DEFLECT: Delay-Robust Execution via Flow-matching Likelihood-Estimated Counterfactual Tuning for VLA Policies

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies are typically deployed with asynchronous inference: the robot executes a previously predicted action chunk while the model computes the next one. This creates a prediction-execution misalignment: the chunk is conditioned on the observation taken before inference began, but executes in a physical state that has already drifted forward by several control steps; naive asynchronous rollover collapses from 89% to under 1% on Kinetix as the inference cycle covers up to seven control steps. We introduce DEFLECT, a fully offline post-training refinement that applies as a near drop-in upgrade to existing async-VLA stacks by converting latency itself into a label-free preference signal: counterfactual fresh/stale action pairs are constructed from a frozen reference policy and scored under the deployment-time conditioning via an implicit flow-matching likelihood-ratio surrogate, with no human labels, reward models, or online rollouts. DEFLECT substantially extends the usable delay envelope of async VLA control, with +6.4 success-rate gain in the high-latency regime (5-7 control steps), +4.6 when transferred to a real-scale VLA at the longest delay, and consistent improvements on two real-robot tasks (a bimanual conveyor pick-and-place and a reactive whack-a-mole).

Measurement of the neutron beam profile of the Back-n white neutron facility at CSNS with a Micromegas detector

The Back-n white neutron beam line, which uses back-streaming white neutrons from the spallation target of the China Spallation Neutron Source, is used for nuclear data measurements. A Micromegas-based neutron detector with two variants was specially developed to measure the beam spot distribution for this beam line. In this article, the design, fabrication, and characterization of the detector are described. The results of the detector performance tests are presented, which include the relative electron transparency, the gain and the gain uniformity, and the neutron beam profile reconstruction capability. The result of the first measurement of the Back-n neutron beam spot distribution is also presented.

Measurements of differential and angle-integrated cross sections for the $^{10}$B($n, α$)$^{7}$Li reaction in the neutron energy range from 1.0 eV to 2.5 MeV

Differential and angle-integrated cross sections for the $^{10}$B($n, α$)$^{7}$Li, $^{10}$B($n, α$$_{0}$)$^{7}$Li and $^{10}$B($n, α$$_{1}$)$^{7}$Li$^{*}$ reactions have been measured at CSNS Back-n white neutron source. Two enriched (90%) $^{10}$B samples 5.0 cm in diameter and ~85.0 $μ$g/cm$^{2}$ in thickness each with an aluminum backing were prepared, and back-to-back mounted at the sample holder. The charged particles were detected using the silicon-detector array of the Light-charged Particle Detector Array (LPDA) system. The neutron energy E$_{n}$ was determined by TOF (time-of-flight) method, and the valid $α$ events were extracted from the E$_{n}$-Amplitude two-dimensional spectrum. With 15 silicon detectors, the differential cross sections of $α$-particles were measured from 19.2° to 160.8°. Fitted with the Legendre polynomial series, the ($n, α$) cross sections were obtained through integration. The absolute cross sections were normalized using the standard cross sections of the $^{10}$B($n, α$)$^{7}$Li reaction in the 0.3 - 0.5 MeV neutron energy region. The measurement neutron energy range for the $^{10}$B($n, α$)$^{7}$Li reaction is 1.0 eV $\le$ En < 2.5 MeV (67 energy points), and for the $^{10}$B($n, α$$_{0}$)$^{7}$Li and $^{10}$B($n, α$$_{1}$)$^{7}$Li$^{*}$ reactions is 1.0 eV $\le$ En < 1.0 MeV (59 energy points). The present results have been analyzed by the resonance reaction mechanism and the level structure of the $^{11}$B compound system, and compared with existing measurements and evaluations.

Study of n-γ discrimination in low energy range (above 40 keVee) by charge comparison method with a BC501A liquid scintillation detector

A VME-based experiment system for n-γ discrimination using the charge comparison method was established. A data acquisition program for controlling the programmable modules and processing data online via VME64X bus was developed through the use of LabVIEW. The two-dimensional (2D) scatter plots of the charge in the slow component vs. the total charge of recorded pulses from Am-Be and Cf neutron sources were presented. The 2D scatter plots of the energy vs. the ratio of the charge in the slow component to the total charge of the pulses were presented at the meantime. The quality of n-γ discrimination was checked by the figure-of-merit, and the results showed good performance of n-γ discrimination at low energy range. Neutrons and γ-rays were separated above 50 keVee (electron-equivalent energy). The quality of n-γ discrimination have been improved compared with others' results at 5 energies (150, 250, 350, 450, 550 keVee).

Unfolding the fast neutron spectra of a BC501A liquid scintillation detector using GRAVEL method

Accurate knowledge of the neutron energy spectra is useful in basic research and applications. The overall procedure of measuring and unfolding the fast neutron energy spectra with BC501A liquid scintillation detector is described. The recoil proton spectrum of Am-Be neutrons was obtained experimentally. With the NRESP7 code, the response matrix of detector was simulated. Combining the recoil proton spectrum and response matrix, the unfolding of neutron spectra was performed by GRAVEL iterative algorithm. A MatLab program based on the GRAVEL method was developed. The continuous neutron spectrum of Am-Be source and monoenergetic neutron spectrum of D-T source have been unfolded successfully and are in good agreement with their standard reference spectra. The unfolded Am-Be spectrum are more accurate than the spectra unfolded by artificial neural networks in recent years.

Representations for weighted Moore-Penrose inverses of partitioned adjointable operators

For two positive definite adjointable operators $M$ and $N$, and an adjointable operator $A$ acting on a Hilbert $C^*$-module, some properties of the weighted Moore-Penrose inverse $A^†_{MN}$ are established. When $A=(A_{ij})$ is $1\times 2$ or $2\times 2$ partitioned, general representations for $A^†_{MN}$ in terms of the individual blocks $A_{ij}$ are studied. In case $A$ is $1\times 2$ partitioned, a unified representation for $A^†_{MN}$ is presented. In the $2\times 2$ partitioned case, an approach to constructing Moore-Penrose inverses from the non-weighted case to the weighted case is provided. Some results known for matrices are generalized in the general setting of Hilbert $C^*$-module operators.
