Within the Phase-II upgrade of the LHC, the readout electronics of the ATLAS LAr Calorimeters is prepared for high luminosity operation expecting a pile-up of up to 200 simultaneous pp interactions. Moreover, the calorimeter signals of up to 25 subsequent collisions are overlapping, which increases the difficulty of energy reconstruction. Real-time processing of digitized pulses sampled at 40...
Data is what drives all research forward, regardless of scientific discipline. At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland, the data stream of registered events can reach about 60 million megabytes per second, making it physically impossible to save all the produced data with current storage technology. This means that data selection has to be performed at an early stage in the...
We study the prospect of determining the CP violating phase in $\tau - $lepton Yukawa coupling at the $e^-p$ Collider (LHeC). The beam energy that we have considered for the electron and proton is 150 GeV and 7 TeV respectively. The Higgs is produced through charged current as well as neutral neutral current process with a focus on the earlier because of the higher cross section. We have...
We present a novel implementation of classification using boosted decision trees (BDT) on field programmable gate arrays (FPGA). Two example problems are presented, in the binary classification of electrons vs. photons and in the selection of vector boson fusion-produced Higgs bosons vs. the rejection of the multijet processes. The firmware implementation of binary classification requiring 100...
The present Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC)trigger system in the ATLAS muon barrel was designed according to a reference luminosity of 10^34 cm-2 s-1 with a safety factor of 5, with respect to the simulated background rates, corresponding to about 300 fb-1 integrated luminosity. HL-LHC will reach a 7.5 times higher luminosity, and correspondingly higher rate, an expected integrated luminosity...
Fixed target studies at the LHC energies (SNN about 80-120 GeV) are considered as a powerful tool for exploring QCD phase diagram in a weakly known domain of densities and temperatures with variety of possible peculiarities in the EOS in entrance and exit channels in high energy heavy ions collisions. The LHCb Collaboration having implemented the SMOG2 gaseous setup with a unique feature of...
