1. 1. Misalignment effects on the physics performance of the inner tracker upgrade at the ALICE experiment

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

   Author : Jesper Karlsson Gumprecht; [2024]
   Keywords : ALICE; ITS; ITS2; ITS3; O2; O2Physics; Distortion; Misalignment; Alignment; Realignment; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the physics performance of an approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving a novel and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During the thesis work, a method was developed in simulations to induce distortions to the detector’s geometry, and the resulting loss in physics performance was evaluated. READ MORE

3. 2. Flow of charged particles in Pb-Pb and pp collisions at the LHC

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

   Author : Mohamed Berkat; [2024]
   Keywords : Quark Gluon Plasma; QGP; Quantum Chromodynamic; QCD; flow coefficients; Event Plane; Cumulants; ALICE; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the transition of Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) matter to a strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), where quarks and gluons become deconfined. The expansion of this plasma exhibits characteristics of an ideal relativistic hydrodynamics system, suggesting a behavior similar to that of a perfect fluid. READ MORE

4. 3. Glauber Monte Carlo for proton-proton and virtual-photon-proton collisions

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

   Author : Oscar Sepp; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In high energy physics, we want to probe the inner structures and behaviours of the particles that are the building blocks of our universe. This is often done by colliding nuclei together. READ MORE

5. 4. Exploring electroweak symmetry breaking in the scale-invariant Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

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

   Author : Erik Rustas; [2023]
   Keywords : Two-Higgs-Doublet Models; 2HDM; Scale-invariance; Baryogenesis; BSM; Baryon Asymmetry; Coleman-Weinberg Potential; Theoretical Particle Physics; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the properties of a general scale-invariant Two-Higgs-Doublet Model and its phenomenological consequences with focus on the scalar sector. The concept suggests that introducing more CP-violation, both spontaneous and explicit, may make it possible to meet the Sakharov conditions and account for the Universe's baryon asymmetry.

6. 5. Defining dark jets at the particle level

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

   Author : Gustav Lindberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Particle physics; Dark matter; QCD; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : One hypothesis that attempts to explain dark matter is dark QCD, which suggests that there would be a dark sector made up of dark quarks. Dark quarks would interact with each other through dark QCD similar to how Standard Model quarks interact with each other through Standard Model QCD. READ MORE
