ATLAS strip detector: Operational experience and run 1-> run 2 transition

Proceedings of Science 15-19-September-2014 (2014)

Abstract:

The Large hadron collider was operated very successfully during the Run 1 and provided a lot of opportunities of physics studies. It currently has a consolidation work toward the operation at √s = 14 TeV in Run 2. The ATLAS experiment has achieved excellent performance in Run 1 operation, delivering remarkable physics results. The SemiConductor Tracker contributed to the precise measurement of momentum of charged particles. This paper describes the operation experience of the SemiConductor Tracker in Run 1 and the preparation toward the Run 2 operation during the long shutdown 1.

Abstract:

The inclusive cross section for top-quark pair production measured by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is compared to the QCD prediction at next-to-next-to-leading order with various parton distribution functions to determine the top-quark pole mass, m t pole , or the strong coupling constant, α S . With the parton distribution function set NNPDF2.3, a pole mass of 176. 7 +3.8 -3.4 GeV is obtained when constraining α S at the scale of the Z boson mass, m Z , to the current world average. Alternatively, by constraining m t pole to the latest average from direct mass measurements, a value of α S (m Z ) = 0. 1151 +0.0033 -0.0032 is extracted. This is the first determination of α S using events from top-quark production. © 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
