Advanced Phenomenology for Indirect New Physics Searches

Searching indirectly for physics beyond the standard model requires careful investigation of collider data and methodological advances that are the subject of this thesis. In the first part, we develop a multivariate analysis tool to compare data with the ...

Towards Beam-Beam Simulations for FCC-ee

Tatiana Pieloni, Xavier Buffat, Péter Kicsiny, Mike Seidel, Giovanni Iadarola

The FCC-ee (Future Circular Collider) lepton collider is currently the most favored next generation research infrastructure project at CERN, aimed at studying properties of standard model particles with the highest precision ever. The chosen parameters of ...

Exploring the potential of FCC-hh to search for particles from B mesons

Alexey Boyarsky, Lesya Shchutska

The Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh) is a proposed successor of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). FCC-hh would push both the energy and intensity frontiers of searches for new physics particles. In particular, due to higher energy and luminosity than at th ...

Electroweak and Higgs Physics at Very High Energy

Lorenzo Ricci

Effective Field Theories (EFTs) allow a description of low energy effects of heavy new physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) in terms of higher dimensional operators among the SM fields. EFTs are not only an elegant and consistent way to describe heavy n ...

Vlasov description of the beam response to noise in the presence of wakefields in high-energy synchrotrons: beam transfer function, diffusion, and loss of Landau damping

Xavier Buffat, Sondre Vik Furuseth

Noise can have severe impacts on particle beams in high-energy synchrotrons. In particular, it has recently been discovered that noise combined with wakefields can cause a diffusion that leads to a loss of Landau damping after a latency. Such instabilities ...

Two paths towards precision at a very high energy lepton collider

Andrea Wulzer, Roberto Franceschini

We illustrate the potential of a very high energy lepton collider (from 10 to 30 TeV center of mass energy) to explore new physics indirectly in the vector boson fusion double Higgs production process and in direct diboson production at high energy. Double ...
