  1. 11. Strange Hadron Production as a Function of Multiplicity and Transverse Spherocity in proton-proton Collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$~TeV

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

    Author : Maria Mårtenson; [2018]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the study of the K$^{0}_{s}$, $\Lambda$, and $\bar{\Lambda}$ production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$~TeV recorded by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The K$^{0}_{s}$, $\Lambda$, and $\bar{\Lambda}$ particles are reconstructed in the transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{T}}$) range of $1.0-12. READ MORE

  2. 12. Studying the sensitivity of the ATLAS mono(H-bb) + missing transverse momentum search for a Dark Higgs signal

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

    Author : David Madsen; [2018]
    Keywords : Dark Higgs; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Dark Matter is one of the biggest mysteries in physics of our time, with an overwhelming amount of evidence for its existence but lack of direct observation (at time of writing). The focus of this thesis is to reimplement an ATLAS analysis used for Dark Matter searches in the mono-H(bb) channel, and use that analysis in order to study the signal of a new particle called Dark Higgs.

  3. 13. The space--time structure of hadron production in high-energy collisions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Silvia Ferreres; [2018]
    Keywords : event generator; space--time implementation; hadron production; hadron density; space--time; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the space--time picture of the hadronization model has been implemented in the event generator Pythia. From this implementation, the hadronic behaviour has been studied for different scenarios, in order to begin addressing the unexpected collective behaviour of high-multiplicity pp events, which is typical for heavy-ion collisions.

  4. 14. Feasibility of new Dark Matter search at ATLAS

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

    Author : Peter Stratmann; [2017]
    Keywords : Dark Matter; ATLAS; Trigger-Level Analysis; Calibration; Level 1; Mediator; Jets; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the idea of calibrating Level 1 jets. These are used in the Trigger-Level Analysis at the ATLAS in the search for a new mediator, in this case between Standard Model and Dark Matter particles. In the thesis, the idea to calibrate the Level 1 jets is investigated. READ MORE

  5. 15. Parton Shower Algorithms - Possible Improvements

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Baptiste Cabouat; [2017]
    Keywords : Parton shower; event generators; Monte Carlo simulations; QCD; Pythia; Final-state radiation; Initial-State radiation; evolution variable; dipole; recoils; deep inelastic scattering; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this Master thesis, two directions have been explored to improve the current parton shower algorithm of the event generator Pythia. Firstly, three choices of transverse-momentum-ordered evolution variable have been studied for final-state radiation in order to allow more flexibility within the algorithm. READ MORE
