Test beam results of the GE1/1 prototype for a future upgrade of the CMS high- muon system
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbrescia, C. Armagnaud +55
Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) are an interesting technology under consideration for the future upgrade of the forward region of the CMS muon system, specifically in the $1.6<| η|…
Construction and Performance of Large-Area Triple-GEM Prototypes for Future Upgrades of the CMS Forward Muon System
M. Tytgat, A. Marinov, N. Zaganidis +56
At present, part of the forward RPC muon system of the CMS detector at the CERN LHC remains uninstrumented in the high-ηregion. An international collaboration is investigating the…
Construction of the first full-size GEM-based prototype for the CMS high- muon system
D. Abbaneo, S. Bally, H. Postema +32
In view of a possible extension of the forward CMS muon detector system and future LHC luminosity upgrades, Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGDs) are an appealing technology. They ca…
The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part II: A performance study using observations of the Crab Nebula
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksic, S. Ansoldi +163
MAGIC is a system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located in the Canary island of La Palma, Spain. During summer 2011 and 2012 it underwent a series of upgrades, in…
Performance of the TOTEM Detectors at the LHC
TOTEM Collaboration, G. Antchev, P. Aspell +79
The TOTEM Experiment is designed to measure the total proton-proton cross-section with the luminosity-independent method and to study elastic and diffractive pp scattering at the L…
Proceedings of the workshop: HERA and the LHC workshop series on the implications of HERA for LHC physics
H. Jung, A. De Roeck, Z. J. Ajaltouni +265
2nd workshop on the implications of HERA for LHC physics. Working groups: Parton Density Functions Multi-jet final states and energy flows Heavy quarks (charm and beauty) Diffracti…
The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part I: The hardware improvements and the commissioning of the system
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksic, S. Ansoldi +162
The MAGIC telescopes are two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island of La Palma. The telescopes are designed to measure Cherenkov light from…
Inertial control of the mirror suspensions of the VIRGO interferometer for gravitational wave detection
G. Losurdo, G. Calamai, E. Cuoco +32
In order to achieve full detection sensitivity at low frequencies, the mirrors of interferometric gravitational wave detectors must be isolated from seismic noise. The VIRGO vibrat…
Diffraction at TOTEM
G. Antchev, P. Aspell, V. Avati +72
The TOTEM experiment at the LHC measures the total proton-proton cross section with the luminosity-independent method and the elastic proton-proton cross-section over a wide |t|-ra…
