1. 1. Analysis of Atmospheric Muon Bundles with IceCube

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Anna Selina Neyer; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This work is a preliminary study of the background of a search for dark, long-lived particles in the IceCube detector. The high flux of atmospheric muons in IceCube is considered background to the detector's primary science goal, which is to detect astrophysical neutrinos through the emission of Cherenkov radiation.

3. 2. Determining backgrounds with misidentified leptons in the ATLAS Higgs boson analysis

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Leo Qiyuan Hu; [2023]
   Keywords : Particle Physics; ATLAS detector; Fake Factor method; Higgs boson; lepton misreconstruction; misidentified events; Partikelfysik; ATLAS detektorn; Fake Factor-metoden; Higgs boson; lepton felrekonstruktion; felidentifierade händelser;

   Abstract : This thesis presents an analysis of misidentified leptons in the Higgs boson decaychannel H → W W ∗ → lνlν. Misidentified leptons, resulting from jets misidentifiedas leptons, mimic the signal of a Higgs boson decay, resulting in a backgroundcontribution to the signal. READ MORE

4. 3. Low-dimensional Magnetism in Novel 2D Honeycomb Materials

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Author : Sebastian Johnsen; [2021]
   Keywords : Applied physics; Materials physics; Quantum materials; Magnetism; Muons; Neutrons; Tillämpad fysik; Materialfysik; Kvantmaterial; Magnetism; Myoner; Neutroner;

   Abstract : A Kitaev quantum spin liquid is a phase of matter predicted to host excitations that can be used to preform fault-tolerant quantum computation. Though the theoretical prediction of such a state is on firm footing, its realisation in real materials has proven to be elusive. READ MORE

5. 4. Measuring the vertical muon intensity with the ALTO prototype at Linnaeus University

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

   Author : Magnus Norén; [2021]
   Keywords : Muon Intensity; ALTO; CoMET; Cosmic Rays; VHE Gamma Rays; Extensive Air Shower; Water Cherenkov Detector; Scintillation Detector; Monte Carlo Simulation; GEANT4;

   Abstract : ALTO is a project, currently in the research and development phase, with the goal of constructing a Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray observatory in the southern hemisphere. It will detect the particle content reaching the ground from the interactions of either VHE gamma rays or cosmic rays in the atmosphere known as extensive air showers. READ MORE

6. 5. Study of pattern recognition of particle tracks with neural networks

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Mário Cardoso; [2021]
   Keywords : particle physics; neural networks;

   Abstract : In this project we study the use of neural networks as a tool for particle track pattern recognition with the possibility of its implementation in the Trigger system at the ATLAS experiment [1]. By using a method named Hough transform we created a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that is able to train on the transformed images of muons merged with minimum bias. READ MORE
