{"product_id":"9783319822518","title":"Search for Dark Matter with ATLAS","description":"This thesis describes in detail a search for weakly interacting massive particles as possible dark matter candidates, making use of so-called mono-jet events. It includes a detailed description of the run-1 system, important operational challenges, and the upgrade for run-2. The nature of dark matter, which accounts for roughly 25% of the energy-matter content of the universe, is one of the biggest open questions in fundamental science. The analysis is based on the full set of proton-proton collisions collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at √s = 8 TeV. Special attention is given to the experimental challenges and analysis techniques, as well as the overall scientific context beyond particle physics. The results complement those of non-collider experiments and yield some of the strongest exclusion bounds on parameters of dark matter models by the end of the Large Hadron Collider run-1.Details of the upgrade of the ATLAS Central Trigger for run-2 are also included.  ","brand":"Ruth Pöttgen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595667325246,"sku":"9783319822518","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9783319822518.jpg?v=1707708823","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783319822518","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
