SUMMARY:

The Standard Model of particle physics is one of the most successful theories in modern physics,
providing a unified framework to describe electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions. It
accurately predicts the properties and interactions of fundamental particles but leaves several
unanswered questions, such as the nature of dark matter, the origin of neutrino masses, and
the matter-antimatter asymmetry. To address these gaps, high-energy particle colliders serve
as powerful tools to probe physics beyond the Standard Model, enabling the search for new
particles and interactions. Collider physics relies on the precise analysis of collision events,
where particles accelerated to high energies interact and produce detectable signatures that
can reveal new fundamental phenomena. This Ph.D. research aims to explore such
phenomena through computational simulations and data analysis from existing and future
colliders. The study will utilize advanced Monte Carlo techniques to simulate particle
interactions, generate theoretical predictions, and optimize signal-background separation. Key
computational tools, such as Feynrules, MadGraph, Pythia, and Delphes, will be employed to
model new physics scenarios, generate events, simulate detector effects, and extract
meaningful observables. By
systematically comparing these simulations with experimental data, the project seeks to establish
exclusion limits, assess the discovery potential of future experiments, and refine strategies for
detecting new physics. The research will also involve collaborations with international institutions
such as the Sorbonne University.
