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.

and a team of huskies

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.

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 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.

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.
