ICHEP 2018

Jul 11, 2018

The 39th edition of the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP 2018) was hosted in Seoul, South Korea from July 4th – 11th. ICHEP is the largest high energy physics conference in the world and serves as a vital platform for exchanging recent achievements and ideas in particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. During the heavy ion session, undergraduate Anthony Badea gave a very interesting talk on the measurement of the “Two-Particle Correlation in e+ e- Collisions at 91.2 GeV with ALEPH Archived Data“. This result serves as an important step towards understanding the origin of collective flow phenomenon observed in small systems.
