TORCH (Time Of internally Reflected CHerenkov light) is a proposed particle identification system to achieve positive π/K/p separation at a ≥3σ level in the momentum range below 10 GeV/c

Description of the Quality Assurance policy and characterisation results of the staves for the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer Detector

High Energy Physics (HEP) has been using Machine Learning (ML) techniques such as boosted decision trees (paper) and neural nets since the 90s. [...]

The Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source RILIS [1] at the CERN-ISOLDE on-line radioactive ion beam facility is essential for ion beam production for the majority of experiments, but it is also powerful tool for laser spectroscopy of rare isotopes [...]

The LHCb data acquisition system is realized as a Gigabit Ethernet local area network with more than 330 FPGA driven data-sources, two core-routers, 56 fan-out switches and more than 1400 servers (will be upgraded to about 1800 soon). [...]

The LHCb experiment has collected more than 3 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity in 2011 and 2012 and is producing a large amount of excellent results in beauty and charmed meson physics. [...]

The demand for faster and more reliable networks is growing day by day both in commercial and scientific applications, driving many innovations in network protocols, fiber optics and network-controllers. [...]

Lifetimes are among the most fundamental properties of elementary particles. [...]

LHCb is a dedicated experiment to study New Physics in the decays of heavy hadrons at the LHC. [...]

The Scintillating Fibre (SciFi) Tracker for the LHCb Upgrade (CERN/LHCC 2014-001; LHCb TDR 15) is based on 2.5 m long multi-layered ribbons from 10,000 km of scintillating fibre over 12 planes covering 350 m2. [...]

The LHCb upgrade requires replacing the silicon strip tracker between the vertex locator and the magnet. [...]

The LHCb detector will be upgraded during the next LHC shutdown in 2018/19. [...]

The production of $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ mesons decaying into dimuon final state is studied at the LHCb experiment, with rapidity 1.5 < y < 4.0 or −5.0 < y < −2.5 and transverse momentum pT < 15 GeV/c, in proton-lead collisions at a proton-nucleon centre-of-mass energy$\sqrt{s}$ NN = 5 TeV [...]

A search for previously unobserved decays of beauty baryons to the final states $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi^-$ and $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}pK^-$ is reported. [...]

The proposed upgrade for the LHCb experiment envisages a system of 500 Data sources each generating data at 100 Gbps, the acquisition and processing of which is a big challenge even for the current state of the art FPGAs. [...]
