Measurement of the differential t(t)over-bar production cross section as a function of the jet mass and extraction of the top quark mass in hadronic decays of boosted top quarks

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Qian Wang, Jan Steggemann, Yiming Li, Anna Mascellani, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Rakesh Chawla, Matteo Galli

A measurement of the jet mass distribution in hadronic decays of Lorentz-boosted top quarks is presented. The measurement is performed in the lepton + jets channel of top quark pair production (t (t) over bar) events, where the lepton is an electron or muo ...

Measurement of B+, B-0 and Lambda(0)(b) production in pPb collisions at, root(NN)-N-s=8.16 TeV

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Christoph Frei, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Elena Graverini, Matthieu Philippe Luther Marinangeli

The production of B+, B-0 and Lambda(0)(b), hadrons is studied in proton-lead collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of root(NN)-N-s T = 8.16 TeV recorded with the LHCb detector at the LHC. The measurement uses a dataset corresponding to an ...

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 ...

Measurement of the ratio of B-c(+) branching fractions to J/psi pi(+) and J/psi mu(+)nu(mu) final states

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Michel De Cian

The first measurement that relates semileptonic and hadronic decay rates of the B-c(+) meson is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to 1.0 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector. The measured value of the ra ...

Prospective constraints on Lorentz violation from ultrahigh-energy photon detection

Sergey Sibiryakov

We point out that violation of Lorentz invariance affects the interaction of high-energy photons with the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field. In a certain parameter region this interaction becomes suppressed and the photons escape observation, passing t ...

IceTop: The surface component of IceCube

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

IceTop, the surface component of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, is an air shower array with an area of 1 km(2). The detector allows a detailed exploration of the mass composition of primary cosmic rays in the energy range from about 10 ...

A search for heavy long-lived staus in the LHCb detector at √s = 7 and 8 TeV

Thi Viet Nga La

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been producing pp collisions at 7 and 8 TeV since 2010 and promises a new era of discoveries in particle physics. One of its experiments, the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment, was constructed to study CP vi ...

Development of the Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the Precise Measurement of the Cosmic Ray Positron Fraction with PEBS

Lesya Shchutska

Since almost a century ago, it is known that a quarter of the energy density in the Universe is represented by the dark matter which has been seen only through gravitational interaction. Despite of intensive searches for a dark matter constituent in differ ...

Search for neutrino-induced cascades with five years of AMANDA data

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

We report on the search for electromagnetic and hadronic showers ("cascades") produced by a diffuse flux of extraterrestrial neutrinos in the AMANDA neutrino telescope. Data for this analysis were recorded during 1001 days of detector livetime in the years ...
