2019 I was involved in CMS experiment at CERN for 5 months. The analysis was "single top plus photon" channel. The job was made up of a few parts. The first part was writing an analysis code in which I used the 2016 data to write and debug my code. I wrote my codes in C++, Python and Bash. The link for my code is avaialbe here. Since the CMS experiment constantly updates its criteria for analysis, I have written a code such that it can be easily updated and adapted to situation. The other part of the job was about reading data from CMS database which was being done using CMS experiment tools.
2018-2019 Axions and axion-like particles are well motivated particles in many beyond the Standard Model scenarios. In collaboration with my supervisor and Sara Khatibi, we suggested new channels to study theses models at the HL-LHC. Our results showed that LHC searches for axions is complementary to low energy experiments. The simulation and analysis process was similar to my previous works.
2017-2018 My first job in numeric calculation and collider phenomenology was about same sign tops in FCNC models. I learned MadGraph and generated sample of events for various couplings at the LHC. I used Pythia to shower and hadronize. Then, passed the vents to Delphes for detector simulation in CMS detector. The analysis of events was done using root-cern data analysis framework. I did statistical inference to set bounds on parameters of the new physics model.
2016-2017 For part of my qualification exam in PhD, I reviewed Dark Matter (DM) physics. I reviewed theoretical topics such as DM production in the early Universe, thermal freeze-out, freeze-in and calculated analytical formulas related to them. The DM detection methods including collider searches, direct and indirect detection. The PDF file of the review could be found in here.
2015 In my MSc thesis, I was working on theoretical physics. The problem was about the horizons of a black hole which was radiating. I have used xAct to do some tensor calculation. The xAct is a very powerful Mathematica package with a tremendous ability to do analytical tensor calculation. I was computing the rate of Hawking radiation for various vacuum of black holes.
