Random number generator ordering by extreme event probability calculations
(2025-10-21) Lebedev, Anton; Yaman, Olha
This collection contains aggregated data used to investigate the effects of various random number generators on the quality and performance of extreme event simulations. The analysis was carried out using Quantum Dice's quantum random number generator (QRNG), the Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) and multiple linear congruential generators (LCG) in a sequential use case. All archives contain Snakemake workflows documenting the generation and evaluation process as well as simulation parameters. Jupyter notebooks within the archives demonstrate how to analyse the respective data.
Archives referencing a mass contain workflows and aggregated data for a system of masses loosely coupled by harmonic springs. The data is used to analyse the probability of extreme sagging of the system below a predefined tolerance, resulting in a failure condition. In addition the archive contains the sample notebook used to evaluate the data.
The archive referencing an SDE contains the collection of probabilities of a non-linear stochastic differential equation to evolve from a fixed initial position to an extremal configuration. The data consists of multiple workflows, each consisting of 100 repetitions of the SDE simulation for varying combinations of the threshold parameter and the number of trajectories simulated. A notebook used to compare the RNGs using the absolute approximation error is provided with the dataset.

In Situ SORS spectra of Historical Preservation Fluids in Sealed Containers
(2025-10-30) Mosca, Sara; Matousek, Pavel
In situ Spatially Offset Raman Spectra of 46 historic sample measured at the Natural History Museum (London). The Raman spectra were collected using a handheld commercial SORS instrument (Resolve, Agilent Technologies, Oxfordshire, UK) through a historic jar unsing the matlab scrip presented below.
In Addition, the calibration dataset made of the different mockup solution is shared in separete dataset.
Three different datasets are provided consisting of the following:
1. SORS spectra of the 46 historica samples, pre-processed by external automatic routine (as described in the paper) (NHM-SORS-hystoric-data.csv)
2. SORS spectra o the 20 calibraion mock up soluion used for PCA analysis (CALIBRATION-DATASET-SORS-NHM.csv)
3. MATLAB scritp used to pre-procese the zero and offsed data extracted from Resolve and calculating the SORS spectra (sors-resolve-datascipt.docx)
Scanning electron microscopy images and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy of inclusions within AlSi10Mg mirrors created using additive manufacturing
(2025-10) Atkins, Carolyn; Tammas-Williams, Samuel; Laidlaw, Fraser H. J.; Westwood, Dominic; Aziz, Ilhan; Chahid, Younes; Snell, Robert M.; McPhee, Scott; Cowan, Jason
The data provided herein describes the evaluation of inclusions within the surfaces of six aluminium mirrors created using additive manufacturing in the alloy AlSi10Mg. The inclusions are frequently observed to cause scratches on the mirror surface and by identification, routes for mitigation can be provided. The inclusions were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and subsequently were observed to be either aluminium oxides or contaminating metal alloys. The mirrors utilised different additive manufacturing machines with different operation environments, which allow the data to inform on routes where contamination has occurred.
The data are organised by sample (mirror) number and the evaluated inclusion, with individual files describing topography and spectroscopy. The mirrors were approx. 50 mm in diameter and between 5 and 10 mm in height. The equipment used was a Zeiss Crossbeam 550 FIB-SEM located at the University of Edinburgh. Five detectors on the FIB-SEM were used in data collection: InLens, SESI, ESD, BSD4 and EDS.

Gudrun input files and numerical data for the neutron structure factors SN(Q) and total correlation functions TN(r). Pertaining to the publication Alderman, O.L.G., Tracking boron coordination change with temperature in a barium borosilicate glass melt by neutron diffraction, Phys. Rev. Mater., 2025: Accepted. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/slv2-dtwz The file Run_summary.txt relates the filenames to the sample compositions in the publication, the temperatures at which they were measured and the cell material, as well as to the leading run numbers for each 'sample' in the Gudrun input files. Note that in the original upload the SN(Q) mint01 files suffered from rounding errors. This has been corrected herein, on 02/10/2025.

(2025-06-17) Khan, Matthew Ben; Churnetski, Kristen; Barlow, Duncan; Betti, Riccardo ; Freeman, Calum; Glize, Kevin; Kunimune, Justin; Lees, Aarne; Mancini, Roberto C.; Nutter, Arun; Paddock, Robert; Regan, Sean; Stoeckl, Christian; Theobald, Wolfgang; Woolsey, Nigel; Scott, R.H.H.
Data taken during the OMEAG_SAI-23A "Shock Augmented Ignition" shot day. Investigated the novel scheme of Shock Augmented Ignition (SAI) [10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.195001] for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) [10.1063/1.4934714]. Data from multiple diagnostics were taken. Diagnostics include neutron, proton, and x-ray imagers. All were used to assess the performance of the implosion and the dependency on the timing of the central "augmenting shock".
