The ALERT experiment aims to advance our understanding of the nuclear structure in terms of quarks and gluons by precisely measuring the electroproduction of a real photon through the interaction with a nuclear target such as the Helium-4. This process referred as the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) gives us access to the tomography of quarks inside the nucleus. The achievement of...
My PhD thesis is the measurement of beauty production in
proton-proton and Pb-Pb collisions with the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC and my talk will focus on a crucial part in the study of b-jet production: b-jet tagging.
I will compare two methods for b-jet tagging: the Track Counting method which relies on impact parameter significance, and Boosted Decision Trees (a machine learning...
Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) is a powerful tool to investigate the internal structure of hadrons in terms of Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs). The Sullivan process, involving the exchange of a virtual pion from the proton’s meson cloud, offers a unique opportunity to access the three-dimensional structure of the pion at high energies. Since the pion plays a central role in...
The Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP) is a deconfined state of matter consisting of quarks and gluons, theorized to have existed during the earliest moments after the Big Bang. Hadronisation refers to the process by which quarks combine to form composite particles known as hadrons. Studying how hadronisation occurs within the QGP provides valuable insights into how the first particles in our Universe...
The quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is a state of matter at high temperatures and/or high baryon density where quarks and gluons are asymptotically free and not confined in hadrons anymore. Experimentally, it can be produced
during heavy ion collisions using large accelerator facilities such as the LHC. The ALICE experiment focuses on characterizing the QGP properties using
the aforementioned...
