Search for ADD gravitons in the CMS experiment at the LHC. University of Antwerp
The existence of gravitons, as predicted in the ADD (Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali) model, is investigated using the jet+MET (Missing Transverse Energy) final state in proton-proton interactions at the LHC collider. Using the CMS detector and the Belgian GRID infrastructure the collision data characterized by the monojet signature are collected and analyzed: to this end the trigger and analysis algorithms are optimized based on the first data ...
