| Abstract: | The Standard Model of particle physics is one of the most successful theories in physics. However there is still a range of natural phenomena that it is unable to explain. This thesis presents a measurement of Standard Model production of four top quarks, a rare process that is sensitive to influences from potential beyond Standard Model processes, using data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This thesis also documents a fast simulation software package that was developed for the ATLAS Fast Tracker system, which will be instrumental in adapting to the coming High-Luminosity LHC era. |
