The CMS experiment is one of four detectors built at crossing sites of the LHC beams, and is one of two general purpose detectors (the other being the ATLAS detector) which have been designed to exploit the physics opportunities presented by the LHC.
It is designed to investigate various physical phenomena concerning the SM and beyond it, such as Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions and Dark Matter.

The CMS detector essentially acts as a giant super highspeed camera that makes 3D images of the collisions that are produced at a rate of 40 MHz (40 million times per second).
The CMS detector essentially acts as a giant super highspeed camera that makes 3D images of the collisions that are produced at a rate of 40\unit{MHz} (40 million times per second).
As its name implies, the detector is a solenoid that is constructed around a superconducting magnet capable of producing a magnetic field of 3.8\unit{\tesla}.
The magnetic coil is 13~m long with an inner diameter of 6 m, making it the largest superconducting magnet ever constructed.
The CMS detector itself (as shown in \autoref{CMSLayout}) is over 28 m long with a diameter of 15 m and it has a weight of approximately 14,000 \unit{\tonne}.
Within the solenoid volume are a silicon pixel and strip tracker, a lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL), and a brass and scintillator hadron calorimeter (HCAL), each composed of a barrel and two endcap sections. Forward calorimeters extend the pseudorapidity ($\eta$) coverage provided by the barrel and endcap detectors. Muons are measured in gas-ionization detectors embedded in the steel flux-return yoke outside the solenoid. More detailed descriptions of the CMS detector, together with a definition of the coordinate system used and the relevant kinematic variables, can be found in Refs.~\cite{CMS:2008xjf,CMS:2023gfb}.

The detector has an onion-like structure to capture all the particles that are produced in high energy collisions.
A property from these particles that is exploited is their charge. Normally, particles produced in collisions travel in a straight line, but in the presence of a magnetic field, their paths are curved.
Except the muon system, the rest of the sub-detectors lie inside the 3.8~T magnetic field. As the trajectory of charged particles produced in the collisions get curved (as shown in \autoref{CMSLayers} ) one can calculate the particle's momentum and know the charge of the particle.
The Tracking devices are responsible for drawing the trajectory of the particles by using a computer program that reconstructs the path by using electrical signals that are left by the particle as they move.
The Calorimeters measure the energy of particles that pass through them by absorbing their energy with the intent of stopping them. The particle identification detectors work by detecting radiation emitted by charged particles and using this information they can measure the speed, momentum, and mass of a particle. After the information is put together to make the “snapshot” of the collision one looks for results that do not fit the current theories or models in order to look for new physics. \cite{CMS_detector}

\autoref{CMSLayers} depicts the particle detection process in CMS. Charged particles leave signatures in the inner tracking system, and the vertices from decaying short-lived particles can be identified. Photons, electrons, neutral pions and kaons are stopped in the crystals of the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) and the scintillation light is used to determine the deposited energy. Hadrons punch through further and are generally stopped by the hadronic calorimeter (HCAL), where jets are confined and only the highest-energy hadrons and muons pass through the superconducting solenoid into the outer regions of the CMS barrel. Finally, muons are detected in the various muon detectors which interleave the return yoke of the magnet. Neutrinos escape from the CMS detector and are inferred from an imbalance of energy in the reconstructed event called missing transverse energy (MET or $\vec{p}_T^{\text{miss}}$).
More detailed descriptions of the CMS detector, together with a definition of the coordinate system used and the relevant kinematic variables, can be found in Refs.~\cite{CMS:2008xjf,CMS:2023gfb}.

% The project focusses specifically on data collected from one of the Calorimeters, - the Hadron Calorimeter (HCAL). The HCAL, as its name indicates, is designed to detect and measure the energy of hadrons or, particles that are composed of quarks and gluons, like protons and neutrons. Additionally, it provides an indirect measurement of the presence of non-interacting, uncharged particles such as neutrinos (missing energy) . Measuring these particles is important as they can tell us if new particles such as the Higgs boson or supersymmetric particles (much heavier versions of the standard particles we know) have been formed. The layers of the HCAL are structured in a staggered fashion to prevent any gaps that a particle might pass through undetected. There are two main parts: the barrel and the end caps. There are 36 barrel wedges that form the last layer of the detector inside the magnet coil, there is another layer outside this, and on the endcaps, there are another 36 wedges to detect particles that come out at shallow angles with respect to the beam line.

\section{Background information on EJs}

The Emerging Jets concept arises from the paper by P. Schwaller \cite{Schwaller:2015gea} where it was proposed to search for the Emerging Jets signature in the Run 1 dataset of the LHC Experiments to set limits on a combination of parameter ranges.
The Emerging Jets concept arises from the paper by P. Schwaller \cite{Schwaller:2015gea} where it was proposed to search for the Emerging Jets signature in the Run 1 dataset of the LHC Experiments to set limits on a combination of parameter ranges. Many studies of Dark matter require new physics that is beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics (BSM) and objects such as weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) have not been fruitfull in this regard.

The dark mesons are represented by dashed lines as they do not interact with the detector. After traveling some distance, each individual dark pion decays into Standard Model particles, creating a small jet represented by solid colored lines. Because of the exponential decay, each set of SM particles originates at a different distance from the interaction point, so the jet slowly emerges into the detector. }

The full Run 2 dataset is used in the latest search for emerging jets \cite{CMS:2024gxp} accumulating 138 \unit{\per\femto\barn} to search for this signature.

\chapter{Introduction}

The work for this thesis was performed with resources from European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)\footnote{\url{https://home.cern/about}}, the CMS Experiment\footnote{\url{http://cms.web.cern.ch/news/what-cms} or \url{https://cms.cern/detector}}, and the LHC Physics Center (LPC) at Fermi National Lab (FNAL).

CERN was founded in 1954 and is located at the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. At CERN, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter --- the fundamental particles.
The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before the beams are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions. The accelerator at CERN is called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest machine ever built by humans and it collides particles (mostly protons) at just
3 m/s under the speed of light.
