ATLAS Collaboration
2017 - 2022
My work for ATLAS consists of my doctoral thesis research on Z+heavy-flavor jet events as well as muon trigger scale factor production.
"Measurement of Associated π Boson and Heavy-Quark Jet Production in ππ Collisions at βπ = 13 TeV"
My dissertation, which measured the production cross-sections of a π boson in association with π- and π-jets. Results were compared to the predictions of three different Monte Carlo generators.
"Performance of the ATLAS muon triggers in Run 2"
Contributed production and studies of dimuon scale factors
