An evolved real-time data processing strategy is proposed for high-energy physics experiments, and its implementation at the LHCb experiment is presented. The reduced event model allows not only the signal candidate firing the trigger to be persisted, as p ...
Starting with Upgrade 1 in 2021, LHCb will move to a purely software-based trigger system. Therefore, the new trigger strategy is to process events at the full rate of 30MHz. Given that the increase of CPU performance has slowed down in recent years, the p ...
The LHCb experiment has performed very well during the Run I of the LHC, producing a large number of relevant physics results on a wide range of topics. The preparation and commissioning of the LHCb experiment for Run II is discussed here, with special emp ...
The digitalization of our world is proceeding with every new technical product placed on the market. By making them smarter, e.g. linking them together and equipping them with sensors, a vast mass of data is collected. Processing and storing this informati ...
The Laser Ion Source and Trap (LIST) provides a new mode of operation for the resonance ionization laser ion source (RILIS) at ISOLDE/CERN, reducing the amount of surface-ionized isobaric contaminants by up to four orders of magnitude. After the first succ ...
Evaluation of aging infrastructure has been a world-wide concern for decades due to its economic, ecological and societal importance. Existing structures usually have large amounts of unknown reserve capacity that may be evaluated though structural identif ...
The weakly coherent mode (WCM) in I-mode has been studied by a six-field two-fluid model based on the Braginskii equations under the BOUT++ framework for the first time. The calcula- tions indicate that a tokamak pedestal exhibiting a WCM is linearly unsta ...
In this review, we discuss our recent advances in modeling adhesive wear mechanisms using coarse-grained atomistic simulations. In particular, we present how a model pair potential reveals the transition from ductile shearing of an asperity to the formatio ...
In recent years, topology gained a central role in physics. We learnt that energetics could be often explained better by classes of objects defined by having qualitative differences. In today's jargon, we say they are topologically distinct. The process of ...
This paper presents an experimental investigation, compact modeling, and low-temperature physics-based modeling of a commercial 28-nm bulk CMOS technology operating at cryogenic temperatures. The physical and technological parameters are extracted at 300, ...
