  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Projections for charm balance functions in heavy-ion collisions

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

    Author : Tilde Bonnevier Wallstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Heavy-ion physics; quark-gluon plasma; QGP; balance function; charm quark; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, pp collisions were simulated using PYTHIA. D+ D- and D0 D0bar balance functions were created in order to contribute with a reference point for future balance functions measured in real data from Pb-Pb collisions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Electrons from heavy- flavor semileptonic decays in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC

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

    Author : Madeleine Petersson Sjögren; [2018]
    Keywords : LHC ALICE Heavy-ion physics particle physics heavy-flavor; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Heavy-flavor hadrons, containing charm and bottom quarks, serve as a tool available for the characterization of the hot and dense strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma state of matter, produced in heavy-ion collisions. As a benchmark for heavy-ion collision measurements, proton-proton collisions are also studied. READ MORE

  5. 4. Monte Carlo simulations of D-mesons with extended targets in the PANDA detector

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Mattias Gustafsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Monte Carlo simulations; PANDA; reconstruction D-meson; pellet target; cluster-jet target;

    Abstract : Within the PANDA experiment, proton anti-proton collisions will be studied in order to gain knowledge about the strong interaction. One interesting aspect is the production and decay of charmed hadrons. The charm quark is three orders of magnitude heavier than the light up- and down-quarks which constitue the matter we consist of. READ MORE

  6. 5. Flavour-changing neutral currents in top quark decays to Higgs bosons in a two-Higgs-doublet model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Leo Zethraeus; [2015]
    Keywords : 2HDM; Particle Physics; High Energy Physics; Higgs; two-Higgs-doublet model; FCNC; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis top quark decays to a charm quark and a (CP even) Higgs boson are investigated in a general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) allowing flavour-changing neutral currents. The theory behind 2HDMs is introduced and the specific choice of 2HDM is put to test under theoretical constraints that require the potential in the Lagrangian density of the model to satisfy vacuum stability, tree-level unitarity and perturbativity.
