Abstract

A method is described for applying a sequence of peridynamic models with different length scales concurrently to subregions of a body. The method allows the smallest length scale, and therefore greatest spatial resolution, to be focused on evolving defects such as cracks. The peridynamic horizon in each of the models is half of that of the next model in the sequence. The boundary conditions on each model are provided by the solution predicted by the model above it. Material property characterization for each model is derived by coarse-graining the more detailed resolution in the model below it. Implementation of the multiscale method in the PDMS code is described. Examples of crack growth modeling illustrate the ability of the method to reproduce the main features of crack growth seen in a model with uniformly small resolution. Comparison of the multiscale model results with XFEM and cohesive elements is also given for a crack growth problem.

High Multiplicity Trigger for long-lived particles in CMS detector

Searches for long-lived particles (LLPs) at the CMS experiment often involve unconventional event topologies that are difficult to efficiently select using standard trigger strategies. To improve sensitivity to such signatures during LHC Run 3 operation, a dedicated High Multiplicity Trigger (HMT) has been developed and deployed in the CMS trigger system. The trigger targets events containing unusually large numbers of hits in the CMS cathode strip chamber (CSC) muon detectors, a characteristic signature of several LLP scenarios involving displaced decays in the muon system. The HMT implementation, trigger logic, rate dependence with pileup, and operational stability are described. Optimized hit multiplicity thresholds are used to maintain acceptable trigger rates under high-luminosity and high-pileup conditions while preserving high efficiency across a broad range of LLP lifetimes and kinematic regimes. The trigger performance is evaluated using both simulated event samples and proton-proton collision data collected during Run 3 of the LHC. The HMT substantially extends the CMS sensitivity to non-standard signatures associated with LLP decays and provides a flexible platform for future searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
