Overview

Sándor Lökös is an assistant professor at MATE Institute of Technology and he conducts his research in the Laboratory for Femtoscopy. His main focus is on high energy heavy ion data analysis recorded by the PHENIX experiment, one of the large collaboration, at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, in Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA. He performs two-particle correlation measurements utilizing Levy distributed source hypothesis and aim for the observation of in-medium mass modification effects and partially coherent particle production. He also contributes to research on the field of relativistic hydrodynamics that is a useful modelling toolkit to understand the perfect liquid behaviour of the system which is created in heavy ion collisions that resembles the medium filled our Universe when it was just a microsecond old.

He is one of the co-chair of the Zimányi Winter Workshop and the guest editor of several proceedings volume related to it. He regularly works and publish together with international collaborators on the field of high energy particle physics.

Projects

Minitaura 7 / 2023/07/X/ST2/00652, Entanglement entropy in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions
In the grant realization, S.L. studied the feasibility, theoretical and technical details of a charged particle multiplicity measurement within the ALICE Collaboration. The grant supported visits to the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and the Technical University of Prague, too. The outcomes of the grant were a regular research paper and a conference proceedings paper.
