    The search for the rare decay Bs → μ+μ− with the ATLAS experiment at LHC

    No full text
    The object of this thesis work is Bs → μ+μ− rare decay, a golden channel to detect New Physics Beyond the Standard Model. The analysis here presented is based on the data collected in 2010 data taking period with the ATLAS detector at LHC. On the branching ratio an Upper Limit of Br(Bs → μ+μ−) < 5.91× 10−7 at 95% CL has been set

    The NIKHEF MDT read out driver is a VME module that collects data from the TDCs, connected to the Drift Chambers. The data from several MDT chambers is merged and can be read by a VME master

    The “Roman pot” spectrometer and the vertex detector of experiment UA4 at the CERN SPS collider

    No full text
    We describe the apparatus used in experiment UA4 to study proton-antiproton elastic and inelastic interactions at the CERN SPS Collider. Elastically scattered particles, travelling at very small angles, are observed by detectors placed inside movable sections (“Roman pots”) of the SPS vacuum chamber. The deflection in the field of the machine quadrupoles allow the measurement of the particle momentum. Inelastic interactions are observed by a left-right symmetric system of trigger counter hodoscopes and drift-chamber telescopes. The apparatus reconstructs the interaction vertex and measures the pseudorapidity η of charged particles in the range 2.5 &lt; ‖η‖ &lt; 5.6
