Théorique, numérique
Charmonium and bottomonium production, bound states consisting of a heavy quark and its anti-quark, cc and bb pairs respectively, provide interesting opportunities to study the interplay between the perturbative and non-perturbative regimes of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) which is at the heart of formation of hadrons such as the proton. The goal of the internship will be to understand concepts of Next-To-Leading Order (NLO) calculational techniques, renormalisation and factorisation in the framework of quarkonium production.
