Optical data transmission at the Superconducting Super Collider

The Superconducting Super Collider Project*

The elementary particle physics community in the United States is proposing the construction of a very high energy, high luminosity, proton-proton collider called the Superconducting Super Collider1 (SSC) The proposed SSC has a maximum energy of 20 TeV per beam, yielding a total energy of 40 TeV; and a maximum luminosity of 1033~m-2s-1. The design is based upon the use of 6.6 Tesla superconduct...

Superconducting Superstructure for the TESLA Collider

We discuss the new layout of a cavity chain (superstructure) allowing, we hope, significant cost reduction of the RF system of both linacs of the TESLA linear collider. The proposed scheme increases the fill factor and thus makes an effective gradient of an accelerator higher. We present mainly computations we have performed up to now and which encouraged us to order the copper model of the sch...

Applying Rule Ensembles to the Search for Super-Symmetry at the Large Hadron Collider

In this note we give an example application of a recently presented predictive learning method called Rule Ensembles. The application we present is the search for supersymmetric particles at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we consider the problem of separating the background coming from top quark production from the signal of supersymmetric particles. The method is based on an expansi...
