Abstract

ICARUS T-600 will be the Far Detector of the upcoming SBN program, for which it will leverage a ∼ 1ns response and a high resolution for neutrino event reconstruction. ICARUS will respond to the challenge of the cosmic flux at the surface thanks to its Cosmic Ray Tagging (CRT) system. The work conducted during the Summer Students at Fermilab program contributed to the calibration activities that are ongoing in view of the second physics run in late 2022: the timing of CRT and PMT signals was analysed, highlighting the need for corrections to the PMTs. The timing delay for the global trigger signal for a section of the side CRT. The possibility of calibrating the light yield of the side CRTs with run data was finally explored.

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.
