Heavy ion collisions serve as an excellent testing ground to study the strong interaction, described by quantum chromodynamics, under extremely high temperatures. In that environment, a short-lived medium of deconfined matter, called the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), is formed. A hard scattering between partons from the incident nuclei can result in the production of highly energetic partons that...
The computational challenge posed by Large Hadron Collider(LHC) experiments is a formidable one, and with the advent of the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade, there is an increasing demand for efficient utilization of computational resources. The High-Level Trigger 2(HLT2) at the LHCb experiment is the CPU-based second step of the trigger chain that selects physics objects at offline-quality for...
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are pseudo Goldstone bosons that emerge in the low-energy limit of various extensions of the Standard Model. Concrete ALP models include the axion proposed to solve the strong CP problem and can provide a portal to dark matter. In this talk, we focus on searches for ALPs using top quark measurements at the LHC. Since the ALP couples more strongly to heavier...
