Current Research:

The aim of my PhD is to extend the MadGraph5_aMC@NLO (MG5) code capabilities to achieve NLO accuracy for electron-proton collisions and extend this capability to electron-nucleus collisions. MG5 is open-source software written in Python, featuring a collaborative development structure. Currently, MG5 is used for simulating high-energy proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, proton-antiproton collisions like those at the Tevatron, and electron-positron collisions like those at LEP or B factories, including applications in Dark Matter searches. The key innovation in our work is the automation of perturbative calculations for asymmetric electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions.
