Seminarium dla młodych - NO1

This presentation explores the fundamental building blocks of nature – the particles and forces described by the Standard Model of particle physics. It delves into the experimental methods used at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator, to probe the subatomic world and recreate conditions similar to those just after the Big Bang. Special focus is given to diffractive processes and exclusive top quark production, which provide unique insights into the strong interaction and the internal structure of the proton. A phenomenological study on diffractive top quark production is presented, discussing the theoretical motivations and potential experimental signatures. The presentation concludes with a look at the advanced detector technologies and data analysis techniques developed at the LHC, which are driving innovation at the intersection of science and technology.
