Endcap Material Studies

Continue study of LAC endcap material. New MC has considerably more material than last time, but not as much as in Kevin Pitts study. Perhaps ECDC tracking, when available, will be a useful tool for studying Bhabhas in LAC endcaps. If you are interested in this work, please contact Eric Vella

Move experiment to LEP

You will need a large crane and a team of huskies

If you are interested working on this project, please contact johnsona

LAC Cluster Cleanup

Clusters which fail a set of quality cuts (minimum energy, EM hits, ...) are currently deleted from KRFCLUS and PHKLUS banks. It would be nice if somebody took a fresh look to make sure nothing good is being dumped. If you are interested in this work, please contact Eric Vella

Charged Track Reconstrution in the VXD3 Era

A working group is forming with the assigned task to develop pattern recognition and integrated tracking for the drift chambers and vertex detector in the VXD3 era. This is an exciting project with real physics ramifications in the future. A tracking efficiency of greater than 99% should greatly increase our ability to do charge/neutral lifetime ratios, full event topological reconstructions, and mixing measurements, as well as the normal quark flavor tagging. If these physics topics interest you please consider devoting some time to this project. I am particularly looking for people who can make a real contribution to this effort by devoting 50% or more of their time for at least three months, and up to a year. If you are interested in this work, please contact Mike Strauss

Example Job Listing Number 1

This phony example is provided as a template for people writing ads for this page.

Help is needed with the SLD snurfle relapse control system. No specific experience is required beyond a general familiarity with the SLD offline software environment. The work would provide an excellent opportunity for one to learn how snurfle control systems work and how to manage relapse fenestrators. A minimum of half time effort for at least six months would be necessary for one to make a useful contribution to this system. We expect to publish no papers and to generate no interest in the general physics community. Persons wishing to advance their careers in any significant way should avoid this project. If you are interested in this work, please contact Joseph Perl

I am leading an effort to replace any and all existing SLD offline code with new and better code. Please let me know if you would be interested in helping. Mystery Collaborator
