Book Description
This thesis presents a search for long-lived particles decaying into displaced electrons and/or muons with large impact parameters. This signature provides unique sensitivity to the production of theoretical lepton-partners, sleptons. These particles are a feature of supersymmetric theories, which seek to address unanswered questions in nature. The signature searched for in this thesis is difficult to identify, and in fact, this is the first time it has been probed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It covers a long-standing gap in coverage of possible new physics signatures. This thesis describes the special reconstruction and identification algorithms used to select leptons with large impact parameters and the details of the background estimation. The results are consistent with background, so limits on slepton masses and lifetimes in this model are calculated at 95% CL, drastically improving on the previous best limits from the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP).

Particle Physics Reference Library
Author: Christian W. Fabjan
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030353184
Category : Elementary particles (Physics).
Languages : en
Pages : 1083
Book Description
This second open access volume of the handbook series deals with detectors, large experimental facilities and data handling, both for accelerator and non-accelerator based experiments. It also covers applications in medicine and life sciences. A joint CERN-Springer initiative, the "Particle Physics Reference Library" provides revised and updated contributions based on previously published material in the well-known Landolt-Boernstein series on particle physics, accelerators and detectors (volumes 21A, B1,B2,C), which took stock of the field approximately one decade ago. Central to this new initiative is publication under full open access

The Conceptual Basis of Quantum Field Theory
Author: Gerard't Hooft
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781502591852
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Relativistic Quantum Field Theory is a mathematical scheme to describethe sub-atomic particles and forces. The basic starting point is that the axiomsof Special Relativity on the one hand and those of Quantum Mechanics on theother, should be combined into one theory. The fundamental ingredients forthis construction are reviewed. A remarkable feature is that the constructionis not perfect; it will not allow us to compute all amplitudes with unlimitedprecision. Yet in practice this theory is more than accurate enough to coverthe entire domain between the atomic scale and the Planck scale, some 20orders of magnitude
