Determining Systematic Uncertainties in the Search for the Doubly Charged Higgs Boson
To resolve parity violation through the weak force, the doubly charged Higgs boson arises through the Left- Right Symmetric model. In search of the boson at the Large Hadron Collider, I determine systematic uncertainties to determine the accuracy of our mass limit. Specifically, analyzing the impact of the parton distribution function (PDF) , which determines how quarks and gluons interact in a collision, I determined the impact of the PDF on the signal of the boson. Afterwards, generating the data via Monte Carlo at a higher mass of 5000 GeV, I measured the significance of the intrinsic width on the signal. In particular, I compare the events generate at each mass from plus or minus one standard deviation in comparison to the baseline.
