Field of Interest:hep-ex, nucl-ex
Experiments:CERN-LHC-ALICE
Deadline: 2018-05-13
Region: Europe
Job description:
The successful candidate will carry out a full analysis with the ALICE detector at the LHC, working in the ALICE group at the IPN (Institut de Physique Nucleaire) Orsay (Orsay, France).
The PhD project focuses on measurements of the nuclear and collective effects which constitute the reference to interpret the measurements in Pb-Pb collisions, and are lacking of experimental constraints. The proposal is composed of two parts. The first part consists on the measurement of Z boson production in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN= 5.02 TeV with 2018 data. Z bosons are weakly interacting probes, therefore they are insensitive to the QGP (Quark-Gluon Plasma) formation, and allow us to study the scaling of hard probes production with the number of colliding nucleons, as well as the modification of the parton distribution functions in nuclei.
The second part of the project is centred on the study of the contribution of multiple parton interactions on the production of open charm, D mesons (formed by a c and light quark), and hidden charm, J/Ψ mesons (c-cbar bound state). This becomes possible by measuring their production rates as well as their angular correlation, which is a distinctive characteristic.

Profile and skills required:
Applicants are expected to hold a master degree in particle and/or nuclear physics at the time of their appointment. Excellent level of English and C++ programming are mandatory. Team working abilities are required.
