Simulations of Quantum Black Hole collisions at the LHC with PYTHIANiblaeus, Carl January 2011 (has links)
In this bachelor's thesis the concept of microscopical black hole production at colliders is investigated. By using extra dimensional models where the value of the Planck mass can be reduced to the TeV scale, gravity can be made stronger at small distances and the Hierarchy problem can be solved. Since gravity is much stronger already at the TeV-scale, there is a possibility that microscopical black holes are produced at the LHC. In this thesis the possibility to produce Quantum Black Holes, black holes with masses around the Planck mass, is implemented in the event generator PYTHIA. Events where the Quantum Black Holes decay into two particles are simulated and studied. A main contribution is successful colour connections between the final states. Something to solve in future simulations is how to give the black holes a spectrum of masses.

Novel Analysis Framework Using Quantum Optomechanical Readouts For Direct Detection Of Dark MatterAshwin Nagarajan (10702782) 06 May 2021 (has links)
With the increase in
speculation about the nature of our universe, there has been a growing need to
find the truth about Dark Matter. Recent research shows that the Planck-Mass
range could be a well-motivated space to probe for the detection of Dark Matter
through gravitational coupling. This thesis dives into the possibility of doing
the same in two parts. The first part lays out the analysis framework that
would sense such an interaction, while the second part outlines a prototype
experiment that when scaled up using quantum optomechanical sensors would serve
as the skeleton to perform the analysis with.
