   ---------------------------------------------------------------
 

   Name :  Astrid Muennich     email :      astrid.muennich@desy.de
  
   Tel  :  2069                Room : 1.511
 
   DESY-Group/Experiment : FLC-TPC

 
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   
   Short description of the project the student should work on  :

	The group operates a large prototype TPC and several data sets taken in testbeam
	campaigns are available for analysis.	
	In a first step the student will work on testing and improving
	existing algorithms and tools for the reconstruction. For example 
	finding pulses in the data stream and calculating their properties.
	Following that data sets from the large prototype TPC
	will be analyzed to study the resolution and other characteristics of
	such a detector.		
	


  ------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   Physics / Computing/ Engineering  Content of the project :
	
	- Understanding the nature of TPC data and their reconstruction
	- Developing and testing of reconstruction algorithms
	90% physics . 10% Computing
	



  ------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  Special Qualifications expected from the student ( Computing,...) :
 
 	- Some experience with C++ programming
