Monte-Carlo Event Generators For Jet Modification In D(P)-A And A-A Collisions, Michael Charles Kordell Ii
Monte-Carlo Event Generators For Jet Modification In D(P)-A And A-A Collisions, Michael Charles Kordell Ii
Wayne State University Dissertations
This work outlines methods to use jet simulations to study both initial and final state nuclear effects in heavy-ion collisions. To study the initial state of heavy-ion collisions, the production of jets and high momentum hadrons from jets, produced in deuteron ($d$)-$Au$ collisions at the relativistic heavy-ion collider (RHIC) and proton ($p$)-$Pb$ collisions at the large hadron collider (LHC) are studied as a function of \emph{centrality}, a measure of the impact parameter of the collision. A modified version of the event generator PYTHIA, widely used to simulate $p$-$p$ collisions, is used in conjunction with a nuclear Monte-Carlo event generator which …
Azimuthally-Differential Pion Femtoscopy Relative To The Second And Third Harmonic In Pb-Pb Collisions, Mohammad Saleh
Azimuthally-Differential Pion Femtoscopy Relative To The Second And Third Harmonic In Pb-Pb Collisions, Mohammad Saleh
Wayne State University Dissertations
Heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies create a hot and dense medium of deconned quarks
and gluons, known as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) [56]. The QGP reball rst expands,
cools and then freezes out into a collection of nal-state hadrons. Correlations between the
free particles carry information about the space-time extent of the emitting source, and are
imprinted on the nal-state spectra due to a quantum-mechanical interference eect [18].
The correlation of two identical particles at small relative momentum, commonly known as
intensity, or Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT), interferometry, is an eective tool to study the
space-time structure of the emitting source …
Investigation Of The Microsoft Kinect V2 Sensor As A Multi-Purpose Device For A Radiation Oncology Clinic, Evan Asher Silverstein
Investigation Of The Microsoft Kinect V2 Sensor As A Multi-Purpose Device For A Radiation Oncology Clinic, Evan Asher Silverstein
Wayne State University Dissertations
For a radiation oncology clinic, the number of devices available to assist in the workflow for radiotherapy treatments are quite numerous. Processes such as patient verification, motion management, or respiratory motion tracking can all be improved upon by devices currently on the market. These three specific processes can directly impact patient safety and treatment efficacy and, as such, are important to track and quantify. Most products available will only provide a solution for one of these processes and may be outside the reach of a typical radiation oncology clinic due to difficult implementation and incorporation with already existing hardware. This …
