Research statement
My main activity at present is the implementation of quarkonium cross sections in the well-known event generator MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. The aim is to provide an efficient, all-encompassing tool that anyone can use to simulate quarkonium production at colliders and be versatile enough to handle final states with multiple quarkonium production in association with elementary particles. This will ultimately facilitate the first global NRQCD phenomenological analyses comparing theory and experiment, and enable sound physics-case constructions for current (LHC@CERN, Belle-II@KEK, RHIC@BNL,…) and future (EIC@BNL, FCC@CERN, …) experimental programs. In addition, I work on exclusive heavy-quarkonium production, with a focus on applying this knowledge to the gluon parton distribution function at moderate-to-low momentum fractions and scales, as well as contributing to future global generalised parton distribution extractions.
