Hi! Whenever someone ask me to describe my work I get really excited, so
the best thing is to ask me in person! I will nevertheless give a short
version here.
My work consists of analyzing data from the ALICE experiment, where the
main analysis is to investigate the Lambda and K0s production with a
two-particle angular correlation study, allowing me to examine the
baryon-meson anomaly in a jet-like environment formed by a high pT
trigger particle associated with identified Lambda baryons and K0s
mesons, compared to the near-side bulk region. The particles are
identified with the TPC detector -- the heart of ALICE! The results
could reveal in what way the presence of quark-gluon-plasma affects the
particle production. To study the new and fascinating field of heavy ion
collisions, very special technologies for data handling and storage are
required -- just imagine: in my experiment one single PbPb collision
produces thousands of new particles (2.5GByte/s) which needs to be
processed! |
