I had the opportunity to live the process of the detector s building, simulation, test and launch. This allowed me to topple between four challenging domains: physics, electronics, industry and computing. ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) is one of the experiments equipping the collision points at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN-Geneva started by the end of the year 2009. The main goal of the experiment is the discovery of the Higgs boson, the missing piece in the Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics and to explore physics beyond the SM. The calorimeters are the vital subdetectors of ATLAS and are playing a key role in the discovery potential aimed by the experiment since they are devices for measuring particles energy. My research work focuses on the analysis of the read-out data coming from the Electromagnetic End-cap Calorimeter (EMEC) underlying electronics and on the High Voltage Control (HV) System of the Hadronic Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) which is a subset of the ATLAS global Detector Control System (DCS). Working within the ATLAS collaboration helped me to sharpen my skills and to acquire a satisfactory experience by allowing me to work with experts and to live the preparations and setups needed to ensure a successful starts of a tremendous high energy physics project. Among miscellaneous topics on physics and computing, I have worked for ATLAS on : 4/5
Data analysis First, the analysis of the calibration data related to the production modules of the Electromagnetic End-cap Calorimeter has allowed us to compare the progress made since prototyping. Secondly, the characterization and the measurement of the crosstalk in each channel has enabled us to locate the problematic channels showing abnormalities in their responses and also to calculate the correction factors to be applied to energy measurements during detector s operations. Upgrading the Detector Control System During a research stay at CERN, I handled the task of DIM (Distributed Information Management) integration into the TileCal HV DCS to make a new distributed release based on Client/Server paradigm. The DCS role is to guarantee a lifetime monitoring of all operational parameters of the detector. Currently, my activities are mainly around grid computing and simulation software in physics and chemistry. 5/5
