AbstractAbstract
[en] The study of vector pair production ZZ and Zγ at the LHC allows us to test the trilinear couplings. Deviations of the couplings from the SM values would indicate the presence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Prospects for measuring neutral gauge boson couplings (NTGC) in ZZ and Zγ production with the ATLAS detector are studied in details including a fast detector simulation. NLO corrections in hadronic di-boson production are large at LHC energies, particularly in the region of maximum sensitivity to anomalous NTGC. With veto of hard jets, the qualitative shape of the LO distributions is recovered. The expected limits on these couplings will improve the limits obtained by the LEP experiments by three to five orders of magnitude. A precise knowledge of the calorimeter energy scale is mandatory for precision measurements at the LHC. Precision studies of the linearity calorimeter response with test beam data require a good knowledge of the absolute beam energy. Two methods to estimate the field integral in the magnet were studied: a precise measurement of the magnet current and direct measurement of the field by a set of Hall probes. By taking into account the effects of hysteresis, the remnant field and the energy loss by synchrotron radiation, the beam energy is measured with good precision of 8*10-4. A method of weighting the longitudinal compartments of the electromagnetic calorimeter was developed. It allows to obtain a linearity response of 0.1% in the Monte Carlo, 0.3% with the test beam data. Limitations related to the calibration and the signal reconstruction are observed and must be investigated to improve the linearity studies in the data. (author)

L'etude de la production des paires de bosons de jauge ZZ et Zγ au LHC permet de tester les couplages a trois bosons de jauge neutres (NTGC) Toute deviation de ces couplages par rapport a leurs valeurs predites dans le modele standard indiquerait l'existence d'une nouvelle physique audela du modele standard. La possibilite de mesures des NTGC dans les etats finals ZZ et Zγ avec le detecteur ATLAS a ete etudiee en details en utilisant une simulation simplifiee du detecteur. Les corrections NLO de QCD sont tres importantes aux energies du LHC, particulierement dans les regions de sensibilite aux couplages anormaux NTGC. Un veto de jet est applique pour retrouver la forme qualitative des distributions au niveau du terme de Born. Les limites prevues amelioreront les limites actuelles etablies par LEP2 et celles prevues au TeVatron par trois a cinq ordres de grandeur. La connaissance de l'echelle d'energie des electrons est essentielle pour effectuer des mesures de precision au LHC. L'etude de la linearite avec les donnees du faisceau test suppose une tres bonne connaissance de l'energie du faisceau et de la reponse du calorimetre. Deux methodes ont ete utilisees pour mesurer l'energie du faisceau par des mesures des courants et par des mesures du champs magnetiques a l'aide de sondes a effet Hall. L'energie du faisceau a ete mesuree avec une bonne precision de 8 x 10-4. Une procedure de ponderation entre les compartiments du calorimetre electromagnetique a ete developpee. Elle permet d'obtenir une linearite de 0.1% dans le Monte Carlo et de 0.3% dans les donnees du faisceau test. Certaines limitations associees a la calibration et a la reconstruction du signal ont ete observees dans les donnees. Ces effets doivent etre etudies en detail pour ameliorer la linearite dans les donnees. (auteur)Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] Nuclear fission is treated as a diffusion process in phase space corresponding to the essential collective variable of fission. The solution of the two-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation is used to obtain an escape rate over the collective potential barrier. This escape rate over the barrier presents a transient regime, the asymptotic value of which is identified to the fission width given by the usual statistical model. This time dependent fission width is included in a schematic formalism for the deexcitation of the compound nucleus to calculate the multiplicities of pre-fission neutrons. A sensitive dependence of the multiplicities on the friction and an enhancement of the multiplicities with respect to the standard statistical model at high energy are obtained

AbstractAbstract
[en] An old idea of Kramers is to consider nuclear fission as a diffusion process in phase space corresponding to the collective variable of fission. The fission width is taken as an escape rate of the system over the barrier potential. The evolution of the distribution of this collective variable and its conjugate is governed by a Fokker-Planck equation. In a quasistationary treatment Kramers obtained a fission rate which differs from the result given by the transition state method by a friction dependent factor. The non quasistationary solution of the Fokker-Planck equation allows to obtain an escape rate that presents a transient regime: from zero it grows and reaches asymptotically the Kramers' value. This time-dependent fission width is included in a formalism that describes the deexcitation of the compound nucleus in order to calculate the neutron multiplicities in competition with fission. A sensitive friction-dependence of the multiplicities is obtained. Using this formalism and comparing the results with data of a recent experiment gives a good agreement; resolving the disagreement between data and the usual statistical model at high energy. A range of values of the friction coefficient is deduced

Une vieille idee par Kramers consiste a considerer la fission nucleaire comme un processus de diffusion dans l'espace des phases correspondant a la variable collective de fission. La largeur de fission est ainsi prise comme un taux de fuite du systeme par-dessus la barriere du potentiel collectif. L'evolution de la distribution de cette variable collective et de sa conjugee est regie par une equation de Fokker-Planck. Dans un traitement quasistationnaire, Kramers obtint un taux de fission qui differe du resultat de la methode de l'etat de transition par un facteur dependant de la friction. La solution non quasistationnaire de l'equation de Fokker-Planck permet d'obtenir un taux de fuite qui presente un regime transitoire: d'une valeur nulle, il croit et atteint asymptotiquement la valeur de Kramers. Cette largeur de fission dependante du temps est incluse dans un formalisme de desexcitation du noyau compose pour calculer les multiplicites de neutrons en competition avec la fission. Une dependance sensible des multiplicites en fonction de la friction est obtenue. L'application du formalisme a une experience recente donne un bon accord avec les resultats, resolvant le desaccord entre l'experience et le modele statistique usuel qui existait a haute energie. Un intervalle de valeurs de la friction nucleaire est deduitOriginal Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] Muons in the ATLAS detector are reconstructed by combining the information from the two tracking devices: the Inner Detector and the Muon Spectrometer (MS), located in the outermost part of the experiment. Until they reach the MS, muons traverse typically 100 radiation lengths (X0) of material, most part instrumented by the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters. The proper account for multiple scattering and energy loss effects is essential for the reconstruction and the use of the calorimeter measurement can improve the transverse momentum resolution, specially in case of high energy deposits. On the other hand, the calorimeter activity around a muon, or conversely its isolation, is one of the most powerful features to distinguish W and Z decays from semi-leptonic decays of heavy flavour mesons (containing b and c quarks). The principle of the software package that performs these tasks, called TrackInCaloTools is presented together with the expected performance in physics analyses.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Using a diffusion model for the fission process and a simple cascade scheme for the de-excitation of the compound nucleus, we show that multiplicities of pre-fission neutrons depend sensitively on the nuclear friction β. With respect to predictions of the statistical model, enhancement by factors 2 to 5 are obtained in the excitation energy range 100 to 200 MeV, depending on the value of β. (orig.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] We discuss the effects of nuclear dissipation of fission probabilities that are characteristic of a diffusion model of the fission process. Reproducing the experimental fission probabilities at low excitation energies fixes the ratio asub(f)/asub(n) of the level density parameters for a given strength of the reduced dissipation coefficient β. These low energy constraints on asub(f)/asub(n) and β balance the effects of transients on neutron multiplicities prior to fission at higher excitation energies. For the competitive decay of 158Er formed in the reaction 16O+142Nd at 207 MeV we show that due to transients only the multiplicity of pre-fission neutrons is enhanced with respect to the prediction of the statistical model in a manner consistent with our earlier general analysis.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Wγ, WZ, Zγ and ZZ production at the 14 TeV Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provides an opportunity to probe charged and neutral gauge boson self-interaction in a direct way. The possibility to detect anomalous couplings is investigated in the context of the ATLAS detector. The expected confidence intervals for anomalous couplings are presented including the effects of higher order QCD corrections and the contribution from systematic effects. Techniques for measuring the energy dependence of anomalous couplings are demonstrated. (author)
