Energy-Efficient Particle Accelerators for Research

Particle accelerators are the drivers for large-scale research infrastructures for particle physics but also for many branches of condensed matter research. The types of accelerator-driven research infrastructures include particle colliders, neutron, muon ...

Testing lepton flavour universality in $B^+\to K^+\pi^+\pi^-\ell^+\ell^-$ decays with LHCb

Sara Celani

This PhD thesis aims at testing one of the fundamental properties of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics: the lepton flavour universality (LFU), which states that

W

and

Z

bosons are equally coupled to the three lepton generations. In this work, ...

Exploring the potential of FCC-hh to search for particles from $B$ mesons

Lesya Shchutska, Alexey Boyarsky

The Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh) is a proposed successor of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). FCC-hh would push both the energy and intensity frontiers of searches for new physics particles. In particular, due to higher energy and luminosity than at th ...

Radiation Hardness Study of Single-Photon Avalanche Diode for Space and High Energy Physics Applications

Edoardo Charbon, Emanuele Ripiccini, Ming-Lo Wu, Ekin Kizilkan, Pouyan Keshavarzian, Francesco Gramuglia, Kazuhiro Morimoto, Carlo Alberto Fenoglio

The radiation hardness of 180 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) and 55 nm bipolar-CMOS-double-diffused MOS single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) is studied using 10 MeV and 100 MeV protons up to a displacement damage dose of 1 PeV/g. It is ...

Experimental History and the History of Experience: Reconstructing the Scientific Expeditions of the 1770s to Mont Buet

Jérôme Baudry

On September 20, 1770, the brothers Jean-André and Guillaume-Antoine Deluc, two scientists from Geneva, finally reached the summit of Mont Buet (3096m) after two unsuccessful attempts. From this vantage point overlooking the Alps and Mont Blanc, they perfo ...

A Collegial Rivalry? Borelli and Viviani’s Relationship between the Divinazione and the Cimento

Simon François Dumas Primbault

When Giovanni Borelli met Galileo Galilei in Florence in 1640, he may also have crossed path with the young Vincenzio Viviani (1622–1703), last disciple of the great astronomer. He could not know, though, that he would later have a rather turbulent relatio ...

Amplitude analysis for the measurement of the photon polarisation in B rightarrow K pi pi gamma decays

Violaine Bellée

This work proposes a method to measure the photon polarisation in

B^+ \rightarrow K^+ \pi^- \pi^+ \gamma

decays and prepares the necessary elements for this measurement using the data sets collected by the LHCb experiment at CERN in

Concentration of particles larger than 2.5 nm collected during the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

The concentration of particles larger than 2.5 nm was measured with an ultrafine condensation particle counter (UCPC). The concentration was corrected for diffusional losses in the inlet based on the neutral cluster and air ion spectrometer (NAIS) size dis ...

Size distribution of neutral and charged particles smaller than 42 nm collected during the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

The size distribution of neutral and charged particles was measured using a neutral cluster and air ion spectrometer (NAIS) instrument. The concentration was corrected for diffusional losses in the inlet. The concentration and temporal dynamics of small pa ...

Stoic: Towards Disciplined Capabilities

Martin Odersky, Nada Amin, Fengyun Liu, Sandro Stucki, Paolo Giosuè Giarrusso

Capabilities are widely used in the design of software systems to ensure security. A system of capabilities can become a mess in the presence of objects and functions: objects may leak capabilities and functions may capture capabilities. They make reasonin ...
