The ECFA Higgs, electroweak, and top Factory Study ran between 2021 and 2025 as a broad effort across the experimental and theoretical particle physics communities, bringing together participants from many different proposed future collide…

ATLAS ITk Strip Sensor Quality Assurance Tests and Results of ATLAS18 Pre-production Sensors Open

S. Hirose, P. P. Allport, Eric Bach, M. J. Basso, A. Bhardwaj , et al. · 2024

Towards the high luminosity (HL) operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the inner tracking system of the ATLAS detector is replaced by a fully silicon-based inner tracker (ITk). Its outer region consists of 17,888 $n^+$-in-$p$ silic…

Threshold bounce — occupancy-dependent modulation of the discriminating threshold in silicon detectors Open

M. J. Basso, E. Buchanan, B. J. Gallop, J. John, J. Kaplon , et al. · 2024

The front-end electronics of silicon detectors are typically designed to ensure optimal noise performance for the expected input charge. A combination of preamplifiers and shaper circuits result in a nontrivial response of the front-end to…

Focus topics for the ECFA study on Higgs / Top / EW factories Open

Jorge de Blas, P. Koppenburg, Jenny List, Fabio Maltoni, J. Alcaraz Maestre , et al. · 2024

In order to stimulate new engagement and trigger some concrete studies in areas where further work would be beneficial towards fully understanding the physics potential of an $e^+e^-$ Higgs / Top / Electroweak factory, we propose to define…

A gaseous RICH detector for SiD or ILD Open

M. J. Basso, Valentina M. M. Cairo, Chris Damerell, D. Su, A. Schwartzman , et al. · 2023

This paper describes a preliminary study of a gaseous Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) system capable of discriminating between kaons and pions at high momenta -- up to 50 GeV/c -- and thus enhancing particle identification at future collider…

Experimental Study and Empirical Modeling of Long Term Annealing of the ATLAS18 Strip Sensors Open

R. S. Orr, A. A. Affolder, P. P. Allport, M. J. Basso, J. Bernabeu , et al. · 2023

In order to continue the program of the LHC, the accelerator will be upgraded to the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), which will have a design luminosity of $5 \\times 10^{34} cm^{-2}s^{-1}$ , an order of magnitude greater than the present ma…

Analysis of humidity sensitivity of silicon strip sensors for ATLAS upgrade tracker, pre- and post-irradiation Open

J. Fernández-Tejero, A. A. Affolder, Eric Bach, M. J. Basso, A. Bhardwaj , et al. · 2023

During the prototyping phase of the new ATLAS Inner-Tracker (ITk) strip sensors, a degradation of the device breakdown voltage at high humidity was observed. Although the degradation was temporary, showing a fast recovery in dry conditions…

Pre-production results from ATLAS ITk Strip Sensors Quality Assurance Testchip Open

P. P. Allport, Eric Bach, M. J. Basso, A. S. Chisholm, V. Cindro , et al. · 2022

The production of strip sensors within the framework of the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) development is a process which requires continuous evaluation during the full production period (about 4 years). Such an evaluation is divided into two d…

Strange quark as a probe for new physics in the Higgs sector Open

Bert Arnrich, M. J. Basso, Samuel K. Bright-Thonney, Valentina M. M. Cairo, Chris Damerell , et al. · 2022

This paper describes a novel algorithm for tagging jets originating from the hadronisation of strange quarks (strange-tagging) with the future International Large Detector (ILD) at the International Linear Collider (ILC). It also presents …
