Analýza rozpadu B0 na K* mu mu na experimentu ATLAS / Angular analysis of the B0 to K* mu mu decay with the ATLAS detector

Carli, Ina January 2019 (has links)
An angular analysis of the rare decay B0 → K∗ (K+ π− )µ+ µ− is presented. The study is based on a data sample from pp collisions at centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1 . An extended unbinned maximum-likelihood fit of the decay angular distribution is used to measure the CP-averaged angular observables FL, S3, S4, S5, S7 and S8 and the cor- responding form-factor independent observables P1, P4, P5, P6 and P8. The measurements are performed in the region 0.04 GeV2 < q2 < 6 GeV2 , where q is the dimuon invariant mass. The results are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions and com- patible with measurements published by other experiments. The most signifi- cant deviations are observed for parameters P4, P5 at the level of 2.7 standard deviations and for P8 which is 1.9 standard deviations away from one of the predictions. The P5 deviation in bin 4 GeV2 < q2 < 6 GeV2 is consistent with the one reported by the LHCb collaboration. The second part of this work shortly summarises the operation of the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker, testing of the prototype module for the Inner Tracker strip upgrade, and the monitoring of non-collision background which was devel- oped as a part of this thesis.

Estimation of the Z→vv background to New Physics searches in ATLAS

Sandoval, Tanya January 2013 (has links)
This thesis describes a series of studies related to searches for new phenomena, beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, in high energy hadron collisions. In such searches, it becomes crucial to identify the Standard Model backgrounds in order to resolve a potential new signal. The thesis presents a method that uses photon events to determine one of such backgrounds, caused by the production of Z boson events. The studies performed to validate the method, both theoretically and experimentally, are presented and the method was shown to be successful as well as to provide reliable results. Theoretically, the method is found to be robust up to a ~10% uncertainty. Experimentally, the method is implemented to estimate the Z(vv) + jets background for the SUSY 0l + E_T^miss + jets search in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, where this background is one of the most important components for the final sensitivity and is impossible to measure directly. The main experimental results presented are the latest from ATLAS at the time of writing, corresponding to the full dataset of proton-proton collisions delivered by the LHC in 2011 (4.7 fb^-1) at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV. Given that this method has been mainstream since 2010, brief comparisons to the results from previous analyses that used smaller datasets with the same centre of mass energy are also given, as well as additional cross-checks that support the robustness and validity of the method. The results presented here have contributed to the determination of the world's best limits with respect to SUSY models, which currently exclude equal mass squarks and gluinos below 1.4 TeV.

Energy Reconstruction and high-speed Data Transmission with FPGAs for the Upgrade of the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter at LHC

Stärz, Steffen 19 May 2015 (has links)
The Liquid Argon calorimeter of the ATLAS detector at CERN near Geneva is equipped with improved readout and trigger electronics for the operation at higher luminosity LHC in the frame of several upgrades (Phase-0, I, and II). Special attention is given to an early digitisation of detector raw data and their following digital data transmission and processing via FPGAs already for the Level-1 trigger. The upgrades additionally foresee to provide higher spatial granularity information for the Level-1 trigger in order to improve its performance for low momentum single particles at increased collision rates. The first part of this dissertation contains the development and implementation of a modular detector simulation framework, AREUS, which allows to analyse different filter algorithms for the energy reconstruction as well as their performance with respect to the expected digitised detector raw data. In this detector simulation framework the detailed algorithmic functionality of the FPGAs has been taken into account. Various filter algorithms, especially the Optimal Filter and a Wiener Filter with Forward Correction, are discussed with regard to their performance in energy reconstruction of the future Liquid Argon calorimeter trigger system. In the second part of this thesis, the high-speed data transfer for the acquisition of the trigger data is being developed. For this purpose, a generic 10 Gigabit Ethernet UDP stack is designed in VHDL, that is currently applied in an ALTERA® Stratix-IV FPGA as part of the readout electronics of a demonstrator setup in the context of the Phase-0 Upgrade. After implementation in a prototype electronics board, data transfer from the detector front-end is realised. A successful test in the demonstrator setup installed in the ATLAS detector verifying the correct transmission of the Liquid Argon calorimeter trigger signals concludes this work. / Das Flüssig-Argon-Kalorimeter des ATLAS-Detektors am CERN bei Genf wird für den Betrieb am LHC mit erhöhter Luminosität im Rahmen mehrerer Upgrades (Phase-0, I und II) mit verbesserter Auslese- und Triggerelektronik ausgestattet. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt hierbei auf der frühzeitigen Digitalisierung der Detektorrohdaten und deren folgende digitale Übertragung sowie Verarbeitung mittels FPGAs bereits für den Level-1 Trigger. Die Upgrades sehen zusätzlich vor, dem Level-1 Trigger eine höhere Ortsauflösung bereitzustellen um seine Leistungsfähigkeit der Energierekonstruktion von niedrigenergetischen Teilchen bei erhöhter Kollisionsrate zu verbessern. Der erste Teil dieser Dissertation beinhaltet die Entwicklung und Umsetzung einer modularen Detektorsimulationsumgebung, AREUS, mit der verschiedene Filteralgorithmen zur Energierekonstruktion sowie deren Performanz in Abhängigkeit der erwarteten digitalisierten Detektorrohdaten analysiert werden können. Dabei wurde in der Simulationsumgebung die Funktionalität der Rechenarithmetik der später verwendeten FPGAs berücksichtigt. Verschiedener Filteralgorithmen, im Besonderen der Optimal Filter und ein Wiener Filter mit Korrekturglied, werden im Hinblick auf ihre Performanz der Energierekonstruktion für das zukünftige Triggersystem des Flüssig-Argon-Kalorimeters diskutiert. Der zweite Teil dieser Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Hochgeschwindigkeitsdatenübertragung zur Erfassung von Triggerdaten. Zu diesem Zweck wird ein generischer 10 Gigabit Ethernet UDP Stack in VHDL entworfen, der als Teil der Ausleseelektronik eines Demonstrator-Testaufbaus im Rahmen des Phase-0 Upgrades in einem ALTERA® Stratix-IV FPGA aktuell zum Einsatz kommt. Nach Implementierung in einem Prototypen einer Auslesekarte konnte ein Transfer von Detektordaten realisiert werden. Eine Überprüfung am Demonstrator-Testaufbau, welcher im ATLAS Detektor installiert ist, schließt diese Dissertation ab. Sie hat eine korrekte Übertragung von Triggersignalen des Flüssig-Argon-Kalorimeters erfolgreich bestätitgt.

Analysis of upsilon production in pp collisions at 7 TeV with the ALICE Muon Spectrometer

Ahn, Sang Un 05 December 2011 (has links) (PDF)
L'expérience ALICE est une des quatre grandes expériences fonctionnant auprès du LHC au CERN et dont le but principal est l'étude du plasma de quarks et de gluons (ou QGP) produit dans les collisions d'ions lourds. Une des observables privilégiées pour sonder le QGP est la production des quarkonia lourds qui doit être modifiée dans les collisions d'ions lourds comparées aux collisions pp. L'intérêt des quarkonia n'est pas limité aux collisions d'ions lourds puisque leur mécanisme de production dans les collisions pp n'est pas encore très bien compris. Le but de ce travail de thèse est l'estimation de la section efficace de production des Υ(nS) en collision pp à une énergie de s = 7 TeV à l'aide du canal de désintégration en dimuon avec le spectromètre à muons de l'expérience ALICE. Le spectromètre à muons dans ALICE est situé à grande rapidité −4 < y < −2.5. Il consiste en un système d'absorbeurs, un dipôle chaud, des stations de trajectographie et de déclenchement. Ce travail de thèse décrit une contribution au logiciel de contrôle en ligne (online monitoring) du système de déclenchement des muons qui a été développé dans un esprit d'efficacité. Une partie des données enregistrées en 2010 a été analysée pour estimer la section efficace de production du Υ. La section efficace de production du J/ψ publiée par ALICE à la même énergie est exploitée par la méthode d'estimation. Le résultat préliminaire obtenu dans l'intervalle en rapidité 2.5 < y < 4 est σΥ(1S) × BΥ(1S)→µ+µ− =0.62 ± 0.38(stat.) ±00..1221 (syst.) nb par unité de rapidité.
