To understand the universe, means understanding its smallest constituents. Although the
visible matter particles and the forces that bind them only account for about 17% of the …

This thesis discusses the prospects for discovery of supersymmetry by searching for the
decay $\tilde\chi_2^ 0\to Z^ 0\tilde\chi_1^ 0\to\mu^+\mu^-\tilde\chi_1^ 0$ in the minimal …

This thesis is concerned with physics performance of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, and
can roughly be divided into two parts. The first part has to do with the discovery of …

Particle physics is the field of science which describes the fundamental building blocks of
matter: subatomic particles, and the fundamental forces between them. Although the idea …

Abstract The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a mutli-TeV linear e+e− collider currently
under development at CERN. In the post-LHC era, CLIC will allow to explore a great number …
