The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Phase II upgrade aims to increase the accelerator luminosity by a factor of 5-10. Due to the expected higher radiation levels and the aging of the current electronics, a new readout system of the ATLAS experiment hadronic calorimeter (TileCal) is needed. A prototype of the upgrade TileCal electronics has been tested using the beam from the Super Proton...
The response of the ATLAS hadronic Tile Calorimeter to single isolated
charged hadrons is probed analysing of LHC proton-proton collisions data
at √s = 13 TeV collected in 2017 and corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of 144.9 pb-1. The calorimeter response is determined as the
ratio of the energy deposited in the calorimeter (E) divided by the
momentum measured in the ATLAS Inner...
The Einstein Telescope, the European Gravitational Detector of the next generation, will need the largest ultrahigh vacuum system ever build. I will present some of the development towards this system.
Double Chooz was a reactor neutrino disappearance experiment operating between 2011 and 2018. Its primary purpose was precisely measuring the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$. The experimental setup consisted of two identical liquid scintillator detectors at average baselines of about 400 m and 1 km to two nuclear reactor cores in Chooz, France. The neutrinos were detected by measuring the...
Abstract. KM3NeT is a research infrastructure housing the next generation of Cherenkov neutrino telescopes. It consists of two detectors with similar technology currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea: ARCA (off-shore Sicily, Italy) and ORCA (off-shore Toulon, France) dedicated to Astroparticle and Oscillation Research with Cosmics in the Abyss, respectively. ARCA will...
KM3NeT is a European research infrastructure project currently under construction
at two locations in the Mediterranean Sea. The project aims to detect the neutrinos in the
energy range from a few GeV up to a few PeV with two detectors: ORCA (Oscillation
Research with Cosmics in the Abyss) for low energy neutrinos and ARCA (Astroparti-
cle Research with Cosmics in the Abyss) for high...
Energy production in our Sun, carried out through the fusion of hydrogen to helium, is accounted for by two distinct processes: the proton-proton (pp) chain and the carbon- nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle. Both sequences of reactions involve the production of several electron flavor neutrinos, the so-called solar neutrinos. Over the last decades, their detection has brought to light a useful...
