I joined the group in around May 2022. The first investigation undertaken by our research team was a collaborative effort with CBM. The objective of this study was to simulate the Drell-Yan process at relatively low energies, namely within the energy range corresponding to CBM, which is around 4GeV or below. The objective of our investigation was to establish that the Drell-yan process does not serve as a source of background for the production of J/Psi particles, which exhibit a distinct mass peak around 3.1 GeV. Our findings demonstrate a high level of effectiveness.

About Saumya


The present and continuing research activity focuses on the determination of temperature and non-extensivity parameter using Tsallis Statistics. The primary objective of this study is to examine the condition that arises after the interaction between electrons and protons, often known as “ep” collisions. The HERA dataset was used as the primary source of data for this investigation. Following a proton-proton collision or a heavy ion collision such as Pb-Pb, there occurs a fleeting temporal interval during which quarks and gluons exist in an unbound state, prior to their hadronization. It should be noted that the observation of colored particles, namely quarks and gluons, is not feasible in reality, as they rapidly undergo hadronization. However, this period of unbound existence is exceedingly brief. The state discussed above is often known as quark gluon plasma (QGP). The temperature has a stable value of around 175 MeV. This specific state is mostly seen in Heavy Ion collisions, however a similar state may also be observed in pp and ep collisions, although at far lower temperatures. The states in question use a statistical framework that diverges from the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics and instead embraces a non-extensive statistical methodology rooted in the Tsallis distribution. The purpose of this study is to investigate the temperature and non-extensivity of the plasma or fluid generated after the collisions of high-energy particles.
