The LHC timing signals are broadcast to various destinations in the subsequent experiments. And all of them could be delayed to time in the ATLAS sub-detectors by using the Corde board and the RF2TTC module. The ATLAS BPTX detectors and…
Measurements of electroweak production in the forward region at the LHC provide unique and complementary information to those performed in the central region. Studies have been performed not just by LHCb, a dedicated forward detector, but…
