  1. 41. Characterisation of Models of New Physics at the LHC

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Jakub Salko; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis is the development and application of model-independent analysis techniques to characterise New Physics states of different kinds from their signatures at the LHC and future colliders. In the first part of the thesis, we outline the general steps from the building of the simplified model and identification of the parameter space to the characterisation potential of the current searches with the focus on the characterisation between different scenarios of Beyond the Standard Model physics.

  2. 42. Using Graph Neural Networks for Track Classification and Time Determination of Primary Vertices in the ATLAS Experiment

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Mattias Gullstrand; Stefan Maraš; [2020]
    Keywords : Time determination; graph neural network; graph attentional network; HGTD; vertex; node classification; particle physics; machine learning; Tidsbestämning; neurala grafnätverk; uppvaktande grafnätverk; HGTD; vertex; nodklassificering; partikelfysik; statistisk inlärning;

    Abstract : Starting in 2027, the high-luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will begin operation and allow higher-precision measurements and searches for new physics processes between elementary particles. One central problem that arises in the ATLAS detector when reconstructing event information is to separate the rare and interesting hard scatter (HS) interactions from uninteresting pileup (PU) interactions in a spatially compact environment.

  3. 43. Investigating RT using two-particle angular correlations in proton-proton collisions

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

    Author : Dilan Chroscik; [2020]
    Keywords : particle physics; proton-proton collisions; two-particle angular correlations; underlying event; relative transverse activity; ALICE; LHC; collective flow; long range correlations; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The observable, RT , is investigated using two-dimensional (∆η, ∆φ) angular correlations, where ∆η and ∆φ are the differences in pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle respectively, between the trigger and associated tracks. The analysed data consists of reconstructed tracks, from proton-proton collisions at collision energy ps = 13 TeV, taken from the ALICE detector at the LHC. READ MORE

  4. 44. DEVELOPMENT OF RISK INFORMED METHODS FOR ESTIMATING RADIATION RELEASE FROM CABLE FIRES AT HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS FACILITIES

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Daniel Funk; [2020]
    Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; CERN; Fire-induced Radiological release; particle accelerator; Fire Protection; Fire Risk Analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : CERN operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC was built to advance the state of knowledge in particle physics by increasing the energy of colliding particles to the TeV range. READ MORE

  5. 45. Deep Autoencoders for Compression in High Energy Physics

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

    Author : Eric Wulff; [2020]
    Keywords : ATLAS; hadron jet; machine learning; autoencoder; dimensionality reduction; artificial intelligence; high energy physics; data compression; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Current technological limitations make it impossible to store the enormous amount of data produced from proton-proton collisions by the ATLAS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Therefore, specialised hardware and software is being used to decide what data, or which proton-proton \textit{collision events}, to save and which to discard. READ MORE
