abstract

The performance of the ATLAS Inner Detector alignment has been studied using $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment during Run 2 (2015 to 2018) of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The goal of the detector alignment is to determine the detector geometry as accurately as possible and correct for time-dependent movements. The Inner Detector alignment is based on the minimization of track-hit residuals in a sequence of hierarchical levels, from global mechanical assembly structures to local sensors. Subsequent levels have increasing numbers of degrees of freedom; in total there are almost 750000. The alignment determines detector geometry on both short and long timescales, where short timescales describe movements within an LHC fill. The performance and possible track parameter biases originating from systematic detector deformations are evaluated. Momentum biases are studied using resonances decaying to muons or to electrons. The residual sagitta bias and momentum scale bias after alignment are reduced to less than $\sim$0.1 TeV$^{-1}$ and 0.9$\times10^{-3}$, respectively. Impact parameter biases are also evaluated using tracks within jets.

  1. Search for heavy neutral leptons in decays of W bosons produced in 13 TeV pp collisions using prompt signatures in the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2025-08 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    The ATLAS search finds no evidence of heavy neutral leptons in W boson decays and sets the strongest limits to date on their mixing with electron and muon neutrinos in the 15-30 GeV mass range.
