Modeling The Sps Feedback And Feedforward Systems For Improved Performance, Jake Hargrove
Modeling The Sps Feedback And Feedforward Systems For Improved Performance, Jake Hargrove
Physics
The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is the last link in the chain of accelerators providing protons to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The SPS is currently the limiting factor on the maximum number of protons and thus collisions in the LHC. The SPS upgrade is under way to expand the discovery potential of the LHC. The accelerating system — Radio Frequency (RF) — is being improved. Models of the SPS RF feedback systems were developed. These models could assist with design choices, evaluating the upgraded system performance, and anticipate limitations and issues.
Jet Measurements With Proton-Proton Collisions At 7 Tev In Alice, Kevin Thompson
Jet Measurements With Proton-Proton Collisions At 7 Tev In Alice, Kevin Thompson
Physics
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most complex particle accelerator, with several experiments making discoveries at the frontiers of particle and nuclear physics. The ALICE experiment at the LHC explores the nature of the early Universe through relativistic nuclear collisions. The properties of the "quark-gluon" plasma of subatomic particles created can be investigated with particle jets, which are produced in the earliest moments of the collision. This paper will provide an overview of the analysis of particle jets in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions, which forms the baseline for understanding jet production in collisions of heavy …
Investigation Of Track-Cluster Matching Vs Track-Cell Matching In The Alice Detector At Cern, Kevin Coulombe
Investigation Of Track-Cluster Matching Vs Track-Cell Matching In The Alice Detector At Cern, Kevin Coulombe
Physics
The ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) Experiment is a detector that is one of four stationed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The goal of ALICE is to investigate the properties of the quark-gluon plasma, a new form of matter which only existed during the first microsecond of the Universe. ALICE measures the aftermath of the collision of two lead ions. Some information detected is the trajectory of the particles traveling through the tracking detectors and energy deposited in the calorimeters. Both the tracks and energy are required to determine the identities of the various particles as they travel …
