Abstract

SRNL fabricated two coulometers that have been delivered to LANL. All testing for electrical components is performed by R&D engineering and the results are attached to this report. Instrument testing for the first instrument was completed on August 2018 and installation at LANL was completed February 2019. This report addresses testing performed at FH Analytical Laboratory for the second instrument that arrived at LANL on June 5th, 2020. The testing is performed using Plutonium working standards. The instrument was kept in a radiologically clean area. The component calibration of the second LANL coulometer was completed in SRNL Building 723-A.

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.
