    The design and construction of a lead-liquid argon endcap calorimeter prototype using an accordion geometry and conceived as a sector of the inner wheel of the endcap calorimeter of the future ATLAS experiment at the LHC is described. The performance obtained using electron beam data is presented. The main results are an energy resolution with a sampling term below 11%/E(GeV)11\%/\sqrt{E(\rm GeV)} and a small local constant term, a good linearity of the response with the incident energy and a global constant term of 0.8\% over an extended area in the rapidity range of 2.2η2.92.2\eta 2.9. These properties make the design suitable for the ATLAS electromagnetic endcap calorimeter

    Search for R-parity-violating supersymmetry in a final state containing leptons and many jets with the ATLAS experiment using s√=13 TeV proton–proton collision data

    A search for R-parity-violating supersymmetry in final states characterized by high jet multiplicity, at least one isolated light lepton and either zero or at least three b-tagged jets is presented. The search uses 139fb−1 of s√=13 TeV proton–proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. The results are interpreted in the context of R-parity-violating supersymmetry models that feature gluino production, top-squark production, or electroweakino production. The dominant sources of background are estimated using a data-driven model, based on observables at medium jet multiplicity, to predict the b-tagged jet multiplicity distribution at the higher jet multiplicities used in the search. Machine-learning techniques are used to reach sensitivity to electroweakino production, extending the data-driven background estimation to the shape of the machine-learning discriminant. No significant excess over the Standard Model expectation is observed and exclusion limits at the 95% confidence level are extracted, reaching as high as 2.4 TeV in gluino mass, 1.35 TeV in top-squark mass, and 320 (365) GeV in higgsino (wino) mass

    The first combined test of an electromagnetic liquid argon accordion calorimeter and a hadronic scintillating-tile calorimeter was carried out at the CERN SPS, These devices are prototypes of the barrel calorimeter of the future ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The energy resolution of pions in the energy range from 20 to 300 GeV at an incident angle a of about 11 degrees is well-described by the expression sigma/E = ((46.5 +/- 6.0)%/root E + (1.2 +/- 0.3)%) + (3.2 +/- 0.4) GeV/E. Shower profiles, shower leakage, and the angular resolution of hadronic showers were also studied

    Study of hadronic decays of the ZO boson

    Get PDF
    Hadronic decays of Z0 bosons are studied in the Delphi detector. Global event variables and single particle inclusive distributions are compared with QCD-based predictions. The mean charged multiplicity is found to be 20.6±1.0 (stat+syst). The mean values of the sphericity, aplanarity, thrust, minor value, pin T and pout T are compared with values found at lower energy e+e- colliders.0SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
