Title: Electroweak probes of small and large systems with the ATLAS detector

Abstract

Measurements of isolated prompt photon and massive electroweak (W and Z) boson production in different collision systems are of great interest to understand the partonic structure of heavy nuclei, and serve as a constraint on the initial state in larger collision systems. Furthermore these channels are sensitive to a variety of effects such as the modification of the parton densities in nuclei in certain kinematic regions, and the energy loss of partons as they undergo multiple interactions in the nucleus before the hard parton-parton scattering.

Precision Measurements with an Electroweak Boson in the Final State with the ATLAS Detector

Journal Article Lang, Valerie S. - International Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series

Measurements of the Drell-Yan production of W and Z/γ* bosons at the LHC provide a benchmark of our understanding of perturbative QCD and probe the proton structure in a unique way. The ATLAS collaboration has performed new measurements for W⁺, W⁻ and Z/γ* boson production, reaching unprecedented precision and strong constraints on parton distribution functions, in particular the strange quark density. Studying jet pro- duction in association with a vector boson, perturbative QCD predictions can be tested in a multi-scale environment. Once the QCD aspects of the vector boson production are understood, high precision measurements aim at the tests ofmore »« less

Measurement of prompt photon production in $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 8.16$ TeV p + Pb collisions with ATLAS

Journal Article Aaboud, M. ; Aad, G. ; Abbott, B. ; ... - Physics Letters. B

The inclusive production rates of isolated, prompt photons in p+Pb collisions at √s_NN = 8.16 TeV are studied with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider using a dataset with an integrated luminosity of 165 nb^-1 recorded in 2016. The cross-section and nuclear modification factor R_pPb are measured as a function of photon transverse energy from 20 GeV to 550 GeV and in three nucleon–nucleon centre-of-mass pseudorapidity regions, (-2.83, -2.02), (-1.84, 0.91), and (1.09, 1.90). The cross-section and R_pPb values are compared with the results of a next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculation, with and without nuclear parton distribution function modifications,more »« less

Cold nuclear matter effects in J/(psi) production

Conference Wohri, H K ; Faccioli, P ; Lourenco, C ; ...

Lattice QCD predicts that, above a certain critical energy density or temperature, strongly interacting matter undergoes a phase transition from the hadronic world to a quark-gluon plasma state, where the coloured quarks and gluons are no longer bound to colourless hadrons. The suppression of quarkonium production in high-energy nuclear collisions is one of the most interesting signatures of QGP formation, for two reasons: due to their large masses, charm and beauty quarks are created only in the initial hard scattering processes, before the QGP is formed; and the Q{bar Q} binding potential should be screened in the deconfined colour medium.more »« less

Electroweak-charged bound states as LHC probes of hidden forces

Journal Article Li, Lingfeng ; Salvioni, Ennio ; Tsai, Yuhsin ; ... - Physical Review. D.

We explore the LHC reach on beyond-the-standard model (BSM) particles X associated with a new strong force in a hidden sector. We focus on the motivated scenario where the SM and hidden sectors are connected by fermionic mediators ψþ;0 that carry SM electroweak charges. The most promising signal is the Drell-Yan production of a ψ^±ψ-0 pair, which forms an electrically charged vector bound state Υ^± due to the hidden force and later undergoes resonant annihilation into W±X. We analyze this final state in detail in the cases where X is a real scalar Φ that decays tomore »« less
