Advanced Research Projects

We propose several advanced research projects, tailored towards undergraduate students in physics, based on analysis of publicly available data from the ATLAS experiment at the LHC at CERN. Each analysis consists of (i) selecting and studying particular final states made of particles measured by the detector, (ii) identifying the underlying proton-proton collision process(es), and (iii) interpreting the results in terms of SM measurement or within some new theory. More information can be found here.

List of projects

  1. What do 4-lepton final states tell us about the Standard Model and the Higgs boson?

  2. Do new fundamental forces or extra space dimensions show up at the LHC the way the Z and Higgs bosons did?

  3. Is the world supersymmetric and/or where is Dark Matter?
