Fibre-optic sensors (FOS) are attractive for environmental monitoring in high-energy physics (HEP) experiments due to their small size, multiplexing capability, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and potential radiation tolerance. However, the development of radiation-hard fibre sensors capable of monitoring parameters such as humidity remains challenging for future detector...
Technologies developed for high-energy physics (HEP) experiments frequently operate under demanding constraints on sensor size, reliability, cabling, electromagnetic compatibility and remote accessibility. These requirements have driven the development of fibre-optic sensor (FOS) systems for environmental monitoring within the ATLAS experiment at CERN. Many of the same characteristics are...
Muons produced in W-boson and heavy-flavour (HF) hadron decays provide useful information on particle production in proton-proton (pp) collisions. Both mother particles have large masses and are produced in hard-parton scattering in the initial stages of the collision. W-boson studies can probe light-quark parton distribution functions and serve as a baseline for the study of initial-state...
