  1. 16. A literature review of FASERν - An emulsion detector for collider neutrinos

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

    Author : Lisa Andersson Loman; [2021]
    Keywords : physics; neutrinos; FASER; Standard Model; Beyond Standard Model; BSM; particles; elementary particles; neutrino cross sections; LHC; FASER nu; particle physics; physics experiment; CERN; long lived particles; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In 2021, the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) will start searching for light and weakly coupled particles 480m from the proton-proton collision point of ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The FASER main detector will have a sub-detector, FASERν, sensitive to high-energy collider neutrinos of all flavours. READ MORE

  3. 17. Event Geometry and Anisotropic Flow in Proton-Proton Collisions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Johannes Holst; [2021]
    Keywords : high energy physics; particle physics; proton; collision; quark-gluon plasma; flow; anisotropy; anisotropic flow; elliptic flow; initial state; geometry; eccentricity; gaussian; cms; alice; lhc; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : We seek to better understand the relationship between an anisotropic distribution of partons in the initial state of pp-collisions and the amount of elliptic flow. We do this through the implementation of a new model that is based in generating positions for multiparton interactions from the uneven volume created by the overlap of two Gaussians. READ MORE

  4. 18. Simulation of Higgs boson pair production in Vector Boson Fusion at the LHC

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Daniela Romero; [2021]
    Keywords : Higgs boson; vbf; vector boson fusion; high energy physics; lhc; proton collision; madgraph; simulation;

    Abstract : MadGraph5 is used to generate events with Higgs boson pairs from vector boson fusion (VBF) at leading-order (LO) and next-to-leading-order (NLO) accuracy in QCD. The simulations are used to compute fiducial cross-sections in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, using several kinematic cuts on the outgoing jets, e.g. READ MORE

  5. 19. 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

  6. 20. 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
