Characterizing Quirky SignalsForsyth, Joshua D. 12 December 2023 (has links) (PDF)
Large collider facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) employ a variety of search methods in hopes of finding new particles. It may be that new physics beyond the SM is waiting to be discovered at energies accessible to the LHC. Quirks are particles charged under a new confining gauge group with masses much larger than their confinement scale. This project details the dynamics of quirks, as well as the production and decay of electrically charged bound states of scalar quirks. The cross section for these states is compared to existing Wγ resonance searches at the LHC. Such a state is above the most sensitive LHC search up to an invariant mass of about M ≲ 640 GeV.
