A Unified Analysis of the B = 2 System

Oh, Chang-Heon 23 April 1997 (has links)
Results are presented for a unified analysis of the reactions pp → pp, πd → πd and πd → pp over the center-of-mass energy interval from pion threshold to approximately 2.4 GeV. These results for πd → pp and πd elastic scattering are superior to previous VPI analyses of these reactions. In particular, the overall phase in πd → pp has now been determined. Comparisons and predictions are made with previous (separate and unified) analyses of this two-baryon system. Several partial wave amplitudes show resonance-like behavior in these reactions. / Ph. D.

Parallele Kürzung von Rang-k-Matrizen

Drechsler, Florian 23 January 2018 (has links)
Die Kürzung einer Rang-k-Matrix ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Technik der Hierarchischen Matrizen. In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir zwei verschiedene Kürzungsalgorithmen auf ihre Parallelisierbarkeit. Zuerst werden wir die sequentiellen Versionen der Algorithmen einführen, ihre Komplexitat untersuchen und diese Ergebnisse in numerischen Experimenten validieren. Danach parallelisieren wir beide Algorithmen und untersuchen ihr Laufzeitverhalten theoretisch und anhand von numerischen Experimenten auf Rechensystemen mit verteiltem und geteiltem Speicher. Es zeigt sich, dass beide Algorithmen gut parallelisierbar sind, wobei wir bei Rechensystemen mit verteiltem Speicher die Anzahl der verwendeten Prozessoren an die Groesse der zu kuerzenden Matrix anpassen sollten, damit wir einen linearen Speedup erreichen.

Electroweak radiative B-decays as a test of the Standard Model and beyond

Tayduganov, Andrey 05 October 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Recently the radiative B-decay to strange axial-vector mesons, B--> K1(1270) gamma, was observed with a rather large branching ratio. This process is particularly interesting as the subsequent K1-decay into its three-body final state allows us to determine the polarization of the photon, which is mostly left(right)-handed for Bbar(B) in the Standard Model while various new physics models predict additional right(left)-handed components. In this thesis, a new method is proposed to determine the polarization, exploiting the full Dalitz plot distribution, which seems to reduce significantly the statistical errors on the polarization parameter lambda_gamma measurement.This polarization measurement requires, however a detailed knowledge of the K1--> K pi pi strong interaction decays, namely, the complex pattern of the various partial wave amplitudes into several possible quasi-two-body channels as well as their relative phases. A number of experiments have been done to extract all these information while there remain various problems in the previous studies. In this thesis, we investigate the details of these problems. As a theoretical tool, we use the 3P0 quark-pair-creation model in order to improve our understanding of strong K1 decays.Finally we try to estimate some theoretical uncertainties: in particular, the one coming from the uncertainty on the K1 mixing angle, and the effect of a possible ''off-set'' phase in strong decay S-waves. According to our estimations, the systematic errors are found to be of the order of sigma(lambda_gamma)^th<20%. On the other hand, we discuss the sensitivity of the future experiments, namely the SuperB factories and LHCb, to lambda_gamma. Naively estimating the annual signal yields, we found the statistical error of the new method to be sigma(lambda_gamma)^stat<10% which turns out to be reduced by a factor 2 with respect to using the simple angular distribution.We also discuss a comparison to the other methods of the polarization measurement using processes, such as B--> K* e^+ e^-, Bd--> K* gamma and Bs--> phi gamma, for the determination of the ratio of the Wilson coefficients C7gamma^'eff/C7gamma^eff. We show an example of the potential constraints on C7gamma^'eff/C7gamma^eff. in several scenarios of supersymmetric models.

Probing Electroweak Gauge Boson Scattering with the ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider

Anger, Philipp 07 October 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Electroweak gauge bosons as central components of the Standard Model of particle physics are well understood theoretically and have been studied with high precision at past and present collider experiments. The electroweak theory predicts the existence of a scattering process of these particles consisting of contributions from triple and quartic bosonic couplings as well as Higgs boson mediated interactions. These contributions are not separable in a gauge invariant way and are only unitarized in the case of a Higgs boson as it is described by the Standard Model. The process is tied to the electroweak symmetry breaking which introduces the longitudinal modes for the massive electroweak gauge bosons. A study of this interaction is also a direct verification of the local gauge symmetry as one of the fundamental axioms of the Standard Model. With the start of the Large Hadron Collider and after collecting proton-proton collision data with an integrated luminosity of 20.3/fb at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector, first-ever evidence for this process could be achieved in the context of this work. A study of leptonically decaying WWjj, same-electric-charge diboson production in association with two jets resulted in an observation of the electroweak WWjj production with same electric charge of the W bosons, inseparably comprising WW->WW electroweak gauge boson scattering contributions, with a significance of 3.6 standard deviations. The measured production cross section is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction. In the course of a study for leptonically decaying WZ productions, methods for background estimation, the extraction of systematic uncertainties and cross section measurements were developed. They were extended and applied to the WZjj final state whereof the purely electroweakly mediated contribution is intrinsically tied to the scattering of all Standard Model electroweak gauge bosons: Wγ->WZ and WZ->WZ. Three charged leptons and a neutrino from the decay of the final state bosons allow inferences about the scattering process. A distinct signature is provided by the two accompanying tagging jets as remnants of the incoming quarks radiating the initial electroweak gauge bosons. The cross section of the electroweak WZjj production was measured to σ(fiducial, observed) = (0.63 +0.32 -0.28 (stat.) +0.41 -0.24 (syst.)) fb and was found to be consistent with the Standard Model prediction at next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, σ(fiducial, theory) = (0.31 +0.03 -0.05) fb. Unfolded differential cross sections of kinematic variables sensitive to models of new physics were derived. Anomalous quartic electroweak gauge couplings are introduced as dimensionless coupling parameters of additional operators within an effective field theory approach. Constraints on the parameters of operators with dimension eight were set employing a unitarization prescription based on form factors.

Electroweak radiative B-decays as a test of the Standard Model and beyond / Désintégrations radiatives faibles de mésons B comme un test du Modèle Standard et au-delà.

Tayduganov, Andrey 05 October 2011 (has links)
La désintégration radiative du méson B en méson étrange axiale, B--> K1(1270) gamma, a été observée récemment avec un rapport d'embranchement assez grand que B--> K* gamma. Ce processus est particulièrement intéressant car la désintégration du K1 dans un état final à trois corps nous permet de déterminer la polarisation du photon, qui est surtout gauche (droit) pour Bbar(B) dans le Modèle Standard tandis que des modèles divers de nouvelle physique prédisent une composante droite (gauche) supplémentaire. Dans cette thèse, une nouvelle méthode est proposée pour déterminer la polarisation, en exploitant la distribution totale du Dalitz plot, qui semble réduire considérablement les erreurs statistiques de la mesure du paramètre de la polarisation lambda_gamma.Cependant, cette mesure de la polarisation nécessite une connaissance détaillée de la désintégration forte K1--> K pi pi : c'est-à-dire l'ensemble complexe des différentes amplitudes d'ondes partielles en plusieurs canaux en quasi-deux-corps ainsi que leurs phases relatives. Un certain nombre d'expériences ont été faites pour extraire ces informations bien qu'il reste divers problèmes dans ces études. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions en détail ces problèmes en nous aidant d'un modèle théorique. Nous utilisons ainsi le modèle 3P0 de création d'une paire de quarks pour améliorer notre compréhension des désintégrations fortes du K1.A partir de ce modèle nous estimons les incertitudes théoriques : en particulier, celle venant de l'incertitude de l'angle de mélange du K1, et celle due à l'effet d'une phase ``off-set'' dans les désintégrations fortes en ondes-S. Selon nos estimations, les erreurs systématiques se trouvent être de l'ordre de sigma(lambda_gamma)^th<20%. D'autre part nous discutons de la sensibilité des expériences futures, notamment les usines SuperB et LHCb, pour lambda_gamma. En estimant naïvement les taux annuels d'évènements, nous trouvons que l'erreur statistique de la nouvelle méthode est sigma(lambda_gamma)^stat<10%, ce qui est deux fois plus petit qu'en utilisant seulement les distributions angulaires simples.Nous discutons également de la comparaison avec les autres méthodes de mesure de la polarisation en utilisant les processus tels que B--> K* e^+ e^-, Bd--> K* gamma et Bs--> phi gamma, pour la détermination du rapport des coefficients de Wilson C7gamma^‘eff/C7gamma^eff. Nous montrons un exemple de contraintes possibles sur C7gamma^‘eff/C7gamma^eff dans plusieurs scénarios de modèles supersymétriques. / Recently the radiative B-decay to strange axial-vector mesons, B--> K1(1270) gamma, was observed with a rather large branching ratio.
