ATLAS Detector Monitoring with Jets
(Master thesis, 2009-10-02)The purpose of this thesis was to provide a high level software framework for detecting large problems with the ATLAS detector at the LHC and estimate the jet resolution from the f irst data. The result was the program ... -
Azimuthally differential pion femtoscopy relative to the second and thrid harmonic in Pb-Pb 2.76 TeV collisions from ALICE
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11)Azimuthally differential femtoscopic measurements, being sensitive to spatio-temporal characteristics of the source as well as to the collective velocity fields at freeze-out, provide very important information on the ... -
Balance functions of (un)identified hadrons in Pb–Pb, p–Pb, and pp collisions at the LHC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, correlations of particles with opposite quantum numbers provide insight into quark production mechanisms and time scales, collective motion, and re-scattering in the hadronic ... -
Beauty production in pp collisions at √s=2.76 TeV measured via semi-electronic decays
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11)The ALICE Collaboration at the LHC reports measurement of the inclusive production cross section of electrons from semi-leptonic decays of beauty hadrons with rapidity |y|<0.8 and transverse momentum 1<pT<10 GeV/c, in pp ... -
Centrality dependence of the pseudorapidity density distribution for charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{NN}}\) = 2.76 TeV
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11)We present the first wide-range measurement of the charged-particle pseudorapidity density distribution, for different centralities (the 0-5%, 5-10%, 10-20%, and 20-30% most central events) in Pb-Pb collisions at ... -
Charged-particle multiplicities in \(pp\) interactions at \(\sqrt{s}\) = 900 GeV measured with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-04)The first measurements from proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are presented. Data were collected in December 2009 using a minimum-bias trigger during collisions at a centre-of-mass energy ... -
Elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76\) TeV
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)The elliptic flow, \(v_{2}\). of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity \(2.5 < y < 4\) is measured in Pb--Pb collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}\) = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The ... -
The evolution of the near-side peak in two-particle number and transverse momentum correlations in Pb–Pb collisions from ALICE
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-22)Two-particle number and transverse momentum correlations are powerful tools for studying the medium produced in heavy-ion collisions. Correlations in the angular separation of pairs of hadrons can provide information on ... -
The Higgs Boson in Less Constrained Supersymmetric Models
(Master thesis, 2012-06-01)In this thesis, we explore the phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model (pMSSM) in the context of the Higgs boson. If the emerging results from the LHC are real, will the pMSSM be able to accommodate this? ... -
The Higgs-like boson spin from the center–edge asymmetry in the diphoton channel at the LHC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-07)We discuss the discrimination of the 125 GeV spin-parity 0+ Higgs-like boson observed at the LHC, decaying into two photons, H→γγ, against the hypothesis of a minimally coupled JP=2+ narrow diphoton resonance with the same ... -
Investigations of anisotropic collectivity using multi-particle correlations in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11)Two- and multi-particle azimuthal correlations have proven to be an excellent tool to probe the properties of the strongly interacting matter created in heavy-ion collisions. Recently, the results obtained for multi-particle ... -
Measurement of electrons from beauty hadron decays in pp collisions at root √s=7 TeV
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-04-10)The production cross section of electrons from semileptonic decays of beauty hadrons was measured at mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.8) in the transverse momentum range 1 < pT <8 GeV/c with the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC in ... -
Measurement of the top-quark mass in the fully hadronic decay channel from ATLAS data at \(\sqrt{s}=7\) TeV
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-23)The mass of the top quark is measured in a data set corresponding to 4.6 fb\(^{−1}\) of proton--proton collisions with centre-of-mass energy \(\sqrt{s}=7\) TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events consistent ... -
