Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you the seminar lecture given by Mirta 
Dumančić (Weizmann Institute of Science, Izrael), with title:

Electroweak bosons as probes for high energy nuclear physics: Recent 
ATLAS results from LHC Run-2


The seminar abstract is below.

Location: Department of Physics, F-201
Time: 13:00 (sharp) on Friday, November 8th, 2019



Abstract:
Electroweak bosons produced in collisions of heavy ions carry essential 
information related to various open topics in quantum chromodynamics. By 
measuring yields and distributions of the massive electroweak (EW) 
bosons, such as the Z boson, one can assess the parton distribution 
functions in specific kinematic regions and test their modifications in 
the nuclear environment compared to the ones of the free nucleon. In 
addition, the number of produced EW bosons offers a great opportunity to 
test our understanding of the initial collision geometry in 
proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. In the recent years, the 
ATLAS experiment at the LHC has collected a high-statistics data sample 
in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the 
center-of-mass energies of 5.02. This allows for a detailed study of the 
above-mentioned topics and comparisons of results with various 
theoretical models. This seminar will cover the recent ATLAS results and 
future perspectives
of the Z boson measurements performed by the Heavy Ion group at the 
Weizmann Institute of Science.



Srdačan pozdrav,
