EXPERIENCE Undergraduate Research Assistant Summer

2012-present

. Researched over the optimization of angular asymmetry

in colliders for spin identification of resonant

boson produced through Drell-Yan.

. Specially looked at the polar and azimuthal angular

asymmetry in PDFs and proposed optimal weight

function that could be used to maximize the asymmetry

for spin identification.

. Extended the research over the Lorentz invariant

frame using the rapidity formulation for the

consistency of the proposed optimal weight.

. Research work was also presented by S Dalley (Mentor)

at Light Cone Conference 2012 Cracow Poland and paper

submitted for conference proceeding as a second

author.
