Bio
Takuma Matsumoto is a Master's student in the Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering at Hiroshima University, specializing in high-energy nuclear physics. He is particularly interested in elucidating the spatial distribution of gluons inside nuclei and nucleons.
As a member of the ALICE collaboration at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), his research focuses on data analysis of vector meson photoproduction in ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions (UPCs). Through this work, he aims to contribute to exploring gluon saturation phenomena and deep-level understanding of nucleon structure in the future.
Recognizing the critical importance of computing infrastructure in modern experiments, he also plays a leading role in constructing and managing the daily operations of the "Hiroshima Tier-2 site," which directly supports the distributed computing infrastructure dedicated to the ALICE experiment.
