SU-8 as a Material for Microfabricated Particle Physics Detectors

Philippe Renaud, Alessandro Mapelli, Sébastien Jiguet, Pietro Maoddi

Several recent detector technologies developed for particle physics applications are based on microfabricated structures. Detectors built with this approach generally exhibit the overall best performance in terms of spatial and time resolution. Many proper ...

Instrument intercomparison in the pulsed neutron fieldsat the CERN HiRadMat facility

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Daniel Perrin

An intercomparison of the performances of active neutron detectors was carried out in pulsed neutron fields in the new HiRadMat facility at CERN. Five detectors were employed: four of them (two ionization chambers and two rem counters) are routinely employ ...

Improvement in fast particle track reconstruction with robust statistics

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Sofia Vallecorsa, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

The IceCube project has transformed 1 km(3) of deep natural Antarctic ice into a Cherenkov detector Muon neutrinos are detected and their direction is inferred by mapping the light produced by the secondary muon track inside the volume instrumented with ph ...

Performance of the LHCb Vertex Locator

Jian Wang, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Mark Tobin, Matthew Needham, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Reto Frei

The Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon microstrip detector that surrounds the proton-proton interaction region in the LHCb experiment. The performance of the detector during the first years of its physics operation is reviewed. The system is operated in va ...

Application of vertex and mass constraints in track-based alignment

Olivier Schneider, Christophe Salzmann, Matthew Needham, Maurizio Martinelli, Frédéric Guillaume Dupertuis, Vincent Fave, Géraldine Conti, Louis Nicolas, Gerhard Raven

The software alignment of planar tracking detectors using samples of charged particle trajectories may lead to global detector distortions that affect vertex and momentum resolution. We present an alignment procedure that constrains such distortions by mak ...

Effect of soluble surfactant on bubble persistence and bubble-produced aerosol particles

Robin Lewis Modini

The effect of soluble surfactant on the persistence of salt-water bubbles and their ability to produce aerosol particles upon bursting was investigated. Ensembles of individual, millimetric bubbles were produced in NaCl solutions of varying surfactant conc ...

Search for Higgs Bosons Decaying into Long-Lived Exotic Particles in the LHCb Experiment

Neal Gauvin

The four experiments of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have collected their first data at √s = 7 TeV, hailing an exciting era in particle physics. The LHCb detector is a single-arm forward spectrometer, dedicated to precision measurements of CP vi ...

A Novel Alignment Procedure and Results for the LHCb Silicon Tracker Detector

Frédéric Guillaume Dupertuis

The LHCb experiment is designed to perform high-precision measurements of CP-violation and rare decays of B hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider. The Silicon Tracker (ST) is a silicon strip detector intended to precisely measure the particle trajectories p ...

Construction of the Inner Tracker and Sensitivity to the B°s -> [mu][mu] Decay at LHCb

Marc-Olivier Bettler

LHCb is one of the four main experiments hosted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The LHC first started in September 2008 and, after a one-year hiccough, restarted in November 2009. In the course of three weeks, the HEP community witnessed the fi ...
