The Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon microstrip detector that surrounds the proton-proton interaction region in LHCb experiment. performance of during first years its physics operation reviewed. system operated vacuum, uses bi-phase CO2 cooling system, and sensors are moved to 7 mm from LHC beam for data taking. stability these characteristic features described, details material budget given. calibration timing processing algorithms implemented FPGAs described. fully characterised. have...
The LHCb Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon strip detector designed to reconstruct charged particle trajectories and vertices produced at the interaction region. During first two years of data collection, 84 VELO sensors have been exposed range fluences up maximum value approximately 45 × 1012 1 MeV neutron equivalent (1 neq). At operational sensor temperature −7 °C, average rate current increase 18 μA per fb−1, in excellent agreement with predictions. effective bandgap has determined using...
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment prepares its Phase-2 upgrade for the high-luminosity era of LHC operation (HL-LHC). Due to increase occupancy, trigger latency and rates, full electronics CMS Drift Tube (DT) chambers will need be replaced. In new design, time bin digitisation chamber signals around 1~ns, totality forwarded asynchronously service cavern at resolution. backend system in charge building primitives each chamber. These contain information level about muon candidates...
With short resumes and highlights the discussions in different working groups of workshop MPI@LHC 2012 is documented.
The CMS drift tubes (DT) muon detector, built for withstanding the LHC expected integrated and instantaneous luminosities, will be used also in High Luminosity (HL-LHC) at a 5 times larger luminosity and, consequently, much higher levels of radiation, reaching about 10 luminosity. Initial irradiation tests spare DT chamber CERN gamma facility (GIF++), large (∼ O(100)) acceleration factor, showed ageing effects resulting degradation cell performance. However, full simulations have shown...
In this paper, I recount the history of International Journal Philosophical Studies (IJPS), and my role as Founding Editor. The IJPS emerged from earlier annual (Maynooth), founded by Desmond Bastable in 1951 published regularly until 1988. took over Editor 1989 to 1992 then began Studies.
A search for a heavy Higgs boson using several final states in the H → WW and ZZ decay channels is reported.The based upon proton-proton collision data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up 5.1 fb -1 at √ s = 7 TeV 19.7 8 TeV, recorded by CMS experiment CERN LHC.A with Standard Model-like couplings decays mass range 145 GeV < m 1000 excluded 95% confidence level.The results are also interpreted context electroweak singlet extension Model.
Within an electricity network a voltage-demand relationship exists for loads within the network. This is being used to provide Electricity System Operator with demand flexibility service. However, weakening of this relationship, caused by development future load technologies which are more voltage independent, means there will be lessened change associated in paper establishes understanding present models ENWL's distribution network, before investigating how make up and future.
We report on an indirect method being used to measure luminosity at LHCb. It involves recording the event rate of elastic diphoton dimuon production. Preliminary MC studies suggest that with 1 fb^{-1} data this could provide a measurement precision better than 2%
To sustain and extend its discovery potential, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will undergo a major upgrade in coming years, referred to as High Luminosity LHC (HLLHC), aimed increase instantaneous luminosity, 5 times larger than designed limit, and, consequently leading high levels of radiation, with goal collect 10 original integrated luminosity. The drift tube chambers (DT) CMS muon detector system is built proficiently measure trigger on muons harsh radiation environment expected during...
