Wafers with the ALTIROC2 chip were received this week. This is a major milestone for the HGTD project.R. Casanova played a leading role in the design of the digital part of the chip and its verification.

The ATLAS pixel group completed the first step to qualify IFAE as a 3D module production site for the HL-LHC upgrade

The European Physical Society conference on high energy physics 2021 (EPS-HEP 2021 ), one of the most important conferences in HEP of the year, is taking place online this week. Three IFAE groups are participating:

“Measurement of the tttt production cross section in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector ” has been submitted to JHEP. Members of the IFAE-ATLAS team (Aurelio Juste, Nicola Orlando, and Anil Sonay) have played a leading role in this publication, from designing the analysis strategy to the final multivariate technique and statistical analysis employed.

The ATLAS Collaboration celebrates the creativity, wealth and scientific impact enshrined in its 1000 papers using LHC collision data.

Anil Sonay, member of the IFAE-ATLAS group at gave the talk “The search for rare top production and decay processes with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC” at Pheno 2021 on 24-26 May 2021

The ALTIROC2 ASIC for the ATLAS High-Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) has been submitted. This is a major milestone of the HGTD project.
