Le LHC entrera dans sa phase à haute luminosité vers 2027 et pour profiter de l’augmentation importante du taux de collisions, ATLAS, et plus particulièrement son trajectographe doivent être améliorés en terme de résistance aux radiations et traitement de données à un taux accru. Grace au nouveau design du trajectographe at à l’amélioration d’algorithmes d’étiquetage des saveurs de jets, l’identification de jets issus de la désintégration de B hadrons sera facilitée et des canaux de physique possédant des quarks b dans leurs états finaux seront plus facilement accessible, parmi lesquels le couplage trilinéaire du boson de Higgs. La résistance aux raditions des capteurs à pixels en silicium joue un rôle primordial dans leur utilisation auprès des experience LHC. La quantification de l’impact des rayonnements sur les capteurs silicium est un enjeu crucial : un outil de digitisation des dommages des rayonnements a été développé pour modéliser l’impact des radiations dans les simulations Monte Carlo d’ATLAS. Le test de capteurs à pixels planaires, développés par le LPNHE et la fonderie FBK, constitue la partie principale de cette thèse. Les trois productions de capteurs testées possèdent plusieurs designs technologiques. Pour maximiser l’acceptance géométrique du détecteur, des capteurs à bord mince ont été développés. Deux options de polarisation durant les phases de test ont ausssi été étudiée. Les capteurs ont été testés à plusieurs phases d’irradiation. L’optimisation d’algorithme de b-tagging basé sur la reconstruction de vertex secondaire sera aussi présentée, ainsi qu’une étude concernant les performances du b-tagging à haut pT . / By 2027, the LHC will enter its high luminosity regime, providing protons protons collisions at an unprecedented rate. The LHC experiments whill have to be upgraded to cope with this higher data rate. The new ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) will allow a better identification of b-quarks and interesting physics signature with b-quarks in the final states such as the Higgs trilinear coupling will be reachable. The work performed during this thesis consisted in testing planar pixel sensors for the ITk, as well as optimizing b-tagging algorithms. In parallel, a study on the radiation damage on silicon pixel sensors have been performed. The radiation hardness of silicon sensors plays a determinant role as it allows them to be efficient in the highly radiative environment at LHC. Understanding the impact of radiation in silicon sensors is a major challenge and a radiation damage digitizer which models radiation damage effects in ATLAS Monte Carlo simulations is currently developed by the ATLAS experiment. Three ITk silicon planar pixel sensors productions of LPNHE and FBK have been developed, produced and tested on beam. Sensors from these three productions aim to be part of the ITk and have to demonstrate good performance after being irradiated at high fluences. Several technological designs have been investigated, such as temporary metal biasing option and active edges which maximize the geometrical acceptance of the sensors. The optimization of b-tagging SV1 algorithm (a secondary-vertex based algorithm) will be pre- sented as well as a study on the extrapolation of b-tagging performances at high pT.

No / Here we report a hierarchical composite structure composed of few-layers molybdenum disulfide nanosheets supported by vertical graphene on conductive carbon cloth (MDNS/VG/CC) for high-performance electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In the fabrication, 3D vertical graphene is first prepared on carbon cloth by a micro-wave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) and then few-layers MoS2 nanosheets are in-situ synthesized on the surface of the vertical graphene through a simple hydrothermal reaction. This integrated catalyst exhibits an excellent HER electrocatalytic activity including an onset potential of 50 mV, an overpotential at 10 mA cm(-2) (eta(10)) of 78 mV, a Tafel slop of 53 mV dec(-1), and an excellent cycling stability in acid solution. The excellent catalytic performance can be ascribed to the abundant active edges provided by the vertical MoS2 nanosheets, as well as the effective electron transport route provided by the graphene arrays on the conductive substrate. Moreover, the vertical graphene offers robust anchor sites for MoS2 nanosheets and appropriate intervals for electrolyte infiltration. This not only benefits hydrogen convection and release but also avoids the damaging or restacking of catalyst in electrochemical processes. / This work was financially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant nos. 61176007, 51372213, and 51402343).
