The Search for Dark Photons at LHCb and Machine Learning in Particle Physics

Investigating hypothetical particles called dark photons helps shed light on the nature of dark matter, which is one of the biggest open questions in particle physics. This thesis presents world-leading limits in searches for prompt-like and long-lived dark photons decaying into two muons, as well a...
