商品描述
This book explores the Higgs boson and its interactions with fermions, as well as the detector technologies used to measure it. The Standard Model of Particle Physics has been a groundbreaking theory in our understanding of the fundamental properties of the universe, but it is incomplete, and there are significant hints which require new physics. The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 was a substantial confirmation of the Standard Model, but many of its decay modes remain elusive. This book presents the latest search for Higgs boson decays into c-quarks using a proton-proton collision dataset collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This decay mode has yet to be observed and requires advanced machine learning algorithms to identify c-quarks in the experiment. The results provide an upper limit on the rate of Higgs boson decays to c-quarks and a direct measurement of the Higgs boson coupling strength to c-quarks. The book also discusses the future of particle physics and the need for significant improvements to the detector to cope with increased radiation damage and higher data rates at the High-Luminosity LHC. It presents the characterization of the ATLAS pixel detector readout chip for the inner detector upgrade (ITk). The chip was subjected to irradiations using X-rays and protons to simulate the radiation environment at the HL-LHC. The tests showed that all readout chip components, including the digital logic and analogue front-end, are sufficiently radiation-tolerant to withstand the expected radiation dose. Finally, this book describes monolithic pixel detectors as a possible technology for future pixel detectors. This book is ideal for individuals interested in exploring particle physics, the Higgs boson, and the development of silicon pixel detectors.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了希格斯玻色子及其與費米子的相互作用,以及用於測量它的探測器技術。粒子物理的標準模型在我們理解宇宙基本特性方面是一項突破性的理論,但它並不完整,並且有顯著的跡象需要新的物理學。2012年希格斯玻色子的發現是對標準模型的重大確認,但其許多衰變模式仍然難以捉摸。本書介紹了使用大型強子對撞機(LHC)上ATLAS實驗收集的質子-質子碰撞數據集,對希格斯玻色子衰變為c夸克的最新搜尋。這一衰變模式尚未被觀察到,並且需要先進的機器學習算法來識別實驗中的c夸克。結果提供了希格斯玻色子衰變為c夸克的速率上限,以及希格斯玻色子與c夸克耦合強度的直接測量。本書還討論了粒子物理的未來,以及為應對高亮度LHC中增加的輻射損傷和更高數據速率而需要對探測器進行重大改進的必要性。它介紹了ATLAS像素探測器讀出晶片在內部探測器升級(ITk)中的特徵化。該晶片經過X射線和質子輻照,以模擬HL-LHC的輻射環境。測試顯示,所有讀出晶片組件,包括數位邏輯和類比前端,都具有足夠的輻射耐受性,以承受預期的輻射劑量。最後,本書描述了單片像素探測器作為未來像素探測器的一種可能技術。本書非常適合對探索粒子物理、希格斯玻色子及矽像素探測器的發展感興趣的讀者。
作者簡介
Maria Mironova is a particle physicist working on Higgs physics analysis and pixel detector development. She is currently a Chamberlain Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, where she studies Higgs boson decays to b- and c-quarks and the readout chip for the upgrade of the ATLAS pixel detector for the High-Luminosity LHC. Maria earned her DPhil (PhD) in Particle Physics from the University of Oxford, where she worked on characterizing radiation effects in silicon detectors and searching for Higgs boson decays into two charm quarks under the supervision of Prof. Daniela Bortoletto. Before that, she completed an MSc in Physics from Imperial College London and a BSc in Physics from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.
