Weyl metallic state induced by helical magnetic order

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Jan Hugo Dil, Jian Rui Soh, Xupeng Yang

In the rapidly expanding field of topological materials there is growing interest in systems whose topological electronic band features can be induced or controlled by magnetism. Magnetic Weyl semimetals, which contain linear band crossings near the Fermi ...

Numerical investigation of bound states in quantum magnets

Mithilesh Nayak

Bound-states of particles are an interesting problem in quantum mechanics dating back to 1931 Bethe's solution of spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain. These exotic composite states are realized in quantum magnets and are detectable in inelastic neutron scattering (I ...

Sara Celani

This PhD thesis aims at testing one of the fundamental properties of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics: the lepton flavour universality (LFU), which states that

Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons with LHCb

Serhii Cholak

This thesis presents a search for a beyond the Standard Model (SM) heavy neutral lepton (HNL), which does not interact via any of the SM interactions. This hypothetical particle has been proposed by multiple theories as an extension to the SM, and it could ...

Seeding and Emergence of Composite Skyrmions in a van der Waals Magnet

Klaus Kern, Marko Burghard, Lukas Powalla

Topological charge plays a significant role in a range of physical systems. In particular, observations of real-space topological objects in magnetic materials have been largely limited to skyrmions - states with a unitary topological charge. Recently, mor ...

Deep learning exotic hadrons

Jannes Willy E. Nys

We perform the first amplitude analysis of experimental data using deep neural networks to determine the nature of an exotic hadron. Specifically, we study the line shape of the P-c(4312) signal reported by the LHCb collaboration, and we find that its most ...

From the line shape of the X(3872) to its structure

Angelo Esposito

From a study of the line shape of the X(3872), the LHCb collaboration measures a sizeable negative effective range. This cannot be reconciled with a shallow D (D) over bar* bound state hypothesis. Based on Weinberg's compositeness criterion, together with ...

Hunting for tetraquarks in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Angelo Esposito, Claudio Andrea Manzari

Ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions constitute an ideal setup to look for exotic hadrons because of their low event multiplicity and the possibility of an efficient background rejection. We propose to look for fourquark states produced by photon-photon fu ...
