Independent Reproduction and Convergence Analysis of the Connes-Consani-Moscovici Zeta Spectral Triple

Version 2.4. We independently implement the Connes–Consani–Moscovici (CCM) operator construction described in arXiv:2511.22755 in Rust using arbitrary-precision MPFR/GMP arithmetic. This manuscript is an independent reproduction and empirical analysis of the CCM construction; it...

Compatibility of Type 304H Stainless Steel in Static Molten FLiBe for Inertial Confinement Fusion Reactors: Role of Impurities and Redox Control

Molten fluoride salts, such as FLiBe (LiF-BeF2), are promising candidates for tritium breeding and heat transfer in fusion reactors, but corrosion of structural materials remains a major challenge. This study investigates the corrosion behavior of austenitic stainless steel 304H...
