144. Bayesian Constraints of Quark Gluon Plasma Properties

Prof. Gojko Vujanovic (University of Regina)

QCD and Hadrons

Invited Oral

The ongoing goal of relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments is to constrain the properties of nuclear media under extreme densities. Mounting evidence gathered from these experiments suggests that a strongly interacting plasma of quarks and gluons – the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) – is created within these collisions. The QGP is well described using multi-stage simulations, where...

146. Quadratic Level Full Electroweak Leptonic Corrections with Covariant Approach

Mr Mahumm Ghaffar

QCD and Hadrons

Contributed Oral

In order to search for the physics beyond the Standard Model at the precision frontier, it is sometimes essential to account for Next-to-Next- Leading Order (NNLO) theoretical corrections. Using the covariant approach, we calculated the full electroweak leptonic tensor up to quadratic (one loop squared) NNLO (α3) order, which can be used for the processes like e^− p and μ^− p scattering...

104. Precise Measurement of Photomultiplier Tube Non-Linearity for the MOLLER Experiment

Mr Muthugala Gunawardhana (University of Manitoba)

Nuclear Physics

Contributed Oral

The MOLLER (Measurement of a Lepton-Lepton Electroweak Reaction) experiment aims to measure the weak mixing angle with unprecedented precession at low momentum transfer. The measurement will be carried out with Jefferson Laboratory's state-of-the-art Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) to measure the parity violating scattering asymmetry of 11 GeV highly-polarized electrons...

102. Enhancing Measurement Precision in PVES Experiments: The Impact of Bayesian Analysis on the Results of the Qweak and MOLLER Experiments

Ms Fatemeh Gorgannejad (University of Manitoba)

2024-02-16, 9:30 a.m.

Physics Beyond the Standard Model

Contributed Oral

Parity Violating Electron Scattering (PVES) experiments are a powerful tool for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. These experiments, which conduct highly accurate measurements of the parity-violating asymmetry across various kinematic conditions and targets, significantly contribute to advancements in particle, nuclear, and hadronic physics. Achieving precise...

105. Commissioning of a Pair of Commercial Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) for the Position Calibration of HVMAPS Using Cosmic-Ray Muons

Mr Noel Alberto Cruz Venegas (University of Manitoba)

2024-02-16, 9:45 a.m.

Contributed Oral

The High Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HVMAPS) will be used as electron detectors in The Measurement of a Lepton-Lepton Electroweak Reaction (MOLLER) experiment. The HVMAPS will map the response across the face of the quartz integrating detectors. Using two commercial GEM detectors, a position calibration system for the MOLLER's HVMAP was commisionned. The pair of of GEMs are...
