Abstract
Leptoquarks (LQ), hypothetical particles that turn quarks into leptons and vice versa, are predicted in many theories beyond the Standard Model. This research assesses the potential of the Precision Proton Spectrometer (PPS) subdetector in enhancing the existing inclusive search of the LQ, with a particular focus on single production mechanism, specifically lepton-induced processes. It utilizes proton tag by requiring a scattered proton in case of a LQ event. The analysis is done in two parts. First, a detailed study of leptoquark signal events is done on a generator level, delving into mass distributions of the particle, kinematic distributions of its final states and the cross sections for various LQ types. This is then followed by proton reconstruction test of the PPS, as well as defining a proton tag selection criteria, which is then evaluated on both signal and background samples.
Abstract (croatian)
Leptokvark (LQ) je hipotetska čestica koja omogućava transformaciju kvarkova u leptone i obrnuto. Predviđen je u mnogim teorijama izvan Standardnog modela. U ovom radu se nastoji procijeniti potencijal subdetektora Precision Proton Spectrometer (PPS) u svrhu poboljšanja trenutačne inkluzivne potrage za LQ-ima, s posebnim naglaskom na mehanizam pojedinačne produkcije LQ-a koji je induciran leptonima. Analiza se provodi u dva dijela. Prvo se temeljito proučavaju signalni događaji LQ-a služeći se Monte Carlo generatorima, zalazeći u raspodjele mase čestice, kinematičke raspodjele njezinih finalnih stanja te presjeke za različite vrste LQ-ova. Nakon toga slijedi propitivanje rekonstrukcije raspršenih protona unutar PPS-a te definiranje kriterija za označavanje raspršenog protona. Kriterij se potom procjenjuje na uzorcima signala i pozadine.
