Salvano-Pardieu, Véronique. "Etudes des mécanismes intervenant dans la formation des figures illusoires à un niveau précoce de traitement." Paris 5, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA05H063.
Full textIn these experiments we wanted to understand the mechanisms which are involved in the formation of illusory figures. The research realized in psychophysic shows that two different characteristics are present in the illusory figures such as in the ehrenstein figure. These two characteristics are : brightness effect and contour information. Moreover, figures generated by aligned and closed dashes or dots, show a brightness and contour illusion as well. For this reason, we assume the existence of a mechanism able to integrate together the aligned dots or dashes, with psychophysic methods, we determined the characteristics of these mechanisms and the spatial limits beyond which these mechanisms will be no more activated and the illusion will be no more perceived. We assume that the first mechanism called "collinearity operator" could integrate in a line collinear dots or dashes. After this integration a second operator (brightness operator) would be able to generate brightness illusion of the surface by integration of the simultaneous contrast present at the end of each line. Finally, a third operator called "dipole" would allow to generate the illusory contour by linking the end of the lines side by side. The results obtained with the six experiments of this thesis are consistent with these hypotheses, and show that the mechanisms involved in the formation of illusory figures are present at a low treatment level. Indeed, the characteristics of the illusory figures depend of the neuronal structure and of the physiologic characteristics of these mechanisms. Thus, the explanation at a high treatment level is not necessary to explain the formation of the illusory figures

Full textThe main objective of the work presented in this thesis is the design of a quadrupole magnet based on Nb-Ti. It aims at replacing the current insertion quadrupoles used in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN by 2014. This new quadrupole features an unprecedented large aperture (120 mm) and opens the way toward large aperture quadrupoles. First, to rapidly estimate the magnetic energy stored in a cos2?-type quadrupole, an analytical formula based on the Fourier transform of the current is developed. It allows estimating the energy with a precision of 10 %. Secondly, the magnetic design of the quadrupole coil cross-section is realized using a novel optimization method based on analytical equations of the magnetic field. Subsequently, for the first time, an estimate of the reproducibility in the coil-blocks positioning in Nb3Sn magnets is given. The estimate has been obtained by using an existing method and from tow recently built Nb3Sn magnet series. A comparison with values obtained for Nb-Ti magnets is also presented. Following this, an analytical method based on statistics is developed. It makes possible to explain some phenomenon observed on the dispersion of the magnetic measurement in a quadrupole series. Finally, we show that the uncertainty in the mean of the magnetic field errors is for most of the harmonics related to statistical errors due to the limited number of magnets in the series, and not because of systematic defects in the coil

Full textGamma-ray bursts (GRB) are extreme events. They are crudely classified into two groups based on their duration, namely the short and long bursts. Such a classification has proven to be useful to determine their progenitors: the merger of two compact objects for short bursts and the explosion of a massive star for long bursts. Further classifying the long GRBs might give tighter constraints on their progenitor and on the emission mechanism(s). In my thesis, I present evidence for the existence of a sub-class of long GRBs, based on their faint afterglow emission. These bursts were named low-luminosity afterglow (LLA) GRBs. I discuss the data analysis and the selection method, and their main properties are described. Their link to supernova is strong as 64\% of all the bursts firmly associated to SNe is LLA GRBs. Finally, I present additional properties of LLA GRBs: the study of their rate density, which seems to indicate a new distinct third class of events, the properties of their host galaxies, which show that they take place in young star-forming galaxies. Additionally, I show that it is difficult to reconcile all differences between normal long GRBs and LLA GRBs only by considering instrumental or environmental effects, different ejecta content or a different geometry for the burst. Thus, I conclude that LLA GRBs and normal long GRBs should have different properties. In a very rudimentary discussion, I indicate that a binary system is favored in the case of LLA GRB. The argument is based on the initial mass function of massive stars, on the larger rate density of LLA GRBs compared to the rate of normal long GRBs and on the type of accompanying SNe

Full textThe main goals of the ATLAS scientific programme are the observation or exclusion of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM), as well as the measurement of production cross-sections of SM processes. As the rate of events N of a given physics process is linked to the cross-section through the luminosity, it is important to measure the luminosity with great precision. The ATLAS experiment has two major luminosity monitors, LUCID (Luminosity measurement Using Cerenkov Integrating Detector), which consists of Cerenkov tubes located around the beam axis 17m away from the interaction point, and BCM (Beam Condition Monitor) which is a diamond-based detector and has both beam-abort and luminosity capabilities. As these detectors provide a relative luminosity measurement, they were absolutely calibrated in 2010 using the van der Meer procedure, achieving a total systematic uncertainty of 3.4%. The ultimate plan is to provide an absolute calibration using the ALFA detector during a run with special beam optics. In order to provide more cross-checks and a better control on the systematic uncertainties, other luminosity handles are always needed. In particular, an independent measurement using the liquid argon forward calorimeter (FCal), based on the readout current of its high-voltage system, has been developed. This document presents the commissioning and operations of the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter high-voltage system, as well as its usage to perform a luminosity determination. Analysis of the high-voltage currents during LHC collisions and comparisons with other luminosity detectors have led to a calibration of these currents with a precision better than 0.5%

Full textA major upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scheduled for 2024 will be brought to the machine so as to extend its discovery potential. This PhD is part of the ATLAS program and aims at studying a new monolithic technology in the framework of the design of an upgraded ATLAS inner tracker. This new type of sensor is based on a HV/HR CMOS technology, which would potentially offer lower material budget, reduced pixel pitch and lower cost with respect to the traditional hybrid pixel detector concept.Various prototypes have been developed using different HV/HR CMOS technologies from several industrial partners, within the ATLAS HV/HR collaboration, for instance Global Foundry (GF) BCDlite 130 nm and LFoundry (LF) 150 nm. In order to understand the electric behavior and the detection capabilities of these technologies, 3D and 2D Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) simulations have been performed to extract the depletion zone profile, the breakdown voltage, the leakage current, the capacitance as well as the charge collection of the prototypes. Test setup developments and characterizations of the HV/HR CMOS prototypes were also part of this thesis. The data acquisition programs, in particular dedicated to the proton test beams, X-ray sources and threshold tuning, have been implemented into various test setups. Several HV/HR CMOS prototypes developed in three HV/HR technologies, AMS 0.18 µm HV, GF BCDlite 130 nm and LF 150 nm, have been characterized

Full textSuperKEKB is a very high luminosity collider dedicated to the Belle II experiment, it consists of a Low Energy Ring (LER) of 4 GeV positrons and a High Energy Ring (HER) of 7 GeV electrons. The commissioning of this machine is split into three phases: phase 1 (single-beam phase) is dedicated to vacuum scrubbing, where beams circulate without focusing at the collision point. Phase 2, for which the major part of the Belle II detector will be installed, will enable the tuning of the final focus system to achieve a luminosity of 10³⁴ cm⁻² s⁻¹. During phase 3, Belle II physics runs will start with an aimed luminosity up to 8×10³⁵ cm⁻² s⁻¹. In this context, the aim of my thesis is to develop and install a fast luminosity monitoring system, which is required for online correction of beam instabilities and maintenance of optimal luminosity. To reach the aimed relative precision of 10⁻³ in 1 ms, the measurement will be based on the radiative Bhabha process at zero photon scattering angle, whose cross-section is large and well-known. These particles will be detected using diamond sensors, resistant to radiation and enabling very fast signal acquisition, to be placed outside of the beam-pipe and downstream of the interaction point. The first part of this work is dedicated to the investigation of the best locations for the diamond sensor positioning in both rings. Using detailed simulations, we studied the dynamics of Bhabha particles during their tracking in the rings and their interaction with the beam pipe material. This led to the identification of two positions, at 11.9 m in LER and at 30 m in HER, and to considering a new geometry for the vacuum pipe in the LER. The second part is related to the phase 1 of the SuperKEKB commissioning and concerns the measurements performed with the diamond sensors that were installed. Single beam loss processes (Bremsstrahlung, Touschek, beam-gas Coulomb scattering) were studied in detail with respect to the LER beam and ring parameters (current, pressure, transverse beam sizes). The results of this study were then compared to the data collected from February to June 2016. We found good qualitative and quantitative agreement between our simulations and measurements. From this we could estimate that the level of background to be expected during luminosity monitoring will be two orders of magnitude smaller than the rate of the radiative Bhabha scattering signal
White, Simon. "Determination of the absolute luminosity at the LHC." Paris 11, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA112145.
Full textFor particle colliders, the most important performance parameters are the beam energy and the luminosity. High energies allow the particle physics experiments to study and observe new effects. The luminosity describes the ability of the collider to produce the required number of useful interactions or events. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was designed to produce proton proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 14 TeV. This energy is the highest ever reached in a particle accelerator. The knowledge and understanding of particIe physics at such high energy is based on simulations and theoretical predictions. As opposed to electron positron colliders, for which the Bhabba scattering cross section can be accurately calculated and used for luminosity calibration, there are no processes with well known cross section and sufficiently high production rate to be directly used for the purpose of luminosity calibration in the early operation of the LHC. The luminosity can also be expressed as a function of the numbers of charges per beam and the beam sizes at the interaction point. Using this relation the absolute luminosity can be determined from machine parameters. The determination of the absolute luminosity from machine parameters is an alternative to the cross section based calibration and provides complementary information to the fragmentation model. Ln the LHC, it was proposed to use the method developed by S. Van Der Meer at the ISR to provide a luminosity calibration based on machine parameters to the physics experiments during the first year of operation. This thesis presents how this method was implemented and performed for the first time in the LHC to optimize and calibrate the luminosity. Additional beam dynamics and optics studies and measurements performed at the RHIC collider will also be presented

Full textMalaria in the Amazon region finds favorable conditions for the transmission of the disease by the mosquito vector Anopheles darlingi, which breeds in water. This mosquito is known for its great adaptability to environmental conditions. In the Amazon it is deemed to be especially found near rivers of white water (loaded with sediments). The relationship between the presence of the mosquito and water color has been little studied regionally. This study used 11 years of MODIS 250 m resolution and a monthly time base, which enable extracting a reflectance index of water. Secondly, this thesis uses the epidemiological data of the Brazilian system of epidemiological surveillance of malaria. The main objective is to evaluate the correlation between the seasonal dynamics of the reflectance of water and parasite incidence of malaria on different areas of the State of Amazonas in particular to understand the influence of water color on the presence of the vector and therefore the transmission of malaria. The results obtained show that notifications of malaria in the state of Amazonas are indeed correlated with white water, but the black water also have a correlation with the incidence of malaria, a substantially different way, since in the former case, the correlation is related to the flood, while in the case of black water, the presence of Anopheles and the flood are disconnected. These results may be useful in improving our understanding of epidemiological risks in the region and the establishment of more effective compliance program, even if the factor of interest, ie the color of the water is one factor among many others that affect the risk of malaria infection

Full textThe work presented in this thesis focuses on the estimation of the optical flow through variational methods in small and large displacements. We propose a model based on the combined local-global strategy to which we add the consideration of brightness intensity variations. The particularity of this manuscript is the use of the finite element method to solve the equations. Indeed, for now, this method is really rare in the field of the optical flow. Thanks to this choice of resolution, we implement an adaptive control of the regularization and a mesh adaptation to refine the solution on the edges of the image. To reduce computation times, we parallelize the programs. The first method implemented is a parallel in time method called parareal. By combining a coarse and a fine solver, this algorithm speeds up the computations. To save even more time and to also be able to handle high resolution sequences, we then use a domain decomposition method. Combined with the massively parallel solver MUMPS, this method allows a significant reduction of computation times. Finally, we propose to couple the domain decomposition method and the parareal to have the benefits of both methods. In the second part, we apply all these models to the case of the optical flow estimation in large displacements. We use the parareal method to cope with the non-linearity of the problem. We end by a concrete example of application of the optical flow in film restoration

Full textThe future machines considered to carry out high precision physics in the TeV energy regime are electron-positron (e+e−) linear colliders. Future linear colliders feature nanometer beam spot sizes at the Interaction Point. The Beam Delivery System (BDS) transports the e + and e− beams from the exit of the linacs to the IP by performing the critical functions required to meet the CLIC luminosity goal such as beam collimation and focusing. The beam is focused through the Final Focus System while correcting higher order transport aberrations in order to deliver the design IP beam sizes. The chromatic contributions are amplified by the focusing strength of the two last quadrupoles named QD0 and QF1, reffered to as the Final Doublet (FD), and by the length of the final focal distance L* between QD0 and the IP. The chromaticity correction approach chosen for the CLIC FFS is based on the Local chromaticity correction scheme which uses interleaved pairs of sextupole magnets in the FD region in order to locally and simultaneously correct horizontal and vertical chromaticity. The current linear collider projects, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) and the International Linear Collider (ILC) have FFS lattices based on the Local Chromaticity correction scheme. This scheme is being tested in the Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2) at KEK (Japan). This thesis concentrates on problems related to the optimization of BDS lattices for the simplification of the CLIC Machine Detector Interface (MDI) and on the experimental work for the implementation and study of a CLIClike FFS optics for the ATF2, referred to as ultra-low β* optics

Full textThe purpose is to reveal that the way the light occurs in the "Vita Nuova" is related to the Beatrice's coloured appearances to Dante, is to demonstrate that the colours are not chosen randomly and that the problems of the colours are integrated within the rich and complex framework of the manifestation of light. The concept of light enables us to understand the continuity from "Vita Nuova" to the "Divine Comedy", to seize the philosophy of light materialised by its coloured and bright demonstrations. Dante, with the introduction of the concept of lightning in the "Paradise", shows that the light moves instantaneously from the sky to the centre, as well as propagating itself in a spherical way, diffusing itself immediately in all directions. The question of medieval light reveals a parallel between the physical light and the metaphysical light as an expression of divinity. Any work about light has a symbolic depth, and this investigation demonstrates that Dante belongs to the group of authors who were able to solve the metaphysical matter from an analogy with the sensitive light

Full textThe main purpose of this THESIS is to identify and study the population of high redshift galaxies in the redshift range (4.5 < z < 6.5). I use the near infrared data from the UltraVista survey conducted with the Vista telescope in combination with multi-wavelength data available in the COSMOS field and use The VIMOS Ultra Deep spectroscopic redshift survey (VUDS) as a control sample for the selection of high redshift candidates. I made a analysis leads me to select galaxies at z ≥ 4.5 using photometric redshifts computed from the full spectral energy distribution (SED) combined with well tuned magnitude limits based on the depth of the data in each band. At the end of this process I produce a unique catalogue of 2036 galaxies with 4.5 ≤ z ≤ 5.5 and 330 galaxies with 5.5 ≤ z ≤ 6.5, the largest and most complete catalogue of sources at these redshifts existing today. I find that the LF at z ∼ 5 is well fit by a Schechter function. At z ∼ 6 I find that the bright end might be more populated than expected from a Schechter function, in line with results from other authors, an indication that the mass assembly processes have evolved quickly in a short 0.5-1 Gyr timescale. Finally I integrate the luminosity functions to compute the luminosity density and derive the star formation rate density (SFRD) in 4.5 ≤ z ≤ 6.5. My results show a high SFRD comparable to the latest results derived from the HST data, with an improved accuracy linked to the better constraints at the bright end of the LF

Full textIn this thesis, we present the experimental tuning procedures developed for the Arcs and for the Final Focus Section of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC). Such tuning is necessary to maximize the luminosity, by minimizing the beam size at the interaction point, and to reduce backgrounds in the experiment. In the Final Focus Section, the correction strategy must result from the principles of the optical design, which is based on cancellations between second order aberrations, and on the ability to measure micron-size beams typical of the SLC. In the Arcs, the corrections were designed after the initial commissionning, to make the system more error-tolerant, through a modification in the optical design, and to enable adjustments of the beam phase-space at the injection to the Final Focus System, through a harmonic pertubation technique inspired from circular accelerators. Although the overall optimization of the SLC is not entirely finished, an almost optimal set up has been achieved for the optics of the Arcs and of the final focus section. Beams with tranverse sizes close to the nominal ones, of a few microns, have been obtained at the interaction point. We present and discuss our results and the optical limits to the present performance

Full textThe discovery of a scalar boson, known as the Higgs boson, marked the first LHC data period (2010-2012). Using mainly di-photon and di-Z decays, with the latest leading to a four leptons final state, the mass of the boson was measured with a precision of <0.2%. Relevant couplings were estimated by combining several final states, while corresponding uncertainties would largely benefit from the increased statistics expected during the next LHC data periods (Run 2, Phase 2).The H→ZZ*→4l channel, in spite of its suppressed brunching ratio, benefits from a weak background, making it a prime choice for the investigation of the new boson’s properties. In this thesis, the analysis aimed to the observation of this mode with the ALTAS detector is presented, with a focus on the measurement and control of the reducible electron background.In the context of preparation for future high luminosity data periods, foreseen from 2025 onwards, two distinct studies are conducted:The first concerns the observability potential of the Higgs associated production mode in conjunction with two b-quarks. A multivariate analysis based on simulated data confirms a very weak expected signal in the H→di-photon channel.The second revolves around the conception and development of an inner silicon detector capable of operating in the hostile environment of high radiation and increased occupancy, expected during LHC Phase 2. Main studies were concentrated on improving radiation hardness, geometrical and detection efficiency. Through fabrication process simulation and SiMS measurements, doping profiles and electrical characteristics, expected for innovative technologies, are explored. Prototypes were designed and evaluated in test beams and irradiation experiments in order to asses their performances and that of associated read-out electronics
