Survival Factor

Abstract Ultraperipheral collisions of high energy protons are a source of approximately real photons colliding with each other. Photon fusion can result in production of yet unknown charged particles in very clean events. The cleanliness of such an event is due to the requirement that the protons survive during the collision. Finite sizes of the protons reduce the probability of such outcome compared to point-like particles. We calculate the survival factors and cross sections for the production of heavy charged particles at the Large Hadron Collider.

With many applications in high-energy physics, Deep Learning or Deep Neural Network (DNN) has become noticeable and practical in recent years. In this article, a new technique is presented for modeling the charged particles multiplicity distribution [Formula: see text] of Proton-Proton [Formula: see text] collisions using an efficient DNN model. The charged particles multiplicity n, the total center of mass energy [Formula: see text], and the pseudorapidity [Formula: see text] used as input in DNN model and the desired output is [Formula: see text]. DNN was trained to build a function, which studies the relationship between [Formula: see text]. The DNN model showed a high degree of consistency in matching the data distributions. The DNN model is used to predict with [Formula: see text] not included in the training set. The expected [Formula: see text] had effectively merged the experimental data and the values expected indicate a strong agreement with Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for ATLAS measurement at [Formula: see text], 7 and 8 TeV.

In this report, we present the latest ATLAS results on the measurement of the cross sections and couplings of the Higgs boson in the fermionic decay modes, H → μ+μ-, H → τ+τ- and H → bb. The searches are performed with proton-proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider during Run 1 and the first two years of Run 2 at √s = 7, 8 and 13 TeV.

Meson cross-sections are evaluated in two-photon interaction in hadron–hadron ultraperipheral collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and Future Circular Collider (FCC). Two models of the equivalent photon flux are employed in the calculations. Cross-sections of meson production in proton–proton and proton-lead ultraperipheral collisions are presented in this paper. These meson cross-sections in two-photon interaction can be applied to predict cross-sections in the experiments at the LHC and FCC.

We describe the design of the ATLAS and CMS detectors as they are being prepared to commence data-taking at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The very high energy proton–proton collisions are meant to dissect matter and space–time itself into its primary elements and generators. The detectors by synthesizing the information from the debris of the collisions are reconstituting the interactions that took place. LHC's ATLAS and CMS experiments (and not only these) are at the closest point of answering in the lab some of the most puzzling fundamental observations in nature today.

AbstractThis paper provides an account of the nature of creativity in high-energy physics experiments through an integrated historical and philosophical study of the current and planned attempts to measure the self-coupling of the Higgs boson by two experimental collaborations (ATLAS and CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the planned High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). A notion of creativity is first identified broadly as an increase in the epistemic value of a measurement outcome from an unexpected transformation, and narrowly as a condition for knowledge of the measurement of the self-coupling of the Higgs. Drawing upon Tal’s model-based epistemology of measurement (2012) this paper shows how without change to ‘readings’ (or ‘instrument indicators’) a transformation to the model of the measurement process can increase the epistemic value of the measurement outcome. Such transformations are attributed to the creativity of the experimental collaboration. Creativity, in this context, is both a product, a creative and improved model, and the distributed collaborative process of transformation to the model of the measurement process. For the case of the planned measurements at the HL-LHC, where models of the measurement process perform the epistemic function of prediction, creativity is included in the models of the measurement process, both as projected quantified creativity and as an assumed property of the future collaborations.

The possibility of producing nonperturbative low-scale gravity states in collider experiments was first discussed in about 1998. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have searched for nonperturbative low-scale gravity states using the Large Hadron Collider with a proton–proton center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. These experiments have now seriously confronted the possibility of producing nonperturbative low-scale gravity states which were proposed over 17 years ago. I will summarize the results of the searches, give a personal view of what they mean, and make some predictions for 13 TeV center-of-mass energy. I will also discuss early ATLAS 13 TeV center-of-mass energy results.
