Anja Beck (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

On this week's episode of FCC@MIT and friends...

For remote participation use this Zoom room.

Emmett: check the thickness of vertex Si (ARCADIA-MD3?), run on other samples with different mesh sizes to see effects

Ahmad: make list of potential improvements to ddsim

Estrella: plot k=1/P (curvature) instead of P, behaves Gaussian

Katie: make ratio plots for X T / 2 T, scan 0..1 T to see turning point, make plots for z instead of theta, check other distributions than theta/phi for different mesh sizes

Jesus: also plot k=1/P (curvature) instead of P, investigate upwards trend..

Yuki: NTR; need to assign VTX/beam backgrounds project?

1 Beam background studies

Speakers: Benedikt Maier (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Jan Eysermans (PPC)

2 Students progress presentations

Speakers: Mr Ahmad Aliahmad (Brown University School of Engineering), Emmett Forrestel, Estrella Cayuelas Solano (student@mit.edu), Jan Eysermans (PPC), Jesus Galarza Rondinel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Katie Kudela (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

Week 2 - FCC Beam Background (Katie).pdf

Week of 09_06_25 - 13_06_25 (Estrella).pdf

3 Extrapolating performance etc of taggers at Z-pole to ZH

Speakers: Christoph Paus (MIT), Loukas Gouskos (Brown university)

4 Lb -> L mumu polarisation

Study effect of non-zero Lb polarisation on rare b -> smumu processes

Speakers: Anja Beck (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Eluned A. Smith (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

5 PID at the FCC-ee

How good is our PID if we don't' have an dedicated timing layer or RICH detectors

Speakers: Anja Beck (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Eluned A. Smith (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

6 Drift chamber + use in read out for beam background rejection(?)

Speakers: Alexander Poulin, Dolores Garcia, Louise Skinnari (Northeastern University)

7 MAPs testing etc

Speaker: Mariarosaria D'Alfonso (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
