The MATHUSLA detector concept (MAssive Timing Hodoscope for Ultra-Stable neutraL pArticles) will be presented. It can be implemented on the surface above the ATLAS or CMS detectors in time for the high-luminosity LHC operations, to search for neutral long-lived particles with lifetimes up to the BBN limit. The large area of the detector allows MATHUSLA to make important contributions also to cosmic ray physics. We will also report on the analysis of data collected by the test stand installed on the surface above the ATLAS detector, the ongoing background studies, and plans for the MATHUSLA detector. The observation of neutral long-lived particles at the LHC would reveal physics beyond the Standard Model and could account for the many open issues in our understanding of our universe. Long-lived particle signatures are well motivated and can appear in many theoretical constructs that address the Hierarchy Problem, Dark Matter, Neutrino Masses and the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe.","PeriodicalId":163721,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of XXIX International Symposium on Lepton Photon Interactions at High Energies — PoS(LeptonPhoton2019)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122122075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dual-phase technology foreseen the charge amplification in the gas phase before the signal collection and is following a staged approach to demonstrate its feasibility at the DUNE FD scale. In 2017, a 4-ton demonstrator of 3x1x1 m$^3$ volume was exposed to cosmic muons and demonstrated expected performance in terms of charge extraction and light collection. A bigger prototype (ProtoDUNE-DP), with an active volume of 6x6x6 m$^3$, is currently under commissioning at CERN. The photon detection system in these detectors is crucial to provide the trigger signal giving an absolute time reference for the charge acquisition system of rare non-beam events, and to provide complementary calorimetry. An overview of the analysis of the light collected in the 4-ton demonstrator has been presented. These prototypes confirmed the performance of the light detection system to provide trigger based on the scintillation light signal, to characterize the LAr response to the crossing muons and to monitor the LAr purity. The analyzed data are compared with MC simulations to improve the values of less understood LAr optical parameters such as the Rayleigh scattering length.","PeriodicalId":163721,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of XXIX International Symposium on Lepton Photon Interactions at High Energies — PoS(LeptonPhoton2019)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121596873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This HTT will be composed of about 700 ATCA boards, based on new technologies available on the market, like high-speed links and powerful FPGAs, as well as custom-designed Associative Memory ASIC (AM), which are an evolution of those used extensively in previous experiments and in the ATLAS Fast Tracker (FTK). The HTT is designed to cope with the expected extreme high luminosity in the so called \"L0 only\" scenario, where HTT will operate at the L0 rate (1 MHz). It will provide good quality tracks to the software-based High-Level-Trigger (HLT), operating as coprocessor. It will allow for a reduction of the HLT farm size by a factor of 10, by lightening the load of the software tracking. All ATLAS upgrade projects are also designed for an evolved, so-called \"L0/L1\" architecture, where part of HTT is used in a low-latency mode (L1Track), providing tracks in regions of ATLAS at a rate of up to 4 MHz, with a latency of a few micro-seconds. This second phase poses very stringent requirements on the latency budget and to the dataflow rates. All the requirements and the specifications of this system have been assessed. The design of all the components has been reviewed and validated with preliminary simulation studies. After these validations are completed, the development of the first prototypes will start. In this paper we describe the status of the design review, highlighting the technical challenges and required specifications, towards the preparation of the first slice tests with real prototypes.","PeriodicalId":163721,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of XXIX International Symposium on Lepton Photon Interactions at High Energies — PoS(LeptonPhoton2019)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126736506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
