2. 1. Phenomenology of Higgs Bosons Beyond the Standard Model

   Author : Glenn Wouda; Rikard Enberg; Gunnar Ingelman; Johan Rathsman; Rui Santos; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Particle physics; The Standard Model; Higgs bosons; Higgs mechanism; Beyond the Standard Model; Two Higgs Doublet Models; Charged Higgs boson; Higgs decays; Supersymmetry; Renormalization; LHC; Collider constraints; Fysik med inriktning mot elementarpartikelfysik; Physics with specialization in Elementary Particle Physics;

   Abstract : After a long history of searches, a Higgs boson H was discovered by the ATLAS and the CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012. Its properties fit well the ones predicted by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. However, the SM can not explain other established properties of Nature, such as the existence of Dark Matter. READ MORE

4. 2. Searches for Higgs bosons with hadronically decaying τ-leptons : Using Grid and Cloud computing techniques

   Author : Henrik Öhman; Arnaud Ferrari; Paula Eerola; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LHC; ATLAS; Higgs; Charged Higgs; Tau lepton; 2HDM; MSSM; Fysik med inriktning mot elementarpartikelfysik; Physics with specialization in Elementary Particle Physics;

   Abstract : This thesis describes a measurement of the Standard Model Higgs boson coupling to fermions in decays to two τ-leptons, a search for charged Higgs bosons in decays to a τ-lepton and a neutrino, as well as the reconstruction, identification and triggering of hadronically decaying τ-leptons. The data considered are collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. READ MORE

5. 3. Exploration of extended Higgs sectors, development of a displaced track trigger, and improvements in GRID middleware

   Author : Max Isacson; Elin Bergeås Kuutmann; Patrizia Azzi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; BSM; Supersymmetry; Standard Model; Higgs; 2HDM; Charged Higgs; Compositeness; Pattern Matching; GRID; Fysik med inriktning mot elementarpartikelfysik; Physics with specialization in Elementary Particle Physics;

   Abstract : Two possible solutions to the Standard Model (SM) fine-tuning problem are presented in this thesis, MSSM and Compositeness. The Higgs sector of the MSSM can be tested by searching for charged Higgs bosons. Two direct searches for charged Higgs bosons decaying into a top- and bottom-quark are performed using 13.2 and 36.

6. 4. Phenomenology of Diffractive Higgs Production and Large Extra Dimensions

   Author : Malin Sjödahl; Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ADD; black holes; gravitational scattering; quantum field theory; Elementary particle physics; LHC; cosmic rays; Kosmisk strålning; högenergi; High energy interactions; kvantfältteori; Elementarpartikelfysik; Higgs; large extra dimensions; Diffractive;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on phenomenological predictions for high energy particle collisions from two different theoretical models. The first two papers deal with uncertainties in exclusive reactions of type proton + proton -> proton + proton + Higgs. READ MORE

7. 5. Effects of the Higgs field on Inflation and Reheating

   Author : Aliki Litsa; Katherine Freese; Jens Jasche; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; inflation; reheating; Higgs; non-gaussianity; cosmological perturbations; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

   Abstract : The model of inflation - a period of accelerated expansion in the very early Universe - was introduced to give solutions to a number of problems encountered in the Standard Big Bang paradigm. Additionally, due to its quantum nature, inflation is able to generate the necessary primordial inhomogeneity “seeds”, which eventually evolve into large-scale structures. READ MORE
