PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES
2009-2014, Physicist at European Organization for Nuclear Physics (CERN) Project: " A search for long-lived massive staus in the LHCb detector at s = 7 and 8 TeV" The purpose of the project is to distinguish a new particle, named stau, from the well understood particles using the signals that these particles leave in the detector.
• Simulated the interactions of the particles in the detector of the LHCb experiment.
• Analysed the Monte-Carlo data and the real data collected by the LHCb experiment.
• Used the Neural Network to classify the new particle from the other particles by using their four signals leaving in the detector.
• Applied the statistical methods to predict the probability of finding the new particle. Key achievements:
The result of the project was approved by 705 physicists of the LHCb experiment and published on the European Physical Journal C.
Data manager at the LHCb experiment
• Controlled the statement of the LHCb machine.
• Fixed and reported errors.
• Communicated with the experts.
Key achievements:
The quality of the data collected by the LHCb experiment has been guaranteed for the further analysis.
