1. 1. Probing Charm Production with Three-Particle Correlations in pp Collisions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Kim Haupt; [2023]
   Keywords : pp collisions; charm production; three-particle correlation; Pythia; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. READ MORE

3. 2. Projections for charm balance functions in heavy-ion collisions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Tilde Bonnevier Wallstedt; [2022]
   Keywords : Heavy-ion physics; quark-gluon plasma; QGP; balance function; charm quark; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this thesis, pp collisions were simulated using PYTHIA. D+ D- and D0 D0bar balance functions were created in order to contribute with a reference point for future balance functions measured in real data from Pb-Pb collisions. READ MORE

4. 3. Monte Carlo simulations of D-mesons with extended targets in the PANDA detector

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Kärnfysik

   Author : Mattias Gustafsson; [2016]
   Keywords : Monte Carlo simulations; PANDA; reconstruction D-meson; pellet target; cluster-jet target;

   Abstract : Within the PANDA experiment, proton anti-proton collisions will be studied in order to gain knowledge about the strong interaction. One interesting aspect is the production and decay of charmed hadrons. The charm quark is three orders of magnitude heavier than the light up- and down-quarks which constitue the matter we consist of. READ MORE

5. 4. Production of J/Ψ mesons in p–Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Madeleine Petersson Sjögren; [2015]
   Keywords : particle physics; heavy-ion collisions; Quark Gluon Plasma; J Ψ production; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Data from p–Pb collisions reconstructed with the ALICE experiment at √s = 5.02 TeV is analyzed to study J/Ψ production (a possible Quark Gluon Plasma signal) in different pT ranges. READ MORE

6. 5. Charm and bottom production at particle colliders

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Fabricio Jimenez; [2014]
   Keywords : High Energy Physics. Collider Physics. Monte Carlo Event Generators. Pythia. Heavy flavours.; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : High energy particle collisions involve complex physics, beyond analytical control. Instead, Monte Carlo event generators like Pythia have been used to simulate particle collisions since decades. A study of the production of heavy quarks (namely, charm and bottom) is presented for two different scenarios: lepton (e+e−) and hadron (pp) collisions. READ MORE
