Probing the flat-band limit of the superconducting proximity effect in Twisted Bilayer Graphene Josephson junctions

A. Diez-Carlon, J. Diez-Merida, P. Rout +13

While extensively studied in normal metals, semimetals and semiconductors, the superconducting (SC) proximity effect remains elusive in the emerging field of flat-band systems. In…

Efficiency measurements of GEM GE1/1 chambers in the upgraded CMS Endcap Muon System using 2023 collision data at TeV

M. Abbas, S. Abbott, M. Abbrescia +184

The CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider employs Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors, a technology based on gaseous ionization, as one of the muon detectors. The muon sp…

Interstrip Capacitances of the Readout Board used in Large Triple-GEM Detectors for the CMS Muon Upgrade

M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia, H. Abdalla +178

We present analytical calculations, Finite Element Analysis modeling, and physical measurements of the interstrip capacitances for different potential strip geometries and dimensio…

The Be()Li reaction and the Cosmological Lithium Problem: measurement of the cross section in a wide energy range at n_TOF (CERN)

L. Damone, M. Barbagallo, M. Mastromarco +155

We report on the measurement of the Be()Li cross section from thermal to approximately 325 keV neutron energy, performed in the high-flux experimental area (EAR2)…

Performance of a Triple-GEM Demonstrator in Collisions at the CMS Detector

M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia, H. Abdalla +178

After the Phase-2 high-luminosity upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the collision rate and therefore the background rate will significantly increase, particularly in the…

Modeling the triple-GEM detector response to background particles for the CMS Experiment

M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia, H. Abdalla +186

An estimate of environmental background hit rate on triple-GEM chambers is performed using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and compared to data taken by test chambers installed in the…

Quality Control of Mass-Produced GEM Detectors for the CMS GE1/1 Muon Upgrade

M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia, H. Abdalla +179

The series of upgrades to the Large Hadron Collider, culminating in the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, will enable a significant expansion of the physics program of the CMS…

Nuclear astrophysics with radioactive ions at FAIR

R. Reifarth, S. Altstadt, K. Göbel +317

The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by neutron captures in the s and r processes. However, 32 stable, proton-rich isotopes cannot be formed during those proces…
