  1. 11. Constraining the Higgs width in Higgs production associated with a top quark pair

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Benjamin Dahlén; [2023]
    Keywords : Higgs; width; cross section; on-shell; off-shell; invariant mass; Standard model; upper bound; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis we study the width of the Higgs boson in the process pp → t ̄t 4l at LO using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO to generate the events. The contributions including the Higgs signal, continuum background and interference were considered in order to calculate the expected number of events in a broad range of four-lepton invariant masses.

    Keywords : uranium nitride nuclear fuel; advanced nuclear fuel; uranium nitride fabrication; uranium nitride characterisation; Spark Plasma Sintering; proton irradiation; irradiation damage; TANDEM accelerator; irradiation induced cracking; irradiation induced hardening; irradiation induced swelling; hydrogen implantation; dislocation loops; kärnbränsle av urannitrid; avancerat kärnbränsle; tillverkning av urannitrid; karakterisering av urannitrid; Spark Plasma Sintering; protonbestrålning; strålningsskador; TANDEM-accelerator; strålningsinducerad sprickbildning; strålningsinducerad härdning; strålningsinducerad svällning; väteimplantation; dislokationsloopar;

    Abstract : The effect of proton (H+) irradiation on uranium mononitride (UN) and UN compositefuel with 10 at.% ZrN (UN10at%ZrN) was examined. Protons of 2 MeV with fluences of1E17, 1E18, 1E19 and 1E20 ions/cm2 were accelerated towards the fabricated samples in orderto investigate the evolution of the micro-structure. READ MORE

  4. 13. Dark Matter signals at the Large Hadron Collider with Deep Learning

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Max Andersson; Edward Glöckner; Carl Löfkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Dark Matter; Classification; Regression; Particle Physics; Supersymmetry; LHC; CERN;

    Abstract : While holding a firm position in popular culture and science fiction, Dark Matter (DM) is nonetheless a highly relevant topic at the forefront of modern particle physics. We study the applicability of characterizing DM particle candidates SUSY neutralino and sneutrino using Deep Learning (DL) methods. READ MORE

  5. 14. The Higgs Width in Higgs production in association with a W+ boson

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Wijeratne Mohandiramge Umashi Navisha Fernando; [2023]
    Keywords : Higgs boson; Higgs width; off-shell; on-shell; narrow-width approximation; MadGraph5_MC@NLO; W boson; supersymmetry; dark matter; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The width of the Higgs boson is a quantity that cannot be measured directly from the on-shell Higgs peak; it would have to be measured indirectly. In 2013, Caola and Melnikov developed a method to determine the Higgs width by using off-shell and on-shell cross-sections and applying the narrow-width approximation. READ MORE

  6. 15. Expansions of neutrino oscillation and decay probabilities in matter

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Jesper Grönroos; [2023]
    Keywords : Theoretical physics; Particle physics; Neutrino physics; Neutrino oscillations; Series expansions; Physics beyond the Standard Model; Teoretisk fysik; Partikelfysik; Neutrinofysik; Neutrinooscillationer; Serieutvecklingar; Fysik bortom Standardmodellen;

    Abstract : We consider a simple model for invisible neutrino decay as a sub-leading effect in the standard three-flavor neutrino oscillation framework, and use the Cayley–Hamilton formalism to obtain a full set of neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter. These are given as analytical series expansions in the small parameters α ∼ O(λ^2) and s_13 ∼ O(λ), where λ ≡ 0. READ MORE
