معرفی
Rongrong Ma is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory, specializing in experimental Nuclear Physics. Their research focuses on studying the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) through jet measurements in relativistic heavy-ion collisions using the ALICE detector. They completed their Ph.D. at Yale University in 2014 under the supervision of John Harris, with a dissertation exploring jet cross-sections in proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions.
Research interests include understanding energy loss mechanisms of high transverse momentum partons in the QGP medium, jet reconstruction techniques, and background subtraction methodologies in heavy-ion experiments. Their work contributes to validating perturbative QCD predictions and probing the properties of extreme matter.
Rongrong's experimental contributions involve analyzing azimuthal correlations between trigger hadrons and recoil jets in ALICE data, advancing techniques to disentangle signal from background in Pb-Pb collisions. They are part of the ALICE collaboration, a major international effort in high-energy physics.
