Electroweak Physics At The LHC

Moreover, the effects of field inhomogeneity can be estimated with higher precision than before. The research presented here provides more precise descriptions of the field and better estimates of the beam dynamics.Advanced Multipoles for Accelerator Magnets These findings are further elaborated to demonstrate their usefulness for real magnets and accelerator set ups, showing their advantages over cylindrical circular multipoles.

Evolution of Silicon Sensor Technology in Particle Physics The author here marshals his own first-hand experience in the development and also the realization of the DELPHI, CDF II and the CMS tracking detector.

 The last two parts of the book are completely new in this edition, while the first part has seen major updates. The aims of this monograph are manyfold.

In this book, the transfer Matrix method is developed and applied to analyze the simplest case and the complex generalizations.

Jets allow to determine the strong coupling constant over a wide range of energies up the highest ones possible so far, and to constrain the gluon parton distribution of the proton, both of which are important uncertainties on theory predictions in general and for the Higgs boson in particular.

This book reviews the present state of knowledge of the anomalous magnetic moment a=(g-2)/2 of the muon.5 parts per million, improving the accuracy of previous g-2 experiments at CERN by a factor of 14. It allows for an extremely precise check of the standard model of elementary particles and of its limitations.

. The results are placed into an appropriate theoretical and historical context.

After presenting pedagogical backgrounds to the Berry phase and homotopy theory, the author systematically discusses skyrmions in the order of their development, from the Ginzburg-Landau theory, CP1 theory, Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert theory, and Monte Carlo numerical approaches.This book summarizes some of the most exciting theoretical developments in the topological phenomena of skyrmions in noncentrosymmetric magnetic systems over recent decades. The book concludes with a chapter on the skyrmion phenomena in the cold atom context.

The book is particularly well suited for graduate students, starting their thesis work on topics that involve electroweak bosons, as the book provides a comprehensive description of phenomena observable at current accelerators as well as a summary of the most relevant experimental techniques. The work pays special attention to the rising subject of hadronically decaying bosons with high boosts, documenting the state-of-the-art identification techniques and highlighting typical results.Electroweak Physics at the LHC The text is not limited to electroweak physics in the strict sense, but also discusses the use of electroweak vector-bosons as tool in the study of other subjects in particle physics, such as determinations of the proton structure or the search for new exotic particles.

After presenting pedagogical backgrounds to the Berry phase and homotopy theory, the author systematically discusses skyrmions in the order of their development, from the Ginzburg-Landau theory, CP1 theory, Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert theory, and Monte Carlo numerical approaches. Modern topics, such as the skyrmion-electron interaction, skyrmion-magnon interaction, and various generation mechanisms of the skyrmion are examined with a focus on their general theoretical aspects. The book concludes with a chapter on the skyrmion phenomena in the cold atom context.This book summarizes some of the most exciting theoretical developments in the topological phenomena of skyrmions in noncentrosymmetric magnetic systems over recent decades.
