Please return to : Olaf Behnke ZEUS/F1 01a/O1.132 Tel. 3854 or email to : obehnke@mail.desy.de,doris.eckstein@desy.de Request for a DESY Summer Student in 2013 --------------------------------------------------------------- Name : Alberto Martinez de la Ossa email : delaossa@mail.desy.de Tel : 1569 Room : 1e/O2.508 DESY-Group/Experiment : FLA/Plasma ---------------------------------------------------------------- Short description of the project the student should work on : The summer student will work on the analysis of Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations in the plasma acceleration group. These simulations serve as preparatory studies for plasma acceleration experiments which will be conducted at DESY in the nearest future. Achieving high beam quality (small energy spread, small emittance) is of crucial importance for future success of plasma acceleration experiments, and PIC simulations provide important insight into the dynamics of the injected particle beam. The student will work on calculations and analysis of the most important beam parameters, with the goal of further optimization of the injection and acceleration processes. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Physics / Computing/ Engineering Content of the project : The analysis will be done with C++/ROOT libraries or Matlab. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Qualifications expected from the student ( Computing,...) : Initial knowledge of C++ or Matlab or at least basic programming skills in unix environments are required. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Other remarks : --- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Supervisor(s) during the project (16/07/12 - 5/09/12) : Name: Alberto Martinez de la Ossa Tel: 1569 email : delaossa@mail.desy.de Name: Julia Grebenyuk Tel: 1825 email : julia.grebenyuk@desy.de Name: Timon Mehrling Tel: 3062 email : timon.mehrling@desy.de
