Model-independent measurement of charm mixing parameters in D0 -> K0S pi+ pi- decays

This thesis presents a measurement of charm mixing and CP-violation parameters using D0 -> K0S pi+ pi- decays. These mixing parameters include the mass and decay-width differences of the mass eigenstates of the D0-D0bar system. A search for Charge-Parity v ...

Measurement of lepton universality parameters in B+→K+ℓ+ℓ− and B0→K*0ℓ+ℓ− decays

A simultaneous analysis of the

B^+\to K^+\ell^+\ell^-

and

B^0\to K^{*0}\ell^+\ell^-

decays is performed to test muon-electron universality in two ranges of the square of the dilepton invariant mass,

q^2

. The measurement uses a sample of beauty meson ...

Deep learning exotic hadrons

Jannes Willy E. Nys

We perform the first amplitude analysis of experimental data using deep neural networks to determine the nature of an exotic hadron. Specifically, we study the line shape of the P-c(4312) signal reported by the LHCb collaboration, and we find that its most ...

From the line shape of the X(3872) to its structure

Angelo Esposito

From a study of the line shape of the X(3872), the LHCb collaboration measures a sizeable negative effective range. This cannot be reconciled with a shallow D (D) over bar* bound state hypothesis. Based on Weinberg's compositeness criterion, together with ...

Microlens-enhanced silicon photomultiplier arrays for LHCb SciFi Tracker Upgrade Ib

Guido Haefeli, Olivier Schneider, Carina Trippl, Ettore Zaffaroni

A large-scale Scintillating Fibre Tracker has been developed and constructed for the current LHCb Upgrade 1. The high radiation by fast neutrons reduces the light yield of the detector in the course of LHC Run 3, and is challenging the tracker's hit detect ...

Identification of hadronic tau lepton decays using a deep neural network

A new algorithm is presented to discriminate reconstructed hadronic decays of tau leptons (th) that originate from genuine tau leptons in the CMS detector against th candidates that originate from quark or gluon jets, electrons, or muons. The algorithm inp ...

Effective Field Theories for New and Old Physics

Alfredo Glioti

Effective Field Theories have changed our understanding of Quantum Field Theories. This thesis shows several applications of this powerful tool in the context of the Standard Model and for searches of New Physics. The thesis starts with a review of the St ...
