The Large Hadron Collider located at CERN outside of Geneva, Switzerland uses proton-proton collisions to produce a wide range of particles. W and Z bosons, the mediators of the fundamental weak force, are some of the particles that can be produced in proton-proton collisions and can be used to give a more complete understanding of the Standard Model. One of the ways they can decay is into...

With only 0.5% of the full projected $50\,\textrm{ab}^{-1}$ dataset, the Belle II detector is already a competitive high luminosity environment in which to study $B$ decays with missing energy. At a centre of mass energy of the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, Belle II is a $B$ factory, producing approximately $1.1\times10^9$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs per $\textrm{ab}^{-1}$. Precise knowledge of one fully...

The Measurement of a Lepton Lepton Electroweak Reaction (MOLLER) Experiment at Jefferson lab will search for new dynamics beyond the Standard Model at low (~100 MeV) and high energies (multi-TeV). MOLLER will measure the parity-violating asymmetry (APV) in the scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from unpolarized target electrons to an accuracy of 2.4% using an 11 GeV beam in Hall...

Conventional matter consists of mesons, made of two quarks or baryons, made of three quarks. However, the Standard Model of Particle Physics does not forbid particles consisting of more than three quarks. This analysis focuses on the search for possible exotic hadronic states using strange particles, the kaon meson ($K_s^0$) and the lambda baryon ($\Lambda^0$ or $\bar{\Lambda^{0}}$) with the...

The Digital Hadronic Calorimeter (DHCAL) and the Silicon-Tungsten Electromagnetic Calorimeter (Si-W ECAL) are both CALICE prototypes originally meant for the International Linear Collider (ILC) experiments. The analysis of the combined response to different particles will be presented. The data was obtained from test runs at Fermilab in 2011. The linearity, energy and spatial resolutions...
