Measurement of W and Z pair production and search for WZ resonances at the large hadron collider
Measurement of W and Z pair production and search for WZ resonances at the large hadron collider
Srećko Morović
This thesis presents a study of WZ production in proton proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV. The measurements are based on data recorded by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 5 fb-1. The electron and muon decay channels of theW and Z bosons are used. A measurement of the inclusive cross section of the pp → WZ + X process is performed, restricted to the phase space for which the Z boson mass lies in...
Measurement of associated Wgamma production and search for anomalous WWgamma couplings with the CMS detector
Measurement of associated Wgamma production and search for anomalous WWgamma couplings with the CMS detector
Senka Đurić
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has recently delivered collisions at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV and has therefore allowed for the first time to test the validity of the Standard Model (SM) at TeV scale. The precise measurement of electroweak processes constitute a central part of this program. Diboson processes, in which pairs of electroweak bosons are produced, provide in particular a good opportunity to test SM at these energies. They also allow to seek indirectly for new physics...
Measurement of the 58Ni neutron capture cross section
Measurement of the 58Ni neutron capture cross section
Petar Žugec
The (n, γ) cross section of 58Ni – of importance for the nuclear astrophysics, as well as for nuclear technologies – was measured at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. For the measurement, two C6D6 liquid scintillation detectors were used, specifically optimized to provide as low neutron sensitivity as possible. At n_TOF, the highly luminous white neutron beam covers 12 orders of magnitude in energy – from 10 meV to 10 GeV. It is produced by a pulsed beam of 20 GeV...
Measurement of the Cross section for associated production of the Higgs boson and an electroweak boson in final states with two b quarks and two leptons in proton proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider
Measurement of the Cross section for associated production of the Higgs boson and an electroweak boson in final states with two b quarks and two leptons in proton proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider
Saswat Mishra
This thesis summarizes the analysis in which we measure the cross-section for the production of the standard model Higss boson of 125 GeV in association with an electroweak boson (W or Z). The analysis is performed in the final state where the Higgs boson decays into a pair of b quarks and the electroweak boson decays lectonically resulting in three channels based on the number of charged leptons in the final state (0, 1 or 2 leptons). The analysis uses data recorded by the CMS experiment...
Measurement of the cross section for associated production of a W boson and two b quarks with the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider
Measurement of the cross section for associated production of a W boson and two b quarks with the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider
Jelena Luetić
The goal of this thesis is a measurement of the cross section of the pp -> W + bb + X process using the data collected during 2012 at √s = 8 TeV. The data is provided by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator at CERN, Geneva and collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS). The production of a W boson in association with a pair of b quarks (Wbb) in proton collisions has been the topic of many theoretical calculations and simulations. It is however still not well described due to...
Measurement of the p(e, e' π+)n reaction with the short-orbit spectrometer at Q2 = 0.078 (GeV/c)2
Measurement of the p(e, e' π+)n reaction with the short-orbit spectrometer at Q2 = 0.078 (GeV/c)2
Ivica Friščić
The precise measurement of the cross section for the p(e, e' π+)n reaction at certain kinematics, allows one to separate the cross section into quantities at a given four-momentum transfer Q2, which carry the information about the nucleon structure. Since the data at low Q2 are not known with an intended precision, a new measurement of the p(e, e' π+)n reaction was performed at Q2 = 0.078 (GeV/c)2 and at an invariant mass of W = 1094 MeV - approximately 15 MeV above the reaction threshold....
Measurements of Higgs boson properties in the four-lepton channel in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector
Measurements of Higgs boson properties in the four-lepton channel in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector
Toni Šćulac
This thesis presents the measurements of Higgs (H) boson properties in the four-lepton decay channel in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector. The discovery of the Higgs boson is considered as the ultimate verification of the Standard Model. It solves the problem of the origin of elementary particles mass and provides unitarization at high energy. After the discovery was announced by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations further studies of the...
Mechanically flexible crystals of cadmium(II) coordination polymers
Mechanically flexible crystals of cadmium(II) coordination polymers
Mateja Pisačić
Mechanically responsive crystals have recently attracted the attention of a wide scientific community, but the origin of this remarkable crystal behaviour is still unclear. This thesis provides a systematic study of mechanically induced crystal flexibility on a series of onedimensional crystalline cadmium(II) coordination polymers, which provided a valuable dataset of different structural architectures, morphologies, and an unexpectedly wide range of variable mechanical responses. A...

Mechanochemical synthesis and structural characterization of bimetallic and hybrid tetrahydridoborates
Sanja Burazer
Mechanochemical reactions of metal tetrahydridoborates and metal imidazolates, as well as the structural characteristics of the obtained products were investigated. X-ray powder diffraction, both at the laboratory diffractometer and in-situ high-temperature diffraction under the synchrotron radiation was mainly used experimental technique. NMR was used as a complementary technique. Combination of molecular building blocks of lithium borohydride, LiBH4, and lithium imidazolate, LiIm, led to...

Mehanizam diskriminacije prirodnih proteinogenih i neproteinogenih nepripadnih aminokiselina kod aminoacil-tRNA-sintetaza razreda 1A
Mirna Biluš
Aminoacil-tRNA-sintetaze kataliziraju vezanje aminokiselina na 3'-kraj tRNA u reakciji koja se sastoji od dva koraka: prvo dolazi do aktivacije aminokiseline uz pomoć ATP-a pa nastaje aminoacil-adenilat, a zatim do prijenosa aktivirane aminokiseline na 3'- kraj tRNA. Strukturna sličnost aminokiselinskih supstrata i potreba za točnošću reakcije aminoaciliranja uvjetovale su postojanje mehanizama popravka pogrešaka aminoacil-tRNA-sintetaza: popravak se može odvijati prije i poslije...

Mehanizmi djelovanja fenolnih kiselina na oksidacijski stres, polarizaciju makrofaga, angiogenezu i rast Ehrlichova ascitesnoga tumora
Martina Kunštić
Angiogeneza, proces nastanka krvožilja, zajedno s upalom ključna je za rast i metastaziranje raka. Novačenje makrofaga te produkcija citokina/kemokina, čimbenika rasta i proteolitičkih enzima je zajednička karakteristika upale, angiogeneze i raka, te važan cilj novog pristupa liječenja raka. Fenolne kiseline (galna, kafeinska i taninska kiselina) kao prirodne fitokemikalije i snažni antioksidansi pokazuju kemopreventivna i terapijska svojstva u...
