Light-Shell Theory Foundations
(2014-06-06)
We study the motivation and groundwork for the construction of a Light-Shell Effective Theory, an effective field theory for describing the matter emerging from high-energy collisions and the accompanying radiation. We ...
An effective theory on the light shell
(2014-10-21)
We describe work on the construction of an effective field theory on a spherical light shell. The motivation arises from classical electromagnetism: If a collision produces charged particles with zero net charge emerging ...
Measurement of the mass and natural width of the Higgs boson in the H to ZZ to 4l decay channel with the ATLAS detector
(2014-10-21)
This thesis presents a measurement of the mass, natural width, and signal strength, defined as the yield normalized to the Standard Model prediction, of the Higgs boson in the \(H \rightarrow ZZ^{(*)} \rightarrow 4l\) decay ...
