Abstract

A variable resolution, transform limited monochromator is designed for the Free Electron Laser (FEL) source of LCLS. It provides monochromatic beam in the 250–1500 eV range, delivering the beam on the second floor of the LCLS experimental Hall. One major requirement for this monochromator is to provide, as close as possible, monochromatic transform limited pulses for time-resolved experiments. The theory and the limit of using classical diffraction scheme to monochromatize Soft X-ray beam, while preserving the pulse length, will be presented, together with the optical scheme of this versatile monochromator design.

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.
