Gluon Search with f2'(1525) seen in pPb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=8.16 TeV
ORAL
Abstract
In the Standard Model of Particle Physics, gluons are the carriers of the strong force and are responsible for binding quarks and anti-quarks together to form different particles, therefore keeping the very fabric of our universe together. Gluons can interact with other gluons, making it possible for there to be a particle made up of only gluons, this is known as a glueball. There has yet to be any evidence that confirms the mass of such a particle, however there are three candidates of the elusive glueball; these particles are known as f2(1275), f2'(1525) and f0(1710). In this analysis we study the decay of f2'(1525)->K+K- pairs at sqrt(s_NN)= 8.16 TeV seen in proton-lead and lead-proton collision data taken from the LHCb experiment at CERN.
