Description
LUCID has been and currently is the reference ATLAS detector for measuring luminosity. The current detector will not be suitable for HL-LHC due to the increased pile-up and radiation levels. An upgrade of the LUCID detector is currently being defined, using the data collected during LHC Run-3 by several prototypes based on different technologies: photomultipliers, optical fibers and LGAD sensors. A decision on the final setup, possibly using a balance of different and complementary technologies, must be made and the detector and its readout electronics be built by the end 2029.In addition, the project includes the analysis of ATLAS data in the search for heavy neutrinos within Left-Right Symmetric Models. The goal is to advance the analysis to the publication stage, including the determination of limits and a thorough evaluation of the relevant systematic uncertainties.
