On 15th of June 2000 i graduated from Warsaw university of Technology, Faculty of Physics, receiving Masters Degree in Computer Physics. The subject of my thesis was "Particle correlations at small relative velocities in heavy-ion collisions". Since November 2000 I am a Ph.D. student the same faculty. My main activity is STAR experiment data analysis and working on my Ph.D. thesis: "Studies of non-identical meson-meson correlations at low relative velocities in relativistic heavy-ion collisions registered by the STAR experiment".
I am currently working on non-identical particle correlations. As an experimental side of this work I participate in the analysis of data from STAR Experiment, which is operating at the RHIC in Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY, USA. I am also a part of the ALICE Experiment, which will operate in CERN. I have also been a member of CAMAC Students Assocition. For more information about it, please visit its webpage where we describe our activities. We have also created a database containg a collection of talks and presentations given by members of our assocciation. What am I working on now At present I am working on non-identical particle correlations. I have been making experimental work in this area by participating in the analysis of data from the STAR experiment, which is working at RHIC, situated in Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY, USA. In order to be able to interpret the data, I have been also working on theoretical calculations with the help of havy-ion collision models: RQMD, UrQMD, blast-wave parameterization, hydrodynamic model, and so-called "single freeze-out" model from the Cracow group. The current status of my analysis can be found at this page. Since the results presented thare are still preliminary and not official, this page is only accessible to the members of the STAR collaboration. What have I done already During the summer of 1998, inbetween 3rd and 4th year of my studies I visited Ecole des Mines de Nantes. The story if this trip I will put on a spearate page. During my stay in this Uniersity I have been working on experimental data analysis for the WA98 experiment. My tasks included enhancing the quality of Particle Identification for interferometric calculations. I have made preliminary calculations of correlation functions for identical and non-identical particle pairs with the use of GoCom software. During summer vacation of 1999 I have been on my longest (so far) scientific trip. I was invited by BNL STAR group Supervisor Timothy Hallman to BNL. I stayed there for three months beginning 16 July, ending 16 October 1999. I was working there as a member of the STAR Group of Institute of Physics from Warsaw University of Technology. I contributed to the work of On-Line software group, my supervisor was Claude Pruneau. My tasks included:
A more detailed description of my vist, and my work there can be found on a separate page. A week after my return to Poland I went for two weeks to Ecole des Mines de Nantes. During this visit I met theoreticians working on HBT interferometry. I also began my work on a software for calculating correlation functions, written in a STAR off-line software framework. At the end of my stay, during STAR SSD meeting, I gave a short presentation about my work at BNL. During the rest of year 1999 and the beginning of 2000 I was busy writing my thesis, which i eventually defended on 15 June 2000. One of the parts of my diploma thesis was empolying the hydrodynamical model created by prof. Y. Sinyukov to simulate heavy-ion collisions and calculate the correlation functions. I cooperated closely with prof. Sinyukov. My initial results with hydrodynamical model are presented on a separate page. In November 2000 I began my Ph.D. studies at Faculty of Physisc, Warsaw University of Technology in the field of Nuclear Physics. In November 2000 I spent two weeks in CERNie. I gave a talk concernig the "STAR HBT Maker" - the sofware used in particle correlation analysis in the STAR experiment and possibilities to use this software in ALICE. I also began working on the MEVSIM event generator and its applications in ALICE. During the few days 7.01.2001 to 12.01.2001 I participated in STAR Collaboration Meeting held at Texas university, Austin. There presented to the collaboration the first results in non-identical particle correlations for STAR. Most of the results were obtained by Fabrice Retiere from LBNL, with whom I intend to cooperate in this field. Betweem 15.01 - 21.01.2001 I attended the Quark Matter 2001 Conference held at Sony Brook university and BNL. I presented a poster "Correlations of non-identical particles in Au-Au collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 130 GeV".
