Production of φ Mesons as a Function of Multiplicity & Spherocity
Under detta projekt s˚a analyserades h¨ogenergetiska proton-proton kollisioner i syftet f¨or att b¨attre f¨orst˚a hur den starka v¨axelverkan med hj¨alp av gluoner h˚aller ihop kvarkar, en av materians fundamentalpartiklar, f¨or att bilda hadroner. Dessa h¨ogenergetiska protoner accelereras upp till 99 % av ljusets hastighet med hj¨alp av partikelacceleratorn ”Large Hadron Collider” (LHC), innan dThe purpose of this project is to further investigate whether the collective behavior observed in high energy proton-proton (p-p) collision can be attributed to the formation of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). This is done by measuring the production rate of the strange φ meson in high multiplicity p-p collisions at √sNN = 13 TeV. The high multiplicity p-p events are then divided into different transver
