Dihadron correlations and flow

På svenska

Summary, in English

This thesis treats two methods for the computation of the flow found in Quark Gluon Plasma produced in lead-lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76\,$TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The results provided by the two methods show dominant elliptic and triangular flow measured for central collisions, as well as di-jets originating from hard collisions.

I denna uppsats används två metoder för att studera det flöde som antas finnas i kvark-gluon-plasma producerat i bly-bly kollisioner vid ALICE-detektorn vid LHC. Resultaten från de två metoderna påvisar ett dominant elliptiskt och triangulärt flöde för centrala kollisioner, och existensen av så kallade di-jets från hårda kollisioner.
