ML-assisted measurements of heavy-flavour mesons in pp collisions

Annotation

1. Get familiar with the topic of hadronic collisions (pp, pA, AA).
2. Study the latest development of measuring signals sensitive to the creation of quark-gluon plasma in smaller systems (pp, pA), e.g. heavy-flavour mesons (e.g. D, B, J/psi, Upsilon).
3. Perform an analysis of e.g. Upsilon or J/psi production in pp collisions using Monte Carlo simulations and/or data from RHIC and the LHC.
4. Focus on particle identification, event reconstruction, and the effects of detector performance on reconstructed observables.
5. Explore Machine Learning/Deep Learning--based analysis techniques and event activity/shape observables.
