by Lisa Zeune (Author) This book mainly investigates the precision predictions on the signal of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) scheme. The potential of the LHC to discover the signal of dark matter associated production with a photon is studied after including next-to-leading order QCD corrections. A complete next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the total cross section, invariant mass distribution, and the forward-backward asymmetry of top quark pair production mediated by the W’ boson are calculated. The factorization and resummation of t-channel top quark transverse momentum distribution in the standard model at both the Tevatron and the LHC with soft-collinear effective theory are presented. The potential of the early LHC to discover the signal of monotops is discussed. These examples illustrate the method of searching for new physics beyond what is known today with high precision. Lisa Zeune studied physics at the Universities of Wuppertal, Uppsala and Göttingen. For her PhD studies she joined the DESY theory group in Hamburg. She currently works as postdoctoral researcher at Delta Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Amsterdam. Her research focusses on the phenomenology of the Standard Model and its extensions, Higgs physics, Quantum Chromodynamics and effective theories. 53 illus.
