Abstract We summarise the discussions at a virtual Community Workshop on Cold Atoms in Space concerning status of cold atom technologies, prospective scientific and societal opportunities offered by their deployment space, developments needed before atoms could be operated space. The technologies discussed include atomic clocks, quantum gravimeters accelerometers, interferometers. Prospective applications metrology, geodesy measurement terrestrial mass change due to, e.g., climate change,...
Abstract Cherenkov detectors enable a valuable tool to identify high-energy particles. However, their sensitivity and momentum coverage are limited by the refractive index of host materials. Especially, identifying particles with energy above multiple gigaelectronvolts requires materials near-unity index, which bulky gas chambers. Overcoming this fundamental material limit is important for future particle yet remains long-standing challenge. Here, we propose different paradigm that utilizes...
In this paper we review the physics opportunities at linear $e^+e^-$ colliders with a special focus on high centre-of-mass energies and beam polarisation, take fresh look various accelerator technologies available or under development and, for first time, discuss how facility equipped technology mature today could be upgraded of tomorrow to reach much higher and/or luminosities. addition, will detectors alternative collider modes, as well beyond-collider experiments R\&D facilities part...
This document presents a summary of the 2023 Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry Workshop hosted by CERN. The workshop brought together experts from around world to discuss exciting developments in large-scale atom interferometer (AI) prototypes and their potential for detecting ultralight dark matter gravitational waves. primary objective was lay groundwork an international TVLBAI proto-collaboration. collaboration aims unite researchers different institutions strategize...
The two RICH detectors installed in LHCb have performed successfully during the 2010–2012 data taking period. from these were essential to most of physics results published by LHCb. During this period collected corresponding 3 fb−1 integrated luminosity. From 2019 onwards plans collect 5 luminosity per year order improve statistical precision experiment and search for very rare B-decays D-decays. This would increase readout rate occupancies detectors. To cope with challenges, Hybrid Photon...
We propose a new mechanism using the constructive interference of resonance transition radiation from photonic crystals to generate Cherenkov into controllable angles with high sensitivity any desired range velocities.
LHCb is one of the experiments at Large Hadron Collider CERN. It aims to make precision measurements CP violation in B-meson decays. The detector simulation was developed using GEANT4 software toolkit interfaced framework named GAUDI. This now being used for a large production run 210 million events. An important feature experiment use ring imaging Cherenkov counters (RICH) particle identification. photons created this are focused onto an array photodetectors made Hybrid Photodiodes. A brief...
We present the investigation of use Opticks, a GPU-accelerated optical photon interface with LHCb detector simulation, to improve computation time propagation. The hybrid workflow, combining particle simulation package Geant4 and offloads propagation GPUs, thereby accelerating overall process. consistency results obtained from Opticks simulations is verified simplified RICH 1 geometry, demonstrating feasibility proposed approach. In addition, ongoing transition NVIDIA OptiX 7 API...
