Identification of hadronic tau lepton decays using a deep neural network

A new algorithm is presented to discriminate reconstructed hadronic decays of tau leptons (th) that originate from genuine tau leptons in the CMS detector against th candidates that originate from quark or gluon jets, electrons, or muons. The algorithm inp ...

Low-Latency High-Bandwidth Circuit and System Design for Trigger Systems in High Energy Physics

Marcos Vinícius Silva Oliveira

The increasing luminosity in HEP (High Energy Physics) colliders demands trigger systems to be more selective. First, more information from the detector is routed to the trigger system. Second, larger parts of this information are processed together. These ...

Measurement of time-dependent CP violation in B0->Dpi decays and optimisation of flavour tagging algorithms at LHCb

Vincenzo Battista

This thesis presents the results of a time-dependent analysis of

B^0\to D^{\mp}\pi^{\pm}

decays using

3~\rm fb^{-1}

of proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider during Run 1 with a centre-of-mass ener ...

Study of a prototype module of a precision time-of-flight detector for particle identification at low momentum

Lucía Castillo García

In this thesis, Time Of internally Reflected Cherenkov light detector (TORCH), proposed for the LHCb Upgrade to perform three-sigma separation between kaon and pion up to 10 GeV/c, was studied. TORCH is designed to add significant particle identification c ...

The LHCb Silicon Tracker

Mark Tobin

The LHCb experiment is designed to perform high-precision measurements of CP violation and search for new physics using the enormous flux of beauty and charm hadrons produced at the LHC. The LHCb detector is a single-arm spectrometer with excellent trackin ...

An early separation scheme for the LHC luminosity upgrade

Guido Sterbini

In this thesis we evaluate the potential of the Early Separation Scheme for the Luminosity Upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main goal of the Early Separation Scheme is to reduce the crossing angle between the proton beams at the collision po ...

Direct Search for Standard Model-Like Higgs Boson and Software Integration of Data Acquisition Cards

Cédric Potterat

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator at CERN near Geneva is designed to collide protons with a centre-of-mass energy up to 14 TeV. It was tested at lower energy in November 2009. The world record collisions of beams of 1180 MeV was achieved. The LHC ...

LHC interaction region upgrade

Riccardo De Maria

The thesis analyzes the interaction region of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It proposes, studies and compares several upgrade options. The interaction region is the part of the LHC that hosts the particle detectors which analyze the collisions. An upgra ...

Direct search for Higgs boson in LHCb and contribution to the development of the vertex detector

Laurent Locatelli

The LHCb experiment (Large Hadron Collider beauty) is one of the four experiments under construction at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN near Geneva. It is planned to start in 2007 and its goal is the study of b-quark physics. The LHC is a circular ...
