Abstract

Research project for a graduate program, Master in Science level, in the field of particle physics and high energy nuclear physics to be developed within the group of experimental Hadronic physics (Hadrex) at Unicamp. This project is associated with the research project "Física Hadrônica em colisões Nucleares de Altas Energias" a thematic project of FAPESP, number 2017/05685-2. The general goal of this proposal is to study phenomenology applied to data from heavy ion collisions of LHC and RHIC experiments. The project will include a state-of-the-art event simulation chain, currently available in the Hadrex group. This simulation code is composed of various theoretical models, currently in use in the field. During the project, the student will acquire knowledge about the fundamental concepts of the field as well as training in data analysis techniques and Monte Carlo simulations. Specific goals cover study of the effects of final hadronic interactions in the experimental observables, study of survival of the signals generated in initial phases of collisions, study of experimental observables sensitive to event to event fluctuations and the effects of particle Jets in observables of particle correlation. The results expected are of great interest to the heavy ion community. Data from simulation code like this helps to understand the limitation of the experimental observables, and also to search and evaluate new observables that can shed light into the physics of heavy-Ion collisions.
