Collider tools and techniques applied to neutrino and early universe physics

粒子物理学正在进入一个令人兴奋的时代，来自中微子和引力波实验的新观测将提供补充窗口，在最小的尺度上了解粒子的性质，并在最早的时候了解宇宙。然而，在提高我们计算的精确度和我们将物理模型与数据进行比较的严谨性方面，仍有许多工作要做。由于大型强子对撞机计划已经运行了20多年，在理解、模拟和分析粒子相互作用方面有了重大的理论物理发展。许多这样的计算工具和软件可以有效地应用于中微子实验和早期宇宙物理。杰克·富兰克林将参与以下项目1.使用ProtoDUNE数据实现沙丘实验的快速探测器模拟。应用对撞机工具和技术(例如喷气集群算法)来构建分析，以改进沙丘实验中的暗物质探测。在IceCube实验中，应用JET集群算法和JET拓扑结构来改进tau中微子探测。3.构建了模拟中微子与核子相互作用的程序。此外，在他的博士学位中，他将对这些互动进行建模。理解这种相互作用并能够可靠地模拟它们对于下一代中微子实验至关重要。这些项目从更多的唯象项目到理论项目。利用引力波和中微子数据之间的互补性作为评估大统一理论可行性的一种手段

Particle physics is entering an exciting era where new observations from neutrino and gravitational wave experiments will provide complementary windows into particles' nature at the smallest scales and the universe at the earliest times. However, there remains much to be done in improving the precision of our calculations and the rigour of how we compare our physics models to data. As the Large Hadron Collider programme has been running for more than 20 years, there have been momentous theoretical physics developments to understand, simulate and analyse particle interactions. Many such calculational tools and softwares can be effectively applied to neutrino experiments and early universe physics. Jack Franklin will engage in the following projects 1. Use ProtoDUNE data to implement a fast detector simulation of the DUNE experiment. Apply collider tools and techniques (such as jet clustering algorithms) to construct an analysis to improve dark matter detection at the DUNE experiment.2. Apply jet clustering algorithms and jet topologies to improve tau neutrino detection at the IceCube experiments. 3. Constructing a code to simulate neutrino nucleon interactions. Furthermore, in his PhD, he will model these interactions. Understanding such interactions and being to reliably simulate them is crucial for the next generation of neutrino experiments.These projects range from more phenomenological to theoretical.4. Exploit the complementarity between gravitational wave and neutrino data as a means of assessing the viability of Grand Unified Theories
