Study of diboson production with the CMS detector at the LHC

THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest
physics
Doctoral School of Physics

Thesis supervisor: Gabriella Pásztor
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Eötvös Loránd University Faculty of Science, Institute of Physics (with visits to CERN, Geneva, Switzerland)
Abbreviation of location of studies: ELTE


Description of the research topic:

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics describes well the phenomena observed in high energy particle collisions. Precision measurements provide an excellent tool to test the limits of the model’s validity. The study of gauge interactions in the electroweak sector is very sensitive to the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking as well as new phenomena potenyially appearing at high energies. The measurements of electroweak diboson prodution processes and of anomalous triple and quartic guage couplings are in the focus of the proposed research. The student will use the proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator ever built.

Required language skills: English (fluent)
Further requirements: 
Computer programming (preferably C++, python), basic knowledge of particle physics. Student will join the MTA-ELTE Lendület Particle and Nuclear Physics Group at ELTE and travel regularly to the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in Geneva, Switzerland.

Number of students who can be accepted: 2

Deadline for application: 2018-05-31
