Measurement of W+W− production cross section in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Dutta, Baishali 24 August 2018 (has links)
Diese Arbeit stellt eine Messung des W+W- Produktionswirkungsquerschnitts in pp Kollisionen bei einer Schwerpunktenergie von √s = 13 TeV vor. Der verwendete Datensatz wurde mit dem ATLAS Detektor im Jahr 2015 aufgezeichnet und entspricht einer integrierten Luminosität von 3,16 fb-1. Die W+W- Ereignisse werden über leptonische Zerfälle der W-Bosonen selektiert, wobei jeweils eines der W Bosonen in ein Elektron und ein Elektronneutrino und das andere in ein Myon und ein Myonneutrino zerfällt. Der gemessene Wirkungsquerschnitt in einem Referenzphasenraum, der nahe der Detektorakzeptanz definiert ist, beträgt σ (fiducial, W+W-) = 529 ± 20 (stat.) ± 50 (syst.) ± 11 (lumi.) fb. Das Ergebnis stimmt innerhalb der Fehlergrenzen mit der besten verfügbaren Standardmodell-Vorhersage von 478 ± 17 fb überein. Die kinematischen Verteilungen der im Zerfall der beiden W Bosonen produzierten Leptonen wurden genauer untersucht, um die drei- Eichbosonenkopplung bei den WWγ und WWZ Vertizes zu messen. Abweichungen dieser Kopplungen vom Standardmodell können ein Hinweis auf neue Physik sein. Für die Größen, welche diese anomalen Kopplungen parametrisieren, wurden Konfidenzintervalle berechnet. Die beobachteten Kopplungen stimmen mit dem Standardmodell überein. / This thesis presents a measurement of W+W- production cross section with the pp collision data collected at the ATLAS detector in the year of 2015. The dataset corresponds to a centre-of-mass collision energy of √s = 13 TeV with a total integrated luminosity of 3.16 fb-1. The W+W- signal events are selected using a signature where one of the W bosons decays into an electron and an electron neutrino while the other produces a muon with an associated muon neutrino. The measured cross section in the chosen fiducial phase space close to detector acceptance is σ (fiducial, W+W-) = 529 ± 20 (stat.) ± 50 (syst.) ± 11 (lumi.) fb. The result within the assigned uncertainties is compatible with the best available Standard Model prediction of 478 ± 17 fb. The observed kinematic spectrums of the produced leptons from the decay of the two W bosons are further investigated to study the triple gauge boson couplings at the WWγ und WWZ vertices. The deviation of these couplings from the Standard Model can probe the existence of new physics. The confidence intervals have been calculated for the parameters representing these anomalous couplings. The observations are consistent with the Standard Model expectations.

Anisotropie und Magnetostriktion als Korrekturen zum Heisenberg-Modell am Beispiel des Moleküls {Ni4Mo12}

Brüger, Mirko 25 September 2008 (has links)
Das Standart-Modell zur Beschreibung von Observablen magnetischer Moleküle ist das Heisenberg-Modell. In diesem wird der Magnetismus des Superaustausches der Elektronen durch einfache bilineare Spin-Spin-Kopplungen beschrieben. Zur genaueren Approximation experimenteller Ergebnisse können, der jeweiligen Struktur des Moleküls entsprechend, verschiedene Erweiterungen des Heisenberg-Modells verwendet werden. Diese werden, explizit für das 4-Spin-System {Ni4Mo12}, in ihren Auswirkungen auf die Hochtemperatur-Nullfeldsuszeptibilität, die Nullfeldsuszeptibilität und die Hochfeldmagnetisierung betrachtet. Die wesentlichen Erweiterungen sind dabei die Einzelionen-Anisotropie, die Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya-Anisotropie und die allgemeinen Kopplungen zweiter Ordnung. Letztere stellen eine Verallgemeinerung der bekannten biquadratischen Kopplungen dar und werden im Rahmen eines magneto-elastischen Modells hergeleitet. Dabei ergeben sich unterschiedliche Einschränkungen der Kopplungsmatrix zweiter Ordnung für starre und flexible Molekülstrukturen. Speziell für {Ni4Mo12} entsprechen die Ergebnisse numerischer Simulationen von Messwerten einer Strukturänderung im externen Magnetfeld.

DFTBephy: A DFTB-based approach for electron–phonon coupling calculations

Croy, Alexander, Unsal, Elif, Biele, Robert, Pecchia, Alessandro 02 May 2024 (has links)
The calculation of the electron–phonon coupling from first principles is computationally very challenging and remains mostly out of reach for systems with a large number of atoms. Semi-empirical methods, like density functional tight binding (DFTB), provide a framework for obtaining quantitative results at moderate computational costs. Herein, we present a new method based on the DFTB approach for computing electron–phonon couplings and relaxation times. It interfaces with PHONOPY for vibrational modes and DFTB+ to calculate transport properties. We derive the electron–phonon coupling within a non-orthogonal tight-binding framework and apply them to graphene as a test case.

Predictions for the Search for AnomalousCouplings of Gauge Bosons and Leptons ine^+e^- - scattering

Biebel, Jochen 30 April 2001 (has links)
Die Auswirkungen von anomalen Kopplungen bei den Prozessen der W-Paar- und der ZZ-Erzeugung werden untersucht. Analytische Ausdruecke fuer die differentiellen Wirkungsquerschnitte werden fuer beide Prozesse abgeleitet und numerische Ergebnisse werden praesentiert. Die analytischen Ergebnisse zur W-Paarerzeugung wurden in das Fortranprogramm GENTLE eingebaut, waehrend die Ergebnisse zur ZZ-Erzeugung in einem separaten Program ZAC zur Verfuegung stehen. Die numerischen Resultate werden mit den Vorhersagen des Standardmodells verglichen. Bei der W-Paarerzeugung sind Strahlungskorrekturen durch den Strukturfunktionszugang im Rahmen der Anfangszustandsabstrahlung beruecksichtig worden. Die Auswirkungen eines anomalen magnetischen Momentes a_tau des tau-Leptons auf die Endzustandsabstrahlung im Prozess der tau-Paarproduktion bei LEP1 wurden untersucht. Dieser Prozess erlaubt die Bestimmung des experimentellen Limits fuer das anomale magnetische Moment a_tau. Als ein Ergebnis erhalten wir, dass Beitraege, die linear in a_tau sind und als klein angesehen wurden, bei den heutigen Limits nicht mehr vernachlaessigt werden koennen. / Predictions are made for the effects of anomalous couplings in the processes of W-pair and ZZ production. Analytical expressions for the differential cross-sections are derived in both cases and numerical results are presented. The analytical results for W-pair production were implemented into the Fortran program GENTLE, while the ZZ production results are available in the stand-alone program ZAC. The numerical results are compared with the Standard Model predictions. For W-pair production radiative corrections are considered by using the structure function approach for the description of initial state radiation. Effects of an anomalous magnetic moment a_tau of the tau-lepton to the final state radiation in the process of tau-pair production at LEP1 are examined. This process allows to determine experimental limits for the anomalous magnetic moment of the tau. As a result we find that contributions linear in a_tau, which were believed to be small, cannot be neglegted at the present limits.

Measurement of Electroweak Gauge Boson Scattering in the Channel pp → W ± W ± jj with the ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider / Messung der Streuung von elektroschwachen Eichbosonen im Kanal pp → W ± W ± jj mit dem ATLAS Detektor am Large Hadron Collider

Gumpert, Christian 17 April 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Particle physics deals with the elementary constituents of our universe and their interactions. The electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism in the Standard Model of Particle Physics is of paramount importance and it plays a central role in the physics programmes of current high-energy physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. The study of scattering processes of massive electroweak gauge bosons provides an approach complementary to the precise measurement of the properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson. Owing to the unprecedented energies achieved in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider and the large amount of data collected, experimental studies of these processes become feasible for the first time. Especially the scattering of two W± bosons of identical electric charge is considered a promising process for an initial study due to its distinct experimental signature. In the course of this work, 20.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 8 TeV are analysed. An analysis of the production of two W± bosons of identical electric charge in association with two jets, pp → W ± W ± jj, is conducted in the leptonic decay channel of the W± bosons. Thereby, emphasis is put on the development of methods for the estimation of experimental backgrounds as well as on the optimisation of the event selection. As a result of this work, first experimental evidence for the existence of the aforementioned process is established with an observed significance of 4.9. Based on the number of observed events in the selected phase space the extracted fiducial cross section is σ(fid) = (2.3 ± 0.5(stat.) +0.4/−0.3 (sys.)) fb which is in agreement with the prediction of the Standard Model of σ(fid,SM) = (1.6 ± 0.2) fb. Of particular theoretical interest are electroweak contributions to the pp → W ± W ± jj process due to their sensitivity to the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. Criteria for a dedicated event selection are investigated and implemented in the analysis with the goal of enhancing the sensitivity to these contributions. First experimental evidence for the presence of electroweak contributions to the pp → W ± W ± jj process can be claimed with an observed significance of 4.1. The cross section extracted in the selected phase space region is found to be σ(fid) = (1.7 +0.5/−0.4 (stat.) ± 0.3(sys.)) fb which is 1.3 standard deviations above the theoretical prediction of the Standard Model of σ(fid,SM) = (1.0 ± 0.1) fb. A variety of extensions to the Standard Model predict modifications to the electroweak gauge sector. In the context of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian, which serves as an effective approximation of these theories in the energy regime E = 1 − 3 TeV, anomalous contributions to the quartic WWWW gauge coupling can be described by the parameters α4 and α5 . The selection of events is optimised again to enhance the sensitivity to these two parameters. On the basis of the number of events observed in this phase space region, the following one-dimensional confidence intervals at the 95% confidence level are derived: −0.09 ≤ α4 ≤ 0.10 and −0.15 ≤ α5 ≤ 0.15. At present, these limits represent the most stringent constraints on contributions from new physics processes to the quartic WWWW gauge coupling.
