Fragmentation Functions for Light and Heavy Quarks in Simulated Proton-Proton Collisions by Sadoun, Nermin Kamal

“…This thesis analyzes near-side and away-side particle yields, azimuthal correlations, and the nuclear modification √ factor IAA for π 0 and J/ψ triggers in p-p collisions at s = 13 TeV, with data generated using PYTHIA. The dependence of these observables on particle multiplicity, transverse momentum thresholds, and fragmentation variables provides detailed insights into the contrasting behavior of soft (π 0 ) and hard (J/ψ) fragmentation processes. …”
