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…
Lyndon word decompositions and pseudo orbits on q-nary graphs
R. Band, J. M. Harrison, M. Sepanski
A foundational result in the theory of Lyndon words (words that are strictly earlier in lexicographic order than their cyclic permutations) is the Chen-Fox-Lyndon theorem which sta…
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…
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…
Initial Results of a Silicon Sensor Irradiation Study for ILC Extreme Forward Calorimetry
R. Band, V. Fadeyev, R. C. Field +11
Detectors proposed for the International Linear Collider (ILC) incorporate a tungsten sampling calorimeter (`BeamCal') intended to reconstruct showers of electrons, positrons and p…
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…
