Higgs-Dilaton cosmology: Are there extra relativistic species?

Javier Rubio

Recent analyses of cosmological data suggest the presence of an extra relativistic component beyond the Standard Model content. The Higgs-Dilaton cosmological model predicts the existence of a massless particle - the dilaton - associated with the spontaneo ...

Perturbative Techniques in Hadron Collider Physics

Paolo Torrielli

High-energy particle physics is going through a crucial moment of its history, one in which it can finally aspire to give a precise answer to some of the fundamental questions it has been conceived for. On the one side, the theoretical picture describing t ...

Baryon asymmetry of the Universe without Boltzmann or Kadanoff-Baym equations

Jean-Sébastien Gagnon

We present a formalism that allows the computation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, from the first principles of statistical physics and quantum field theory, that is applicable to certain types of physics beyond the standard model (such as the neu ...

Primordial perturbations from multifield inflation with nonminimal couplings

Realistic models of particle physics include many scalar fields. These fields generically have nonminimal couplings to the Ricci curvature scalar, either as part of a generalized Einstein theory or as necessary counterterms for renormalization in curved ba ...

Construction of the Inner Tracker and Sensitivity to the B°s -> [mu][mu] Decay at LHCb

Marc-Olivier Bettler

LHCb is one of the four main experiments hosted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The LHC first started in September 2008 and, after a one-year hiccough, restarted in November 2009. In the course of three weeks, the HEP community witnessed the fi ...

Linearized model Fokker-Planck collision operators for gyrokinetic simulations. II. Numerical implementation and tests

Paolo Ricci

A set of key properties for an ideal dissipation scheme in gyrokinetic simulations is proposed, and implementation of a model collision operator satisfying these properties is described. This operator is based on the exact linearized test-particle collisio ...

Study of the radiative penguin B0s [to] [phi] [gamma] and B0s [to] [gamma] [gamma] decays and the resonant B+ [to] K+ [gamma] [gamma] decays at Belle

Jean Wicht

We present the study of the radiative penguin Bs0 → ϕγ and Bs0 → γγ decays and the resonant B+ → K+h → K+γγ decays. We use data samples recorded at the Υ(4S) and Υ(5S) resonances with the Belle detector at KEKB, an electron-positron collider located ...

LHC interaction region upgrade

Riccardo De Maria

The thesis analyzes the interaction region of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It proposes, studies and compares several upgrade options. The interaction region is the part of the LHC that hosts the particle detectors which analyze the collisions. An upgra ...

A study of beam-beam effects in hadron colliders with a large number of bunches

Tatiana Pieloni

A particle beam is a collection of a large number of charges and represents an electromagnetic potential for other charges, therefore exerting forces on itself (space charge) and other beams (Beam-Beam Interactions, BBIs). The control of the BBIs in partic ...

Particle creation from non-topological solitons

Stephen Clark

Non topological solitons, Q balls can arise in many particle theories with U(1) global symmetries. As was shown by Cohen et al. [2], if the corresponding scalar field couples to massless fermions, large Q-balls are unstable and evaporate, producing a fermi ...
