage the theme park and won't have an equity stake in the project. Still, Genting is "open" to the possibility of an investment in the future.
"If Universal changes its mind and would like to talk to us, we'd be happy to talk to them," Lim said. "We find them to be a great partner."
The Singapore theme park will be larger than the location in Los Angeles, and 16 of the 22 rides proposed will be specifically designed for the city-state.
"It doesn't hurt to have scale," said Tan Chong Koay, who oversees more than USD 700 million as chief executive officer at Pheim Asset Management Ltd. in Singapore. "A lot of the super rich will be attracted to Singapore, especially with a theme park."

The Maison Jean Vilar
Almost 40 years old!
Jean Vilar passed away in 1971. The necessity of assembling a corpus of documents quickly became apparent: records of his work, the Théâtre National Populaire during his directorship (1951-63) and everything connected with the Festival d'Avignon which he created in 1947.
In 1972, on the initiative of Paul Puaux, his closest collaborator and successor as director of the Festival d'Avignon (1971-79), the Association Jean Vilar was set up and was granted official status as a public interest organisation (allowing it to receive donations and funding).
The Association, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF or French National Library), the Ministry of Culture and the city of Avignon met and agreed on the need to establish a centre dedicated to Jean Vilar and the study of contemporary performing arts.
When the city of Avignon acquired the l'Hôtel de Crochans, in 1979, the Maison Jean Vilar became a venue for exhibitions, archives and research as well as a place for meetings and events, in keeping with the spirit of a people's theatre today. This project joins in a quadripartite agreement between the City of Avignon, the Ministry of Culture, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and the Jean Vilar association.
A place of remembrance: to promote interest in the work of Jean Vilar and popular theatre
A resource centre allowing both professionals and the general public access to the collections and works: iconographic and audiovisual documents, performance archives, the cultural life of the region, Jean Vilar's decentralisation initiative and the history of the Festival d'Avignon.
A vibrant place: a year-round programme of exhibitions, events and meetings, culminating in the Festival d'Avignon.

Avilla San Marcos is a one story new luxury community. The interiors are modern and new and offer private yards for each apartment. Unfortunately the exterior and buildings make you feel as if you are in a school or correctional facility. The feel of the entire complex is one of basic and does not match the interiors of the apartments. Although the interiors are nice and new, they have a tight living space. Pros include: Cabinets are modern and brand new. Appliances are quality and new as well. Walls are painted in bright pastels and faux wood floor looks good. Each apartment has a private yard that is walled in. On the down side, the exterior architecture and grounds are drab. Each apartment looks like a big lego block, and except for one big courtyard, there is no grass. Private yards are all landscaped with rocks and a couple of small plants, and look very plain. There is also a lack of amenities beside the two pools. Watch out: Certain apartments have bigger yards and add onto the rent either $25 or $50 a month.
It is just north of the 202 on Alma School Road. It is surrounded by residential houses and vacant fields. It is just a couple of minutes from shopping and dining.
Avilla San Marcos is a gated luxury community located in south Chandler. It offers a private living experience with secluded patios.
Quiet. Maintenance issues are usually addressed within 24 hours. Our landscaping has about 8 really pretty plantings. Our neihbors have dogs, but I rarely hear them. The only problem I had was my car didn't fit in the garage.
The idea of stand-alone apartments appealed to me. The model units were nicely done up. It had granite, Frigidaire appliances and a little yard. How bad could it be?
Wish I had looked more closely and done a bit of research. The water faucets jiggle. My refrigerator required maintenance within the first week which apparently isn't uncommon. The washer made a shrieking noise and nearly busted through the closet. It was replaced twice but each unit had the same problem. Apparently this was an issue facing a couple dozen new tenants and I had to wait as the owners and Frigidaire folks pointed their fingers at each other. It took 3 weeks to finally get fixed to the point that I could do a load of laundry. Deadlines for addressing these and a host of other issues came and went. Pool gates were painted shut. Mailbox key didn't work. Zip code isn't recognized by USPS so some mail doesn't get delivered. I could go on.
I had a sinking feeling the first night when I tried to enter the complex after a long day of moving. My gate opener didn't work, nor did the keypad. I was locked outside my own complex. Called maintenance and they said it would take 60 min to get someone to let me in. When I spoke with the office the next day I was told the security system crashed and it took a couple days to get it back online.
Not to worry if this isn't your dream place, we can still be your trusted apartment finder with so many more options in Chandler.
