Sierra Cantway successfully defends thesis, "Probing jet hadrochemistry modification with measurements of identified particles in jets and the underlying event in pp and Pb–Pb collisions with ALICE"
Cantway’s thesis focuses on understanding the strong force, improving our understanding of jet-QGP interactions and hadronization.
-
Andrew Tamis successfully defends thesis, "Measurement of Energy Correlators Within Jets at STAR"
Presents the first measurement of energy correlators at RHIC in proton-proton collisions, and introduces a method that will enable future measurements
-
Chitres Guria successfully defends thesis, “Measuring the geometry and topology of non-Hermitian systems”
The thesis is study of Newtonian mechanics of a simple, but ubiquitous system of coupled classical harmonic oscillators, whose parameters can be tuned
