Using a Monte Carlo Event Generator to Model String Resonances in Proton-Proton Collisions

ORAL

Abstract

String effects may be detectable at low-energy scale in specific models of string theory. In such cases, proton-proton collisions at the LHC could produce string resonances that would differ from our theory of quantum chromodynamics, which governs the interactions between quarks and gluons. We could detect these resonances by analyzing particle jets generated by the quarks and gluons. We form simulations of these collisions using a Monte Carlo event generator with string resonances and with pure QCD. Our objective is to aid in the search for particles beyond the standard model.
