After an introductory lecture, tests of the Standard Model and measurements of its parameters (like the mass of the top quark) at hadron colliders are presented. In addition, it will be discussed how the Higgs boson can be searched for at hadron colliders and how "New Physics", i.e. physics beyond the Standard Model, can be explored. Results are presented from the currently ongoing run at the Tevatron proton antiproton collider at the US research lab Fermilab. In addition, the rich physics potential of the experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider is discussed. Prerequisite knowledge and references: - The Standard Model (Lecture by A.

Centre, the beam fine which sends high energy protons from the SPS towards the West Experimental Area. The main ring is on the left. (Photo CERN 38.4.81) On 7 July a pulse of antiprotons was sent to the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron, accelerated to 270 GeV and (briefly) stored. Two days later the exercise was repeated with greater success and the first evi­ dence obtained for proton-antipro­ ton collisions at 540 GeV — by far the highest collision energies ever achieved. Although there is still much to be done before the scheme becomes fully operational, this achievement is a major milestone in the CERN antiproton story. The origins of the project Antiprotons, since they presuma­ bly have the same properties as protons except for the sign of their electric charge, can be accelerated and stored in the same magnet ring as protons. Thus colliding beam sys­ tems, like the familiar electron-posi­ tron machines, are, in principle, fea­ sible.

However I have to start with three disclaimers: B Most of the subject is now history, but I am not an historian, I hope the main core will be exact but I may err on some details. • Being an experimentalist, I will mostly focus on the main exper- imental results, giving, when appropriate, some emphasis to the role of well conceived apparatus. This does not mean that I min- imise the key role of theorist, it only reflects the fact that the same story told by a theorist would correspond to another interesting series of lectures. • Finally, in some cases, I may show a bias coming from the fact that I have seen from closer what has happened in Europe.

As CERN’s 60th-anniversary year comes to an end, CERN Courier gives a voice to some of the organization’s pioneers who are no longer with us. Extracts from audio recordings in CERN’s archives bring to life the spirit of adventure of the early CERN. One of the studies that CERN pioneered was the measurement of the “g-2” parameter of the muon – an experiment that in its latest incarnation is setting up in Fermilab. The year also saw the 50th anniversary of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, and an interview with the centre’s current director reveals interesting similarities and contrasts between the two organizations.

  • The Discovery of the W and Z Particles
    June 16, 2015 15:44 60 Years of CERN Experiments and Discoveries – 9.75in x 6.5in b2114-ch06 page 137 The Discovery of the W and Z Particles Luigi Di Lella1 and Carlo Rubbia2 1Physics Department, University of Pisa, 56127 Pisa, Italy [email protected] 2GSSI (Gran Sasso Science Institute), 67100 L’Aquila, Italy [email protected] This article describes the scientific achievements that led to the discovery of the weak intermediate vector bosons, W± and Z, from the original proposal to modify an existing high-energy proton accelerator into a proton–antiproton collider and its implementation at CERN, to the design, construction and operation of the detectors which provided the first evidence for the production and decay of these two fundamental particles. 1. Introduction The first experimental evidence in favour of a unified description of the weak and electromagnetic interactions was obtained in 1973, with the observation of neutrino interactions resulting in final states which could only be explained by assuming that the interaction was mediated by the exchange of a massive, electrically neutral virtual particle.1 Within the framework of the Standard Model, these observations provided a determination of the weak mixing angle, θw, which, despite its large experimental uncertainty, allowed the first quantitative prediction for the mass values of the weak bosons, W± and Z. The numerical values so obtained ranged from 60 to 80 GeV for the W mass, and from 75 to 92 GeV for the Z mass, too large to be accessible by any accelerator in operation at that time.

  • Jet Physics in the ATLAS Experiment At
    Jet Physics in the ATLAS experiment at LHC Vincenzo Cavasinni on behalf of the ATLAS Collaboration Dipartimento di fisica `E.Fermi' and INFN Pisa, ITALY E-mail: [email protected] Jet physics represents a powerful tool to investigate the properties of quark and gluon interactions. With the advent of LHC, these studies have been possible at an energy never investigated before. In this proceedings we review the main char- acteristics of jets measured by the ATLAS experiment in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the Quantum Chromodymamics, QCD, the standard theory of quark-gluon interactions. A good agreement is found between data and QCD predictions. The jet mesurements provide also a clue in the search for new physics: a few examples of searches for excited quarks and supersymmetric particles are presented. 1 Introduction The proton-proton collider LHC started operations at at center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV in 2010. ATLAS, one of the two multipurpose experiments, has collected an integrated luminosity of ≈ 40pb−1 in 2010 and ≈ 5fb−1 in 2011 . Jet production, consequence of the fragmentation of quarks and gluons in hadronic collisions, is the high-pT process with the highest cross section. Their measurement allows a direct access to the elementary interactions between the constituents of the incoming protons. The emergence of jets in hadron collisions has been proved by the UA2 experiment at ATL-PHYS-PROC-2012-152 30 August 2012 the CERN pp¯ Collider in 1983 [1].

  • The Light Gluino Gap Arxiv:1803.01880V1 [Hep-Ph] 5 Mar
    Prepared for submission to JHEP The Light Gluino Gap Jared A. Evansa;b and David McKeenc aDepartment of Physics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA bDepartment of Physics, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio 45221, USA cPittsburgh Particle Physics, Astrophysics, and Cosmology Center, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, USA E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: A variety of experimental searches and theoretical efforts have constrained gluinos that undergo an all-hadronic decay with no missing energy, as can arise in R-parity violating or stealth supersymmetry. Although the g~ ! jj decay is robustly excluded, there is gap in current experimental coverage for gluinos with masses between 51–76 GeV that decay into three light-flavor quarks. In this work, we probe this gap with published multi-jet data from the UA2 experiment. Despite setting the strongest current limit on this region, we find that UA2 data is unable to close this gap for g~ ! jjj decays. In addition to this three-jet gap, we note an additional gap for all- hadronic g~ ! n parton decays with n ≥ 4 for light gluinos (51 GeV < mg~ . 300 GeV) not covered by the current search program. arXiv:1803.01880v1 [hep-ph] 5 Mar 2018 Contents 1 Introduction1 2 The UA2 Experiment4 3 Limits on gluinos from multi-jets6 4 Discussion7 1 Introduction The large hadron collider (LHC) has pushed the lower bound on the gluino mass to above 1 TeV for nearly any decay path [1], and for particular decay paths, limits are above 2 TeV; see, e.g., [2].

The scene was set last March /hen the ambitious attempt to ramp protons and antiprotons up and down between 100 and 450 GeV in the SPS was imme­ diately successful, providing the first glimpse of physics at collision energies of 900 GeV. In June came a short special run for the UA4 elastic scattering experiment. The main 1985 run got underway at the beginning of September, and when the 315 GeV beams were finally dumped on 23 December, the accumulated luminosity (a measure of the number of proton- antiproton collisions achieved) had reached a record figure of 655 inverse nanobarns, surpassing even the total number of collisions om all previous runs (0.2 inverse nanobarns in 1981, 28 in 1982, 153 in 1983 and 395 in 1984). Another great success last year was the smooth parallel running of the SPS Collider and the LEAR Low Energy Antiproton Ring. The main 1985 Collider run pro­ gressed in grand style with up to 1 70 nb" being recorded in a single Results from the UA 1 experiment at the week, while the superb Antiproton CERN proton-antiproton Collider show that Plenty of particles Accumulator scaled new heights the production of clusters or 'jets ' of In March last year, packets of 450 hadrons increases significantly over the of reliability, running at one stage energy range 200-900 GeV.

(UA8 Collaboration) Abstract We report measurements of the inclusive differential cross section for the single- diffractive reactions: p +p ¯ p + X and p +p ¯ X +p ¯ at √s = 630 GeV, i → f i → f in the momentum transfer range, 0.8 < t < 2.0 GeV2 and final state Feynman- − xp > 0.90. Based on the assumption of factorization, several new features of the omeron Flux Factor are determined from simultaneous fits to our UA8 data and P lower energy data from the CHLM collaboration at the CERN-Intersecting Storage Rings. Prominent among these is that the effective omeron Regge trajectory requires ′′ P − a term quadratic in t, with coefficient, α = 0.079 0.012 GeV 4. We also show that ± the data require a omeron-proton cross section that first decreases with increasing P diffractive mass (corresponding to the term in the triple-Regge expansion) PPR and then increases at larger mass (the term), similar to real particle total arXiv:hep-ex/9710004v3 8 Apr 1998 PPP − cross sections. We measure the product, Kσ = 0.72 0.10 mb GeV 2, where K 0 ± is the normalization constant of the omeron Flux Factor in the proton and σ is P 0 the scale constant in the omeron-proton total cross section.
