Activities

The Research interests and activities of the Group are:

• Hardware - gaseous muon detectors
  • BIS construction (1997-2003)
  • BIS commissioning (2003-2005)
  • BIS installation (2005-2007)
  • Micromegas
• Muon Spectrometer
  • Commissioning (Test Beam, Cosmic Runs)
  • Data quality
  • Muon efficiency
  • CSC muon reconstruction
• Physics
  • Expected Performance of the ATLAS Experiment

  - Muon Performance, Muon in Calometry studies

  - Di-boson studies

  - B-Physics

  • Collision data

  B-Physics

  - First observation of the J/psi->mumu resonance

  - Measurement of the J/psi->mumu differential cross section and fraction from B-decays

  - Observation of the B+/- meson in the decay B+/- -> J/psi (mumu) K+/- in ATLAS

  W and Z Physics

  - Measurement of the W->lnu and Z/gamma*->ll production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

  - Measurement of the W -> lnu production cross-section and observation of Z -> ll production in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

  - Measurement of the Z -> ll production cross section in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

  - Observation of W->lnu and Z->ll production in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
