Measurement of the inelastic pp cross-sections using the LHCb experiment and development of a new vertex detector

In this thesis, measurements of the inelastic cross-sections of proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of \sqrt{s} = 5 TeV and \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV with the LHCb detector are presented. The cross-section measurements are performed using pp collisions with at least one prompt long-lived cha...

The cross-section measurements are performed using pp collisions with at least one prompt long-lived charged particle in the pseudorapidity range 2 < \eta < 5 and momentum p > 2 GeV/c.

The Single Event Upset robustness of the Medipix3 chip, an ancestor of the VeloPix, is studied in order to evaluated the radiation hardness of the VeloPix.
