  1. 2424. Upgrades to the ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider
    Jesse Alan Heilman (Carleton University (CA))

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) had entered the second of its long shutdown phases for maintenance and upgrades. Concurrently, the ATLAS detector is also undergoing several upgrades targeted at improving the ability of the detector to collect data during future LHC operation. This talk will focus on this so-called Phase-I upgrade to the Liquid Argon Calorimeter electronics and the construction...

  2. 2441. WITHDRAWN - Performance of Canadian-made muon detectors for the Phase-1 upgrade of the ATLAS detector

    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    For the next two years, the LHC will be shut down while upgrades are being made. These upgrades will result in an increased luminosity which will allow precision measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson and strengthened searches for new particles to be made. In this new high luminosity environment, the Small Wheel muon detectors of the ATLAS detector must be replaced in order to...

  3. 2499. Goals and Scope of the Light-Only Liquid Xenon Project
    Dr THOMAS MCELROY (McGill University)

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    The Light-Only Liquid Xenon (LOLX) project aims to study the properties of light emission in liquid xenon (LXe). Investigating both the scintillation and Cherenkov light emission, LOLX will explore the abilities of single-phase liquid xenon detectors as particle detectors and in medical imaging devices. The first phase of the LOLX detector consists of 24 Hamamatsu VUV4 Silicon photomultipliers...

  4. 2728. Commissioning the Radial Time Projection Chamber for the ALPHA-g antimatter gravity experiment
    Lars Dieter Martin (TRIUMF)

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    Antimatter is believed to be affected by gravity in exactly the same way as ordinary matter for a variety of good reasons, however this has never been measured directly. This will be tested by the ALPHA-g project, which uses a new vertical antihydrogen trap based on the previous ALPHA design (Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus, the first experiment to trap antihydrogen in 2010). As in...

  5. 2716. The HALO-1kT Supernova Neutrino Detector
    Clarence Virtue (SNOLAB)

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    HALO-1kT is a proposed lead-based supernova neutrino detector for construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It is an evolution of the successful, but smaller, HALO detector at SNOLAB. HALO-1kT is expected to outperform HALO by a factor of 25 in sensitivity. The scientific collaboration is Canadian-led with major participation by Italian and American groups....
