Description du sujet de thèse
The PhD will focus on the study of hot and dense nuclear matter produced in heavy-ion collisions, combining data analysis from the CMS experiment with simulation and detector work for ePIC.
The student will contribute to flagship analyses within the CMS heavy-ion program, particularly in the study of jet quenching, a key probe of the quark–gluon plasma.
In parallel, the student will engage in simulation, reconstruction, and R&D activities for ePIC, aiming to characterize nuclear structure in a novel collision regime.
Contexte de travail
The Laboratoire Leprince-Ringuet (LLR), a joint CNRS–École polytechnique research unit, is deeply involved in the CMS experiment at CERN and in the preparation of the ePIC detector for the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), USA.
The CMS group at LLR plays a key role in the heavy-ion physics program of the LHC, particularly in the analysis of Pb–Pb and p–Pb collisions, and contributes to future detector development.
