NSERC Summer Student Position (2004)

"Improving Jet Reconstruction Software for the Collider Detector at Fermilab"

Prof. Pierre Savard

savard@physics.utoronto.ca


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 electroweak and top quark physics. The group has an opening for a summer student position to participate in these studies. In particular, the student will be involved in improving jet reconstruction software and will help us study jet energy scale systematics in the context of the top quark mass measurement.
