The Future Circular Collider : a Summary for the US 2021 Snowmass Process
- 2022
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this white paper for the 2021 Snowmass process, we give a description of the proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC) project and its physics program. The paper summarizes and updates the discussion submitted to the European Strategy on Particle Physics. After construction of an approximately 90 km tunnel, an electron-positron collider based on established technologies allows world-record instantaneous luminosities at center-of-mass energies from the Z resonance up to tt thresholds, enabling a rich set of fundamental measurements including Higgs couplings determinations at the sub percent level, precision tests of the weak and strong forces, and searches for new particles, including dark matter, both directly and via virtual corrections or mixing. Among other possibilities, the FCC-ee will be able to (i) indirectly discover new particles coupling to the Higgs and/or electroweak bosons up to scales around 7 and 50 TeV, respectively; (ii) perform competitive SUSY tests at the loop level in regions not accessible at the LHC; (iii) study heavy-flavor and tau physics in ultra-rare decays beyond the LHC reach, and (iv) achieve the best potential in direct collider searches for dark matter, sterile neutrinos, and axion-like particles with masses up to around 90 GeV. The tunnel can then be reused for a proton-proton collider, establishing record center-of-mass collision energy, allowing unprecedented reach for direct searches for new particles up to the around 50 TeV scale, and a diverse program of measurements of the Standard Model and Higgs boson, including a precision measurement of the Higgs self-coupling, and conclusively testing weakly-interacting massive particle scenarios of thermal relic dark matter.

Consistent identification of continuous-time systems under multisine input signal excitation
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- For many years, the Simplified Refined Instrumental Variable method for Continuous-time systems (SRIVC) has been widely used for identification. The intersample behaviour of the input plays an important role in this method, and it has been shown recently that the SRIVC estimator is not consistent if an incorrect assumption on the intersample behaviour is considered. In this paper, we present an extension of the SRIVC algorithm that is able to deal with input signals that cannot be interpolated exactly through hold reconstructions. The proposed estimator is generically consistent for any input reconstructed through zero or first-order-hold devices, and we show that it is generically consistent for continuous-time multisine inputs as well. The statistical performance of the proposed estimator is compared to the standard SRIVC estimator through extensive simulations.

Extraction of the specific shear viscosity of quark-gluon plasma from two-particle transverse momentum correlations
- 2020
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The specific shear viscosity, η/s, of the quark-gluon plasma formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC is estimated based on the progressive longitudinal broadening of transverse momentum two-particle correlators, G2, reported as a function of collision centrality by the STAR and ALICE experiments. Estimates are computed as a function of collision centrality using the Gavin ansatz which relates the G2 longitudinal broadening to the specific shear viscosity. Freeze out times required for the use of the ansatz are computed using a linear fit of freeze out times reported as a function of the cubic root of the charged particle pseudorapidity density (dNch/dη)1/3. Estimates of η/s based on ALICE data exhibit little to no dependence on collision centrality at LHC energy, while estimates obtained from STAR data hint that η/s might be a function of collision centrality at top RHIC energy.

Efficiency Analysis of the Simplified Refined Instrumental Variable Method for Continuous-time Systems
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this paper, we derive the asymptotic Cramér-Rao lower bound for the continuous-time output error model structure and provide an analysis of the statistical efficiency of the Simplified Refined Instrumental Variable method for Continuous-time systems (SRIVC) based on sampled data. It is shown that the asymptotic Cramér-Rao lower bound is independent of the intersample behaviour of the noise-free system output and hence only depends on the intersample behaviour of the system input. We have also shown that, at the converging point of the SRIVC algorithm, the estimates do not depend on the intersample behaviour of the measured output. It is then proven that the SRIVC estimator is asymptotically efficient for the output error model structure under mild conditions. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to verify the asymptotic Cramér-Rao lower bound and the asymptotic covariance of the SRIVC estimates.
