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…
Real-time data processing in the ALICE High Level Trigger at the LHC
2019
At the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, atomic nuclei are collided at ultra-relativistic energies. Many final-state particles are produced in each collision and their properties are measured by the ALICE detector. The detector signals induced by the produced particles are digitized leading to data rates that are in excess of 48 GB/$s$. The ALICE High Level Trigger (HLT) system pioneered the use of FPGA- and GPU-based algorithms to reconstruct charged-particle trajectories and reduce the data size in real time. The results of the reconstruction of the collision events, available online, are used for high level data quality and detector-performance monitoring and real-tim…

Measurement of the SMC muon beam polarisation using the asymmetry in the elastic scattering off polarised electrons
2000
A muon beam polarimeter was built for the SMC experiment at the CERN SPS, for beam energies of 100 and 190 GeV. The beam polarisation is determined from the asymmetry in the elastic scattering off the polarised electrons of a ferromagnetic target whose magnetisation is periodically reversed. At muon energies of 100 and 190 GeV the measured polarisation is P-mu = -0.80 +/- 0.03 (stat.) +/- 0.02 (syst.) and P-mu = - 0.797 +/- 0.011 (stat.) +/- 0.012 (syst.), respectively. These results agree with measurements of the beam polarisation using a shape analysis of the decay positron energy spectrum. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Silicon Strip Detectors for the ATLAS End-Cap Tracker at the HL-LHC
2017
El LHC se ha convertido en el acelerador más potente de todos los tiempos. Su principal objetivo es dar respuesta a las limitaciones del Modelo Estándar y revelar la física más allá de él. El descubrimiento del bosón de Higgs en 2012 supuso el comienzo de una era en el campo de la física de partículas donde conseguir la mayor precisión posible en las medidas es vital. En el LHC se aceleran y colisionan protones con una energía nominal de centro de masas de 14 TeV y una luminosidad instantánea nominal de 10^34 cm−2 s−1. Para la máxima luminosidad, los protones son acelerados en paquetes de 1.15 ×10^11 protones cada uno, con una frecuencia de 40 MHz (esto supone una colisión cada 25 ns). Esta…
Design and development of safety and control systems in ATLAS
2021
El gran colisionador de hadrones, o LHC, es el acelerador de partículas más grande y potente del mundo. Ha sido construido por el CERN, la Organización Europea para la Investigación Nuclear, entre 1998 y 2008 en Ginebra, Suiza. Sucesivas mejoras en el LHC supondrán a partir de mediados del 2027 un incremento de la luminosidad, cuando pasará a llamarse High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). Esta tesis se divide en dos partes, por una parte la seguridad y operación de la infraestructura y por otra los sistemas de control y toma de datos. La primera parte de la tesis se dedica a la seguridad y operación de la infraestructura. Después de más de 10 años de funcionamiento, el riesgo de posibles fallos en …
Latest Developments and Results of Radiation Tolerance CMOS Sensors with Small Collection Electrodes
2020
The development of radiation hard Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (DMAPS) targets the replacement of hybrid pixel detectors to meet radiation hardness requirements of at least 1.5e16 1 MeV neq/cm2 for the HL-LHC and beyond. DMAPS were designed and tested in the TJ180 nm TowerJazz CMOS imaging technology with small electrodes pixel designs. This technology reduces costs and provides granularity of 36.4x36.4 um2 with low power operation (1 uW/pixel), low noise of ENC < 20 e-, a small collection electrode (3 um) and fast signal response within 25 ns bunch crossing. This contribution will present the latest developments after the MALTA and Mini-MALTA sensors. It will illustrate the imp…
Study of scintillation light collection, production and propagation in a 4 tonne dual-phase LArTPC
2020
The $3 \times 1 \times 1$ m$^3$ demonstrator is a dual phase liquid argon time projection chamber that has recorded cosmic rays events in 2017 at CERN. The light signal in these detectors is crucial to provide precise timing capabilities. The performances of the photon detection system, composed of five PMTs, are discussed. The collected scintillation and electroluminescence light created by passing particles has been studied in various detector conditions. In particular, the scintillation light production and propagation processes have been analyzed and compared to simulations, improving the understanding of some liquid argon properties.
