Research Masterclass - 2009 Lecture 1 Steve Watts Physics and Astronomy, .

Advanced Detector Design for (A story of designing an upgrade for ATLAS) First there has to be a physics case. Then, is it technically feasible ? Yes ? But you have to do a lot of detector R&D and work through the problems Succeed ? Yes ? Will someone give the money ? Yes ? Complicated project management to final installation Succeed ? Yes ….get some data Do you find the physics you wanted ????

Note: lecture will be delivered in the form of a research seminar….. ASIDE: COORDINATE SYSTEM AND UNITS

Centre of Mass Energy = sqrt(s) = 14 TeV

Z-axis

Z, θ , φ

Use rapidity (y) /pseudo-rapidity ( η ) rather than theta. Why ? dN/dy is Lorentz invariant

SM = Standard Model

Will return to the problem of “overlap background “……………….

Luminosity x cross section = events per second Integrated Luminosity ( inverse fb) What level of cross-section can one get ? L = 1034 cm-2sec-1 is nominal LHC luminosity. 80 fb-1 at 14 TeV in year. “30 fb-1” is expected integrated luminosity after first three years WARNING: Total Cross Section is around 100 mb. Trigger rate 100 kHz! There is no reason to think the Higgs is a standard model version……

New results arrive all the time. THE ASSUMPTIONS YOU HAD WHEN YOU STARTED THE JOURNEY MAY NO LONGER BE TRUE. BEWARE !!!

y(mm) 420m Totem Avati/ V. beam x(mm) 34 cm -2 s -1 ? EXPERIMENTAL PROBLEMS

• How to get within a few millimetres of the LHC beam. • Radiation levels are very high close to the beam • Need to track the protons with 1 micro-radian angular precision • 420 m region of the LHC is currently at 1. 8 Kelvin – but it has no magnetic fields !! • To remove pile-up problem you need a radiation hard timing detector with at least 10 pico-second timing resolution. • Need a trigger to select events due to very small cross-section, but, 220 and 420 m are a long way from the central detector ( speed of light) • All components have to work reliably in the LHC tunnel – radiation environment.

NONE OF THESE ARE SIMPLE – BUT SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN FOUND OR R&D IN THE NEXT 1-2 YEARS WILL SOLVE REMAINING PROBLEMS

THE STORY CONTINUES NEXT WEEK DIRECTED LEARNING FOR THE NEXT WEEK

• Prove that the relationship between the momentum of a charged particle moving in a constant magnetic field and its radius of curvature is;

P ( GeV/c) = 0.3 B (Tesla) R (metres)

• Derive the missing-mass formula on slide 10.

• Estimate the fractional momentum loss for CEP protons at 220 and 420m. Explain why the 220 m region selects a higher mass range than the 420 m region.

• Look up and understand rapidity and pseudorapidity

• Make estimates for the signal rates for a Standard Model Higgs at various masses for the CEP process at the LHC. Assume a centre of mass energy of 14 TeV. ( Hint: Repeat the exercise in Table 1 of the paper by Albrow et al.)

• What is the current state of knowledge of the existence of the Higgs Boson ??

• Look over the FP420 Design Report to prepare for the next lecture on the silicon tracking system.
