Transport and installation of corrector package to the IT String
No full textThe yellow corrector package (CP), a cold mass containing a Nb-Ti dipole corrector (CIEMAT, Spain) - to compensate for alignment errors of the triplet - and 5 nonlinear superferric correctors (INFN, Italy) - to correct triplet imperfections and misalignment - was installed into the IT String on 7th February 2024. The transport of the CP cryomodule from a test bench in SM18 to the IT String required the use of several transport means. From the cluster B to the IT String area, the Rocla vehicle was used, then the CP was aligned to its final position using a crane and two translation tables
Classical Black Hole Probes of UV Scales
No full textIn the context of the Swampland program, black hole attractors have been employed to probe infinite distances in moduli space, where the EFT cutoff goes to zero in Planck units and UV effects become significant. In this paper, we take the perspective of the two-derivative action of string theoretic effective field theories and explore various families of extremal black hole solutions that probe infinite distance limits at their horizons. While these solutions do not include higher-order corrections in the EFT expansion, we find that, in many cases, the smallest BPS black holes in these families remarkably reproduce either the species scale or some other Kaluza-Klein scale. In highly supersymmetric cases, this match with UV scales even persists in the interior of moduli space. We even find that non-BPS black holes solutions in circle compactification of Type II string theories follow the species scale in decompactification limits. These observations suggests that the two-derivative action may encode information about relevant UV scales. We discuss the interplay of these results with emergence and UV/IR mixing in quantum gravity
International Conference on Quantum Technologies for High-Energy Physics
No full textQuantum computers are a promising platforms to efficiently simulate systems hard to tackle on classical machines. An important challenge to overcome is the efficient control of errors that, if left undisturbed, make quantum simulations useless. A solution to this challenge is quantum error correction, that exploiting redundancy is able to correct errors. In this talk I will explore the connections between quantum error correction and lattice gauge theories and exploit them to propose a path forward for error corrected simulations of interest for high energy physics
Classifying the CP properties of the ggH coupling in H + 2j production
No full textThe Higgs-gluon interaction is crucial for LHC phenomenology. To improve the constraints on the structure of this coupling, we investigate Higgs production with two jets using machine learning. In particular, we exploit the sensitivity of the so far neglected phase space region that differs from the typical vector boson fusion-like kinematics. Our results indicate that further improvements in the current experimental limits could be achievable using our techniques. We also discuss the most relevant observables and how violation in the Higgs–gluon interaction can be disentangled from violation in the interaction between the Higgs boson and massive vector bosons. Assuming the absence of -violating Higgs interactions with coloured beyond-the-Standard-Model states, our projected limits on a -violating top-Yukawa coupling are competitive with more direct probes like top-associated Higgs production and limits from a global fit.The Higgs-gluon interaction is crucial for LHC phenomenology.

Study of baryon-strangeness and charge-strangeness correlations in PbPb collisions at = 5.02 TeV with ALICE
No full textIn the quest to unravel the mysteries of the strong force and the underlying properties of the quark-gluon plasma, the ALICE collaboration at CERN has carried out a comprehensive study focusing on the correlations between net-conserved quantities such as net-baryon, net-charge and net- strangeness. These correlations play a crucial role in the study of QCD phase structure as they are closely related to the ratios of thermodynamic susceptibilities in lattice QCD calculations. This work mainly focuses on the correlations between net-kaon and net-proton, and net-kaon and net-charge in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV using data recorded during LHC Run 2. The net-proton and net-kaon serve as proxies for net-baryon and net-strangeness, respectively, with measurements analyzed as a function of collision centrality. Theoretical predictions from the Thermal-FIST model are compared with experimental results, providing insights into the effects of resonance decays and charge conservation laws on the correlations.In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the strong force and the underlying properties of the quark-gluon plasma, the ALICE collaboration at CERN has carried out a comprehensive study focusing on the correlations between net-conserved quantities such as net-baryon, net-charge and net-strangeness.

Aspects of Higgs Physics at a TeV Muon Collider with detailed detector simulation
No full textThe Muon Collider is one of the most promising future collider facilities with the potential to reach multi-TeV center-of-mass energy and high luminosity. Due to the significant Higgs boson production cross section in muon-antimuon collisions at such high energies, the collider offers an excellent opportunity for in-depth exploration of Higgs boson properties. It holds the capability to significantly advance our understanding of the Higgs sector to a very high level of precision. However, the presence of beam-induced background resulting from the decay of the beam muons poses unique challenges for detector development and event reconstruction. In this paper, the prospects for measuring various Higgs boson properties at a center-of-mass energy of 3 TeV are presented, using a detailed detector simulation in a realistic environment. The study demonstrates the feasibility of achieving high precision results with the current state-of-the-art detector design. In addition, the paper discusses the detector requirements necessary to achieve this level of accuracy.The Muon Collider is one of the most promising future collider facilities with the potential to reach multi-TeV center-of-mass energy and high luminosity.
