Features of W production in p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions
2017
We consider the production of inclusive W bosons in variety of high-energy hadronic collisions: p--p, p--$\overline{\rm p}$, p--Pb, and Pb--Pb. In particular, we focus on the resulting distributions of charged leptons from W decay that can be measured with relatively low backgrounds. The leading-order expressions within the collinearly factorized QCD indicate that the center-of-mass energy dependence at forward/backward rapidities should be well approximated by a simple power law. The scaling exponent is related to the small-$x$ behaviour of the quark distributions, which is largely driven by the parton evolution. An interesting consequence is the simple scaling law for the lepton charge as…
Evolution of fluctuations in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions from RHIC to LHC
2019
Fluctuations in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions are larger at RHIC energy than at LHC energy. This fact can be inferred from recent measurements of the fluctuations of the particle multiplicities and of elliptic flow performed at the two different energies. We show that an analytical description of the initial energy-density field and its fluctuations motivated by the color glass condensate (CGC) effective theory predicts and quantitatively captures the measured energy evolution of these observables. The crucial feature is that fluctuations in the CGC scale like the inverse of the saturation scale of the nuclei.
Effective theory approaches to heavy meson resonances based on non-perturbative low energy two-meson dynamics
2019
This dissertation provides a theoretical effective description of a special class of hadronic meson states with charm and bottom quark content and their associated phenomenology. The considered states are difficult to be accommodated in CQMs and are candidates to be interpreted as meson molecules. This relies on the assumption that their main properties can be described by means of an effective low energy interaction of two more fundamental mesons. We have paid special attention to the relevant symmetries of QCD and two-body unitarity to construct the low energy effective meson-meson interactions. We have investigated the predictions of the Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) Unitary Heavy Meson Ch…
Measurement of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
2016
The production of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays was measured as a function of transverse momentum (pT) in minimum-bias p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector at the LHC. The measurement covers the pT interval 0.5 < pT < 12 GeV/c and the rapidity range −1.065 < ycms < 0.135 in the centre-of-mass reference frame. The contribution of electrons from background sources was subtracted using an invariant mass approach. The nuclear modification factor RpPb was calculated by comparing the pT-differential invariant cross section in p–Pb collisions to a pp reference at the same centre-of-mass energy, which was obtained by interpolating measurements at √s = 2.76 TeV an…
Event-Shape Engineering for the D-meson elliptic flow in mid-central Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
2019
The production yield of prompt D mesons and their elliptic flow coefficient v2 were measured with the Event-Shape Engineering (ESE) technique applied to mid-central (10–30% and 30–50% centrality classes) Pb-Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √ sNN = 5.02 TeV, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The ESE technique allows the classification of events, belonging to the same centrality, according to the azimuthal anisotropy of soft particle production in the collision. The reported measurements give the opportunity to investigate the dynamics of charm quarks in the Quark-Gluon Plasma and provide information on their participation in the collective expansion of the medium…
Review of Particle Physics
2020
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,143 new measurements from 709 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark photons, etc. Particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, …
Breakdown studies for high-gradient RF warm technology in: CLIC and hadron therapy linacs
2016
La presente tesis se centra en el estudio de las limitaciones, debidas principalmente a fenómenos de breakdowns, en el rendimiento de estructuras aceleradoras de radiofrecuencia (RF) de alto gradiente (HG) y de conductividad normal. La formación de arcos en vacío perturban los campos electromagnéticos de las cavidades, lo cual afecta en la calidad del haz de partículas acelerado. El proyecto de Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) estudia la viabilidad de un colisionador lineal electrón-positrón en la escala de energía centro de masa del TeV, y desarrolla las estructuras aceleradoras de última generación para alcanzar altos gradientes de 100 MV/m con una tasa máxima de fenómenos de breakdowns de …
Measurement of the top quark pair production cross-section with ATLAS in the single lepton channel
2012
A measurement of the production cross-section for top quark pairs (t[bar over t]) in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV is presented using data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events are selected in the single lepton topology by requiring an electron or muon, large missing transverse momentum and at least three jets. With a data sample of 35 pb[superscript −1], two different multivariate methods, one of which uses b-quark jet identification while the other does not, use kinematic variables to obtain cross-section measurements of σ[subscript t bar over t] = 187 ± 11 (stat.) [+18 over −17] (syst.) ± 6 (lumi.) pb and σ[subscript t bar over t] = 173 ± 17 (stat.) [+18 ove…
