Project content in % (Physics/Engineering/ Computing)

The physics and special issues involved in the measurement will be explained
by the superviser. Computing tools and corresponding informations will be
provided by experts present at CERN. Some physics and technical notions
(principle and operation of the detectors and their Front End electronics)
will be also be provided to the student. Project content will be half physics
and half computing.
Project proposal:
The COMPASSS experiment studies hadron structure. During the summer 2012, pion
and muon beams will be scattered on nucleon targets in order to study pion
polarisability (deformation in electric and magnetic fields). Excellent
performance of large area particle trackers is required. The proposed work
will focus on quasi online data analysis with the goal to quantify and
optimize the tracking precision and efficiency.
