Research info​​
 

 

Research topic for PhD is “Phi meson production in pp collisions at \sqrt{s} = 5.02 and 8 TeV using ALICE detector at the LHC”.

 

Phi meson is a resonance and hidden strange particle. Study of resonances is very important due to their short lifetime, which enables to understand the medium formed in later stage of heavy-ion collisions. Also, the study of resonances in heavy-ion collisions provides information about strangeness production and the hadronic phase of the system. Resonance measurements in pp collisions set the baseline for p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions as well as contribute to the understanding of the particle production mechanisms through comparison with different model predictions.  As the ALICE detector at LHC has unique capability of particle identification, the phi meson can be reconstructed via its hadronic decay to charged kaons by using the information of the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) and Time of Flight (TOF) detectors. Also, phi meson can be reconstructed without using particle identification.

 

Currently, I am involved in data analysis for ALICE collaboration at CERN, Geneva. The plan of my research is to measure the production of phi mesons at mid-rapidity in minimum bias pp collisions and as a fuction of charged particle multiplicity at  \sqrt{s} = 5.02 TeV and 8 TeV.
