A search for supersymmetric top quarks in CMS 8TeV data in the b/τ + jets + met + muon final state Melo, Andrew Malone (2016-04-05)Department: PhysicsThis dissertation examines data recorded in 2012 by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to search for supersymmetric top quark decay. In order to reduce the substantial backgrounds ...

Appelt, Eric Andrew (2014-04-08)Department: PhysicsThe transverse momentum spectra of charged particles at both midrapidity and forward rapidity in PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair and pPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of ...

Belmont, Ronald John III (2012-12-10)Department: PhysicsIn this thesis, the transverse momentum (pT) spectra and ratios of identified charged hadrons π±, K±, p and ṗ produced in √sNN = 200 GeV Au+Au and d+Au collisions are reported as a function of centrality, which characterizes ...
