Even bigger data : preparing for the LHC/ATLAS upgrade

Oliveira, Vítor; Pina, António Manuel Silva; Castro, N.; Onofre, A.; Veloso, F.

The Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC) experiments’ data volume is expected to grow one order of magnitude following the machine operation conditions upgrade in 2013-2014. The challenge to the scientific results of our team is: i) how to deal with a 10-fold increase in the data volume that must be processed for each analysis, while ii) supporting the increase in the complexity of the analysis applications, iii) redu...


ATLAS sensitivity to Wtb anomalous couplings in top quark decays

Aguilar-Saavedra, J.A.; Carvalho, J.; Castro, N.; Onofre, A.; Veloso, F.

Abstract We study the sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to Wtb anomalous couplings in top pair production with semileptonic decay, pp?tt̄?W+bW-b̄ with one of the W bosons decaying leptonically and the other hadronically. Several observables are examined, including the W helicity fractions and new quantities recently introduced, such as the ratios of helicity fractions and some angular asymmetries d...


Study of ATLAS sensitivity to FCNC top decays

Carvalho, J.; Castro, N.; Chikovani, L.; Djobava, T.; Dodd, J.; McGrath, S.; Onofre, A.; Parsons, J.; Veloso, F.

Abstract The ATLAS experiment sensitivity to top quark flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) decays was studied at LHC using tt̄ events. While one of the top quarks is expected to follow the dominant Standard Model decay t?bW, the other decays through a FCNC channel, i.e. t?Zu(c), t??u(c) or t?gu(c). Different types of analyses, applied to each FCNC decay mode, were compared. The FCNC branching ratio sensiti...


Probing anomalous Wtb couplings in top pair decays

Aguilar-Saavedra, J.A.; Carvalho, J.; Castro, N.; Onofre, A.; Veloso, F.

Abstract We investigate several quantities, defined in the decays of top quark pairs, which can be used to explore non-standard Wtb interactions. Two new angular asymmetries are introduced in the leptonic decay of top (anti)quarks. Both are very sensitive to anomalous Wtb couplings, and their measurement allows for a precise determination of the W helicity fractions. We also examine other angular and energy as...


Hadron energy reconstruction for the ATLAS calorimetry in the framework of the ...

Akhmadaliev, S.; Amaral, P.; Ambrosini, G.; Amorim, A.; Anderson, K.; Andrieux, M. L.; Aubert, B.; Augé, E.; Badaud, F.; Baisin, L.; Barreiro, F.

This paper discusses hadron energy reconstruction for the ATLAS barrel prototype combined calorimeter (consisting of a lead-liquid argon electromagnetic part and an iron-scintillator hadronic part) in the framework of the non-parametrical method. The non-parametrical method utilizes only the known e/h ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of any parameters by a min...

Akhmadaliev, S.; Albiol, F.; Amaral, P.; Ambrosini, G.; Amorim, A.; Anderson, K.; Andrieux, M. L.; Aubert, B.; Augé, E.; Badaud, F.; Baisin, L.

A new combined test of an electromagnetic liquid argon accordion calorimeter and a hadronic scintillating-tile calorimeter was carried out at the CERN SPS. These devices are prototypes of the barrel calorimeter of the future ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The energy resolution of pions in the energy range from 10 to 300 GeV at an incident angle [theta] of about 12° is well described by the expression , where E is...


Hadronic shower development in Iron-Scintillator Tile Calorimetry

Amaral, P.; Amorim, A.; Anderson, K.; Barreira, G.; Benetta, R.; Berglund, S.; Biscarat, C.; Blanchot, G.; Blucher, E.; Bogush, A.; Bohm, C.; Boldea, V.

The lateral and longitudinal profiles of hadronic showers detected by a prototype of the ATLAS Iron-Scintillator Tile Hadron Calorimeter have been investigated. This calorimeter presents a unique longitudinal configuration of scintillator tiles. Using a fine-grained pion beam scan at 100 GeV, a detailed picture of transverse shower behaviour is obtained. The underlying radial energy densities for the four depth...


Evaluation of Fermi read-out of the Atlas Tilecal prototype

Ajaltouni, Z.; Albiol, F.; Alifanov, A.; Amaral, P.; Amelin, D.; Amorim, A.; Anderson, K.; Angelini, C.; Agnvall, S.; Antola, A.; Astesan, F.

Prototypes of the FERMI system have been used to read out a prototype of the ATLAS hadron calorimeter in a beam test at the CERN SPS. The FERMI read-out system, using a compressor and a sampling ADC, is compared to a standard charge integrating read-out by measuring the energy resolution of the calorimeter separately with the two systems on the same events. ; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TJ...
