  2. 1. Silicon Tracking and a Search for Long-lived Particles

    Author : Rebecca Carney; Samuel Silverstein; Sara Strandberg; Maurice Garcia-Sciveres; Joel Goldstein; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ATLAS; silicon; silicon tracking; radiation damage; neuromorphic; neuromorphic computing; long-lived particles; susy; rpvll; displaced vertices; pixel; pixel detector; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The ATLAS Detector, below the surface of the Swiss-French border, measures the remnants of high-energy proton-proton collisions, accelerated by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Recently the LHC paused operations, having delivered an integrated luminosity corresponding to 150 fb−1 of data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. READ MORE

  4. 2. Machine Learning in High-Energy Physics: Displaced Event Detection and Developments in ROOT/TMVA

    Author : Kim Albertsson; Fredrik Sandin; Andreas Hocker; Tobias Golling; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cyber-Physical Systems; Cyberfysiska system;

    Abstract : Many proposed extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics predict long-lived particles, which can decay at a significant distance from the primary interaction point. Such events produce displaced vertices with distinct detector signatures when compared to standard model processes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Searches for supersymmetric long-lived particles with displaced-vertex signatures and studies of the electronic noise in the Tile Calorimeter at the ATLAS experiment

    Author : Filip Backman; David Milstead; Christian Ohm; Stefan Richter; Sten Hellman; Kenneth Österberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; fysik;

    Abstract : The Standard Model of particle physics is successful at describing nature on the smallest scales, but it has known flaws. These can be remedied by extended theories, such as supersymmetry. A quantum number in the supersymmetry framework is R-parity. This quantity is generally conserved, but can be violated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Charged kaon and proton production in B-hadron decays

    Author : Fredrik Tegenfeldt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiation sciences; Högenergifysik; LEP; DELPHI; B-hadron; proton; kaon; Strålningsvetenskap; Radiation biology; Strålningsbiologi; High Energy Physics; Högenergifysik;

    Abstract : The production of charged kaons and protons in B-hadron decays has been measured in e+e- annihilations at centre-of-mass energies corresponding to the Z0 mass. In total 1.6 million hadronic Z0 decays were analysed, corresponding to about 690000 B-hadron decays. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploring the Merits and Challenges of Hyperon Physics : with PANDA at FAIR

    Author : Walter Ikegami Andersson; Karin Schönning; Michael Papenbrock; Tord Johansson; Volker Crede; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hadron physics; Hyperon; Track reconstruction; Non-perturbative QCD; Spin observables; PANDA; Fysik med inriktning mot kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Nuclear Physics;

    Abstract : Binary hyperon production in antiproton-proton annihilations will be carried out with the PANDA experiment at FAIR, and probes the strong interaction in the non-perturbative regime where the relevant degrees of freedom are unclear. The self-analyzing decays of hyperons provide a straightforward way to study reaction dynamics via the measurement of spin observables. READ MORE
