Description
Exploring Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics remains a critical frontier in particle physics, with the ProtoDUNE experiment leading efforts to uncover new phenomena. My project, as a summer student at CERN, involved a comprehensive analysis of simulated BSM signals on the CERN neutrino platform (NP04) of ProtoDUNE, focusing on Heavy Neutral Lepton (HNL) signal simulations and trigger emulation. I successfully conducted signal simulations using LArSoft for various masses of HNL, examining distinct decay patterns, which includes pion-muon and muon-muon channels.
A significant aspect of this research involves determining the threshold cut value for triggering by computing efficiencies. I am glad that I could contribute to the team by providing efficiencies of HNL signal for different cut values, which aided in selecting optimal cut value for the real experiment!
