Abstract:

The process p over(p, ̄) → γ + jet + X is studied using 1.0 fb-1 of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p over(p, ̄) collider at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 1.96   TeV. Photons are reconstructed in the central rapidity region | yγ | < 1.0 with transverse momenta in the range 30 < pT γ < 400   GeV while jets are reconstructed in either the central | yjet | < 0.8 or forward 1.5 < | yjet | < 2.5 rapidity intervals with pT jet > 15   GeV. The differential cross section d3 σ / d pT γ d yγ d yjet is measured as a function of pT γ in four regions, differing by the relative orientations of the photon and the jet in rapidity. Ratios between the differential cross sections in each region are also presented. Next-to-leading order QCD predictions using different parameterizations of parton distribution functions and theoretical scale choices are compared to the data. The predictions do not simultaneously describe the measured normalization and pT γ dependence of the cross section in the four measured regions.

The ATLAS and CMS Plans for the LHC Luminosity Upgrade

ArXiv 0809.0671 (2008)

Abstract:

In January 2007 the CERN director general announced the plan for the staged upgrade of the LHC luminosity. The plan foresees a phase 1 upgrade reaching a peak luminosity of $3 \times 10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ followed by phase reaching up to $ 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. We discuss the physics potential and the experimental challenges of an upgraded LHC running. The detector R&D needed to operate ATLAS and CMS in a very high radiation environment and the expected detector performance are also discussed.
