Search for QCD instantons at the LHC using the ATLAS Detector

This thesis presents the design of the first search for QCD instantons at the LHC, which is based on $1.693~\mathrm{nb}^{-1}$ of low-pileup data collected by the ATLAS Experiment in 2015. QCD instantons are semi-classical solutions of the Yang-Mills equations of motion and correspond to tunneling pr...
