1. 1. Defining dark jets at the particle level

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Gustav Lindberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Particle physics; Dark matter; QCD; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : One hypothesis that attempts to explain dark matter is dark QCD, which suggests that there would be a dark sector made up of dark quarks. Dark quarks would interact with each other through dark QCD similar to how Standard Model quarks interact with each other through Standard Model QCD. READ MORE

3. 2. Probing Charm Production with Three-Particle Correlations in pp Collisions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Kim Haupt; [2023]
   Keywords : pp collisions; charm production; three-particle correlation; Pythia; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. READ MORE

4. 3. Non-perturbative models of diffractive hadronic collisions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

   Author : Edgars Karnickis; [2022]
   Keywords : diffractive process; proton-proton collision; elastic; parton; PDF; saturation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this thesis, a new model for diffractive proton-proton collisions is presented. Interpreting protons as systems of many partons, we treat diffraction in terms of elastic interactions between the partons of the colliding protons. READ MORE

5. 4. Complementarity of high energy and high intensity experiments for dark photon benchmarks

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Joshua Greaves; [2022]
   Keywords : Dark matter; LDMX; Dark photon; Complementarity; Snowmass; Relic density; Thermal relic; Relic abundance; Cross section; Constraints; Limits; Minimal models; Energy frontier; Intensity frontier; Madgraph; Madanalysis; Vector mediated; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Physical phenomena that are unexplained by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, are the subject of the area of research known as physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). BSM physics contains many Dark Matter (DM) theories which have emerged; from particles such as axions, neutrinos, and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), to primordial black holes and others.

6. 5. Geometry studies of high energy 16O collisions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

   Author : Aliaksei Kuzmenka; [2022]
   Keywords : Ion Collisions; Oxygen; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this project a model of oxygen, 16O, nuclei, where the nucleons are organised in α-clusters, was implemented in the Pythia Monte Carlo event generator. To study the effects of the new model, some observables, such as the distribution of the number of the wounded nucleons, charged particle multiplicity in the forward and central pseudorapidity region, and the pseudorapidity distribution for different centrality bins and eccentricity, are compared to the model originally implemented in Pythia (Woods-Saxon).
