TCAD + Allpi$\text{x}^2$ Simulation study of MALTA2, a Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor for future tracking

In this work, a hybrid simulation framework combining TCAD and Allpi$\text{x}^2$ is presented to investigate the sensor properties of MALTA2, a depleted monolithic active pixel sensor designed for future tracking. The study starts from 3D modeling and transient simulations in TCAD, with generic doping profiles and simple well structures. The resulting doping profiles and electric field are extracted and fed into Allpi$\text{x}^2$ for high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations in both DUT-only and full-telescope mode. Simulations reveal a strong dependence of sensor performance, specifically the detection efficiency and cluster size, on the doping concentration of the N-type blanket at the sensor surface. The doping concentration is then optimized by comparing simulations with measurement data. The active depth of the depleted region of the MALTA2 sensor is estimated in both simulations and measurements using a grazing angle method, in which the sensor is positioned at various inclinations relative to the beam, covering angles from 0 to 60 degrees. Excellent agreement on active depth is obtained with the optimal doping concentration, showing a deviation of 2\% from the measured value at a threshold of 450\,$\text{e}^-$. Consequently, the framework offers a generic toolkit for sensor studies without requiring proprietary information.

Probing the limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings via $ZZγ$ production in the $\ell\ellννγ$ channel at FCC-hh

In this study, the sensitivity to anomalous quartic gauge couplings (aQGCs) is projected via $pp \rightarrow ZZγ$ production in the 100 TeV proton-proton Future Circular Collider - hadron-hadron (FCC-hh) for an integrated luminosity of 30 ab$^{-1}$. The $\ell\ellννγ$ final state under consideration consists of a same-flavor, opposite-sign lepton pair (electrons or muons) from one $Z$ boson, the invisible decay of the other $Z$ boson into neutrinos, and an accompanying photon. The FCC-hh detector response and its effects on the reconstructed objects are included through a realistic detector simulation. Three multivariate techniques are employed to separate the signal from the relevant SM backgrounds. Unitarity is preserved by a strict, operator-dependent bound on the total transverse mass ($M_T^{tot}$) of the system. The median expected significances are calculated within the Asimov approximation for one anomalous coupling varied at a time and for background systematic uncertainties between 0\% and 10\%. The highest separation power is obtained with the deep neural network method. The resulting 95\% confidence level limits on $|f_{T0}/Λ^{4}|$, $|f_{T8}/Λ^{4}|$, $|f_{T9}/Λ^{4}|$ and $|f_{M2}/Λ^{4}|$ in the combined $e+μ$ channel without systematic uncertainties are $2.83\times 10^{-3}$, $1.65\times 10^{-3}$, $3.81\times 10^{-3}$ and $8.97\times 10^{-3}$ TeV$^{-4}$, respectively. We have an order of magnitude improvement when compared to current LHC limits with the assumption of 5\% systematic uncertainty.

Charge collection parameterization of MALTA2, a depleted monolithic active pixel sensor

A fast simulation method is presented for a depleted monolithic active pixel sensor, which uses a data driven parameterization of the charge collection and propagation. This approach provides an efficient alternative to TCAD simulations, particularly for sensors whose proprietary process details - such as doping profiles or implant geometries - are unavailable. Data was obtained with a MALTA2 sensor fabricated in a 180 nm CMOS imaging technology on 30 μm epitaxial silicon using the MALTA beam telescope at CERN SPS. The model reproduces the measured inpixel efficiency with high accuracy and enables a realistic yet computationally lightweight analog pixel simulation. This method will be further employed in optimizing the digital sensor design for applications in high-rate particle tracking and high-granularity calorimetry.

Investigation of Charged Higgs Boson in the Bottom and Top Quark Decay Channel at the FCC-hh

After the recent discovery of a neutral Higgs boson with a mass about 125 GeV, we assess the extend of discovery potential of future circular hadron collider (FCC-hh) for a charged Higgs boson in the bottom and top quark decay channel. The charged Higgs boson can be produced through the pp->h^{-}t+X process with a subsequent decay h^{-}->b bar{t} channel. This decay channel is particularly important for studying the charged Higgs boson heavier than the top quark. We consider an extension of the standard model Higgs sector, namely two Higgs doublet model (2HDM), and perform a dedicated signal significance analysis to test this channel for the FCC-hh running at the center of mass energy of 100 TeV and the integrated luminosity of 1 ab^{-1} (initial) and 30 ab^{-1} (ultimate). We find that an important part of the parameter spaces of two Higgs doublet model are examinable at the FCC-hh.

The projections on $ZZγ$ and $Zγγ$ couplings via $ν\bar νγ$ production in HL-LHC and HE-LHC

We investigate the sensitivity of the anomalous dimension-8 neutral triple gauge couplings via process $pp\to ννγ$ with fast detector simulation including pile-up effects for the post LHC experiments. The transverse momentum of the final state photon and missing energy transverse distributions are considered in the analysis. We obtain the sensitivity to the $C_{\widetilde B W}/Λ^4$, $C_{B B}/Λ^4$, $C_{WW}/Λ^4$ and $C_{BW}/Λ^4$ couplings at HL-LHC and HE-LHC with an integrated luminosity of 3 ab$^{-1}$ and 15 ab$^{-1}$, respectively. Finally, our numerical results show that one can reach the constraints at 95\% confidence level without systematic error on $C_{\widetilde BW}/Λ^4$, $C_{B B}/Λ^4$, $C_{W W}/Λ^4$ and $C_{BW}/Λ^4$ couplings for HL-LHC (HE-LHC) as [-0.38;0.38] ([-0.12;0.12]), [-0.21;0.21]([-0.085;0.085]), [-1.08;1.08]([-0.38;0.38]) and [-0.48;0.48]([-0.25;0.25]), respectively. They are better than the experimental limits obtained by LHC.

Study on Anomalous Neutral Triple Gauge Boson Couplings from Dimension-eight Operators at the HL-LHC

The anomalous neutral triple gauge boson couplings (aNTGCs) for the Z gamma gamma and Z gamma Z vertices described by dimension-eight operators are examined through the process pp to l^{+}l^{-} gamma at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). We performed an analysis on transverse momentum of photon and angular distribution of charged lepton in the final state including detector effects. Sensitivity limits of the C_{\widetilde{B}W}, C_{BB} couplings are obtained at 95 % C.L. to constrain for the range [-1.88: 1.88] TeV^{-4}, [-1.47: 1.47] TeV^{-4} and [-1.14:1.14] TeV^{-4}, [-0.86: 0.86] TeV^{-4} with an integrated luminosity of 300 fb^{-1} and 3000 fb^{-1}, respectively.

We study the sensitivity of anomalous neutral triple gauge couplings ($aNTGC$) via $pp \rightarrow ZZ$ production in the 4$\ell$ channel at 100 TeV centre of mass energy of future circular hadron collider, \verb"FCC-hh". The analysis including the realistic detector effects is performed in the mode where both Z bosons decay into same flavor, oppositely charged lepton pairs. The sensitivities to the charge-parity (CP)-conserving $C_{\tilde{B}W} / Λ^{4}$ and CP-violating $C_{WW} / Λ^{4}$, $C_{BW} / Λ^{4}$ and $C_{BB} / Λ^{4}$ couplings obtained at 95\% Confidence Level (C.L.) using the invariant mass distribution of 4$\ell$ system reconstructing the leading and sub-leading Z boson candidates are $[-0.117, \,\, +0.117]$, $[-0.293, \,\, +0.292]$, $[-0.380, \,\, +0.379]$, and $[-0.138, \,\, +0.138]$ in the unit of TeV$^{-4}$, respectively.

Probing Top Quark FCNC tqgamma and tqZ Couplings at Future Electron-Proton Colliders

The top quark flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes are extremely suppressed within the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. However, they could be enhanced in a new physics model Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). The top quark FCNC interactions would be a good test of new physics at present and future colliders. Within the framework of the BSM models, these interactions can be described by an effective Lagrangian. In this work, we study tqgamma and tqZ effective FCNC interaction vertices through the process e-p->e-Wq+X at future electron proton colliders, projected as Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) and Future Circular Collider-hadron electron (FCC-he). The cross sections for the signal have been calculated for different values of parameters lambda_q for tqgamma vertices and kappa_q for $tqZ$ vertices. Taking into account the relevant background we estimate the attainable range of signal parameters as a function of the integrated luminosity and present contour plots of couplings for different significance levels including detector simulation.

Probing anomalous $tqγ$ and $tqg$ couplings via single top production in association with photon at FCC-hh

We study the anomalous FCNC $tqγ$ and $tqg$ couplings via $pp\to Wbγ+X$ signal process including realistic detector effects for both leptonic and hadronic decay channels of the W boson at 100 TeV FCC-hh. The relevant background are considered in the cut based analysis to obtain not only limits on the anomalous $λ$ and $ζ$ couplings but also branching ratios of $t\to qγ$ and $t\to qg$ decay channels. We find that the sensitivity to the branching ratio of $t \to q γ$ channel is three order better than the available LHC experimental limits, and it is comparable for the branching ratio of the $t\to qg$ decay channel with an integrated luminosity of 10 ab$^{-1}$ at 2$σ$ significance level.

Probing the Effects of Dimension-eight Operators Describing Anomalous Neutral Triple Gauge Boson Interactions at FCC-hh

The effects of dimension-eight operators giving rise to anomalous neutral triple gauge boson interactions of $Zγγ$ and $ZγZ$ vertices in $pp\to l^-l^+γ$ and $pp\to ν\bar νγ$ are investigated at 100 TeV centre of mass energy of future circular hadron collider (FCC-hh). The transverse momentum of photon, invariant mass of $l^-l^+γ$ and angular distribution of charged lepton in the rest frame of $l^-l^+$ and Missing Energy Transverse (MET) are considered in the analysis. The realistic detector effects are also included with Delphes simulation. Sensitivity limits obtained at 95\% C.L. for $C_{\widetilde B W}/Λ^4$ and $C_{B B}/Λ^4$ couplings are $[-0.52;0.52] ([-0.40;0.40])$ TeV$^{-4}$, $[-0.43;0.43] ([-0.33;0.33])$ TeV$^{-4}$ in the dilepton+photon channel and $[-0.11;0.11] ([-0.084;0.084])$ TeV$^{-4}$, $[-0.092;0.092] ([-0.072;0.072])$ TeV$^{-4}$ in the MET+photon channel with $L_{int}$=1 (3) ab$^{-1}$, respectively.

Probing the Anomalous FCNC tqgamma Couplings at Large Hadron electron Collider

We investigate the anomalous flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions of top quark through the process $e^{-}p\to e^{-}W^{\pm}q+X$. We calculate the signal and background cross sections in electron proton collisions at Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) with a 7 TeV proton beam from the LHC and a new 60 GeV electron beam from energy recovery linac (ERL). We study the relevant background processes including one electron and three jets in the final state. The distributions of the invariant mass of two jets and an additional jet tagged as $b$-jet are used to account signal and background events after the analysis cuts. We find upper bounds on anomalous FCNC couplings $λ$ of the order of $10^{-2}$ at LHeC for a luminosity projection of $100$ fb$^{-1}$ together with the fast simulation of detector effects. As a matter of interest, we analyze the sensitivity to the couplings $(λ_{u},λ_{c})$ and find an enhanced sensitivity to $λ_{c}$ at the LHeC when compared to the results from the HERA.

Single Production of Fourth Family Quarks at the LHC

We study the single production of the fourth family quarks through the process pp--> Q'jX at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We have calculated the decay widths and branching ratios of the fourth family quarks (b' and t') in the mass range 300-800 GeV. The cross sections of signal and background processes have been calculated in a Monte Carlo framework. It is shown that the LHC can discover single t' and b' quarks if the CKM matrix elements |V_{t'q}|,|V_{qb'}|>=0.01.

Single production of excited neutrinos at future e^{+}e^{-}, ep and pp colliders

We study the potential of the linear collider (LC) with sqrt{s}=0.5 TeV, linac-ring type ep collider (LCxLHC) with sqrt{s}=3.74 TeV and the large hadron collider (LHC) with sqrt{s}=14 TeV to search for excited neutrinos through transition magnetic type couplings with gauge bosons. The excited neutrino signal and corresponding backgrounds are studied in detail to obtain accessible mass limits and couplings for these three types of colliders.
