Precision luminosity measurement at hadron colliders

Joanna Malgorzata Wanczyk

This thesis links two realms of particle accelerator dynamics and precision particle physics. The achievement of precise luminosity measurement at hadron colliders is enabled with dedicated luminometers. For the Run 3 period, the luminometer upgrade was ...

Search for the lepton flavour violating decays B0→e±μ∓ and B0s→e±μ∓ with LHCb Run 2 data

Sebastian Schulte

A large variety of new physics models suggest that the rates for lepton flavour violating

b

-hadron decays may be much higher than predicted in the Standard Model, which leads to a high interest in the search for such decays. This thesis presents the se ...

Collimation simulations for the FCC-ee

Tatiana Pieloni, Giovanni Iadarola, Milica Rakic, Bruce Roderik, Guillaume Clément Broggi, Félix Simon Carlier

The collimation system of the Future Circular Collider, operating with leptons (FCC-ee), must protect not only the experiments against backgrounds, but also the machine itself from beam losses. With a 17.8 MJ stored energy of the electron and positron beam ...

Optimizing Dynamic Aperture Studies with Active Learning

Tatiana Pieloni, Ekaterina Krymova, Mike Seidel, Davide Di Croce, Massimo Giovannozzi

Dynamic aperture is an important concept for the study of non-linear beam dynamics in circular accelerators. It describes the extent of the phase-space region where a particle's motion remains bounded over a given number of turns. Understanding the feature ...

Chiral Anomaly and Dynamos from Inhomogeneous Chemical Potential Fluctuations

Jennifer Waltraud Schober

In the standard model of particle physics, the chiral anomaly can occur in relativistic plasmas and plays a role in the early Universe, protoneutron stars, heavy-ion collisions, and quantum materials. It gives rise to a magnetic instability if the number d ...

Measurement of the Higgs boson production via vector boson fusion and its decay into bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Jan Steggemann, Qian Wang, Anna Mascellani, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Rakesh Chawla, Matteo Galli

A measurement of the Higgs boson (H) production via vector boson fusion (VBF) and its decay into a bottom quark-antiquark pair (b (b) over bar) is presented using proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at root s = 13TeV and correspondi ...
