Estadística en física de partícules: El seu paper en el descobriment del bosó de Higgs
2014
L’estadistica ha representat un paper d’enorme importancia en el desenvolupament de la fisica de particules, pionera de l’anomenada «gran ciencia». La seua aplicacio ha evolucionat al compas dels progressos tecnologics, que han permes passar de registrar uns pocs centenars de «successos» a registrar-ne milers de milions. Aquest article discuteix sobre com s’ha resolt el problema de la manipulacio d’aquestes quantitats massives de dades i com s’han utilitzat les principals eines estadistiques des dels anys 1990 per a cercar senyals cada vegada mes petits ocults entre un soroll de fons cada vegada major. Molts experiments en la historia de la fisica de particules podrien il·lustrar el paper q…
Complete One-Loop Renormalization of the Higgs-Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian
2018
The electroweak sector of the Standard Model can be formulated in a way similar to Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), but extended by a singlet scalar. The resulting effective field theory (EFT) is called Higgs-Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian (EWCh$\mathcal{L}$) and is the most general approach to new physics in the Higgs sector. It solely assumes the pattern of symmetry breaking leading to the three electroweak Goldstone bosons (i.e. massive $W$ and $Z$) and the existence of a Higgs-like scalar particle. The power counting of the EWCh$\mathcal{L}$ is given by a generalization of the momentum expansion of ChPT. It is connected to a loop expansion, making the theory renormalizable order by ord…

Search for supersymmetry in events with photons, bottom quarks, and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energ…
2013
A search has been performed for the experimental signature of an isolated photon with high transverse momentum, at least one jet identified as originating from a bottom quark, and high missing transverse momentum. Such a final state may originate from supersymmetric models with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking in events in which one of a pair of higgsino-like neutralinos decays into a photon and a gravitino while the other decays into a Higgs boson and a gravitino. The search is performed using the full dataset of 7 TeV proton–proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2011, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1. A total of 7 candidate events are o…
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, …

Efficiencies of the MLP selection, complete selection and total expected signal yields for each signal sample, assuming B$(H\to Z(Q/a))=100\%$ and $\sigma(pp\to H) = \sigma_\text{SM}(pp\to H)$. Pythia 8 branching fractions of $a$ are assumed using a $\tan\beta$ value of 1. The MLP efficiencies, total efficiencies, and expected yields are determined using MC samples, with uncertainties due to MC sample statistics, except for the expected background yield. The expected background yield and its uncertainty is calculated as described in the main text of the paper.

Measurement of the Higgs boson coupling with tau leptons and search for an additional neutral MSSM Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector
2018
El Modelo Estándar de física de partículas (SM), la teoría que describe el comportamiento de las partículas subatómicas, ha sido un éxito en su precisión y exactitud. Uno de sus pilares básicos es el mecanismo de Higgs, que regula los términos de masa de las partículas fundamentales. La partícula responsable de este mecanismo es el bosón de Higgs, que fue descubierto en 2012 en los experimentos ATLAS y CMS del colisionador de partículas LHC del CERN, mediante el análisis de su acoplamiento a partículas bosónicas (fotones y bosones W y Z). Tras su descubrimiento, es necesario confirmar que el resto sus propiedades se corresponden con las predichas por el SM, como, por ejemplo, su acoplamient…
Search for the Decay of the Higgs Boson to Charm Quarks with the ATLAS Experiment
2018
A direct search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a pair of charm quarks is presented. Associated production of the Higgs and Z bosons, in the decay mode ZH→ℓ+ℓ−c¯c is studied. A data set with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 of pp collisions at √s=13TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC is used. The H→c¯c signature is identified using charm-tagging algorithms. The observed (expected) upper limit on σ(pp→ZH)×B(H→c¯c) is 2.7 (3.9+2.1−1.1) pb at the 95% confidence level for a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, while the standard model value is 26 fb.
