Overview
- Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the CERN, Geneva
- Winner of ATLAS thesis award 2016
- Provides in-depth descriptions of analysis techniques and challenges particularly relevant for but not restricted to the mono-jet signature
- Documents cutting-edge results from the Large Hadron Collider run-1 in the search for WIMPs as dark matter candidates in the mono-jet signature, embedded in the overall scientific context beyond particle physics
- Includes a detailed description of the run-1 ATLAS Central Trigger, important operational challenges, and its upgrade for Large Hadron Collider run-2
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
