MMVIAD: Multi-view Multi-task Video Understanding for Industrial Anomaly Detection

Industrial anomaly detection is critical for manufacturing quality control, yet existing datasets mainly focus on static images or sparse views, which do not fully reflect continuous inspection processes in real industrial scenarios. We introduce MMVIAD (Multi-view Multi-task Video Industrial Anomaly Detection), to the best of our knowledge the first continuous multi-view video dataset for industrial anomaly detection and understanding, together with a benchmark for multi-task evaluation. MMVIAD contains object-centric 2-second inspection clips with approximately 120 degrees of camera motion, covering 48 object categories, 14 environments, and 6 structural anomaly types. It supports anomaly detection, defect classification, object classification, and anomaly visible-time localization. Systematic evaluations on MMVIAD show that current commercial and open-source video MLLMs remain far below human performance, especially for fine-grained defect recognition and temporal grounding. To improve transferable anomaly understanding, we further develop a two-stage post-training pipeline where PS-SFT (Perception-Structured Supervised Fine-Tuning) initializes perception-structured reasoning and VISTA-GRPO (Visibility-grounded Industrial Structured Temporal Anomaly Group Relative Policy Optimization) refines the model with semantic-gated defect reward and visibility-aware temporal reward, producing the final model VISTA. On MMVIAD-Unseen, VISTA improves the base model's average score across the four tasks from 45.0 to 57.5, surpassing GPT-5.4. Source code is available at https://github.com/Georgekeepmoving/MMVIAD.

Modification of $Z^0$ leptonic invariant mass in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions as a measure of the electromagnetic field

An extraordinary strong magnetic field, $eB_0 \approx 10^{18}$ Gauss, is expected to be generated in non-central ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions and it is envisaged to induce several effects on hot QCD matter including the possibility of local parity and local parity and charge conjugation symmetry violations. A direct signature of such e.m. fields and a first quantitative measurement of its strength and lifetime are still missing. We point out that both the mean value of leptonic invariant mass of $Z^0$ boson, reconstructed by its decaying lepton pairs, and the relative width are modified in relativistic heavy ion collisions due to the presence of strong initial e.m. fields. We propose a measurement of the leptonic invariant mass of $Z^0$ as a novel probe of the strength of the $B_y$. Both shifts could be up to about few hundred MeV and are found to depend on the integral of $B_y$ over the time duration quadratically (approximate). Hence it provides a novel and clear probe of electromagnetic fields, which can be tested experimentally.

Evolution of $Λ$ polarization in the hadronic phase of heavy-ion collisions

Using the AMPT + MUSIC+UrQMD hybrid model, we study the global and local spin polarizations of $Λ$ hyperons as functions of the freeze-out temperature of the spin degree of freedom in the hadronic phase of Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=19.6$ GeV. Including contributions from both the thermal vorticity and thermal shear of the hadronic matter, we find that, with the spin freeze-out temperature dropping from the hadronization temperature of 160 MeV to 110 MeV at the kinetic freeze-out, both the global and local spin polarizations of $Λ$ hyperons due to the thermal vorticity decrease by a factor of two, while those due to the thermal shear decrease quickly and become negligibly small at 140 MeV. Our results suggest the importance of understanding the dynamical evolution of the spin degree of freedom in the hadronic stage in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Directed flow induced by electromagnetic fields in heavy ion collisions

Strong electromagnetic fields are expected to be generated in off-central relativistic heavy ion collisions, which can induce a splitting of the directed flow of charged particles and anti-particles ($Δv_1$). Such a splitting manifests even for neutral charmed mesons pairs ($D^0,\bar{D}^0$), hence being a direct probe of the formation of deconfined phase with charm quarks as degree of freedom. In the limit of large $p_T$ and weak interaction with the QGP, a formula of $Δv_1(p_T,y_z)$ of charged particles and anti-particles as a function of $p_T$ and rapidity $y_z$ can be obtained, which is found to be related to the spectra of charged particles and the integrated effect of the Lorentz force. This formula is expected to be valid to heavy quarks and leptons at high $p_T$, where the modification to their equations of motion due to the interaction with both QGP and electromagnetic fields is small, and should have a general application. We also proposed a measurement of $Δv_1(p_T,y_z)$ of leptons from $Z^0$ decay and its correlation to that of $D$ mesons, which would be a strong probe determining whether the large splitting measured in experiments has the electromagnetic origin.

Local spin polarizations in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Based on a generalized side-jump formalism for massless chiral fermions, which naturally takes into account the spin-orbit coupling in the scattering of two chiral fermions and the chiral vortical effect in a rotating chiral fermion matter, we have developed a covariant and total angular momentum conserved chiral transport model to study both the global and local polarizations of this matter. For a system of massless quarks of random spin orientations and finite vorticity in a box, we have demonstrated that the model can exactly conserve the total angular momentum of the system and dynamically generate the quark spin polarization expected from a thermally equilibrated quark matter. Using this model to study the spin polarization in relativistic heavy-ion collision, we have found that the local quark spin polarizations depend strongly on the reference frame where they are evaluated as a result of the nontrivial axial charge distribution caused by the chiral vortical effect. We have further shown that because of the anomalous orbital or side-jump contribution to the quark spin polarization, the local quark polarizations calculated in the medium rest frame are qualitatively consistent with the local polarizations of Lambda hyperons measured in experiments.

Spin Polarizations in a Covariant Angular-Momentum-Conserved Chiral Transport Model

Using a covariant and angular-momentum-conserved chiral transport model, which takes into account the spin-orbit interactions of chiral fermions in their scatterings via the side jumps, we study the quark spin polarization in quark matter. For a system of rotating and unpolarized massless quarks in an expanding box, we find that side jumps can dynamically polarize the quark spin and result in a final quark spin polarization consistent with that of thermally equilibrated massless quarks in a self-consistent vorticity field. For the quark matter produced in noncentral relativistic heavy ion collisions, we find that in the medium rest frame both the quark local spin polarizations in the direction perpendicular to the reaction plane and along the longitudinal beam direction show an azimuthal angle dependence in the transverse plane similar to those observed in experiments for the Lambda hyperon.

Study of collective anisotropies $v_2$ and $v_3$ and their fluctuations in $pA$ collisions at LHC within a relativistic transport approach

We have developed a relativistic transport approach at fixed $η/s(T)$ that incorporates initial space fluctuations generated by wounded quark model to study the hadron observables in 5.02 TeV p+Pb collisions. We find that our approach is able to correctly predict quite well several existing experimental measurements assuming a matter with $η/s=1/4π$, a result similar to previous studies within a viscous hydrodynamics approach. Besides, we further discuss the sensitivity of the results on both $η/s(T)$ and the smearing width. Our transport approach has the possibility to include in initial conditions the power law tail associated to minijet, and this improvement extends the agreement with the experimental data to higher $p_T$ ranges. We also perform a comparison to Pb+Pb collisions pointing out that even if the collective flows have a similar magnitude the features of the matter created are different. By studying the correlation between collective flows and initial geometry, we find that the correlation decreases faster in small systems with the increase of $n$ and centrality. In particular we show that the variance of $σ_{v_n}/\langle v_n\rangle$ has a quite different evolution with centrality for p+Pb, so their measurement could provide some further hint about the correctness of current modelling.

Heavy-light flavour correlations of anisotropic flows at LHC energies within event-by-event transport approach

The heavy quarks (HQs) are unique probe of the hot QCD matter properties and their dynamics is coupled to the locally thermalized expanding quark gluon plasma. We present here a novel study of the event by event correlations between light and heavy flavour flow harmonics at LHC energy within a transport approach. Interaction between heavy quarks and light quarks have been taken into account exploring the impact of different temperature dependence of the transport coefficients $D_s$ and $Γ$. Our study indicates that $v^{heavy}_n-v^{light}_n$ correlation and the relative fluctuations of anisotropic flows, $σ_{v_{n}}/\langle v_n \rangle$, are novel observables to understand the heavy quark-bulk interaction and are sensitive to the temperature dependence even to moderate differences of $D_s(T)$, or $Γ(T)$. Hence a comparison of such new observables for HQ to upcoming experimental data at both RHIC and LHC can put further constraints on heavy quark transport coefficients and in particular on its temperature dependence toward a solid comparison between the phenomenological determination and the lattice QCD calculations.
