The research is carried out within the framework of the “BE PROUD” Project, aimed at the precision measurement, using innovative analysis techniques, of the production of an electroweak W or Z boson in association with b-jets in proton–proton collisions at the LHC, using data from the ATLAS experiment. These measurements improve the understanding of perturbative QCD in the Standard Model, are sensitive to the proton PDFs, and constitute a valuable input for improving the Monte Carlo simulations used to estimate these backgrounds in Higgs boson analyses and searches for New Physics.
The primary objective of the research is the development of the analysis for the measurement of the cross section of the W+b-jets production process. The holder of the research position will be responsible for developing the code for event selection, will support activities for background estimation and unfolding, and will participate in the ongoing activities on the study of Z+b-jets production
