Abstract:

This chapter of the 'Flavor in the era of LHC' workshop report discusses flavor-related issues in the production and decays of heavy states at the LHC at high momentum transfer Q, both from the experimental and the theoretical perspective. We review top quark physics, and discuss the flavor aspects of several extensions of the standard model, such as supersymmetry, little Higgs models or models with extra dimensions. This includes discovery aspects, as well as the measurement of several properties of these heavy states. We also present publicly available computational tools related to this topic. © Springer-Verlag / Società Italiana di Fisica 2008.

Abstract:

The LiCAS project has developed a prototype robotic survey system for rapid and highly accurate surveying of long linear accelerator tunnel networks. It is aimed at the International Linear Collider (ILC). This Rapid Tunnel Reference Surveyor (RTRS) is an R&D; instrument for evaluating the performance of the RTRS concept and its survey technology. The prototype has been commissioned in a test tunnel at DESY with initial calibrations and measurements ongoing. We will report recent results where they improve over previously reported work.

Nanometre precision interferometric stability monitoring systems for key accelerator components

Abstract:

The MONALISA group develops novel, accurate, nanometre resolution, interferometric systems to monitor relative motions between key accelerator components. We use cost-effective technology developed for the telecommunications market, providing readily scalable, adaptable solutions. Key magnets and diagnostics in the beam-delivery section of the International Linear Collider (ILC) will need to maintain stable relative positions. In particular, the final focus quadrupole magnets require nanometre level stability. Even greater stability requirements will be placed on components for the Compact Linear Accelerator (CLIC). Interferometers provide the only means of monitoring relative positions over long timescales, at the nanometre and sub-nanometre level. The latest results from our novel design, fibre-coupled interferometers will be presented.
