The LHCb VELO Upgrade Module Construction
K. Akiba, M. Alexander, C. Bertella +84
The LHCb detector has undergone a major upgrade for LHC Run 3. This Upgrade I detector facilitates operation at higher luminosity and utilises full-detector information at the LHC…
ARIADNE -- A Novel Optical LArTPC: Technical Design Report and Initial Characterisation using a Secondary Beam from the CERN PS and Cosmic Muons
D. Hollywood, K. Majumdar, K. Mavrokoridis +8
ARIADNE is a 1-ton (330 kg fiducial mass) dual-phase liquid argon (LAr) time projection chamber (TPC) featuring a novel optical readout. Four electron-multiplying charge-coupled de…
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…
First Demonstration of Imaging Cosmic Muons in a Two-Phase Liquid Argon TPC using an EMCCD Camera and a THGEM
K. Mavrokoridis, J. Carroll, K. J. McCormick +4
Colossal two-phase Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LAr TPCs) are a proposed option for future long-baseline neutrino experiments. This study illustrates the feasibility of u…
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…
Optical Readout of a Two Phase Liquid Argon TPC using CCD Camera and THGEMs
K. Mavrokoridis, F. Ball, J. Carroll +5
This paper presents a preliminary study into the use of CCDs to image secondary scintillation light generated by THick Gas Electron Multipliers (THGEMs) in a two phase LAr TPC. A S…
