Lene Bryngemark (Lund U.) " Searches for Physics Beyond the Standard Model Using Dijets in ATLAS"

Abstract:
The LHC gives us access to the highest collider energies, at the highest intensities, providing a unique opportunity to thoroughly examine the constituents of matter and their interactions at ever smaller distances and higher mass scales. Jets are produced in the highest momentum transfer collisions and are thus at the energy frontier. With the recent increase in LHC beam energy, ATLAS makes use of this sensitivity to make its first statements of what physics looks like in a new energy regime. In this presentation, I show the results from both the 8 and the more recent 13 TeV analysis of dijet mass and angular distributions. I also mention some possible extensions of this analysis to further enhance its discovery potential for physics beyond the Standard Model.
