Search for New Phenomena in Dijet Angular Distributions at s = 8 and 13 TeV

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Lund University, Sweden and CERN, Geneva

Describes the first dijet angular distributions on 13 TeV data

Offers comparisons of data to standard model (SM) predictions with next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics (NLO QCD) and electroweak corrections Demonstrates the dijet mass independence of angular distributions at different centre-of-mass energies
