SUMMARY:A SEARCH FOR A STABLE SIX-QUARK BOUND STATE IN P-P COLLISIONS 
 AT √ S = 13 TEV IN PARKED 2018 DATA AT CMS AND A STUDY OF THE AGING 
 OF CATHODE STRIP CHAMBERS IN HIGH RADIATION ENVIRONMENTS.\, Thesis Def
 ense\, Wren Vetens\, Physics PhD Graduate Student
DESCRIPTION:A search for a Standard Model dibaryonic dark matter candi
 date being produced in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions and annihilatin
 g with a neutron in the beam-pipe of the CMS detector is described her
 ein. The search is to conducted in over 230 billion collisions collect
 ed in 2018 by the CMS detector\, targeting the strange neutral hadrons
  that would be produced in such an annihilation. A custom vertex recon
 struction is used\, and a multivariate discriminator is trained to dis
 tinguish between the signal and a combinatorial background. Additional
 ly\, results from a study of the aging of detector components in Catho
 de Strip Chambers in high radiation environments with reduced Carbon T
 etrafluoride gas mixtures are also presented.
