Detecting High-Momentum Muons at the LHC: The ATLAS Approach: Detecting High-Momentum Muons at the LHC: The ATLAS Approach
- Arisa Wada (Nagoya University)
Description
Muons are key probes of the physics program at the Large Hadron Collider, providing clean experimental signatures across a wide range of measurements and searches. In proton–proton collisions at the TeV energy scale, however, their detection poses significant experimental challenges, including precise momentum measurement, fast bunch-crossing identification, and robust triggering in a high-rate environment.
In this seminar, I will introduce the design principles of the ATLAS muon spectrometer and discuss how these experimental constraints shape its detector architecture and trigger strategy. I will also outline current developments and future challenges in view of the High-Luminosity LHC.
