The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics offers the most complete quantum description of the known universe to date, however is unable to address some still unanswered questions. Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a theory which proposes partner...
The identities of the progenitors of type Ia supernova (SN Ia) has long been under study and remains an unsolved problem of astrophysics. The answer to this question will impact cosmology and subfields such as galactic evolution. To help...
Apart from the mesons that the constituent quark model predicts, QCD allows for additional states beyond the quark-antiquark system. Previous experiments have performed partial wave analysis on pion-production data and claim observation...
Hadronic form factors for semileptonic decay of the Λ[subscript c] are calculated in a nonrelativistic quark model. The full quark model wave functions are employed to numerically calculate the form factors to all orders in (1/m...
Heavy stable charged particles (HSCPs) have been searched for at the Large Hadron Collider since its initial data taking in 2010. The search for heavy stable charged particles provide a means of directly probing the new physics realm, as...
We introduce a new framework, NLOX, in which one-loop QCD and electroweak corrections to Standard Model processes can be automatically calculated. Within this framework, we calculate the first order of electroweak corrections to the...
One of the remaining puzzles in particle physics is the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking. In the Standard Model (SM), a single doublet of complex scalar fields is responsible for breaking the SU(2)L × U(1)Y gauge symmetry, thus...
The subject of this doctoral dissertation is to study the equations of state of nuclear and neutron-star matter. We tackle this problem by employing several models of the relativistic effective interactions. The relativistic effective...
The production of direct photons in association with jets can be used to probe gluon parton distribution functions as well as to test perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics. This thesis presents the measurement of the triple differential...
We present the calculation of heavy-quark associated production with a hard photon at hadron colliders, namely pp(p pbar) -> Q Qbar gamma +X (for Q = t, b), at Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We study the...
