This work investigates if and how photoelectron diffraction might become a suitable tool to measure structural changes of small molecules in the gas-phase with femtosecond temporal and angstrom spatial resolution. Molecular-frame photoelectron angular distributions (MFPAD) of O(1$s$)-, S(2$p$)- and F(1$s$)-electrons from carbonyl sulfide and fluoromethane molecules have been measured in photoelectron-photoion coincidence experiments at the synchrotron radiation sources DORIS and PETRA III (kinetic energy of photoelectrons: 16 eV < E$_{\mathrm{PE}}$ < 283 eV).

Hamburg : Verlag Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY-THESIS 395 pp. () [10.3204/PUBDB-2020-03891] = Dissertation, Technical University of Dortmund, 2020  GO
It is important to exploit particle detectors for the detection and identification of electrons and photons in the best possible way, as it is adressed in this thesis by discussing three different application examples of precisely measuring electrons and photons at high-energy physics andtest beam experiments.Firstly, the optimization of the photon identification within the ATLAS detector at the LHCis investigated. Appropriate selection criteria are needed to efficiently discriminate prompt photons steming from the hard-scattering collision process from photons originating from hadronic jet decays. [...]

he properties of the scalar boson that was first found in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC are so far consistent with those of the Higgs boson, predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. Further investigations of the boson's properties with increased accuracy are of immediate interest, as any deviation from Standard Model predictions could lead the way to a more fundamental theory of nature.

Novel ultrafast fiber laser sources utilizing fiber nonlinearities
128 pp. () [10.3204/PUBDB-2020-02483] = Dissertation, Universität Hamburg, 2020  GO
Due to the lack of proper active gain media, mid-IR frequency combs in the molecular “fingerprint” region are normally implemented by difference frequency generation (DFG) process inside nonlinear crystals. In addition to granting an access to the long-wave (>10 μm) side of the mid-IR spectrum, DFG also offers a wide wavelength tunability, a high-repetition-rate (HRR) operation (>10 MHz), and a passive cancelation of the carrier-envelope phase offset, all of which enable a simplified experimental configuration for constructing mid-IR frequency combs.Currently, DFG-based mid-IR frequency combs especially at wavelengths beyond 10 μm suffer from insufficient available power, mainly caused by un-optimized wavelength-shifting processes and an inefficient parametric interaction of the DFG process.

In this thesis we investigate two questions that shed new light on fundamentalproperties of supersymmetric gauge theories.Our first topic deals with the question, which implications results for N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills have on theories with less symmetry. Specifically we conjecture that thedilatation operator in the SU(2, 1|1) sector of any N = 1 superconformal gauge theorycan be found from the one for N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills by a redefinition of the couplingconstant.

The CMS detector at the LHC is foreseen to experience a major upgrade in order to cope with increased radiation flux due to the high-luminosity operation phase of the accelerator. The CMS tracker will be replaced completely, introducing a new module concept in the outer part of the subsystem, which will exploit the strong magnetic field inside the CMS detector to select high transverse momentum particles locally and send the corresponding information to the triggering system thus enhancing the efficiency of the latter.In order to allow for module prototyping and production testing, an intermediate DAQ system, referred to as μDTC, was developed in the scope of this thesis.

In this work an approach to relativistic electron acceleration employing laser-driven dielectric microstructures (DLA) is considered. New DLA designs were developed, a simulation code for efficient DLA simulation was devised, the capabilities of dielectric microstructures as particle beam diagnostic devices were investigated and a laser induced damage threshold measurement setup was implemented and tested.To leverage well developed near-infrared laser sources new DLAs were designed that are robust against realistic manufacturing tolerances and exhibit a predicted increased electron transmission of up to \SI{44}{\percent} of the charge and longitudinal acceptance of around \SI{2}{\femto\second}, but are still able to produce \SI{}{\giga\volt/\meter} acceleration gradients.

Measurement of the top quark mass in the all-jets final state at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and combination with the lepton+jets channel

Hamburg : Verlag Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY-THESIS 189 pp. () [10.3204/PUBDB-2020-00969] = Dissertation, Universität Hamburg, 2020  GO
A measurement of the top quark mass using LHC proton-proton collision data with an integratedluminosity of $35.9\text{fb}^{-1}$ is presented.The dataset has been recorded with the CMS detector in LHC Run 2 at a center-of-mass energyof $13$ TeV in the 2016 data taking period.Events are selected in which a top quark and a top antiquark are produced and both decay exclusively to jets.This $\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}$ all-jets final state is characterized by six jets in the detector and therefore contaminatedby multijet background, which is estimated from data in a control region.A kinematic fit is utilized to reconstruct the full $\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}$ system, improving the invariant mass resolution forthe top quark candidates and at the same time reducing the multijet background by requiring a goodness-of-fit criterion.The top quark mass is extracted using the ideogram method, simultaneously constraining an additional jet energy scale factor(JSF) to reduce systematic uncertainties.The top quark mass is found to be $m_{\text{t}}=172.34\pm0.20\,\text{(stat+JSF)}\pm0.70\,\text{(syst)}$ GeV, agreeing well with previous measurements.Furthermore, a combined top quark mass measurement using the all-jets and lepton+jets final states simultaneously isperformed.For this, a combined likelihood including the events of both final states is constructed and the same mass extractionis applied as for the all-jets final state.The resulting measurement is $m_{\text{t}}=172.26\pm0.07\,\text{(stat+JSF)}\pm0.61\,\text{(syst)}$ GeV.This is the first time a top quark mass measurement combining both final states in a single likelihood functionis presented.The result is consistent with other measurements at the LHC.A global electroweak fit employing this measurement shows the importance of the top quark mass for consistency checksof the standard model of particle physics..

Precise predictions for Higgs physics in supersymmetric models
[DESY-THESIS-2020-019]
Hamburg : Verlag Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY-THESIS 196 pages : illustrations, fugires () [10.3204/PUBDB-2020-02962] = Dissertation, Universität Hamburg, 2020  GO
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the mass of the SM-like Higgs boson can be predicted in terms of the model parameters and therefore used as a precision observable to constrain the MSSM parameter space. The precise prediction of the lightest MSSM Higgs boson mass in scenarios with one or several heavy supersymmetric particles requires the resummation of higher-order logarithmic contributions obtained within an effective-field-theory (EFT) approach.

Studies of biological systems typically require the application of several complementary methods able to yield statistically-relevant results at a unique level of sensitivity. Long penetration depth of X-rays makes them particularly suitable for non-destructive volumetric investigations of whole cells and tissue sections, providing structural and elemental specificity at nanoscale spatial resolutions.X-ray ptychography is a promising imaging technique for sub-100-nm structural studies of weakly-scattering extended biological specimens.

The medical imaging modality of X-ray fluorescence imaging (XFI), first proposed in 1986 by Boisseau, offers the possibility to utilise gold nanoparticles (GNPs) that are functionalised with specific biomarkers, offering the advantage of low dose exposure and high detection sensitivity. If these nanoparticles are injected into an organism, they can be taken up by tumour cells - a prevailing challenge for commonly used imaging modalities like computed tomography (CT) or positron emission tomography (PET), especially for early tumour diagnostics.

The existence of several neutral Higgs states is predicted in many models comprising an enlargement of the Standard Model (SM) scalar sector, notably the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). Many of these scenarios predict an enhancement of the coupling of the neutral Higgs bosons to bottom quarks. [...]

In the present work, time-resolved measurement techniques with resolutions in the femtosecond range were used to understand electronic excitations better and thus the formation and breaking of chemical bonds. Electrical excitations occur on a time scale in the attosecond to femtosecond range, and therefore ultra-short pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) range are needed to excite these processes [...]

Emittance Measurements at Laser-Wakefield Accelerators
145 pp. () = Dissertation, University of Hamburg, 2019  GO
Laser-wakefield accelerators enable the generation of electron beams with initially nm-small emittances and GeV-level beam energies within cm-scale distances and are thereforepromissing candidates for drivers of future experiments. However, the percent-level energy-spreads and shot-to-shot fluctuations in beam quality can pose a limit to the transportability of plasma-generated beams, and further impete the measurement of the beam emittance using conventional methods.In the framework of this thesis, two energy-resolved phase-space diagnostics, a single-shot and a multi-shot method, have been implemented at the LUX laser-plasma accelerator.Electron beams from ionization injection are imaged by a compact quadrupole doublet from a virtual source into a dispersive electron spectrometer, which allows to measurethe beam emittance, beam size, divergence and phase-space correlation on the singleenergy-slice level.

The Free Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) has a unique combination of high repetitionrate, tunable, intense, and narrowband THz pulses naturally synchronized to the XUV pulses.It provides the opportunity to investigate light-matter interaction on an ultrafast timescale.However, due to the different properties of THz and XUV radiation, the optical transport differsfor these pulses. The result is that the optical path of the THz beamline is several meters longerthan the XUV beamline, preventing the utilization of the full potential of FLASH. [...]
