    A search for anomalous H+X in association with two forward protons
    (Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, 2024-12) Leal Reyes, Nadia Mariana
    "The Standard Model of particle physics is a well­established theoretical framework that describes the fundamental particles and forces that constitute the universe, excluding gravity. It classifies all known subatomic particles into two categories: fermions, which make up matter, and bosons, which mediate forces. The fermions include quarks and leptons, while the bosons include the photon, W and Z bosons, gluons, and the Higgs boson. Higgs boson is the only particle in the SM that has a spin of 0. Both leptons and quarks can be grouped into three generations, where the particles of each generation are heavier copies of the particles from the preceding generation. However, all visible matter that surrounds us contains almost exclusively first­generation fermions. The Standard Model successfully unifies the electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear forces under a common theoretical structure, explaining how particles interact via these forces. However, gravity, dark matter, and dark energy still need to be included, leaving some questions in particle physics unanswered. Despite these limitations, the Standard Model has been remarkably successful in predicting experimental results, and it remains a cornerstone of our understanding of the quantum world".

    Development of online software tools for the TOTEM-CMS Data Acquisition System
    (Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, 2022-06) Leal Reyes, Nadia Mariana
    "The TOTal cross-section, Elastic scattering, and diffraction dissociation Measurement (TOTEM) is one of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. TOTEM is symmetrically installed in the LHC sectors 45 and 56 beamlines having a total extension of about 400 m and being located around the CMS interaction point (IP5). TOTEM originally consisted of a set of movable detectors named Roman Pots (RPs) utilized for tagging scattered protons and two charged particle telescopes, known as T1 and T2, installed to measure showers produced by hadronized particles from dissociated protons. In Run 3, TOTEM collaboration will complete its physics program in a special fill, where the inelastic component of the proton-proton interaction will be measured. For this purpose, a new telescope (referred to as new T2) has been built and is in the commissioning phase. In this work, the development of a new online software utility, written in an object-oriented programming language, which controls the new T2 detectors through a slow control optical link is presented".
