This book provides an introduction to the physics of the Standard Model and beyond, and to the methods used to analyze Large Hadron Collider data. It presents a full phenomenological search for graviton emission in a multi-jet final state.

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium Describes theoretical aspects of spin-2 particles, including their propagator and refers to the famous van Dam-Veltman discontinuity Presents a full phenomenological search for graviton emission, in the context of different BSM theories, in a multi-jet final state Includes a phenomenological study of gravitino emission in a multi-jet final state in the context of supersymmetric theories Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
