Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
The discovery of the Higgs boson has provided the missing link in understanding one of the most profound mysteries of particle physics, namely how particles acquire mass. To deepen our understanding of this newly discovered particle and to extend our searches for new physics, analysis of very large data samples will be required. To enable this program, the instantaneous luminosity of the Large...

One of the ATLAS experiment's upgrade to take place in 2018
consists in the construction of new muon chambers. A third of these
gaseous detectors (so-called "thin gap chambers") will be built
and tested in Canada. The performance of the first prototype chamber
was investigated in a test beam at Fermilab in May 2014.
A description of the test setup at Fermilab as well as...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is the world's largest particle accelerator, colliding proton beams at
unprecedented centre-of-mass energies. ATLAS is a multipurpose experiment that records the products of LHC
collisions. In order to reconstruct the trajectories of particles produced in these collisions, ATLAS is equipped with a precision tracking system, the Inner Detector (ID). The...

The Diamond Beam Monitor (DBM) recently installed in ATLAS is the largest diamond pixel tracking detector ever deployed in the realm of high-energy particle physics. The DBM is designed for three main purposes: making high-precision luminosity measurements that will be essential for obtaining precision cross-section results, providing spatial information about background sources to help...
