NSERC Summer Student Position (2004)
"Top Quark Physics with the Collider Detector at Fermilab "
The Collider Detector at Fermilab
(CDF) experiment is currently collecting
and analyzing data on the very highest energy matter-antimatter collisions
ever observed. The Toronto-CDF
group is involved in several measurements related to the production and decay
of top quarks in these collisions.
The group has an opening for a summer student position
to participate in these studies. In particular, the student will
be involved in the creation, validation and study of the large-scale Monte
Carlo samples that will be created with the Big Mac Beowulf
cluster at Toronto, and will work closely with the Toronto researchers
involved in these studies.
One or two
field trips to Fermilab may be necessary over the course of the summer
to meet other collaborators working on related topics.
