A Leakage Current-based Measurement of the Radiation Damage in the ATLAS Pixel Detector

A measurement has been made of the radiation damage incurred by the ATLAS Pixel Detector barrel silicon modules from the beginning of operations through the end of 2012. This translates to hadronic fluence received over the full period of operation at energies up to and including 8 TeV. The measurement is based on a per-module measurement of the silicon sensor leakage current. The results are presented as a function of integrated luminosity and compared to predictions by the Hamburg Model. This information can be used to predict limits on the lifetime of the Pixel Detector due to current, for various operating scenarios.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, talk presented on behalf of the ATLAS Collaboration at the 7th International Workshop on Semiconductor Pixel Detectors for Particles and Imaging (PIXEL2014), 1 - 5 Sep 2014, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada; to appear in the Conference Proceedings to be published by JINS

Heavy Flavor Physics at ATLAS and CMS

Recent results on heavy flavor physics using data from the ATLAS and CMS detectors are presented. The searches for new physics signatures in CP violation of B0_s - anti(B0_s) mixing and in B0_d --> K*0 mu+ mu- decays are discussed. The bottomonium and open-b production results obtained from proton-proton collisions at LHC are shown. The results are based on data samples containing mu+ mu- pairs collected with the ATLAS or CMS detectors by their corresponding muon trigger systems.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, talk given on behalf of the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the 7th joint International HADRON STRUCTURE '13 Conference, Slovaki

Latest Results on Orbitally Excited Strange Bottom Mesons with the CDF II Detector

We present the latest results on the spectroscopy of orbitally excited strange bottom mesons from 1 fb^{-1} of CDF data. The measurements are performed with fully reconstructed B- decays collected by the CDF II detector at the sqrt(s)-energy of 1.96 TeV in both the di-muon and the fully hadronic trigger paths.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures; talk given at ICHEP 2006, July 26 - August 2, 2006, Moscow, Russi

Pentaquark Searches at CDF

Experimental results of a search for the Xi_(3/2)(1860) cascade pentaquark state in data collected with the CDF 2 Detector in Run II at the Tevatron are presented. No evidence for these states in the neutral Xi-pi+ and doubly charged Xi-pi- modes has been found. Preliminary upper limits on yields at 1862 MeV/c**2 relative to the well established resonance Xi*0(1530) are presented.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, talk given at DIS 2004 Workshop, to be published in Proceedings of the DIS 2004 Worksho

Heavy Flavor Production in CDF II Detector

For data collected with the CDF Run II detector, measurements of the charm and bottom production cross-sections are presented. The results are based both on large samples of fully reconstructed hadron decay products of charm and bottom made available by the tracking triggers and on a calorimeter jet triggered sample tagged by the presence of a secondary vertex. The experimental data are compared with theoretical predictions from recent next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculations.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; a write up of the talk given on behalf of the CDF Collaboration at the XVII Particles and Nuclei International Conference, PANIC 05, October 24-28, 2005, Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S.

Beyond the Standard Model Physics Searches at the Tevatron

The recent results on a number of searches performed at Tevatron for new phenomena beyond Standard Model are presented. The topics include the experimental tests of SUSY with mSUGRA and GMSB breaking scenarios. The latest analyses on large extra dimensions, new massive bosons are covered as well. The results are based on experimental data samples collected at the Tevatron with CDF and D0 detectors and comprising a total integrated luminosity up to ~2.7 fb^-1 .Comment: The plenary talk given at the workshop HSQCD 2008, Gatchina, Russia, June 30 - July 4, 2008; 9 pages, 5 figures, 1 tabl

Heavy Hadron Spectroscopy and Production at Tevatron

Using data from p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV recorded by the CDFII and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron, we present recent results on charm and bottom hadrons. The most recent CDF results on properties of the four bottom baryon resonant states {Sigma}{sub b}{sup (*)-}, {Sigma}{sub b}{sup (*)+}. New results on exotic {Upsilon}(4140) state observed by CDF are also reported. A precise measurement of production rates of the lowest lying bottom baryon, {Lambda}{sub b}{sup 0}, produced in the D0 detector is presented

Latest results on bottom spectroscopy and production with CDF

Using data collected with the CDF Run II detector, new measurements on bottom production cross-sections are presented. The latest achievements in bottom hadron spectroscopy are discussed. The results are based on a large sample of semileptonic and hadronic decays of bottom states made available by triggers based on the precise CDF tracking system

Measurement of Orbitally Excited D-Mesons at CDF II Igor V. Gorelov (For the CDF Collaboration) Talk given on behalf of the CDF Collaboration at the First Meeting of the APS Topical Group on Hadronic Physics, GHP 2004, 24-26 October 2004, FERMILAB. Results on the first measurement of orbitally excited neutral D-meson states, D*_2 and D_1, produced in hadron collisions at Tevatron are presented. Using data from the displaced track trigger, CDF II collects the largest world sample of these states in decay modes D*+ pi-, D+ pi-. Masses and widths of both states have been measured with precision better than or comparable to the world average.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, talk given on behalf of the CDF Collaboration at the First Meeting of the APS Topical Group on Hadronic Physics, GHP 2004, Oct 24-26,2004, Fermilab, Batavia, Illinoi
