Overview of possible Master and Ph.D. theses
Measurements with Gauge Bosons (Z/W and γ* )
- Measurement of differential cross sections of gauge boson production
- Measurement of the Boson pt spectrum is a test of soft gluon as well as mini-jet resummation and challenges the theory predictions
- With the TMD approach (using Transverse Momentum Dependent parton density functions) the measurements are expected to be better described. Theoretical development is needed
- Measurement of cross sections of gauge boson production in association with jets
- Gauge bosons in association with multi-jets is a crucial test for the theory, for higher order calculations but also for predictions within the TMD approach. Apart from the experimental issues (as pileup treatment etc) theoretical development is needed
-
differential cross section of bbar and ttbar production
- multi-differential cross section with additional jets covering full CMS η acceptance
- measurement of pt of the bbar and ttbar system for investigations of soft gluon and mini-jet resummation. Challenges are at small pt of the bbar and ttbar system.
- Measurement of differential cross sections of inclusive and multi-jet production in full
CMS angular acceptance as a test of theory predictions
- Challenges are the treatment of pileup and low pt jets
- measurements with the very first LHC run2 data as a test for Monte Carlo tuning
- dn/dη measurements
- UE measurements
- Comparison of differential cross sections of DY and Higgs production
- Measurement of UE in gluon induced processes like Higgs
