The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment has recently placed the most stringent limit for the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon scattering cross-section. The WIMP search limit was aided by an internal tritium source resulting in an unprecedented calibration and understanding of the electronic recoil background. Here we discuss corrections to the signals in LUX, the energy scale calibration and present the methodology for extracting fundamental properties of electron recoils in liquid xenon. The tritium calibration is used to measure the ionization and scintillation yield of xenon down to 1 keV, the results is compared to other experiments. Recombination probability and its fluctuation is measured from 1 to 1000 keV, using betas from tritium and Compton scatters from an external 137Cs source. Finally, the tritium source is described and the most recent results for ER discrimination in LUX is presented.

It is the goal of this dissertation to demonstrate that beyond the standard model, certain theories exist which solve conflicts between observation and theory -- conflicts such as massive neutrinos, dark matter, unstable Higgs vacuum, and recent Planck observations of excess relativistic degrees of freedom in the early universe. Theories explored include a D-brane inspired construct of U(3) × Sp(1) × U(1) × U(1) extension of the standard model, in which we demonstrate several possible observables that may be detected at the LHC, and an ability to stabilize the Higgs mechanism. The extended model can also explain recent Planck data which, when added to HST data gives an excess of relativistic degrees of freedom of Δ N = 0.574 ± 0.25 above the standard result. Also explored is a possible non-thermal dark matter model for explanation of this result. Recent observations of Fermi bubble results indicate a signal of a 50 GeV dark matter particle annihilating into b b-bar, with a thermally averaged annihilation cross section corresponding to <σ v> = 8 × 10
(-27) cm
3/s, spurs interestin a Higgs portal model suggested by Steven Weinberg. Other implications of this model are also explored such as its ability to explain dark matter direct detection results along with LHC Higgs data, and Planck data. Particle physics is complimented by possible stochastic gravitational wave searches for which a model of second order global phase transitions is explored. These transitions generate gravitational wave spectra with amplitudes of order Ω(gw) h

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory that concerns how the strong force interacts with subatomic particles. Topological configurations that interpolate between vacuum states have been shown to play an important role in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), believed to be created in heavy ion collisions. The possible existence of [special characters omitted]-odd domains in the QGP combined with an external magnetic field that is produced in mid-central collisions may be the ingredients necessary for the so-called chiral magnetic effect (CME). The CME is the consequence of topological features called sphalerons (that are created in the hot QCD matter) in the presence of a strong magnetic field, and it induces a separation of negatively and positively charged particles along the direction of the field. This separation varies its orientation from event to event, resulting in the expectation value of any [special characters omitted]-odd observable to vanish, making it necessary to measure the variation in fluctuations. Any indication of a real charge dipole moment could be evidence for local parity violation (LPV), which would have profound implications on our understanding of the natural world.
In this dissertation, charge dependent azimuthal correlations are used to measure the charge separation fluctuations in gold ion collisions at STAR. There are three primary analyses: measuring charge distributions as a function of beam energy, by selecting specific hadron species to filter background effects, and for uranium ion collisions. The beam energy analysis shows that a small charge separation shrinks with diminishing beam energy, eventually vanishing at the lowest energies. The kaon-pion correlations are performed to eliminate specific background effects unrelated to the CME, and behave consistently with results using all types of hadrons. The uranium analysis attempts to distinguish how much of the azimuthal correlations are influenced by elliptic anisotropy, suggesting the signal is coming from a mixture of CME and strong interaction backgrounds. From the evidence gathered from these analyses, we conclude that there are signs of small charge separations congruous to predictions from the CME, however, much of the signal is obscured by other strong interaction backgrounds. The effective contribution strengths are calculated and suggestions for improvements are made in the conclusion.
Dorney, Brian Lee. „Measurement of Angular Correlation in b Quark Pair Production at the LHC as a Test of Perturbative QCD“. Thesis, Florida Institute of Technology, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3572589.
Beauty quarks are pair-produced by strong interactions in multi-TeV proton-proton (pp) collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Such interactions allow for a test of perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in a new energy regime. The primary beauty-antibeauty quark b b pair production mechanisms in perturbative QCD are referred to as flavor creation, flavor excitation, and gluon splitting. These three mechanisms produce bb pairs with characteristic kinematic behavior, which contribute differently to the shape of the differential b b production cross section with respect to the difference in the azimuthal angle Δ&phis; and the combined separation variable Δ R = [special characters omitted] between the beauty and antibeauty quarks (b and b, respectively); with Δη being the change in the pseudorapidity η = — ln (tan (&thetas;/2)), &thetas; being the polar angle. These Δ&phis; and ΔR variables are collectively referred to as angular correlation variables and hence forth referred to as Δ A. By measuring the shape and absolute normalization of the differential production cross section distributions with respect to ΔA a test of the predictions of perturbative QCD can be performed.
This dissertation describes a measurement of the differential production cross sections with respect to the ΔA between two hadronic jets arising from the hadronization and decay of b or b (referred to as b hence forth) produced in pp collisions at the LHC observed with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector. Hadronic jets are identified as originating from b quarks, i.e. b-tagged, based on the presence of high impact parameter tracks with respect to the primary pp interaction point in events in which a muon is also produced. The study presented in this dissertation corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3 pb -1 collected in 2010 by the CMS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV.
The visible kinematic phase-space of the differential production cross sections probed in this study is given by the requirement of two b-tagged hadronic jets with [special characters omitted] > 30 GeV and ∥ηjet∥ < 2.4, with an angular separation of ΔR > 0.6 between them, one of these jets has a muon within its constituents with [special characters omitted] > 8 GeV and ∥ημ∥ < 2.1. The results obtained in data are compared with predictions based on perturbative QCD calculations given by CASCADE, MADGRAPH/MADEVENT, and PYTHIA Monte Carlo event generators. The predictions of perturbative QCD are found to be in agreement the measured differential cross sections within uncertainties.

Coherent electron cooling (CeC) offers a potential new method of cooling hadron beams in colliders such as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) or the future electron ion collider eRHIC. A 22 MeV linear accelerator is currently being built as part of a proof of principle experiment for CeC at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). In this thesis we present a simulation of electron beam dynamics including space charge in the 22 MeV CeC proof of principle experiment using the program ASTRA (A Space charge TRacking Algorithm).
Adikaram, Dasuni Kalhari. „Direct measurements of two photon exchange on lepton-proton elastic scattering using simultaneous electron-positron beams in CLAS“. Thesis, Old Dominion University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3580489.
The electric (GE) and magnetic ( GM) form factors of the proton are fundamental observables which characterize its charge and magnetization distributions. There are two methods to measure the proton form factors: the Rosenbluth separation method and the polarization transfer technique. However, the ratio of the electric and magnetic form factors measured by those methods significantly disagree at momentum transfer Q2 > 1 GeV2. The most likely explanation of this discrepancy is the inclusion of two-photon exchange (TPE) amplitude contributions to the elastic electron-proton cross section which significantly changes the extraction of GE from the Rosenbluth separation measurement. The Jefferson Lab CLAS TPE experiment determined the TPE contribution by measuring the ratio of positron-proton to electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections. The primary electron beam was used to create an intense bremsstrahlung photon beam. Some of the photons were then converted to a mixed e+/ e- beam which then interacted with a liquid hydrogen target. The e+p and e-p events were detected by the CLAS (CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer). The elastic cross section ratios ((σ( e+p)/(σ(e -p)) were measured over a wide range of virtual photon polarization ϵ and Q2. The cross section ratios displayed a strong ϵ dependence at Q2 = 1.45 GeV2. There is no significant Q2 dependence observed at ϵ = 0.45. The results are consistent with a recent measurement at the VEPP-3 lepton storage ring in Novosibirsk and with the hadronic calculation by Blunders, Melnitchouk and Tjon. The hadronic calculation resolves the disagreement between the Rosenbluth separation and polarization transfer extractions of GE/GM at Q2 up to 2 – 3 GeV2. Applying the GLAS TPE correction to the Rosenbluth cross section measurements significantly decreases the extracted value of GE and brings it into good agreement with the polarization transfer measurement at Q2∼1.75 GeV2. Thus, these measurements appear to resolve the proton electric form factor discrepancy for Q2 < 2 GeV2.
Hicks, Bernard Richard. „Differential Production Cross-Section of Heavy-Flavor Electrons in 2.76 TeV pp collisions at the LHC with the ALICE detector“. Thesis, Yale University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3580707.
Recent results at RHIC seem to confirm T.D.Lee's hypothesis that a new form of matter, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), could be formed in heavy-ion collisions at high energies. Heavy quarks, being formed in the early stages of heavy-ion collisions, form a good probe for the properties of the QGP. The energy loss of heavy quarks as they traverse the medium is predicted to be less than that of the lighter quarks. However; previous measurements of the nuclear modification factor at RIHC indicate that the energy loss of heavy and light quarks is comparable. Thus measurements of the in-medium energy loss of heavy-quarks are of particular interest. In this thesis, a measurement of the differential production cross-section of electrons from the semi-leptonic decay of heavy-flavor quarks in [special characters omitted] = 2.76 TeV pp is presented. This provides a stringent test of perturbative QCD in a new energy regime, and forms a crucial baseline for Pb-Pb collisions where the in-medium energy loss mechanism can be studied.
Hagan, Scott. „Scale invariant and topological approaches to the cosmological constant problem“. Thesis, McGill University, 1995. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=39926.
Motivated by the natural connection between dilatation invariance and the extinction of the vacuum energy density, a phenomenological realization of a global scale symmetry is constructed. A complete treatment of such a realization in the context of a supergravitational toy model is calculated to one loop using an effective potential formalism. Particular attention is paid to the quantization of both supersymmetric and general coordinate gauges and to the concomitant ghost structure since traditional treatments have introduced non-local operators in the ghost Lagrangian and generating functional. Contributions to the effective potentid from the gravity sector are thus determined that contradict the literature. A particular class of tree-level scalar potentials that includes the 'no-scale' case is studied in the that space limit. While it is found that scale invariance can be maintained at the one-loop level and the cosmological constant made to vanish for all potentials in the class this is directly attributable to supersymmetry. A richer form of the Kahler potential or an enlarged particle content may facilitate the breaking of supersymmetry.
Phenomenological consequences of supergravity are investigated through a one-loop calculation of the electromagnetic form factor of the gravitino. Should such a form factor exist a signature of the gravitino might be found in processes with unlabeled products such as $e sp+e sp- to nothing.$ It is found that the form factor vanishes to this order, the Lorentz structures generated being too impoverished to withstand a constraining set of polarization conditions.
Finally the wormhole solution to the cosmological constant problem is examined in a semiclassical approximation. The notion that scalar field worm-holes must have associated conserved charges is questioned and a model of massive scalar field wormholes is delineated and proven to provide a counterexample. As the model allows baby universes nucleated with a certain eigenvalue of the scalar field momentum to classically evolve to a different value, competing semiclassical paths contribute to the same transition amplitude. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the novel semiclassical paths available to massive solutions cannot be overlooked in approximating the tunneling amplitude.

The scale factors r and R, which can be interpreted as the radii of the universe, tend to evolve in opposite directions: one radius expands and the other shrinks.
We also study the flatness problem and propose an alternative solution to this problem.
The behaviour of the radii r and R rear the Planck length $({ sim}10 sp{-33}$cm) is studied in detail.
The significance of our results lies in the fact that in the context of string theory, we may have a good chance of observing several large spatial dimensions, with other internal spatial dimensions remaining small and unobserved from a macroscopic point of view.

Experimental high energy physics (HEP) techniques are applied to accurate simulated collider data in search for existence or exclusion of supersymmetric (SUSY) particles. Supersymmetry is a leading candidate to resolve the hierarchy problem in particle physics as well as offer a stable dark matter candidate. Techniques and practices are explored and applied to the leptonic decay process production followed by and where is the proton, is the chargino, , are neutralinos and , are the standard model W and Higgs Bosons respectively. Signal yields are in general agreement with other researchers and ranged from 0.5 to 62.6 events. Reduction in the background to signal ratio is demonstrated through isolating the SUSY process and applying theoretical knowledge of the signal and associated dominant backgrounds. Results from this study establish procedures for future work with actual data, offer a benchmark for this specific leptonic decay process and may motivate variable selection and cut criteria choices in future analysis of similar signal processes.

L'interface entre la Cosmologie et la Physique des hautes énergies est un sujet de recherche d'avant-plan en constant développement. La cosmologie inspirée par la théorie des cordes est le sujet de la première partie de cette thèse, dans laquelle nous proposons d'une part un nouveau mécanisme pour l'inflation et d'autre part une nouvelle alternative de modèle cosmologique. Dans la seconde partie nous nous concentrons sur les problèmes reliés à l'intégration de la cosmologie dans un modèle de physique des particules au-delà du Modèle Standard. Motivés par les nouvelles possibilités venant des degrés de liberté de la théorie des cordes, nous proposons une résolution non-inflationiste aux problèmes d'entropie et d'horizon. Selon notre scenario fondé sur la théorie des cordes, les trois dimensions spatiales habituelles ainsi que les dimensions supplémentaires s'étendent, mais ces dernières se contractent eventuellement avant de se stabiliser. L'équation d'état de la matière du bulk, qui consiste de branes, est négative. Il y a donc un net gain dans l'énégie totale de l'univers durant la phase de pré-stabilisation. A la fin de cette phase, l'énergie stockée dans les branes est convertie en radiation. Le résultat est un univers tri-dimensionel large et dense. En utilisant des idées similaires, nous proposons un modèle d'inflation qui ne requiert pas d'ajustements fins. Dans ce scénario, la séparation entre les branes, qui joue le rôle de l'inflaton, est la même que le module du volume global. La matière du bulk fournit une phase d'expansion initiale qui pousse l'inflaton vers le haut de son potentiel, réalisant ainsi les conditions pour l'inflation. Le choix spécifique du potentiel de l'inflaton est en accord avec observations cosmologiques. Un autre aspect de ma these adresse le problème cosmologique des champs de module: c'est-à-dire l'existence de particules faiblement couplées dont la désintégration a li

In this dissertation, we review the development of the Higgs mechanism and its importance to the structure of the Standard Model of elementary particles physics from a historical and contemporary point of view. It was emphasized how the introduction of a complex scalar doublet with the gauge symmetries of the model induces some particles to acquire mass. It was presented the context of Higgs boson discovery accomplished in 2012 and possible discrepancies in the results obtained at the Large Hadron Collider which may indicate the possibility of new physics, in particular in the H decay channel. We studied the contributions to the width of this boson decay into two photons with the introduction of new fermionic and scalar particles. A synthesis of computation of this channel width, as well as techniques involved to accomplish it, are presented. Considering the only two dominant contributions, it was estimated a value of 9.165 keV for the decay width, resulting in a branching ratio of 2.24 · 10^{3}.

The main motivation of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is to explore and to discover physics underlying electro-weak asymmetry breaking. Beside this, CMS detector provides an opportunity to do various experiments for detecting new physics signatures beyond the Standard Model (SM). Investigation of these signatures requires the identification and precise energy and moment measurement of electrons, muons, photons, and jets. The objective of this thesis is the calculation of the efficiencies for the measurement of W charge asymmetry in inclusive pp → W (&mgr;υ) production. The charge asymmetry is defined to be the difference between W + and W− bosons, normalized to the sum. This asymmetry is sensitive to the u-quark and d-quark ratios in the proton and precise measurement of the W charge asymmetry can provides new insights to the proton structure functions. Therefore, to improve understanding of SM backgrounds in search for new physics, the moun trigger, isolation, reconstruction, identification efficiencies has been studied using partial data collected by the CMS detector during pp collisions at the LHC in 2011. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.31 fb−1. The efficiencies are measured as functions of the decay muon pseudo rapidity and transverse momentum based on "tag and probe" method. The efficiency measurements are compared to their estimated value from the Monte Carlo simulations so as to provide scaling factors to correct to the residual mis-modeling of the CMS muon performance. The comparison with simulations based on MC simulations opens a gate for validation of the detector simulation and optimization of selection strategies.
