Abstract:

The ATLAS EventIndex system comprises the catalogue of all events collected, processed or generated by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC accelerator, and all associated software tools to collect, store and query this information. ATLAS records several billion particle interactions every year of operation, processes them for analysis and generates even larger simulated data samples; a global catalogue is needed to keep track of the location of each event record and be able to search and retrieve specific events for in-depth investigations. Each EventIndex record includes summary information on the event itself and the pointers to the files containing the full event. Most components of the EventIndex system are implemented using BigData free and open-source software. This paper describes the architectural choices and their evolution in time, as well as the past, current and foreseen future implementations of all EventIndex components.

Modelling heavy neutral leptons in accelerator beamlines

Abstract:

Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs) with masses 0.1-1 GeV/c^2 are promising candidates for the simultaneous explanation of the smallness of the observed neutrino masses as well as the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the observable Universe. These particles can be produced in the decay of hadrons typically produced in a neutrino beamline used for oscillation experiments, and have sufficient lifetime to propagate to a near detector, where they decay to observable particles. For the approximation of a single new mass eigenstate mixing with the Standard Model via the lepton mixing matrix, a simulation framework based on the GENIE event generator has been developed. This module is designed to facilitate searches for HNL through a unified, minimal interface employing a detailed treatment of the kinematics and dynamics of massive unstable neutrinos, with a transparently organised suite of physics effects tracking the HNL from its production to its decay. These mechanisms are expounded on in the current work, underlining the rich landscape for novel, non-trivial physics that has already been identified in previous literature. This framework is an ongoing effort to provide a consistent and comprehensive description of heavy neutrinos from particle decays. We highlight use cases and future applications of interest to the accelerator neutrino community.
