  1. 1. Signatures of Dark Matter at the LHC : A phenomenological study combining collider and cosmological bounds to constrain a vector dark matter particle model

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Anton Olsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Dark matter; particle phenomenology; LHC; MadGraph; standard model; beyond standard model;

    Abstract : Everything that humans have ever touched, created or built something from consists of a type of matter that only makes up 15 percent of the total matter in the universe. The remaining 85 percent is attributed to dark matter, a so far not discovered and non-luminous type of matter. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. Constraining the age of HD 140283

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Edison Arellano Almeida; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : HD 140283, also known as the Methuselah star, is an old, metal-poor star on the subgiant branch.It has been the subject of many studies due to its relatively large apparent brightness, and due to itbeing one of the oldest stars known. READ MORE

  5. 4. Analyzing the dust of the Nearby Universe

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

    Author : Jimmy Kjellqvist; [2021]
    Keywords : Intergalactic dust; cosmology; cosmological measurements; quasars; Intergalaktiskt stoft; kosmologi; kosmologiska mätningar; kvasarer;

    Abstract : The aim of this master thesis is to investigate the influence of intergalactic duston astronomical observations. The current cosmological paradigm of an acceleratingcosmic expansion is supported by observations of Type Ia supernovae. READ MORE

  6. 5. High-Redshift Gamma-ray Bursts as seen by SVOM/ECLAIRs

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Miguel Llamas Lanza; [2021]
    Keywords : Gamma-ray Bursts; GRBs; compact objects; high energy; ECLAIRs; SVOM; high redshift; T90; detection biases;

    Abstract : Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) are very bright cosmological explosions signalling the catastrophic formation of a black hole. Therefore, they act like real light beacons that could be detected through-out the Universe and be used as probes to study the contents and phases of the early Universe. However, only a handful sample is known so far. READ MORE
