295. Luminosity measurement from track counting in ATLAS

One of the important physics quantities for a collider experiment is luminosity — a measurement of a number of collisions. By knowing the luminosity, the cross-section of a process can be obtained. The ATLAS detector has a subdetector dedicated for luminosity measurement called LUCID. Another complementary approach for luminosity determination is by measuring the number of tracks from...

302. Subleading colour corrections in Herwig

Mr Johan Thorén (Lund University)

We have implemented subleading colour corrections for the dipole parton shower in the event generator Herwig. This has been used to investigate the effects of keeping the full colour structure for parton emissions in both a LEP and an LHC setup. Preliminary results show that, while these corrections typically are small for LEP-observables, they can be several ten percent at the LHC, even...

288. The HIBEAM experiment at the ESS

Prof. David Milstead (Fysikum, SU)

07/11/2017, 16:45

The HIBEAM experiment is the first stage of a proposed experiment at the European Spallation Source to search for baryon number violation via the conversion of neutrons to anti-neutrons and/or mirror neutrons. The experiment addresses fundamental topical and open questions in modern physics such as baryogenesis and dark matter. In this talk, the goals and status of the HIBEAM...
