Model independent search for new physics at the Tevatron
The Standard Model of elementary particles can not be the final theory. There are theoretical reasons to expect the appearance of new physics, possibly at the energy scale of few TeV. Several possible theories of new physics have been proposed, each with unknown probability to be confirmed. Instead …

A quasi-model-independent search strategy for new high-pT physics at Tevatron Run II
… physics will take are all over the map. A quasi-model-independent search strategy for new physics (SLEUTH) was introduced in Tevatron Run I to allow a probe of high-pT hadron collider data. This dissertation prescribes the SLEUTH algorithm that will be used in Tevatron Run II. Improvements over …

Implementation of a model independent search for new physics with the CMS detector exploiting the world-wide LHC computing grid
… collider experiment. At this scale the Standard Model of particle physics will reach its limits and new physical phenomena are expected to appear. This study performed with one of the LHC's experiments, namely the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS), is trying to quantify the understanding of the …

Rare phenomena and W production in electron proton scattering at HERA
A general and model-independent search for deviations from the Standard Model prediction is performed in ep collisions at HERA using H1 data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 115 1/pb. All experimentally measurable event topologies involving electrons, photons, muons, neutrinos and jets …

A Search For New Low-Mass Diphoton Resonances At Atlas And An Investigation Into Using Gaussian Process Regression To Model Non-Resonant Two-Photon Standard Model Backgrounds
The Standard Model of particle physics has been tested over many years with many ex- periments and has predicted experimental results with remarkable accuracy. In 2012, the last piece of the Standard Model, the Higgs boson, was discovered by the experiments ATLAS and CMS at the Large Hadron …

Commissioning of the CMS muon detector and development of generic search strategies for new physics
… analyses. In the second part of this thesis a model independent search approach for new physics within CMS is presented, utilizing events with leptons and relying only on the knowledge of the Standard Model simulation. Such an analysis can contribute to the understanding of the detector and the …

Effective Field Theories for Physics Beyond the Standard Model
… data gathered by the LHC has tested the Standard Model to an unprecedented level, with searches for physics beyond the Standard Model placing strong constraints on new physics. As these constraints become more stringent, it is increasingly likely that physics beyond the Standard Model will be …
