Brief description of the Research Team / Research Group / Department
The research team is a world leader in the subject of TMD factorization, resummation, data análisis for hadron structure sensitive experiments. The group includes other senior researchers (A. Vladimirov, P. Zurita) and PhD students working on the same subject. The group is part of several European Actions like MSCA-STAFF EXCHANGE GRANT HEI (https://high-energy-intelligence.github.io/HeI/index.html) and COST ACTION SHARP 24159 and is also funded by national grants.We work in contact with working groups of LHC, EIC, JLab, Belle-II.
Research lines / projects proposed
One of the most fundamental questions in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is understanding the mechanism of hadronization and the internal 3D dynamics of quarks and gluons. In recent years, breakthrough factorization theorems have allowed us to rigorously define and extract Transverse Momentum Dependent distributions (TMDs). These distributions are critical for interpreting data from current experiments (LHC, Belle II) and are a primary pillar for future facilities like the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and the FCC.
At the IPARCOS Institute (Universidad Complutense Madrid), we lead a major research program combining formal Effective Field Theory (EFT) frameworks with high-order perturbative calculations and data-driven phenomenology. I am seeking motivated postdoctoral candidates to develop innovative MSCA Fellowship proposals. We are particularly interested in projects that bridge QCD with:
Factorization, High-order theoretical calculations and resummation.
AI/Machine Learning for global fits and PDF/TMD extractions and predictions.
Monte Carlo development and Quantum Information applications to hadron structure.
