A MPGD (Micro Pattern Gaseous Detector) based TPC can provide higher tracking resolution thanks to its small ExB effect compared to MWPC based detectors. We're investigating 2-track separation capability for a GEM-based TPC using electron beam. Since there is not much multi-track for each event, we have produced a pseudo multi-track event merging 2 events. We will report the details of the...
Particle identification is one of the most important and difficult goal for high energy physics.
Ionization of matter by charged particles is the primary mechanism used for particle identification (dE/dx), but the large and inherent uncertainties in total energy deposition represent a limit to the particle separation capabilities: even in the most favorable momentum region (relativistic...
A prime target of the ILC physics program is the precision measurement of the masses of known fundamental particles such as the top quark and the Higgs, W, and Z bosons. The measurement of the absolute center-of-mass energy scale is a primary issue for most determinations, and this will rely critically on the knowledge of the tracker momentum scale. By using particle decays, especially of...
The alignment of a detector aims at the description of the detector geometry as accurately as possible, such that the tracking resolution is not degraded by detector misalignments. The algorithm used for the alignment of the Inner Detector (ID) of the ATLAS experiment consists of a minimisation of the track-to-hit residuals in a sequence of hierarchical levels, ranging from the mechanical...
