Heavy Flavour - Charged Particles Correlations with ALICE at the LHC

The book is all about the Thesis titled Measurement of angular correlations between D0 mesons and charged particles in pPb collisions at ¿sNN = 5.02 TeV with ALICE at the LHC. The book delves into the measurement of angular correlations between D0 mesons and charged particles in pPb collisions at ¿s_NN = 5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It presents a comprehensive exploration of the correlations observed and their implications for our understanding of heavy-ion collisions and the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP).The book begins by providing the necessary theoretical background and motivation for studying these angular correlations. It then proceeds to describe the experimental setup and data collection techniques employed by the ALICE collaboration during the pPb collisions at the LHC. The focus of the book is the presentation and analysis of the observed angular correlations between D0 mesons (a charm quark and an up or down antiquark) and charged particles. The dependence of these correlations on parameters such as transverse momentum and pseudorapidity is thoroughly investigated, offering valuable insights for this field of research.
