Soft Qcd with the Atlas Detector at the Lhc
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. Soft QCD measurements using proton-proton collisions at √ s = 900 GeV and 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are presented. Charged particle distributions were measured using tracks reconstructed in the ATLAS inner detector. Activity in the underlying event was studied using independent measurements from tracking detectors and calorimeters. Two-particle angular correlations measurement is also presented. Finally, a new measurement of the inelastic cross-section at √ s=7 TeV has been made using events counted by the Minimum Bias trigger. Results are compared to different Monte Carlo models.

Measurements of W /Z production with the ATLAS detector
W and Z boson production have been measured in the electron, muon and tau decay channels at the LHC with the ATLAS detector. Total and differential cross sections, defined in terms of the decay lepton kinematics, have been measured as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum. Ratios of the cross sections demonstrate sensitivity to lepton universality. The kinematic distributions constrain...
متن کاملQCD and Top Quark Physics at the LHC
The expected performance of the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in QCD and top quark measurements is discussed, with a focus on the early data taking phase. Such processes are amongst the primary backgrounds in the searches for new physics, and thus must be understood very well before discoveries can be made. In addition, they serve as useful detector calibration cand...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Physics Prospects with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
The next great energy frontier in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions is quickly approaching with the completion of the Large Hadron Collider and the ATLAS experiment is poised to make important contributions in understanding QCD matter at extreme conditions. While designed for high-pT measurements in high-energy p+ p collisions, the detector is well suited to study many aspects of heavy ion coll...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Underlying Event and Minimum Bias at LHC
A study of Underlying Events (UE) and Minimum Bias (MB) at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with CMS and ATLAS detector under nominal conditions is discussed. Using charged particle and charged particle jets, it will be possible to discriminate between various QCD models with different multiple parton interaction schemes, which correctly reproduce Tevatron data but give different predictions when ex...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Physics with the ATLAS detector
Recent results from RHIC experiments suggest that a hot and dense QCD matter, which maybe the quark gluon plasma (QGP), is formed in Gold+Gold collisions at a center mass energy of 200 GeV per colliding nucleon pair. The LHC is planning to accelerate heavy nuclei such as Lead at energies of 2.75 TeV/nucleon. At these energies it will be possible to produce a even higher temperature QCD matter. ...
