Chiral Anomaly and Dynamos from Inhomogeneous Chemical Potential Fluctuations

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 ...

Energy-Efficient Particle Accelerators for Research

Mike Seidel

Particle accelerators are the drivers for large-scale research infrastructures for particle physics but also for many branches of condensed matter research. The types of accelerator-driven research infrastructures include particle colliders, neutron, muon ...

A Method of Moments Estimator for Interacting Particle Systems and their Mean Field Limit

Andrea Zanoni, Grigorios A. Pavliotis

We study the problem of learning unknown parameters in stochastic interacting particle systems with polynomial drift, interaction, and diffusion functions from the path of one single particle in the system. Our estimator is obtained by solving a linear sys ...

Splitting probabilities and mean first-passage times across multiple thresholds of jump-and-drift transition paths

Paolo Perona, Giulio Calvani

We apply the stochastic-trajectory analysis to derive exact expressions for the mean first passage times of jump-and-drift transition paths across two or more consecutive thresholds. We perform the analysis of the crossing statistics in terms of dimensionl ...

Search for Exotic Higgs Boson Decays H → AA → 4γ with Events Containing Two Merged Diphotons in Proton-Proton Collisions at Vs=13 TeV

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

We present the first direct search for exotic Higgs boson decays H -> AA, A -> gamma gamma in events with two photonlike objects. The hypothetical particle A is a low-mass spin-0 particle decaying promptly to a merged diphoton reconstructed as a single pho ...

Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons with LHCb

Serhii Cholak

This thesis presents a search for a beyond the Standard Model (SM) heavy neutral lepton (HNL), which does not interact via any of the SM interactions. This hypothetical particle has been proposed by multiple theories as an extension to the SM, and it could ...

Nano-MOSFET - Foundation of Quantum Computing Part I

Edoardo Charbon, Fabio Sebastiano

As big strides were being made in many science fields in the 1970s and 80s, faster computation for solving problems in molecular biology, semiconductor technology, aeronautics, particle physics, etc., was at the forefront of research. Parallel and super-co ...

Testing lepton flavour universality in $B^+\to K^+\pi^+\pi^-\ell^+\ell^-$ decays with LHCb

Sara Celani

This PhD thesis aims at testing one of the fundamental properties of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics: the lepton flavour universality (LFU), which states that

W

and

Z

bosons are equally coupled to the three lepton generations. In this work, ...

Pollution mask for the continuous corrected particle number concentration data in 1 min time resolution measured in the Swiss aerosol container using a whole air inlet during MOSAiC 2019/2020

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot

This dataset contains particle number concentrations and a pollution flag in 1 min time resolution. It is derived by the pollution detection algorithm (PDA, doi:10.5281/zenodo.5761101) based on the corrected particle number concentration data of the CPC377 ...

Why computational complexity may set impenetrable barriers for epistemic reductionism

Michael Herzog, Christian Sachse, Adrien Christophe Doerig

According to physicalism, everything is physical or metaphysically connected to the physical. If physicalism were true, it seems that we should - in principle - be able to reduce the descriptions and explanations of special sciences to physical ones, for e ...
