The CMS detector at the CERN LHC features a silicon pixel as its innermost subdetector. original has been replaced with an upgraded system (CMS Phase-1 detector) in extended year-end technical stop of 2016/2017. is designed to cope higher instantaneous luminosities that have achieved by after upgrades accelerator during first long shutdown 2013–2014. Compared detector, better tracking performance and lower mass four barrel layers three endcap disks on each side provide hit coverage up...
The structure of the CMS inner tracking system has been studied using nuclear interactions hadrons striking its material. Data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy 13 TeV recorded in 2015 LHC are used to reconstruct millions secondary vertices these interactions. Precise positions beam pipe and elements, such as pixel detector support tube, barrel shield rails, determined vertices. These measurements important for simulations, upgrades, identify any changes inactive elements.
During the high-luminosity phase of LHC (HL-LHC), planned to start in 2027, accelerator is expected deliver an instantaneous peak luminosity up 7.5×1034 cm−2 s−1. A total integrated 0300 or even 0400 fb−1 foreseen be delivered general purpose detectors ATLAS and CMS over a decade, thereby increasing discovery potential experiments significantly. The detector will undergo major upgrade for HL-LHC, with entirely new tracking consisting Outer Tracker Inner Tracker. However, system exposed...
Sulfur mortar hardens quickly, shows a high chemical resistance, and can be recycled, making it ideal for construction rehabilitation in extreme environments. Despite its potential sustainability, current research lacks sufficient characterization of sulfur mortar’s performance during recycling, particularly regarding the physical changes when iron oxide is introduced. This study investigates replacement conventional siliceous sand with high-iron-content mortar, through series five...
