Joshi, Shivam. "Characterization of resistive Micromegas for High Angle-Time Projection Chambers readout and preparation of neutrino physics analysis with upgraded near detector of T2K experiment." Electronic Thesis or Diss., université Paris-Saclay, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024UPASP123.
Full textThe PhD work is in the field of Neutrino Physics as a part of the T2K experiment. The thesis is divided into two subjects- detector characterization and preparation of physics analysis. In the context of the upgrade of T2K near detector- ND280, a model was developed and utilized to characterize the charge spreading in novel resistive Micromegas (ERAM) detector. In addition, pad-by-pad gain and energy resolution was obtained for each ERAM for a complete characterization. The results directly led to the selection of specific ERAMs for installation at specific positions in the High Angle-Time Projection Chamber anode planes for charge readout. In total, 37 ERAMs were successfully characterized using X-ray data from a test bench at CERN. This information was also used as inputs for reconstruction. Improvement in statistics and detection efficiency of charged-current quasi-elastic events in high Q² (4-momentum transfer) region after the ND280 upgrade was studied. The question of- how effectively the high Q² uncertainties will be constrained after the ND280 upgrade by the 4 high Q² parameters in the neutrino-nucleus cross-section model was addressed using T2K re-weighting tools and the ND280 fitter- GUNDAM. An important source of the high Q² uncertainties is the axial-vector form factor model (dipole) used currently in the cross-section model. Some alternative form factor models that can better constrain these uncertainties were also studied. The effect of uncertainties in nucleon removal energy estimation on different variables (muon kinematics, neutrino energy, etc.) was studied. Binned splines were produced for the 4 removal energy parameters in the cross-section model in the context of Oscillation Analysis using data collected in 2024

Full textThe study of the fundamental building blocks of matter necessitates always more powerful accelerators. New particles are produced in high energy collisions of protons or electrons. The by-Products of these collisions are detected in large apparatus surrounding the interaction point. The 125 GeV Higgs particle discovered at LHC will be studied in detail in the next e⁺e⁻ collider. The leading project for this is called ILC. The team that I joined is working on the R&D for a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) to detect the charged tracks by the ionization they leave in a gas volume, optimised for use at ILC. This primary ionization is amplified by the so-Called Micromegas device, with a charge-Sharing anode made of a resistive-Capacitive coating. After a presentation of the physics motivation for the ILC and ILD detector, I will review the principle of operation of a TPC (Chapter 2) and underline the advantages of the Micromegas readout with charge sharing. The main part of this PhD work concerns the detailed study of up to 12 prototypes of various kinds. The modules and their readout electronics are described in Chapter 3. A test-Bench setup has been assembled at CERN (Chapter 4) to study the response to a ⁵⁵Fe source, allowing an energy calibration and a uniformity study. In Chapter 5, the ion backflow is studied using a bulk Micromegas and the gas gain is measured using a calibrated electronics chain. With the same setup, the electron transparency is measured as a function of the field ratio (drift/amplification). Also, several beam tests have been carried out at DESY with a 5 GeV electron beam in a 1 T superconducting magnet. These beam tests allowed the detailed study of the spatial resolution. In the final test, the endplate was equipped with seven modules, bringing sensitivity to misalignment and distortions. Such a study required software developments (Chapter 6) to make optimal use of the charge sharing and to reconstruct multiple tracks through several modules with a Kalman filter algorithm. The results of these studies are given in Chapter 7. The TPC technique has been applied to neutron imaging in collaboration with the University of Lanzhou. A test using a neutron source has been carried out in China. The results are reported in Chapter 8

Full textThe miniaturization of optical systems, particularly wide-angle systems, is a subject of great importance. The reduction in size of optical components allows the integration of cameras in a wider range of applications. Even though continuous improvements in production techniques have led to great advances in the field of miniaturization, new techniques have to be developed in order to further miniaturize. The aim of this PhD project is to adapt and develop miniaturization techniques applicable to wide-angle optical systems. Through the study of various miniaturization techniques, the folded lens joined to foveated imaging and the correction of aberration via plenoptic imaging were retained as candidates allowing the miniaturization of wide-angle camera. Chapitre 3 gives an overall picture of the various avenues used in the literature for the miniaturization of optical systems. A short description of the techniques is presented as well as the reasons why some were discarded. An original miniature wide-angle endoscope design is presented in Chapitre 4, as well as the entire design and tolerancing process. The use of a fold in the system reduces the effective size of the system. Foveated imaging is used to control magnification in areas of interest. Two versions of the endoscope with different variations of their lfl are analyzed. It is shown that active control of distortion at during design can maintain the performance of an optical system in certain key regions of the field of view while reducing the number of elements that compose it. A reprojection algorithm for reconstructing an aberrated plenoptic image is presented in Chapitre 5. It is shown, through simulations, that it is possible to correct aberrations present in an optical system. Monochromatic, polychromatic and wide angle cases were successfully addressed and corrected. It was also demonstrated that the correction algorithm do not amplify the noise present in the original image. Finally, a simple prototype of a plenoptic camera was designed and tested in the laboratory.

Full textThe equation of state and the properties of dense nuclear matter are of considerable theoretical interest. The experimental study of such a problem can only be done in the laboratory with relativistic heavy ions collisions. Since inclusive measurements have proven to be rather insensitive to the equation of state, large solid angle detectors have been developed to measure most of the charged particles emitted in these collisions. Such a detector, Diogène, can only accept up to about 40 particles. This limitation comes from the double crack resolution of the detector. The interest for heavy colliding systems and the future improvement of the Saturn synchrotron showed the need for a change of the present electronics with a fixed integration time to a new sampling electronics. For comparative tests, such an electronics has been added to a small part of the detector, together with the existing system. Charge-coupled devices (CCD) which offer a large dynamic range have been selected for such a purpose. The sampling frequency has been limited to 50 MHz because of present data acquisition constraints. The use of a simple algorithm has led to an improvement of the double track resolution, by a factor of three. A specific technique has been used to keep a good localization in the transverse plane of the detector. It however has damaged somewhat the spatial resolution in the longitudinal direction. Therefore the whole detector equipment seems to require a 100 MHz sampling rate, although the present 50 MHz eco electronics can already be used to help trajectory reconstruction

Full textThis thesis presents a novel projection model for fisheye cameras, which is mathematically simple and yet shows a high precision when applied to real cameras. Geometric properties of the model have been analyzed using the concept of projection surface, introduced in this work. In particular, a closed-form inverse mapping and an implicit equation for straight line projection have been found. This fact has been used to develop a method of direct stereo correspondence on raw fisheye images via rasterization of implicit curve. This correspondence algorithm allows us to apply the Semi-Global Matching algorithm to get an accurate 3D reconstruction using fisheye stereo systems. All these elements have been shown to be applicable to a direct visual localization system with two different methods of image registration: direct photometric error minimization and mutual information maximization. Intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of a mobile robot with fisheye cameras has been considered and a toolbox for such a calibration has been developed

Full textIn this study, we determine the deep structure of the eastern Algerian basin and its southern margin in the Annaba region (easternmost Algeria), to better constrain the plate kinematic reconstruction in this region. This study is based on new geophysical data collected during the SPIRAL cruise in 2009 that included a wide-angle, 240-km-long, onshore-offshore seismic profile, multichannel seismic reflection lines, and gravity and magnetic data, which was complemented by the available geophysical data for the study area. The analysis and modeling of the wide-angle seismic data using travel-times and amplitudes, and integrated with the multichannel seismic lines, reveal the detailed structure of an ocean-to-continent transition. In the deep basin, there is an ~5.5-km-thick oceanic crust that is composed of two layers. The upper layer of the crust is defined by a high velocity gradient and P-wave velocities between 4.8 km/s and 6.0 km/s from the top to the bottom. The lower crust is defined by a lower velocity gradient and P-wave velocity between 6.0 km/s and 7.1 km/s. The Poisson ratio in the lower crust deduced from S-wave modeling is 0.28, which indicates that the lower crust is composed mainly of gabbros. Below the continental edge, a typical continental crust with P-wave velocities between 5.2 km/s and 7.0 km/s from the top to the bottom shows a gradual seaward thinning of ~15 km over an ~35-km distance

Full textThe present thesis is inserted in the SALSA project (Seryipe Alagoas Seismic Acquisition), which was conducted by a collaboration between the Department of Marine Geosciences : IFREMER, the Laboratory of Oceanic Domain IUEM, the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (IDL, Portugal), the Universidade de Brasilia (Brazil) and PETROBRAS (Brazil).Seismic shot, Multi-Channel Seismic acquisition (MCS) and Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) deployments were performed by the R/V L'Atalante (IFREMER) along 1-2 profiles.Among them, five were extended onshore by Land Seismic Stations (LSS). P-wave velocity models were constructed based on the joint interpretation of multichannel and wide-angle seismic data using the RAYINVR software.We present models derived from wide-angle refraction and coincident reflection data along two parallel profiles located on the Sergipe-Alagoas basin (SL01 and SL02), extending approximately 220 km and 200 km from the continental shelf to the distal Sergipe basin north to the Vaza-Barris Transfer zone, and one of them, the SL02 prolongates for 150 km through the continent, on Sergipe -Alagoas continental basin and its basement, the Sergipana FoId Belt.The foward modelling of the passive margin in the Sergipe Alagoas basin precisely constrains crustal geometries and segmentation. The crustal geometry puts in question the origin of the Sergipana Fold Belt, when compared with the geometries of the adjacent geological domains, the Sao Francisco Craton and the Borborema Province.The differences between the profiles illuminate the influence of the tectonic inheritance resulted by the Vaza-Barris Transfer Zone. These integrated information allowed some new conjectures around the geodynamic history of the region

Full textThe observable Universe is mainly made up of matter, while almost all the antimatter disappeared in the very early times. One explanation is that the Universe obeys the Sakharov conditions, which mean the existence of a C and CP symmetry violation. In Standard Model (SM), the main contribution to CP violation comes from the CKM mechanism, implying a mixing complex unitary matrix defining the coupling between up-type quarks and down-type quarks through the weak interaction. This matrix can be parameterized by four independent parameters measurable in experiments. One of the key goals of LHCb is to constrain those parameters. Specifically, the gamma angle of the CKM matrix sets a benchmark for CP violation, to be compared with the SM predictions. In particular, direct measurements with tree-diagram decays, theoretically clean, sets a "standard candle" for the SM. One can then test discrepancy with loop-level measurements that could be sensible to new physics phenomenons. The CKMfitter group has notably proved that, with a 1° precision on direct measurements, one may test the Standard Model up to at least 17 TeV. The current direct measurement combination at LHCb is gamma=(63.8-3.7+3.5)°, while the world average for indirect measurement, more precise, is gamma=(65.5-2.7+1.1)°. As no analysis currently dominates the measurement, each additional mode or method to deal with B(s)->D(*)0X open-charm B decays, that occurs at tree level, may help to increase the precision to the ultimate range. The angle gamma can be directly measured by amplitude modulation in the interference between the processes b->(c anti-u s) and b->(u anti-c s). This is the case in this thesis analysis, where a binned model-independent analysis of the mode B+-->Dh+- with D->Ks0 pi+ pi- pi0 is presented, using a generalized BPGGSZ method, where an additional pi0 meson is introduced. Here, D denotes an admixture of the D0 or anti-D0 states.The BPGGSZ method with the three-body decay D->Ks0 pi+ pi- currently is the most precise studied mode in LHCb. That's why, in this analysis, we study the corresponding four-body decay with an additional pi0, which has been studied in Belle but still not in LHCb, while we will show that we have more than twice Belle statistics with Run1 and 2, corresponding to 9fb-1 of integrated luminosity. This method consists in analysing the decay amplitude as a function of the decay phase-space. This leads to a good sensitivity on gamma thanks to the rich resonance structure but requires knowledge of the strong phase difference between the D0 and anti-D0 processes, which varies with the final-state kinematics. This analysis then takes as input a binned map of strong phase directly measured by CLEO-c experiment. This leaves this analysis strongly independent of any D0 decay amplitude model.In addition, a large upgrade of the LHCb detector has been performed the last years, before run 3 data taking. The expected instantaneous luminosity is five times larger than during the previous runs, mostly thanks to a new data acquisition system at 40MHz. Such a frequency plus the increasing radiation constraints and the will to increase spatial resolution, leads to the construction of a new LHCb detector version, holding peculiarly a state-of-the-art downstream tracker : the SciFi (Scintillating Fibers). This thesis analysis may then profit of this upgrade. In particular, a high track reconstruction efficiency linked to the SciFi performances is of main importance to reconstruct the five charged tracks. I took part, from the beginning of my thesis, to the end of its construction, and to the commissioning and monitoring. To do so, I had the opportunity to stay at CERN for six months. My contributions to SciFi subdetector includes FEBs temperature monitoring (online and offline), during commissioning and data taking, the geometry description migration in software, and the fine time-alignment in PACIFIC boards

Full textCharge Parity (CP) violation is a well-documented phenomenon described by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Understanding CP violation can explain why matter prevailed over antimatter after the Big Bang, essentially explaining our existence. Many theoretical predictions have been experimentally observed, starting with the 1964 discovery of CP violation in the neutral kaon system by James Cronin and Val Fitch. Since then, numerous flavour physics experiments have enriched our knowledge, observation after observation. Today, while CP violation in meson systems has been extensively studied, CP violation in baryon systems remains largely unexplored. This thesis contributes to this field, leveraging the LHCb experiment’s unique capability to produce baryons in sufficient quantities for detailed flavour studies. The focus is on the Lambda⁰_b particle, which decays into a three-body final state, D⁰p K⁻, with the D⁰meson further decaying into two hadrons. The dataset comprises 9 fb⁻¹ of pp collisions collected between 2011 and 2018 at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. The D⁰ final state has been selected choosing the technique later adopted in the research: the GLW (Gronau, London, Wyler) method, which focuses on CP-even eigenstates, specifically two kaons or two pions. An asymmetry between the final state and its mirror-opposite could be used to measure through the GLW method the CKM (Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa) angle γ, a fundamental parameter describing CP violation within the SM. The study employs new Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to optimise signal candidates, enhancing signal yield even in channels previously explored by the collaboration. Complementary to this analysis is a work on the Upstream Tracker (UT) detector, installed after Long Shutdown 1 (LS1) and operational in Run 3 of the LHC. Positioned upstream of the LHCb dipole magnet, the UT improves the momentum resolution of charged particles and reduces the rate of ghost tracks. It provides high-precision spatial measurements, contributing to accurate track reconstruction alongside the Vertex Locator (VELO) and the Scintillating Fibre Tracker (SciFi). This thesis details various phases of the UT commissioning, from installing and testing the Detector Control Boards (DCBs) to monitoring data acquisition and characterising silicon sensors. Tests involved ensuring the correct powering of boards and the functioning of optical links. Characterisation was crucial to identify and mask anomalous noise peaks in sensors and ensure proper operation of the amplification chain. Finally, real-time data monitoring during runs is essential to verify the detector’s correct functioning and intervene in case of malfunctioning

Full textThe NE American margin represents one of the best studied margins in the world, it was the subject of several scientific programs. In comparison, the conjugate NW African margin remains fairly unknown, only two deep seismic cruises were acquired: the SISMAR cruise (2001) offshore the Meseta and the DAKHLA cruise (2002) offshore the Sahara. The deep structure of the Canadian margin is known due to the SMART wide-angle seismic profiles 1, 2 and 3. The first objective of the MIRROR project was to acquire combined wide-angle and deep reflection seismic data offshore a segment conjugate to the SMART-1 profile. The comparison between the homologous segments of these two margins aimed to better understand the opening mechanism of the Central Atlantic Ocean. A comparison between Sismar, Dakhla and Mirror models shows that the continental crust is thicker in the north and thins toward the south. The width of the transition zone is narrower south and Sismar profiles are located on a sedimentary basin placed on a very thinned continental crust. Comparing the Mirror profile with that of the Canadian conjugate margin (Smart 1) shows that the thickness, the structure of the continental crust and the thinning is very similar. However, zones of exhumed and serpentinized mantle were imaged along the Canadian profile that have no conjugate on the African margin. Moreover, the thickness of the oceanic crust is variable with 8 km on the African side and only 3-4 km on the Canadian margin. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain this difference (a) an age difference between the two types of crust (b) thickening associated with the passage of the Canary hotspot (c) an asymmetric accretion or (d) an accretion at slow to ultra-slow speading centers

Full textIn the Ionian Sea (central Mediterranean) the slow convergence between Africa and Eurasia results in the formation of a narrow subduction zone. The nature of the crust of the subducting plate remains debated and could represent the last remnants of the Neo-Tethys ocean. The origin of the Ionian basin is also under discussion, especially concerning the rifting mechanisms as the Malta Escarpment could represent a remnant of this opening. This subduction retreats toward the south-east (motion occurring since the last 35 Ma) but is confined to the narrow Ionian basin. A major lateral slab tear fault is required to accommodate the slab rollback.This fault is thought to propagate along the eastern Sicily margin but its precise location remains controversial.This PhD project focussed on the deep sedimentary and crustal structures of the eastern Sicily margin and the Malta Escarpment (ME). Two two-dimensional P wave velocity models were modelled by forward Modelling of wide-angle seismic data, acquired onboard the R/V Meteor during the DIONYSUS cruise in 2014.A 3D gravity model of the region was also performed to constrain the depth of the subducting slab bellow the Calabro-Peloritan backstops. The seismicity of the three structures identified in the velocity models (ME, Alfeo fault System, Ionian Fault System) permits to study their recent activity. The results image an oceanic crust within the Ionian basin as well as the deep structure of the Malta Escarpment, which presents characteristics of a transform margin. A deep and asymmetrical sedimentary basin is imaged south of the Messina strait and seems to have opened between the Calabrian and Peloritan continental terranes. In the western lobe of the Calabrian accretionary prism, the southern velocity model allows to observe the indentation of the internal clastic wedge into the external evaporitic wedge, thus showing the recent activity of this lobe. The interpretation of the velocity models suggests that the major STEP fault is located east of the Malta Escarpment, along the Alfeo Fault System

Full textIn subduction zones, the 3D geometry of the plate interface is one of the key parameters that controls margin tectonic deformation, interplate coupling and seismogenic behavior. The North American plate subducts below the Caribbean plate with a convergence rate of 20 mm/y. The seismic activity is heterogeneous and increases locally under the Virgin Islands platform. The northward increasing convergence obliquity is favorable in partitioning which deformations were not really observed. This PhD confirms that the forearc crust is a crust of oceanic affinity thickened by hotspot magmatism and poorly affected by subduction magmatism. Two structures accommodating the partitioning of the deformation were identified. The Bunce Fault is a 850-kmlength sinistral strike-slip fault extending from Hispaniola to the east of Barbuda decoupling the accretionary prism from the Caribbean substratum. The Anegada Passage, whose extension towards the NE is highlighted, entailed deeply the forearc. The structures are reactivated in sinistral strike-slip faults compatible with the partitioning of the deformation after formation in extension due to the collision of the Bahamas Bank with the northern margin. We image for the first time the characteristics of a slow ridge formation (partly complex core and partly oceanic grain) entering in subduction. It affects the morphology of the accretion prism and probably the seismogenic potential of the subduction interface. We have highlighted a shallower slab which is located under the NE Anegada Passage and where earthquakes and partitioning deformations increase locally. Thus, the shallowing slab might results in a local greater interplate coupling favoring seismic activity and tectonic partitioning beneath the Anegada Passage

Full textThe inversion of passive margins appears to be one of the first steps towards the initiation of new subduction zones. This crucial step in plate tectonics nevertheless still raises many questions. The study of margins currently reactivated by compressional tectonics is thus essential to better understand this process. These margins are uncommon, located in different geodynamic settings, and the factors determining their evolution are poorly constrained. The Algerian margin, located in North Africa, is one of handful of modern examples worldwide. The evolution of this margin, rifted during the Miocene, in a back-arc setting, is part ofthe complex puzzle of the western Mediterranean. Since a few million years, the margin has suffered inversion and compression in the framework of slow on going convergence between the European and African plates. This convergence generates moderate to strong earthquakes in North Algeria. The relatively young age of the Algerian basin, the large sediment load, and the compressive forces, constitute favorable conditions to the formation of a future subduction zone. Studies from the past ten years indicate, that themain unresolved questions are related to (1) the deep structure of the Algerian basin and its southern margin (the type of margin, the nature of the basement, the dimension and nature of the ocean-continent transition, the style and the distribution of the compressional deformation), and (2) the history of the kinematic and geodynamic evolution of the basin. All of these unknowns have prevented a complete and thorough analysis of modalities of the Algerian margin inversion. This study focuses on the Central Algerian margin, in the area of Tipaza (West of Algiers), a key region to understand the mechanism of the opening of the Algerian basin. Processing and analysis of a deep wide-angle and multichannel seismic new data set acquired in the context of the French-Algerian project SPIRAL (Sismique profonde et Investigation Régionales en Algérie, 2009)have enabled us to determine the crustal structure of the Algerian basin and its southern continental margin,as well as the pseudo-3D structure of a specific feature in the study area: the submarine topographic highformed by the Khayr-al-Din bank. The analysis of the deep structure of the margin reveals features inherited from its complex evolution: (1) a crust of continental nature of more than 15 km thick at the upper margin(Khayr-al-Din Bank), (2) a thin crust of oceanic nature, 5-6 thick in the deep basin, including slightly high velocities at its base (7.2 km/s - 7.3 km/s), (3) similarities with margins formed in context of transform deformation, (4) a progressive deepening of the whole sedimentary cover and the thickening of the Plio-Quaternary sediments, from the distal deep basin towards the margin foot, coeval with (5) a long wavelengthflexuration of the basement in the basin. Results from this study provide new constraints on (1) the geometryand nature of the margin and the basin, (2) the evolution of the margin, suggesting a multiphased history including a stage of rifting and/or oceanic spreading, a transcurrent episode due to the westward migration of the Alboran block, and a diffuse Plio-Quaternary compressional reactivation distributed from the deep basinto the upper margin; (3) the mechanisms of the reactivation marked by newly formed south-dipping blind-thrusts, especially at the foot of the Khayr-al-Din bank, and suggesting a Plio-Quaternary uplift of the bankof 0.2 mm/y to 0.75 mm/y and the early stages of imbricate thrusting of crustal scales

Full textWe are interested in three non linear dispersive Hamiltonian equations: the defocusing cubic Schrödinger equation filtered by the Szegö projector on the torus that cancels every negative Fourier modes, leading to the cubic NLS--Szegö equation on the torus; the focusing quintic Schrödinger equation, which is filtered by the Szegö projector on the line, leading to the quintic NLS--Szegö equation on the line and the Benjamin--Ono (BO) equation on the line. Similarly to the other two models, the BO equation on the line can be written as a quadratic Schrödinger-type equation that is filtered by the Szegö projector on the line. These three models allow us to study their qualitative properties of some traveling waves, the phenomenon of the growth of Sobolev norms, the phenomenon of non linear scattering and some properties about the complete integrability of Hamiltonian dynamical systems. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the influence of the Szegö projector on some one-dimensional Schrödinger-type equations and to adapt the tools of the Hardy space on the torus and on the line. We also use the Birkhoff normal form transform, the concentration--compactness argument, refined as the profile decomposition theorem, and the inverse spectral transform in order to solve these problems. In the third model, the integrability theory allows to establish the connection with some algebraic and geometric aspects

Full textAdaptation and application of 3D gravity inversion with seismic constraint method to the study of the deep crustal structures of the Northwest Brazil passive margins. With a layer-stripping approach, the method has the capacity, robustness and coherency to study the geometry of the Moho discontinuity, or any other crustal layer, within the context of the passive margins environment. The obtained results have sufficient accuracy to distinguish transitions between different domains – continental domain, necking zones and oceanic domain. It is also capable to identify differences within the same domain when analyzing two parallel profiles, for example.Imaging of deep crustal structures with Reverse Time Migration method applied to two Wide-Angle Seismic data profiles, acquired by Ocean Bottom Seismometers and Land Seismic Stations. The method has capacity to image these type of structures in the two domains. The analysis of the two results is an important tool to investigate the shape and geometry of the necking zone even in profiles with asymmetric shooting. It is also shown the essential contribution of the refracted wavefield for its success.Merge of three sub-parallel Wide-Angle Seismic profiles in the Northwest area of Brazil into a unique profile of approximately 1800 km in length, providing an unique perspective on the evolution process of the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean. The merged profile showcases the similarities between the Equatorial and Central margins of the South Atlantic Ocean in spite of the different geodynamic processes and time of opening

Full textThis thesis has been conducted within the framework of the Algerian-French research cooperation program SPIRAL (Sismique Profonde et Investigations Régionales du Nord de l’Algérie). This project aims to study the deep structure of the Algerian margin. The area covered by this study focuses in the region of Jijel in eastern Algerian margin.The main objective of our thesis is to improve depth imaging of the Algerian margin using a combined approach of seismic techniques; wide-angle and multi- channel seismic data. The purpose of this thesis is to bring new knowledge to answer some questions about the nature of the crust, the area of continental -oceanic transition, the presence of Messinian salt, its distribution and relationship between surface sedimentary formations and crustal structures.This study presents the results of a deep seismic survey across the north Algerian margin, based on the combination of 2D multi-channel and wide-angle seismic data simultaneously recorded by 41 ocean bottom seismometers deployed along a North-South line extending 180 km off Jijel into the Algerian offshore basin, and 25 land stations deployed along a 100 km-long line, cutting through the Lesser Kabylia and the Tellian thrust-belt.In this study, our approach is a joint inversion of wide-angle seismic recordings (OBS, ocean bottom seismometers) and multi- channel seismic data (MCS). We conducted a series of first arrivals tomography, a joint inversion of reflected and refracted arrivals and gravity modelling. Since the solution of the inverse problem is not unique, two tomography programs were applied using the same data for the same study area; FAST (First Arrival Seismic Tomography) and Tomo2D. Tomography was followed by a joint inversion of reflected and refracted arrivals following an approach based on the combination of Kirchhoff prestack depth migration (PSDM) for MCS data and forward modelling of OBS. To check the consistency of the velocity model with gravity data, the free air anomaly was modeled.The final model obtained using forward modelling of the wide-angle data and pre-stack depth migration of the seismic reflection data provides an unprecedented view of the sedimentary and crustal structure of the margin. The sedimentary layers in the Algerian basin are 3.75 km thick to the north and up to 4.5 to 5 km thick at the foot of the margin. They are characterised by seismic velocities from 1.9 km/s to 3.8 km/s. Messinian salt formations are about 1 km thick in the study area, and are modelled and imaged using a velocity between 3.7 km/s to 3.8 km/s. The crust in the deep sea basin is about 4.5 km thick and of oceanic origin, presenting two distinct layers with a high gradient upper crust (4.7 km/s - 6.1 km) and a low gradient lower crust (6.2 km/s - 7.1 km/s). The upper mantle velocity is constrained to 7.9 km/s. The ocean-continent transition zone is very narrow between 15 km to 20 km wide. The continental crust reaches 25 km thickness as imaged from the most landward station and thins to 5 km over a less than 70 km distance. The continental crust presents steep and asymmetric upper and lower crustal geometry, possibly due to either asymmetric rifting of the margin, an underplated body, or flow of lower crustal material towards the ocean basin. Present-time deformation, as imaged from 3 additional seismic profiles, is characterized by an interplay of gravity-driven mobile-salt creep and active thrusting at the foot of the tectonically inverted Algerian margin

Full textQuark mixing is described in the standard model of particle physics with the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mecanism. The angle gamma of the unitarity triangle is one of the parameters of this mecanism that is still determined with a large uncertainty. It can be measured without significant contribution of new physics, making it a standard model key measurement. The current precision of the best direct measurement of gamma is approximately 10°, whereas the global fits of the CKM parameters determine this angle up to a few degrees. Therefore precise measurement of this quantity is needed to further constrain the Unitarity Triangle of the CKM matrix, and check the consistency of the theory. This thesis reports a measurement of gamma with a Dalitz analysis of the B0->DK*0 channel where the D meson decays into K0Spipi, based on the 3 fb⁻¹ of proton-proton collision data collected by LHCb during the LHC Run I, at the centre-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV. This channel is sensitive to gamma through the interference between the b->u and b->c transitions. The CP violation observables are measured to be x- = -0.09 ^{+0.13}_{-0.13} ± 0.09 ± 0.01 , x+ = -0.10 ^{+0.27}_{-0.26} ± 0.06 ± 0.01 , y- = 0.23 ^{+0.15}_{-0.16} ± 0.04 ± 0.01 , y+ = -0.74 ^{+0.23}_{-0.26} ± 0.07 ± 0.01 , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is the systematic uncertainty due to the Dalitz model. A frequentist interpretation of these observables leads to rB0 = 0.39±0.13 , deltaB0 = ( 186^{+24}_{-23} )°, gamma = ( 77^{+23}_{-24} )° , where rB0 is the magnitude of the ratio between the suppressed and favoured decays and deltaB0 the strong phase difference between these two decays. In addition, the work performed on the optimisation of the photon reconstruction for the upgraded LHCb detector is reported. During LHC Run III, the LHCb instantaneous luminosity will be increased by a factor five, implying a larger shower overlap in the electromagnetic calorimeter. The study shows that reducing the cluster size used in the photon reconstruction limits the effect of the overlap between the showers, without inducing a significant energy leakage. With some dedicated corrections, the new cluster reconstruction improves the Bs->Phi gamma mass resolution by 7 to 12%, depending on the calorimeter region

Full textWe are studying the sensitivity of Belle II with 50 ab-1 data to the βc angle of the c-u unitarity triangle, with a time-dependent measurement of the CP asymmetry in the D0 decays. We show that such a measurement is still statistically limited, with a total expected incertitude of 3°.This measurement relies on the reconstruction of soft momenta, impacted by the SuperKEKB induced background.Two PLUME ladders will be used to study this background, therefore a study on the performances of PLUME was performed. The spatial resolution is of 1.8 µm and 3.5 µm for 0° and 36° tilted tracks respectivelly.We also propose to improve the estimation of soft momenta using the energy depositions of charged particles in the silicon layers of the inner tracker. Our estimator improves by approximately 2 % the resolution on momentum for particles which do not penetrate the central tracking system
