Jet Measurements With Proton-Proton Collisions At 7 Tev In Alice, Kevin Thompson
Jet Measurements With Proton-Proton Collisions At 7 Tev In Alice, Kevin Thompson
Physics
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most complex particle accelerator, with several experiments making discoveries at the frontiers of particle and nuclear physics. The ALICE experiment at the LHC explores the nature of the early Universe through relativistic nuclear collisions. The properties of the "quark-gluon" plasma of subatomic particles created can be investigated with particle jets, which are produced in the earliest moments of the collision. This paper will provide an overview of the analysis of particle jets in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions, which forms the baseline for understanding jet production in collisions of heavy …

Since 2009, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at European Organization
for Nuclear Research (CERN) has been conducting experiments in $pp$,
Pb-Pb, as well as $p$-Pb collisions with the center of mass energy
ranging $\sqrt{{s}_{NN}}=0.9-5.05$~TeV. In this thesis, both,
estimates of background correlations in anisotropic flow, $v_1-v_5$,
measurements
in Pb-Pb collisions at
$\sqrt{{s}_{NN}}=2.76$~TeV, and azimuthally differential pion femtoscopy
of Pb-Pb collisions are reported.
Two particle azimuthal correlations are statistically the most precise
method of measuring anisotropic flow. The main drawback of this method
is its sensitivity to the non-flow correlations, which unlike real
flow, do not have geometrical origin. Non-flow contribution …
