  1. 502. Summary of ATLAS-Canada Upgrades
    William Axel Leight (Carleton University (CA))

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Planned upgrades to the LHC will significantly increase its luminosity, leading to large increases in particle flux which will pose a challenge for the ATLAS detector. Phase-1 upgrades, to be installed during the upcoming Long Shutdown 2 during 2018 and 2019, will both enhance the ATLAS trigger system to handle these higher luminosities without damaging physics performance as well as...

  2. 749. Test beam performance measurements of novel Thin Gap Detectors for the ATLAS experiment upgrade.
    Sebastien Rettie (University of British Columbia (CA))

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    The planned luminosity increase of the LHC will allow the precise measurement of Higgs boson properties and extend the search for new physics phenomena beyond the standard model. To maintain excellent detection and background rejection capability in the forward region of the ATLAS detector, part of the muon detection system is scheduled to be upgraded during the LHC long shutdown period of...

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The physics potential for an electron-positron linear collider operating at energies above LEP-II has been established for more than a decade. The case is even stronger now that we know the Higgs boson has a mass that allows a linear collider to make precisions studies of its properties. There is renewed excitement in this project with the Japanese Government considering hosting the facility....
