Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, observing decays that produce this boson can lead to potentially new hypothetical resonances that decay into particles previously unseen in our current understanding of the Standard Model, furthering our current understanding of particle physics. This study aims to show the decay of a heavy resonance that creates a Higgs boson and another resonance that further decays into a top quark and an anti-top quark. Using signals generated by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), signal samples are analyzed to detect resonances that then break down into a Higgs boson and another resonance that then decays into a top quark and an anti-top quark, with these quarks decaying further, either hadronically or leptonically, to find new particles unknown to our current Standard Model.
*Support for this research was provided by Johns Hopkins University via the Rowland Summer Research Fellowship.
