The tools of statistical analysis for experiments in modern physical applications are increasingly sophisticated and specific tools are needed to reliably extract results from complex data. This textbook thus presents a comprehensive treatment of the topic for the practicing physicist, focusing less on mathematical foundations but appealing to intuitive techniques with a large number of examples.This fourth edition is greatly expanded with new sub-topics not covered in standard textbooks.

As the leading theory in particle physics, the Standard Model (SM) defines our understanding of the subatomic world. However, observed phenomena have proven that the SM, despite its great success, is not complete yet and the search for particles Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) has surged ever since. [...]

The advancement of particle physics through current and future collider facilities pushes theboundaries of technology in HEP instrumentation. Experiments at the energy and intensityfrontier focus on high-precision measurements of Standard Model physics and searches forphysics beyond the Standard Model. [...]

The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) represents a significant leap inthe pursuit of fundamental physics. Scheduled to operate at a center-of-mass energy of14 TeV and a peak instantaneous luminosity up to 7. [...]

This thesis presents a search for supersymmetry using 138 fb−1 of proton-proton collisionat center-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV. The data was collected by the CMS detectorat the LHC at CERN in 2016–2018. [...]

In High-Energy Physics, detailed and time-consuming simulations are neededto describe particle showers in calorimeters. These particle showers arerecorded as energy deposits (hits) in the cells of the detector. [...]

This thesis addresses key challenges in modern particle physics by contributing to three critical areas: the development of particle detectors, their calibration and the analysis of data collected in particle physics experiments. Contributions to these areas are presented in the context of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). [...]

The development of ultra-low emittance storage rings, such as the e+/e- Future CircularCollider (FCC-ee) with a circumference of about 90 km, aims to achieve unprecedentedluminosity and beam size. One significant challenge is correcting the optics, which becomesincreasingly difficult as we target lower emittances [...]

Nach ihrer Erschaffung genießt Nelly, das astrophysikalische Neutrino, alles, was sie im Universum sieht. Doch der Weltraum kann einsam sein [...]

It is a fundamental problem in photon science that at X-ray energies, the oscillation frequency of the electromagnetic field is so high that a detector cannot measure the phase of an interacting object. This ‘phase problem’ also occurs in measurements of an object’s atomic-level properties using recoilless nuclear resonant scattering (NRS) of pulsed synchrotron radiation, which is based on the Mössbauer effect.In this thesis, we demonstrate how to use a ptychographic scanning technique to perform computational phase retrieval for an object in the energy domain via overlapping NRS measurements in the time domain.
