Author:Leigh, MatthewDate: 2020The ATLAS detector is a multipurpose particle detector built to record almost all possible decay products of the high energy proton-proton collisions provided by the Large Hadron Collider. The presence and combined kinematics of unobserved ...Read more
Author:Yacoob, SahalDate:2001The CERN WA97 results display a strong strangeness enhancement at mid-rapidity which is dependent on the strangeness of the particle concernec, and saturates at values of participating nucleons greater than 120. These results are phenomenologically ...Read more
Author:Barends, Kevin NicholasDate:2019So far, various measurements have been performed for the top quark mass using jets as a dominant experimental signature. The leading precision measurement of 1732.44 ±0.13±0.47 GeV is a combination of top quark mass measurements conducted by ...Read more
Author:Garvey, CameronDate: 2022In this dissertation, a measurement of the leptonic charge asymmetry (A ` C ) in top quark pair production in association with a W boson (t ¯tW±) is presented. The A ` C is sensitive to new physics beyond the standard model, such as the ...Read more
Author:Mwewa, ChilufyaDate:2020The production of same sign WW bosons (W±W±) is an extremely rare process predicted within the Standard Model (SM). It results from electroweak mediated processes such as Vector Boson Scattering (VBS), a process linked with electroweak symmetry ...Read more
Author:Atkin, Ryan JustinDate:2019The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is planned to be upgraded to the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), increasing the rate of collisions and producing more particles passing through the detectors. This increased production rate will require upgrades ...Read more
Author:McConnell, Lucas HenryDate:2017Same-sign W-boson scattering is a rare Standard Model process that is useful for probing the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism. Analysis is currently underway to measure the cross-section to a significance of 5σ ...Read more
Author:Kadish, ShaiDate: 2022The work presented here details the development of software-based tools for the extraction of physical parameters which describe two-phase (gas-liquid) upwardly flowing CO2, for the purpose of using these parameters as sensor data for a control ...Read more
