  • Neutral Strangeness Production with the ZEUS Detector at HERA
    Neutral Strangeness Production with the ZEUS Detector at HERA Chuanlei Liu Department of Physics McGill University, Montreal, QC Canada January 2007 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Chuanlei Liu, 2007 Abstract ¯ 0 The inclusive production of the neutral strange particles, Λ, Λ and KS, has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The measurement provides a way to understand the fragmentation process in ep collisions and to check the universality of this process. The strangeness cross sections have been measured and compared with Monte Carlo (MC) predictions. Over the kinematic regions of interest, no Λ ¯ 0 to Λ asymmetry was observed. The relative yield of Λ and KS was determined and the result was compared with MC calculations and results from other experiments. A good agreement was found except for the enhancement in the photoproduction process. Clear rapidity correlation was observed for particle pairs where either quark 0 0 flavor or baryon number compensation occurs. The KSKS Bose-Einstein correlation measurement gives a result consistent with those from LEP measurements. The Λ polarizations were measured to be consistent with zero for HERA I data. i ii Abstract Abstract in French ¯ 0 La mesure de production inclusive des particules ´etranges neutres Λ, Λ et KS avec le d´etecteur ZEUS a` HERA permet de comprendre le processus de fragmentation dans les collisions ep et de v´erifier son universalit´e.

  • Top Quark Physics in the Large Hadron Collider Era
    Top Quark Physics in the Large Hadron Collider era Michael Russell Particle Physics Theory Group, School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Glasgow September 2017 arXiv:1709.10508v2 [hep-ph] 31 Jan 2018 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract We explore various aspects of top quark phenomenology at the Large Hadron Collider and proposed future machines. After summarising the role of the top quark in the Standard Model (and some of its well-known extensions), we discuss the formulation of the Standard Model as a low energy effective theory. We isolate the sector of this effective theory that pertains to the top quark and that can be probed with top observables at hadron colliders, and present a global fit of this sector to currently available data from the LHC and Tevatron. Various directions for future improvement are sketched, including analysing the potential of boosted observables and future colliders, and we highlight the importance of using complementary information from different colliders. Interpretational issues related to the validity of the effective field theory formulation are elucidated throughout. Finally, we present an application of artificial neural network algorithms to identifying highly- boosted top quark events at the LHC, and comment on further refinements of our analysis that can be made. 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost I must thank my supervisors, Chris White and Christoph Englert, for their endless support, inspiration and encouragement throughout my PhD. They always gave me enough freedom to mature as a researcher, whilst providing the occasional neces- sary nudge to keep me on the right track.

Przybycieri, M. Zachara, L. Zawiejski (physicists) and J. Andruszkow, B. Dajarowski, W. Daniluk, P. Jurkiewicz, A. Kotarba, K. Oliwa. W. Wierba (engineers and technicians) Third year of HERA operation was a very successful one for the HERA crew. Experiments (ZEUS and HI) collected more than 3pb~1 of the integrated luminosity compared to ()00nb~^ in the previous year. Higher luminosity means also higher rates and higher background. That created new problems for our experiment at the beginning of the running period. The common effort of all groups taking care of the different detector components resulted in a smooth and successful running of the ZEUS experiment. The main responsibility of the Cracow group is the reliable performance of the Luminosity Monitor, which has been designed and built by our group. That means the maintenance of the detector, continuous development of the online and offline software tools and the luminosity measurement itself. A very detailed offline analysis of the 1993 luminosity data was done in 1994. This resulted in much better understanding of the systematic effects influencing the luminosity measurement. The systematic error in the determination of the integrated luminosity is now below 2.5%. Modification of the hardware setup, especially replacement of the photomultipliers in the calorimeters, made during the 1993/1994 winter shutdown, allowed for more stable opera- tion in the 1994 running period. Much improvement has also been achieved in both offline and online software.

E. Sinclair for the ZEUS Collaboration Abstract In the ZEUS experiment at HERA, photoproduction processes have been studied for photon-proton <W < Ejet ∼ centre-of-mass energies in the range 100 γp 300 GeV and jet transverse energies extending to T 70 GeV. The data contribute to our understanding of QCD dynamics, and also provide new constraints on the photon’s parton density. arXiv:hep-ex/9810044v1 27 Oct 1998 talk given at the XXIX International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP ’98) Vancouver, Canada. August, 1998. 1 Introduction There has been tremendous progress in the understanding of photon induced reactions since the start of HERA operation. Up to the end of 1994, HERA had delivered a total of 7 pb−1 of ep data. The analysis of this data was fruitful. ZEUS was able to clearly establish evidence for both the direct and the resolved classes of process. These are illustrated at leading order (LO) in Figure’s 1(a) and (b). - e- e e- p p p (a) (b) (c) Figure 1: Examples of leading order diagrams for (a) direct photoproduction, (b) resolved photoproduction and (c) direct prompt photon photoproduction.

Februar 2008 Abstract This thesis presents a measurement of beauty photoproduction in ep√interac- tions at the HERA collider working at a center of mass energy of s = 318 GeV. During the HERA luminosity upgrade period 2000/2001 the track- ing system of the ZEUS detector was enhanced with a silicon Micro Vertex Detector (MVD). The implementation of the MVD provides high precision measurements that allow new identification techniques of the beauty quarks based on their heavy mass and long lifetime. Two goals are followed in this thesis: first the development of a reliable algorithm (secondary vertex b- tagging) to identify jets originating from b quarks by exploiting exclusively the full MVD potential and the properties of the b quark, and second the de- termination of its performance by obtaining first measurements of inclusive beauty dijet photoproduction. The main result presented here is based on a data set collected in 2004 cor- responding to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb−1.

  • Leading Neutron Production at ZEUS
    Leading Neutron Production at ZEUS W. Schmidke Max Planck Institute for Physics Munich, Germany ZEUS results on leading neutron production in ep scattering are presented. Production in deep inelastic scattering and photoproduction are compared, giving indications of absorption. The data are compared to Monte Carlo, meson exchange and absorption models. 1 Introduction Events with a neutron carrying a large fraction of the proton energy have been observed in ep scattering at HERA [1]. The dynamical mechanisms for their production are not completely understood. They may be the result of hadronization of the proton remnant, conserving baryon number in the final state. Exchange of virtual isovector mesons is also expected to contribute, predominantly the exchange of low mass π+ mesons [2]. In this picture the proton fluctuates into a virtual n-π+ state. The virtual π+ scatters with the projectile lepton, leaving the fast forward neutron in the final state. Depending on the virtuality of the exchanged photon, which is a measure of how pointlike the photon is, the neutron may also rescatter with it and migrate to a region outside of the detector acceptance, leading to a depletion of neutrons in some kinematic regions [3]. The ZEUS experiment at HERA had a for- ward neutron calorimeter (FNC) in the pro- ZEUS L ton beam direction.
