The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) will be upgraded to further increase the instantaneous rate of particle collisions (luminosity) and become the High Luminosity LHC. This increase in luminosity, will yield many more detector hits (occupancy), and thus measurements will pose a challenge to track reconstruction algorithms being responsible to determine particle trajectories from those hits. This work explores the possibility of converting a novel Graph Neural Network model, that proven itself for the track reconstruction task, to a Hybrid Graph Neural Network in order to benefit the exponentially growing Hilbert Space. Several Parametrized Quantum Circuits (PQC) are tested and their performance against the classical approach is compared. We show that the hybrid model can perform similar to the classical approach. We also present a future road map to further increase the performance of the current hybrid model.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) will be upgraded to further increase the instantaneous rate of particle collisions (luminosity) and become the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). This increase in luminosity will significantly increase the number of particles interacting with the detector. The interaction of particles with a detector is referred to as "hit". The HL-LHC will yield many more detector hits, which will pose a combinatorial challenge by using rec...

Effects of radiation and their consequences for the performance of the forward calorimeters in the CMS experiment
Akchurin, N; et. al. (2002-01-01)
The experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will have to deal with unprecedented radiation levels. In the large-rapidity regions, close to the beam pipe, these levels reach megagrays per year. The detectors to be installed in these regions, the HF Calorimeters, are designed to operate under these conditions, In this paper, we describe the results of studies in which a prototype calorimeter was exposed to radiation of the type and intensity expected at the LHC. These studies made it possible to estima...
Study of beam-halo events in photon production in the CMS experiment
Yıldırım, Eda; Güler, Ali Murat; Department of Physics (2011)
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment operates at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is the highest energy particle accelerator in the world. CMS is a general purpose detector designed to investigate a wide range of physics, including the search for the Higgs boson. The measurement of photon production in the CMS experiment is crucial since it represents an irreducible background for many new physics searches, such as decay of Higgs to two photon, supersymmetry and extra-dimensions. The study of bea...
Measurement of Higgs boson production and properties in the WW decay channel with leptonic final states
Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-01-01)
A search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a W-boson pair at the LHC is reported. The event sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb(-1) and 19.4 fb(-1) collected with the CMS detector in pp collisions at = 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. The Higgs boson candidates are selected in events with two or three charged leptons. An excess of events above background is observed, consistent with the expectation from the standard model Higgs boson with a mass of around 125 GeV. The probability...
