Intelligence on Instruments: The Particle Physics Case
- Ian Tomalin (STFC Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory (GB))
Description
Convener: Dr Ian R. Tomalin, PhD Oxford University, postdocs at Imperial College and CERN, Ian Tomalin is an academic researcher from Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). He participated to the ALEPH experiment at the Large electron-positron, LEP, at CERN, He is currently the UK Workpackage leader for CMS HL-LHC Track Finder and the convenor for CMS upgrade tracking algorithms group. His work predominantly focuses on the track finding algorithm for the CMS HL-LHC silicon tracker upgrade in backend electronics (see the Hands-on Lab he organized at this school).
Abstract: The lecture will introduce the technology and the science of the mega-scale neutrino experiments Hyper-Kamiokande and DUNE that are currently being built in Japan and the US. While the neutrino was discovered experimentally over 60 years ago, it has not given up all its secrets just yet. Oscillations between its flavour states are now well established and have been studied in detail...
Abstract: Neutrino oscillation discovered in 1998 through the observation of atmospheric neutrinos by the Super-Kamiokande experiment implies that neutrinos have non-zero masses, which was the first evidence of physics beyond the standard model of elementary particles where neutrinos are massless. Since then, thanks to many neutrino experiments based on solar, atmospheric, accelerator and...
Abstract: The lecture will review the Physics and environmental challenges to be confronted by experiments to successfully run at a high energy Muon (3 to 10 TeV) or a high energy Hadron proton-proton collider (100 or more TeV). This means new generation of tracking detectors (both microvertex, near the colliding region and outer detectors i.e. at large radius from the beam pipes), the...
