Studier av algoritmer for tau-identifikasjon
(Master thesis, 2010-05-31)Mange signaturer for ny fysikk i ATLAS vil henfalle til eit eller fleire tau-lepton. Derfor har ATLAS utvikla verktøy for identifikasjon av tau-lepton som henfall eit eller fleire pion. Verktøya er kompliserte og inneheld ... -
Studies of \(Z\gamma\) production in association with a high-mass dijet system in \(pp\) collisions at \(\sqrt{s}=\) 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07)The production of a \(Z\) boson and a photon in association with a high-mass dijet system is studied using 20.2fb\(^{-1}\) of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of \(\sqrt{s}\) = 8 TeV recorded with ... -
Studies of J/ψ production at forward rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-06)The inclusive J/ψ production in Pb–Pb collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √sNN = 5.02 TeV, measured with the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC, is reported. The J/ψ meson is reconstructed via the dimuon ... -
Studies of the linear energy transfer and relative biological effectiveness in proton therapy of pediatric brain tumors
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-11-25)Proton therapy offers a reduction in dose to normal tissue compared to conventional photon-based radiotherapy. This is of particular benefit for pediatric patients as the majority are expected to become long-term survivors. ... -
Studies of the performance of the ATLAS detector using cosmic-ray muons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-03-29)Muons from cosmic-ray interactions in the atmosphere provide a high-statistics source of particles that can be used to study the performance and calibration of the ATLAS detector. Cosmic-ray muons can penetrate to the ... -
Studies of the Relative Biological Effectiveness and Biological Dose in Proton and Carbon Ion Therapy
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-04-28)Protons and heavier ions have an increased relative biological effectiveness (RBE) compared to photons. While variable RBE models are applied clinically in carbon ion therapy, the RBE in proton therapy is accounted for ... -
Studies on the solid-state transformation and chemical modification reactions of carbon black nanoparticles
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-06-26)Carbon black (CB) is nanoscale particles with quasi-spherical nature, produced from incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. It is a well-known type of amorphous carbon which exists in the form of aggregated spheres. CBs are ... -
Study of B+c→J/ψD+s and B+c→J/ψD∗+s decays in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)A study of B+c→J/ψD+sBc+→J/ψDs+ and B+c→J/ψD∗+sBc+→J/ψDs∗+ decays using 139 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected with the ATLAS detector from s√s = 13 TeV pp collisions at the LHC is presented. The ratios of the branching ... -
A study of capillary pressure and capillary continuity in fractured rocks
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-09-05)The production of oil is challenging in fractured reservoirs due to the large transmissibility contrast between matrix and fracture, and primary recovery is often low. The recovery efficiency depends on the relationship ... -
Study of Gas Mobility Control during CO2 Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Carbon Dioxide (CO2) has been used as a commercial source for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) for over 40 years. In recent years, the utilization of anthropogenic CO2 has become more attractive, because of its proven EOR and ... -
Study of heavy-flavor quarks produced in association with top-quark pairs at √s =7 TeV using the ATLAS detector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-21)Using a sample of dilepton top-quark pair (tt¯) candidate events, a study is performed of the production of top-quark pairs together with heavy-flavor (HF) quarks, the sum of tt¯+b+X and tt¯+c+X, collectively referred to ... -
Study of Industrial Grade Thermal Insulation at Elevated Temperatures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Thermal insulation is used for preventing heat losses or heat gains in various applications. In industries that process combustible products, inorganic-materials-based thermal insulation may, if proven sufficiently heat ... -
Study of J/ψ azimuthal anisotropy at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV

Study of leading hadrons in gluon and quark fragmentation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-12)The study of quark jets in e+e− reactions at LEP has demonstrated that the hadronisation process is reproduced well by the Lund string model. However, our understanding of gluon fragmentation is less complete. In this study ... -
A study of mass reconstruction in Z°→τ+τ-
(Master thesis, 2010-05-28)Neutrinos escaping detection is one of the main problems in mass reconstruction with tau leptons. They must be neglected or corrected for in some way. This thesis discusses two methods of handling the neutrinos in different ... -
