The ATLAS experiment recorded 140 ifb in the LHC’s $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV Run 2, and the analysis of this high-quality and well-understood dataset continues. Canadian physicists are involved in all aspects of data analysis, from the trigger systems to reconstruction to physics results. Recent results, including highlights from Higgs properties and precision measurements of the Standard Model, as...
Electron objects are used in a large fraction of ATLAS publications. Better identification implemented in the electron triggers would allow to lower their transverse momentum threshold and increase their acceptance. In particular, analysis with many electrons in the final state such as the ones studying the Higgs, the W boson or Beyond de Standard Model phenomena can suffer from large,...
The international CALICE collaboration is dedicated to detector R&D in calorimetry for new experiments. All project concepts now use high granularity to maximally profit from Particle Flow Algorithms and thus improve jet energy resolution, device versatility and response performance. A review of innovative analog or digital detector types, using technologies such as silicon, scintillators or...
The Belle II experiment, based at SuperKEKB, is collecting e+e- collision data at the Upsilon(4S) resonance energy. The Belle II physics program is enabled by the (all-time high) record luminosity of SuperKEKB; a metric that also incurs record high beam background in the detector. Accurate simulation of physics events in the detector during collisions is vital to obtaining quality physics...
The analysis of collision events at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) presents significant computational challenges, particularly due to the need for large amounts of Monte Carlo simulation to reduce statistical uncertainties in the simulated datasets. The most computationally intensive task in Monte Carlo detector simulation is the simulation of high-energy particles interacting with the...
In order to make new discoveries within the realm of particle physics it is imperative that we are able to compare data collected using the ATLAS detector with theoretical predictions as well as results from other experiments. The process of correcting ATLAS data such that the effects of the detector are eliminated is known as unfolding. At present, commonly used unfolding methods require data...
