Analysis Flow at the LHC

This project presents an analysis of gauge couplings and potential deviations from the Standard Model (SM) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), conducted by Kristina Krylova as part of the University of Michigan REU program at CERN. Led by Dr. Paul Bell and Dr. Stephen Gibson, the team focuses on building the detector and analyzing raw data. They employ VBFNLO for theoretical modeling and AlpGenMC for correcting detector and parton shower effects, comparing results with historical data from 2011 and 2012. The project's goal is to conduct signal extraction while navigating challenges such as low cross-sections and significant backgrounds.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Analysis Flow at the LHC University of Michigan REU at CERN Kristina Krylova

  2. Building of the Detector

  3. RAW data Dr. Paul Bell Dr. Stephen Gibson

  4. Reconstructed Data Physics

  5. Why Gauge Couplings? Deviations from SM gauge couplings New physics

  6. Carrying out the Analysis

  7. Signal Extraction • Get analysis started • Use VBFNLO MC theoretical understanding • Use AlpGenMC for detector and parton shower corrections • Compare with 2011 (possibly 2012) data • Issue: low cross section, huge background

  8. In the next months:

  9. Analysis Approval
