67. CMS in 10 minutes

Cristina Ana Mantilla Suarez (Johns Hopkins University)

6/11/19, 9:00 AM

The LHC is the worlds highest energy proton-proton collider with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The world's largest machine is currently running at twice its designed luminosity and represents forefront of the energy frontier. The CMS detector is a multipurpose detector that features a 4 Tesla magnet and over a 100 million active channels taking data every 25 ns. It, along with its sister...

32. Perturbative QCD in 10 Minutes

Joshua Isaacson

6/11/19, 9:15 AM

Oral

A brief overview of perturbative QCD and its role in precision measurements at the LHC. There will be a focus on efforts that are being done here at Fermilab. Here at Fermilab, the QCD group focuses on three distinct topics. Therefore, the talk will focus on the importance of improving precision for measurements at the LHC, through the use of higher order corrections, analytic resummation, and...

24. Lattice QCD in 10 Minutes

William Jay

6/11/19, 9:30 AM

Oral

In this talk I summarize the current status of the field in lattice QCD. My goal will be to provide an accessible overview. I will emphasize work done at Fermilab and work affecting Fermilab experiments.

59. Scintillator Tiles for the High Granularity Calorimeter of the CMS Detector at the HL-LHC

Ramanpreet Singh

6/11/19, 9:45 AM

Oral

The CMS Phase II upgrade, High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCal) will have fine transverse and longitudinal segmentation to allow for superior particle identification and pileup rejection in the high radiation and large event pileup environment of the endcap region. A significant portion of the hadronic portion of the HGCal will be instrumented with scintillator tiles directly coupled to Silicon...

28. Layout and performance of GE1/1 chambers for the CMS muon spectrometer upgrade

Mr Aashaq Shah (University of Delhi)

6/11/19, 10:00 AM

Oral

The CMS Muon group has proposed the use of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology to maintain an efficient and reliable operation during the High Luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC). This is particularly important to study many physics processes with muons in the final state. The CMS GEM chambers will cover eta region 1.6 to 2.2 of the endcap. We report on the GE1/1 layout and their...

52. Reconstructing proton-proton collision positions at the Large Hadron Collider with a D-Wave quantum computer

Andrew Wildridge, Mr Sachin Vaidya (Purdue University), Souvik Das

6/11/19, 10:15 AM

Oral

Clustering of charged particle tracks along the beam axis is the first step in reconstructing the positions of proton-proton (p-p) collisions at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. In this talk, we formulate this problem for a 2048 qubit D-Wave quantum computer that works by quantum annealing. We show the performance of the quantum annealer on artificial events generated from p-p...
