The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva is an accelerator designed to collide protons at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 14 TeV. It is operational since November 2009 and has delivered collisions up to an energy of √s = 7 TeV in 2010. The LHCb ...

Betatron squeeze optimisation at the Large Hadron Collider based on first year of operation data

Xavier Buffat

In order to achieve the high luminosity expected from the Large Hadron Collider, the beta function at the interaction points must be minimised. As the aperture in the surroundings of the interaction points become smaller and smaller with decreasing beta fu ...

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 ...

LHCb Detector Momentum Calibration with the First Year Data and a Performance Study of CP Violation Measurement with the B°s -> J/[Psi][Phi] Decays

Géraldine Conti

A new area in particle physics has begun with the start of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN at the end of 2009, which collides protons at energies never reached before. To detect the products of the collisions, four main experiments are located arou ...

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 ...

A study of beam-beam effects in hadron colliders with a large number of bunches

Tatiana Pieloni

A particle beam is a collection of a large number of charges and represents an electromagnetic potential for other charges, therefore exerting forces on itself (space charge) and other beams (Beam-Beam Interactions, BBIs). The control of the BBIs in partic ...

EPFL2008

Colliders use final focus systems to reduce the transverse beam sizes at the interaction point in order to increase collision event rates. The maximum focal strength (gradient) of the quadrupoles, and the maximum beam size in them, together limit the beam ...

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 ...

Observation of the decay B̄0→Ds+Λp̄

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Stewart Cole, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Vladislav Balagura

We report the first observation of the decay B̄0→Ds+Λ p̄ with a statistical significance of 6.6σ. We measure B(B̄0→Ds+Λp̄)=(2.9±0.7±0.5±0.4) ×10-5, where the first error is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third error comes from the uncertain ...

Accuracy of the transverse emittance measurements of the CERN large hadron collider

High energy accelerators and storage rings are designed to collide charged particle beams and study their collision products. The production rate of the collision products has to be maximized in order to reduce the statistical uncertainty of the produced e ...
