Search for New Particles decaying to Dijets

凯瑟琳将研究质子-质子碰撞中高能粒子喷流的产生。在大多数质子碰撞中，会产生两股粒子喷流。通过测量每对喷流的质量。凯瑟琳将寻找受激发的夸克、量子黑洞和额外的玻色子，这些粒子出现在质量谱中的峰值或偏离标准模型的预测。这将包括寻找暗物质介体粒子(类似于额外的Z玻色子)。通过在分析中实现夸克-胶子喷注的选择，极限将得到改善。

Katherine will be investigating the creation of high energy jets of particles in proton-proton collisions. In most proton proton collisions two jets of particles are produced. By measuring the mass of each pair of jets. Katherine will be searching for excited quarks, quantum black holes and additional bosons that appear as a peak in the mass spectrum or as a deviation from the predictions of the standard model. This will include searching for a dark matter mediator particle (similar to an additional Z boson). Limits will be improved by implementing quark-gluon jet selections to the analysis.
