Hardware performance of a scanning system for high speed analysis of nuclear emulsions

The use of nuclear emulsions in very large physics experiments is now possible thanks to the recent improvements in the industrial production of emulsions and to the development of fast automated microscopes. In this paper the hardware performances of the European Scanning System (ESS) are described. The ESS is a very fast automatic system developed for the mass scanning of the emulsions of the OPERA experiment, which requires microscopes with scanning speeds of about 20 cm^2/h in an emulsion volume of 44 micron thickness.

A novel automatic film changer for high-speed analysis of nuclear emulsions

This paper describes the recent development of a novel automatic computer-controlled manipulator for emulsion film placement and removal at the microscope object table (also called stage). The manipulator is designed for mass scanning of emulsion films for the OPERA neutrino oscillation experiment and provides emulsion changing time shorter than 30 seconds with an emulsion film positioning accuracy as good as 20 microns RMS.

Prompt J/psi production at the LHC

Models with essential non-perturbative QCD dynamics for the production of charmonium are extrapolated to give predictions of prompt J/psi production at the LHC. Differences of up to an order of magnitude occurs, although the different models all describe the Tevatron data on high-pT charmonium. An important point is here the treatment of higher order perturbative QCD effects. We also discuss the large rate of prompt J/psi from these models as a background to CP violation studies.

Prompt J/psi production from Tevatron to LHC

Models with essential non-perturbative QCD dynamics and describing Tevatron data on high-$p_\perp$ charmonium are extrapolated to give predictions of prompt J/psi production at the LHC. Differences of up to an order of magnitude occurs. An important point is here the treatment of higher order perturbative QCD effects.

Searching for physics beyond the Standard Model in the decay B+ -> K+K+pi-

The observation potential of the decay B+ -> K+K+pi- with the ATLAS detector at LHC is described in this paper. In the Standard Model this decay mode is highly suppressed, while in models beyond the Standard Model it could be significantly enhanced. To improve the selection of the K+K+pi- final state, a charged hadron identification using Time-over-Threshold measurements in the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker was developed and used.
