معرفی
Daniel Pablos Alfonso is a Marie Curie contract researcher in the Department of Particle Physics at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE). His research focuses on theoretical particle physics, particularly jet quenching and the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions. He is a core member of the TEOFPACC research group, specializing in the theoretical analysis of jet-medium interactions.
He earned his PhD in 2016 from the University of Barcelona with a thesis titled *Jets as Probes of Strongly Coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma*, supervised by Dr. Jorge Casalderrey Solana. His work bridges high-energy physics experiments (RHIC, LHC) with advanced theoretical frameworks like the JETSCAPE collaboration’s multi-stage simulation tool.
His research interests include:
- Jet substructure modifications as probes of QGP properties
- Holographic models for heavy quark energy loss
- Hybrid strong/weak coupling approaches to jet-medium interactions
- Machine learning applications for jet tomography
- Simultaneous treatment of minijets and hydrodynamic evolution
Recent publications highlight innovations such as visualizing jet wakes via energy correlators and isolating perturbative QCD effects in dense media. His work consistently advances understanding of QGP transport properties through multi-scale modeling and experimental predictions for facilities like sPHENIX.
Collaborations with the JETSCAPE framework demonstrate his leadership in developing computational tools that combine perturbative and non-perturbative physics. His studies of azimuthal anisotropy (v₂) and jet suppression scaling across RHIC and LHC energies provide critical benchmarks for medium-response theories.
