Vitor Shen — RUB Research Page (Archive)

Update (March 2026):

Since April 2026, I have started a new PhD position at Goethe University Frankfurt and GSI.

This page is archived and preserves my research activities and projects during my PhD studies at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (EP1), and will no longer be updated.

Note: Since April 2026

Since April 2026, my research has focused on hadron spectroscopy within the QCD at FAIR programme, including feasibility studies for strangeonium-like exotic hadrons such as the φ(2170) in proton-proton collisions using exclusive reconstruction and detector simulation within the CBM experiment.
