Antiproton tagging and vertex fitting in a Timepix3 detector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-07)Studies of antimatter are important for understanding our universe at a fundamental level. There are still unsolved problems, such as the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The AEgIS experiment at CERN aims at ... -
Calibration of the photon spectrometer PHOS of the ALICE experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The procedure for the energy calibration of the high granularity electromagnetic calorimeter PHOS of the ALICE experiment is presented. The methods used to perform the relative gain calibration, to evaluate the geometrical ... -
Detection of low energy antiproton annihilations in a segmented silicon detector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06)The goal of the AEḡIS experiment at the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN, is to measure directly the Earth’s gravitational acceleration on antimatter by measuring the free fall of a pulsed, cold antihydrogen beam. The ... -
Electron and photon energy calibration with the ATLAS detector using 2015–2016 LHC proton-proton collision data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This paper presents the electron and photon energy calibration obtained with the ATLAS detector using about 36 fb−1 of LHC proton-proton collision data recorded at √ s = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. The different calibration ... -
Electron and photon performance measurements with the ATLAS detector using the 2015-2017 LHC proton-proton collision data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper describes the reconstruction of electrons and photons with the ATLAS detector, employed for measurements and searches exploiting the complete LHC Run 2 dataset. An improved energy clustering algorithm is introduced, ... -
Modelling radiation damage to pixel sensors in the ATLAS detector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Silicon pixel detectors are at the core of the current and planned upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Given their close proximity to the interaction point, these detectors will be exposed to an unprecedented amount ... -
Performance of the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker in Run 1 of the LHC: Tracker properties
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The tracking performance parameters of the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) as part of the ATLAS inner detector are described in this paper for different data-taking conditions in proton-proton, proton-lead and ... -
Production and integration of the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)During the shutdown of the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2013-2014, an additional pixel layer was installed between the existing Pixel detector of the ATLAS experiment and a new, smaller radius beam pipe. The motivation ... -
Resolution of the ATLAS muon spectrometer monitoreddrift tubes in LHC Run 2
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The momentum measurement capability of the ATLAS muon spectrometer relies fundamentally on the intrinsic single-hit spatial resolution of the monitored drift tube precision tracking chambers. Optimal resolution is achieved ...
