  2. 1. Charged particle distributions and robustness of the neural network pixel clustering in ATLAS

    Author : Edvin Sidebo; Jonas Strandberg; Bengt Lund-Jensen; David Silvermyr; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; p p: scattering; ATLAS; LHC; charged particle: multiplicity; semiconductor detector: pixel; neural network: performance; track data analysis: cluster; charged particle: cluster; splitting; CERN LHC Coll; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : This thesis contains a study of the robustness of the artificial neural network used in the ATLAS track reconstruction algorithm as a tool to recover tracks in dense environments. Different variations, motivated by potential discrepancies between data and simulation, are performed to the neural network’s input while monitoring the corresponding change in the output. READ MORE

  4. 2. Experimental studies of particle production in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions

    Author : Pål Nilsson; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pad chambers; PHENIX; WA98; phi-meson; tracking; single particle spectra; heavy-ion collisions; inverse slope parameters; particle production; RHIC; charged particle multiplicity; pad readout; SPS; Physics; Fysik; Atomic and molecular physics; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Nilsson;

    Abstract : This thesis is about high energy heavy ion physics. Two major experiments, the WA98 at CERN and the PHENIX at Brookhaven National Laboratory, are described. Results from data analysis from both experiments are presented. The WA98 chapter presents particle identification methods and phi-meson measurements. READ MORE

  5. 3. Looking for the Charged Higgs Boson : Simulation Studies for the ATLAS Experiment

    Author : Martin Flechl; Tord Ekelöf; Richard Brenner; Kinnunen Ritva; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; charged Higgs; tau; ATLAS; HEP; CERN; LHC; Particle Physics; Grid; Physics; Fysik; högenergifysik; High Energy Physics;

    Abstract : The discovery of a charged Higgs boson (H+) would be an unambiguous sign of physics beyond the Standard Model. This thesis describes preparations for the H+ search with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The H+ discovery potential is evaluated, and tools for H+ searches are developed and refined. READ MORE

  6. 4. Charged Higgs Bosons at the ATLAS Experiment and Beyond

    Author : Elias Coniavitis; Richard Brenner; Tord Ekelöf; Johan Rathsman; Marco Battaglia; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; particle physics; Standard Model; beyond the Standard Model; supersymmetry; MSSM; Higgs physics; charged Higgs boson; LHC; ATLAS; ATLAS Semi-Conductor Tracker; SCT; tau lepton; Lorentz angle; CLIC; Elementary particle physics; Elementarpartikelfysik; High Energy Physics; Högenergifysik;

    Abstract : In the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, direct searches for the elusive Higgs boson will be conducted, as well as for physics beyond the Standard Model. The charged Higgs boson (H±) is interesting both as a part of the Higgs sector, and as a clear sign of new physics. READ MORE

  7. 5. Neutrino Oscillations and Charged Higgs Bosons – Experimental Projects for Physics beyond the Standard Model

    Author : Christian Hansen; Tord Ekelöf; Blair Ratcliff; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : This thesis is based on work done in two different experimental projects. The first project, the Tau RICH, is a previously proposed τ-neutrino appearance experiment for the CERN neutrino beam at the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy. The proposed experimental concept is based on the use of focusing RICH detectors with liquid radiator (C6F14). READ MORE
