Search for Axion-Like Particles at the NA62 experiment / Search for Axion-Like Particles at the NA62 experimentJerhot, Jan January 2019 (has links)
The thesis instructively presents axions and axion-like particles as a plau- sible extension of the Standard Model of particle physics and discusses also the cosmological implications in the case of their existence as they present one of the most favourable dark matter candidates at given circumstances. The main part of the thesis is concerned with a search for axion-like particles at the NA62 experiment at CERN and a study of the gathered data and its impact on the data analysis.

Resolution Improvements and Physical Modelling of a Straw Tracker : The NA62 Experiment at CERNSkogeby, Richard January 2017 (has links)
Lab measurements and Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out for the evaluation of the Straw-type detectors used in the NA62 experiment at CERN. In addition, analyses of experiment data was used in corrections to improve the reconstruction of particle tracks, ultimately leading to improved resolution of the detector system as a whole. 97.7 percent of the Straws were aligned to within 30 microns, quantified as the deviation from zero of the mean of the inherent residual distribution of each Straw. A drift time dependence on where along the Straw the particle ionized have been corrected for; before the correction the dependence was as big as 6 ns. A radius-drift time relation based on the leading edge timing distribution has been deduced and implemented. Upon implementation artifacts from the piecewise fits used became evident. An alternative approach using residuals has been put forward.
