  1. 1. Misalignment effects on the physics performance of the inner tracker upgrade at the ALICE experiment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Author : Jesper Karlsson Gumprecht; [2024]
    Keywords : ALICE; ITS; ITS2; ITS3; O2; O2Physics; Distortion; Misalignment; Alignment; Realignment; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the physics performance of an approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving a novel and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During the thesis work, a method was developed in simulations to induce distortions to the detector’s geometry, and the resulting loss in physics performance was evaluated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Non-linear effects in the ATLAS track-counting luminosity measurement

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Daniel Gautam; [2023]
    Keywords : Particle physics; CERN; ATLAS; Track counting; Luminosity; Monte Carlo; Track Selection;

    Abstract : In this thesis the linearity of the ATLAS track-counting luminosity measurement is studied using two different sets Monte Carlo simulated crossings of proton-proton bunches. A primary high-momentum, or hard, interaction must be chosen for the Monte Carlo simulation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Glauber Monte Carlo for proton-proton and virtual-photon-proton collisions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Oscar Sepp; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In high energy physics, we want to probe the inner structures and behaviours of the particles that are the building blocks of our universe. This is often done by colliding nuclei together. READ MORE

  5. 4. Probing Charm Production with Three-Particle Correlations in pp Collisions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Author : Kim Haupt; [2023]
    Keywords : pp collisions; charm production; three-particle correlation; Pythia; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. READ MORE

  6. 5. Laser Metrology for assembly of ATLAS ITk-Strips

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Jonathan Arvin; Johannes Berg Wallin; Hugo Eskner; Olof Lindman Jardfelt; [2023]
    Keywords : Laser metrology; ATLAS; Inner Tracker ITk ; Micro Epsilon;

    Abstract : The ATLAS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider has been instrumental in scientific discoveries,including the Higgs particle. As part of the High Luminosity (HL) upgrade, the current Inner Detector (ID) isbeing replaced by the new IInner Tracker (ITk), and Uppsala University is collaborating with industrypartner NOTE to produce around 700 modules for the ITk.
