Request for a DESY Summer Student in 2013 --------------------------------------------------------------- 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 understanding and evaluating existing algorithms and tools for the reconstruction. For example the development of a visualization tool for the different steps in the reconstruction chain would be a valuable tool. Following that the developed tools are used to study the properties of data sets from the large prototype TPC. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Physics / Computing/ Engineering Content of the project : - Understanding the nature of TPC data and their reconstruction - Evaluation and improvement of reconstruction tools 50% physics / 50% Computing ------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Qualifications expected from the student ( Computing,...) : - Some experience with C++ programming ------------------------------------------------------------------ Other remarks : ------------------------------------------------------------------- Supervisor(s) during the project (16/07/12 - 5/09/12) : Name: Astrid Muennich Tel: 2069 email : astrid.muennich@desy.de
