365. (POS-51) Preliminary Data Transfer Integration Tests for ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter UpgradeLaura Gonzalez Escudero (McGill University, (CA))10/06/2025, 18:00Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)Poster Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition affiches (Étudiant(e) 2e ou 3e cycle)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is a powerful particle accelerator designed to push the frontier of particle physics. There are four main detectors along the LHC ring; ATLAS is a cylindrical multipurpose detector with multiple specialized subsystems. At its core, the electromagnetic calorimeter plays a crucial role in measuring the energy of charged particles and photons produced in...

HELIX (High Energy Light Isotope eXperiment) is a ballon experiment designed to measure abundance of cosmic ray isotopes from hydrogen to neon, with a particular interest in abundances of beryllium isotopes. HELIX aims to provide essential data to study the cosmic ray propagation in our galaxy. The Drift Chamber Tracker (DCT) in HELIX is a multi-wire gas drift chamber designed to measure the...

SuperCDMS is a direct detection dark matter (DM) experiment which is currently being built at the SNOLAB underground laboratory in Sudbury, Canada. It will operate cryogenically cooled Ge and Si crystals with different sensor designs to perform a broadband DM search for particles with masses $\le 10\, \text{GeV}/c^2$, thus exploring new regions of interest.
Among the key requirements to...

Muons, fundamental particles within the Standard Model of Particle Physics, are produced as a result of cosmic rays colliding with the Earth's upper atmosphere. They only exist for 2.2 microseconds before they decay into other fundamental particles. However, they are moving at velocities near the speed of light, allowing them to reach the Earth’s surface. Muons can be detected using...

Bubble chambers have been used in the search for dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), as well as in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay. The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) is one such detector which uses an active volume of xenon-doped liquid argon (LAr), a scintillator which allows for the rejection of different classes of background events....

fast photon detectors and chromatic photon sorting open the possibility for the next-generation hybrid neutrino experiment Theia. Capable to discriminate Cherenkov and scintillation signals, Theia will observe particle direction and species using Cherenkov photons, will offer excellent energy resolution and the low threshold of a scintillator...
