NSERC Summer Student Position (2003)

"Instrumentation R&D for the Collider Detector at Fermilab "

Prof. Pierre Savard

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 the design and building of an alignment system for the plug calorimeter of CDF and for the silicon vertex detector upgrade.    Field trips to Fermilab may be necessary over the course of the summer to participate in the installation of the plug calorimeter alignment system.
