Physics In D>=4: Tasi 2004 - Proceedings Of The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute In Elementary Particle Physics
Author: John Terning
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814477982
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 873
Book Description
This book contains write-ups of lectures from a summer school for advanced graduate students in elementary particle physics. In the first lecture, Scott Willenbrock gives an overview of the standard model of particle physics. This is followed by reviews of specific areas of standard model physics: precision electroweak analysis by James Wells, quantum chromodynamics and jets by George Sterman, and heavy quark effective field by Matthias Neubert. Developments in neutrino physics are discussed by André de Gouvea and the theory behind the Higgs boson is addressed by Laura Reina. Collider phenomenology from both experimental and theoretical perspectives are highlighted by Heidi Schellman and Tao Han. A brief survey of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking is provided by R Sekhar Chivukula and Elizabeth H Simmons. Martin Schmaltz covers the recent proposals for “little” Higgs theories. Markus Luty describes what is needed to make supersymmetric theories realistic by breaking supersymmetry. There is an entire series of lectures by Raman Sundrum, Graham Kribs, and Csaba Csáki on extra dimensions. Finally, Keith Olive completes the book with a review of astrophysics.

Book Description
At the beginning of 2002 a new data taking with an upgraded trigger system started for the CDF collaboration. One of the major improvements is the track trigger. A fast processor reconstructs tracks in the central drift chamber and the Silicon Vertex Tracker combines these tracks with the silicon vertex detector information to have track parameters with a precision as good as the offine reconstruction. This system allows CDF to trigger on tracks significantly displaced from the primary vertex with high efficiency for signal events like charm and beauty and to keep low background rates. The performances, in terms of resolution and efficiency, of both the processors are illustrated and the firsts physics results are discussed.

B Physics & Cp Violation '99, 3rd Intl Conf
Author: Wei Shu Hou
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814492663
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
CP violation was first observed in 1964, but only in 1999 did we gain much greater experimental insight. Direct CP violation finally appeared in the form of ε′/ε in the K system. Indirect CP violation in B → J/Ψ Ks decay, the raison d'être for construction of e+e- B factories, was first sniffed out at the proton-antiproton collider. The asymmetric B factories — BABAR at SLAC and BELLE at KEK — were completed, while the symmetric B factory at Cornell was upgraded to CLEO-III. It seems that everyone is positioning himself for the great competition on “B Physics and CP Violation”, racing to unravel the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, especially the size and origin of CP phases. The change of millennium provides a dramatic backdrop.To have intensive discussions at the technical level, to create broader interest in the subject, and to maximize interaction between experimenters and theorists, this book starts with the status of B factories: accelerator, detector and physics analysis. Following an overview of B physics and the CKM matrix, it delves into the details of lifetime, spectroscopy and decays, with even more specialized discussions on rare decays, direct and indirect CP violation, factorization and final state interactions, determination of unitarity phases, etc. Topics on ε′/ε, rare K decay, charm and hyperon systems, and various T, CP and CPT tests are also discussed at length. The book closes with the outlook for hadron machines and the prospects for new physics. A special feature is that there are two summary talks, one on experiment and the other on theory. The book is further augmented by two dozen excellent contributed talks.

Particle Physics and Cosmology
Author: Jose F. Nieves
Publisher: American Institute of Physics
ISBN: 9781563969652
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
The Standard Model offers no fundamental explanation for the origin of the fermion mass and mixing parameters, except that they arise from Yukawa couplings, which are free parameters of the Model. The Workshop addresses various theoretical, phenomenological, and experimental issues concerning quark and lepton masses and mixings, which are central to solving the long-standing fermion mass problem. Following the trend of the First Tropical Workshop (AIP CP 444), the focus is again the presentation of the current status of the main accelerator and non-accelerator neutrino mass experiments, such as Super-Kamiokande, and SNO, the future experimental projects, e.g., MINOS, and some of the phenomenology related to them. Also included are reviews of the theoretical and phenomenological ideas related to the tests of the "direct" CP violating effects that are expected to occur in both the K and the B meson systems, including discussions of future experimental projects.

Book Description
The Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) is the new trigger processor which reconstructs 2-D tracks with high speed and accuracy at the level 2 trigger of the CDFII experiment. SVT allows tagging events with secondary vertices and therefore enhances the CDFII B-physics capability. SVT has been fully assembled and operational since the beginning of Tevatron RunII in April 2001. In this paper we briefly review the SVT design and physics motivation and then describe its performance during the early phase of CDF RunII.

Search for Dark Matter Produced in Association with a Higgs Boson Decaying to Two Bottom Quarks at ATLAS
Author: Yangyang Cheng
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331944218X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
This thesis reports on the search for dark matter in data taken with the ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The identification of dark matter and the determination of its properties are among the highest priorities in elementary particle physics and cosmology. The most likely candidate, a weakly interacting massive particle, could be produced in the high energy proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The analysis presented here is unique in looking for dark matter produced together with a Higgs boson that decays into its dominant decay mode, a pair of b quarks. If dark matter were seen in this mode, we would learn directly about the production mechanism because of the presence of the Higgs boson. This thesis develops the search technique and presents the most stringent production limit to date.
