We report a measurement of the angular distributions of Drell-Yan dimuons produced using an 800 GeV/c proton beam on a deuterium target. The muon angular distributions in polar angle $\theta$ and azimuthal angle $\phi$ have been measured…
The proposed ICAL detector at INO is a large sized underground magnetized iron detector. ICAL is designed to reconstruct muon momentum using magnetic spectrometers. Energy measurement using magnets fail for muons in TeV range, since the…
Since its discovery, the muon has proven to be an invaluable probe of the Standard Model (SM). Muons are readily available in tertiary beams in facilities around the world. They do not decay hadronically and have a lifetime of a few $\mu$…
Muon electron scattering experiments such as the proposed MUonE experiment, offer an opportunity for an improved measurement of the Leading Order hadronic running of $\alpha$, denoted $\Delta \alpha_{\rm{had}}$. Such a measurement could be…
Measurements of the $W$ boson mass are planned by the ATLAS and CMS experiments, but for the time being, these may be unable to compete with the current world average precision of 15~MeV, due to uncertainties in the PDFs. We discuss the…
The CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment is one of the two large general-purpose particle physics detectors built at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The diverse collaboration combined with a highly…
