Measurement of the W boson polarization in top quark decays with the ATLAS detector
2012
This paper presents measurements of the polarization of W bosons in top quark decays, derived from t¯t events with missing transverse momentum, one charged lepton and at least four jets, or two charged leptons and at least two jets. Data from pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV were collected with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb−1. The measured fractions of longitudinally, left- and right-handed polarization are F0 = 0.67 ± 0.07, FL = 0.32 ± 0.04 and FR = 0.01 ± 0.05, in agreement with the Standard Model predictions. As the polarization of the W bosons in top quark decays is sensitive to the Wtb vertex Lorentz structure and…
ATLAS Inner Detector alignment and analysis of the Wtb vertex structure with single top quarks
2018
Esta tesis puede ser dividida en dos partes diferentes: La primera trata sobre el alineamiento del detector interno de ATLAS, y la segunda sobre el estudio de la estructura del vértice Wtb mediante el uso de quarks top producidos en solitario. La primera parte presenta las técnicas utilizadas para alinear el detector interno de ATLAS, así como las mejoras implementadas en algoritmo de alineamiento durante el Run-II del LHC. Durante la toma de datos, tienen lugar en el detector interno diversos movimientos y deformaciones dinámicos que comprometen la calidad de los datos recogidos. Los dos más relevantes son un movimiento vertical del detector de Píxeles, y el combado del IBL. En el alineami…
All-Fiber Laser With Intracavity Acousto-Optic Dynamic Mode Converter for Efficient Generation of Radially Polarized Cylindrical Vector Beams
2017
We report an all-fiber laser that emits a radially polarized cylindrical vector beam (CVB) at 1 μm based on an intracavity acousto-optic mode converter. We efficiently generate the CVB, taking advantage of the acousto-optic coupling from the HE11 mode to the TM01 mode in a two-mode fiber. The laser can be switched from emitting a Gaussian-like beam to a radially polarized CVB. Radially polarized CVBs with modal and polarization purities >98% and a maximum power of 65 mW were generated.
Spectroscopie des hexafluorures à nombre impair d'électrons
1995
From a theoretical point of view, a tensorial formalism adapted to the study of molecules or octahedral ions with a half-integer angular momentum has been developed for the first time. We have used here the method of projective representations, more consistent than that of double groups. A complete set of coupling coefficients and formulas, as well as the corresponding computing programs have been elaborated. This has firstly allowed to write a simple model describing the vibronic structure of colored hexafluorides. Then, somme applications of this formalism to the study of rovibronic couplings of XY6 molecules in a fourfold degenerate electronic state have been considered, especially conce…
Context–content systems of random variables : The Contextuality-by-Default theory
2016
Abstract This paper provides a systematic yet accessible presentation of the Contextuality-by-Default theory. The consideration is confined to finite systems of categorical random variables, which allows us to focus on the basics of the theory without using full-scale measure-theoretic language. Contextuality-by-Default is a theory of random variables identified by their contents and their contexts, so that two variables have a joint distribution if and only if they share a context. Intuitively, the content of a random variable is the entity the random variable measures or responds to, while the context is formed by the conditions under which these measurements or responses are obtained. A …
Structure and dynamics in liquid bismuth and Bin clusters: A density functional study
2014
Density functional/molecular dynamics simulations with more than 500 atoms have been performed on liquid bismuth at 573, 773, 923, and 1023 K and on neutral Bi clusters with up to 14 atoms. There are similar structural patterns (coordination numbers, bond angles, and ring patterns) in the liquid and the clusters, with significant differences from the rhombohedral crystalline form. We study the details of the structure (structure factor, pair, and cavity distribution functions) and dynamical properties (vibration frequencies, diffusion constants, power spectra), and compare with experimental results where available. While the three short covalent bonds typical to pnictogens are characteristi…
Quantum coherent manipulation of spin information in molecular nanomagnets
2023
Los sistemas cuánticos de dos niveles basados en estados de espín, conocidos como ``qubits de espín'', son bloques prometedores para el desarrollo de tecnologías cuánticas. Entre las distintas plataformas físicas, los qubits de espín definidos en imanes de molécula única (SMM) son candidatos prometedores porque su estructura electrónica puede ajustarse fácilmente mediante ingeniería química (es decir, el Hamiltoniano de espín molecular puede modificarse con facilidad). Sin embargo, los qubits moleculares de espín generados en SMM se enfrentan a varios retos: coherencia cuántica frágil, control coherente insuficiente de los estados de espín y generación de entrelazamiento entre los qubits de…
