Performance of the LHCb Vertex Locator
LHCb VELO Group, R. Aaij, A. Affolder +101
The Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon microstrip detector that surrounds the proton-proton interaction region in the LHCb experiment. The performance of the detector during the fi…
Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results: Mis-centering calibration and X-ray-richness scaling relations in redMaPPer clusters
P. Kelly, J. Jobel, O. Eiger +76
We use Dark Energy Survey Year 3 (DES Y3) clusters with archival X-ray data from XMM-Newton and Chandra to assess the centering performance of the redMaPPer cluster finder and to m…
Mapping the material in the LHCb vertex locator using secondary hadronic interactions
M. Alexander, W. Barter, A. Bay +63
Precise knowledge of the location of the material in the LHCb vertex locator (VELO) is essential to reducing background in searches for long-lived exotic particles, and in identify…
Discovering High- BL Lacs Using Swift/UVOT and SARA Observations with the Dropout Technique
Y. Sheng, K. Imam, A. Kaur +14
Measuring spectroscopic redshifts for BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects, a class of blazar, is challenging because their optical spectrum lacks, or has weak, emission lines ( equivalent…
