Fundamental Physics
- Marco Zanetti (DFA, Università di Padova)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is one of our most powerful tools to probe the fundamental particles of nature and their interactions. By colliding protons at extremely high energies (13 TeV centre of mass), the LHC can probe conditions of the early universe just after the Big Bang. Particle detectors, such as the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment are designed to reconstruct the...
Experimental observations and convincing conceptual arguments indicate that the present understanding of fundamental physics is not complete, motivating the search for physics beyond the Standard Model at collider experiments. The most common searching strategy is to test the data for the presence of one candidate new theory at a time and therefore optimise the data analysis to be sensitive to...
