  1. 1. Corporate Bond Inventories and Liquidity Risk Pricing

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Omar Aboumaria; Alexander Ekman; [2022]
    Keywords : Liquidity risk; Corporate bond; Inventory cycles; Dealer Inventory;

    Abstract : This paper studies the pricing of liquidity risk in the cross section of corporate bonds for the period of October 2004 to December 2020 following the method presented by Lin et al. (2011). Furthermore, it examines the relationship between liquidity pricing and inventory cycles. READ MORE

  3. 2. Finite-dimensional PT-symmetric Hamiltonians with an application to neutrino oscillations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Alexander Fagerlund; Chistopher Ekman; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this report, we first briefly summarize Hermitian quantum mechanics before moving on to the non-Hermitian case. We then review PT-symmetric quantum mechanics with a focus on finite-dimensional systems, and include a novel generalization of a perturbative calculation of the C-operator. READ MORE

  4. 3. Derivation of Improved K^0_L Response Uncertainty for use in the Jet Energy Scale Calibration at ATLAS

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

    Author : Alexander Ekman; [2019]
    Keywords : kaon; neutral kaon; K^0_L; K_Long; klong; single-particle response; response; detector response; calorimeter; ATLAS; CERN; jets; trigger level analysis; TLA; physics list; Monte Carlo; MC; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) attempts to describe the fundamental particles and how they interact with each other. This model is however incomplete, as shown by various experimental observations. ATLAS is one of the experiments currently in operation at the Large Hadron Collider, which aims to search for new physics beyond the SM. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development, Testing and Future Outlook of a Penalized Spline as a Representation of the Standard Model Background in Dijet Searches

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

    Author : Alexander Ekman; [2017]
    Keywords : spline; p-spline; SPLINTER; b-spline; penalized spline; standard model; standard model background; SM; SMB; dijet; ATLAS; dark matter; MadGraph; python; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to develop, test and evaluate a penalized basis spline as a method for representing the Standard Model background in dijet searches from proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Current representations of the Standard Model background are complex and dependent on current assumptions of the Standard Model. READ MORE
