Explanation of New CDF W Mass
Jul 2022 – Sep 2022 University of Chicago
  • Explained both the new W boson mass $m_W^{\rm CDF-II}$ reported by Fermi Lab and the long existed discrepancy of forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}^{0,b}$ by introducing new vector-like quarks
  • Explored the model properties by performing a global electroweak fit. Found that the model is consistent with the current direct-search limits at the LHC, the HL-LHC, can cover most of the regions of the parameter space preferred by the electroweak fit. Determined that the one-loop contribution to Higgs couplings in this model was also relevant, which is consistent on current measurement and may be excluded on future collider
  • Determined that the mass of the exotic quark (with charge $-4/3$) is required to be below 4 TeV at the 95% confidence level, and the best-fit point corresponded to a mass of around 1.5 TeV
 
 
 
 
 
Probing BSM effects with machine learning
Nov 2021 – Sep 2022 Fudan University
  • Aimed to apply machine learning techniques to the phenomenological analyses of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), focusing on the measurements at future lepton colliders
  • Performed machine learning methods with simulations of $e^{+}e^{-} \to W^{+} W^{-} $, including some systematic effects to determine the likelihood ratio in terms of the Wilson coefficients of dimension-six operators in this process.
  • Determined that the machine learning method performed better than the traditional methods, such as Optimal Observable, which corrected the large bias of model parameters and gave strong constraints
  • Planned to explore the applications of these methods to other processes, such as top-pair productions, and using the more realistic datasets from colliders
 
 
 
 
 
Nonlinear Differential Equations and Chaos
Mar 2021 – Jun 2022 Fudan University
  • Elucidated the relationship between nonlinear differential equations and chaos and found a way to describe quantum chaos
  • Simulated the Chua’s Circuit by Mathematica to generalize the characteristic of Nonlinear Differential Equations and Classical Chaos
  • Calculated the Spectral Form Factor of the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE), one of the ensembles of Random Matrix Theory (RMT), which can be a signature of Quantum Chaos
 
 
 
 
 
Saxon Bowl
Research Assistant to Professor Yongkang Le
Oct 2019 – Aug 2020 Fudan University
  • Aimed to find the parameters that determined the time of the sinking of a bowl with a hole in its base
  • Built the experimental device and simulated the sinking process via COMSOL
  • Obtained results via using the Bernoulli equation with losses and solved the differential equations using numerical simulation by Mathematica
