Matéria escura como uma extensão Higgs-Stueckelberg do modelo padrãoSantos, Alexander Lunkes dos January 2015 (has links)
Partículas massivas fracamente interagentes (WIMPs) são um dos mais atrativos candidatos para a matéria escura. Tais partículas são também muito promissoras em termos de detecção direta e indireta, pois elas devem possuir alguma conexão com as partículas do Modelo Padrão. Nesse contexto, extensões do Modelo Padrão podem introduzir candidatos para essas partículas de matéria escura. Propomos um modelo de extensão dupla para descrever as WIMPs, também chamadas de partículas escuras. Essa extensão é feita adicionando dois grupos de simetrias de calibre U(1) ao Modelo Padrão, um via mecanismo de Stueckelberg e o outro via mecanismo de Higgs. O mecanismo de Stueckelberg é um dos caminhos para garantir a invariância de calibre em bósons vetoriais massivos. Então, obtemos dois novos bósons de calibre, um chamado Z′ que é massivo e o outro γ′ (fóton escuro), que não possui massa e não interage com partículas do Modelo Padrão. A densidade de relíquia obtida experimentalmente pelas sondas espaciais WMAP e Planck auxilia na obtenção do valor mais provável para a massa do WIMP e, assim, podemos fixar outros parâmetros importantes para o modelo. Fazemos uma estimativa do impacto da presença de matéria escura e, principalmente, da emissão de fótons escuros no resfriamento de anãs brancas e de estrelas de nêutrons. Alguns resultados e perspectivas são apresentados. / Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are one of the most attractive candidates for dark matter. Such particles also are very promising in terms of direct and indirect detection, because they must have some connection to Standard Model (SM) particles. In this context, extensions of the SM can introduce candidates for these dark matter particles. In this sense, we propose a double extension model to describe the weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) or sometimes called dark particles. This extension is done by adding two extra U(1) gauge groups to the Standard Model, one via Stueckelberg mechanism and the other via Higgs mechanism. The Stueckelberg mechanism is one of the ways to ensure gauge invariance . Then we get two new gauge bosons, one called Z′ which is massive and the other γ′ (dark photon), which is massless and does not interact with the Standard Model particles. The relic density experimentally obtained by the WMAP and Planck spacecrafts will help in getting the most likely value for the mass of the WIMP and we can thus set other important parameters for the model. We estimate the impact of the presence of dark matter, and especially dark photon emission, in the cooling of white dwarfs and neutron stars. Some results and perspectives are presented.

Electroweak boson production at small transverse momentum in hadron collisionsKulesza, Anna K. January 2000 (has links)
The resummation of double-logarithmic perturbative contributions produced by soft- gluon radiation (Sudakov resummation) has proved to be an important tool for enlarging the applications of perturbative QCD to a wider range of kinematical regions. In particular, a complete description of W and Z boson production at high-energy hadron colliders requires the resummation of large double logarithms that dominate the transverse momentum (p(_r)) distribution at small p(_r). This can be performed either directly in transverse momentum space or in impact parameter (Fourier transform) b space. The b space method succeeds in resumming all the leading and sub-leading logarithmic terms, but does not allow a smooth transition to fixed-order dominance at high transverse momenta. In contrast, the pr space approach experiences difficulties with resumming more sub-leading logarithms. This thesis concentrates on developing the p(_r) space formalism which completely resums the first four towers of logarithms. The number of fully resummed towers is the same as for the b space method. The results are compared, both analytically and numerically, with the original b space result as well as with results of other p(_r) space methods. Parametrization of the non-perturbative effects in p(_r) space is discussed. Given recent Tevatron data on Z boson production we find good agreement between the data and the theoretical predictions. Using the same formalism, the transverse momentum distributions are also calculated for W and Z boson production at the LHC. Finally, we discuss production of like-sign W pair production in the context of double parton scattering at the LHC.

Measurement of Z boson production in association with jets at the LHC and study of a DAQ system for the Triple-GEM detector in view of the CMS upgradeLeonard, Alexandre 10 June 2015 (has links)
This PhD thesis presents the measurement of the differential cross section for the production of a Z boson in association with jets in proton-proton collisions taking place at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. A development of a data acquisition (DAQ) system for the Triple-Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector in view of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector upgrade is also presented.<p><p>The events used for the data analysis were collected by the CMS detector during the year 2012 and constitute a sample of 19:6 fb-& / Doctorat en Sciences / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
