This article is a pedagogical review of searches for long-lived particles at the LHC. It is
primarily aimed at experimentalists and theorists seeking to initiate and/or deepen their …

This review covers results on the production of all possible electroweak boson pairs and 2-to-
1 vector boson fusion at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in proton-proton collisions …

The random grid search (RGS) is a simple, but efficient, stochastic algorithm to find optimal
cuts that was developed in the context of the search for the top quark at Fermilab in the mid …

A bstract We examine the observability of heavy neutrino (ν h) signatures of a U (1)′
enlarged Standard Model (SM) encompassing three heavy Majorana neutrinos alongside …

We study dimuon events in 2.11 fb-1 of 7 TeV pp collisions, using CMS Open Data, and
search for a narrow dimuon resonance with moderate mass (14–66 GeV) and substantial …

The online reconstruction of muon tracks in High Energy Physics experiments is a highly
demanding task, typically performed on reconfigurable digital circuits, such as FPGAs …

Abstract The High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC will increase the instantaneous luminosity
to 5× 1034 cm-2 s-1, resulting in an increase in the number of simultaneous protonproton …

This thesis presents three different studies based on the CMS Run 2 data. The first two are
measurements of the cluster properties in the CMS silicon strip tracker related respectively to …

The mass of the top quark is measured using a sample of tt candidate events with one
electron or muon and at least four jets in the final state, collected by CMS in protonproton …

With the observation of the Higgs boson in 2012 [1, 2], the last missing particle of the
standard model of particle physics was discovered. The standard model has successfully …
