Request for a DESY Summer Student in 2011
  ---------------------------------------------------------------


  Name :  Mikhail Karnevskiy, Alexander Glazov     email : mikhail.karnevskiy@desy.de , glazov@mail.desy.de

  Tel  :    4671 (2482)                  Room :  03 /118 (01a/01.109)

  DESY-Group/Experiment :  ATLAS


  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Short description of the project the student should work on  :

"Analysis of ATLAS data for pp->Z->ee channel."  Data collected until
summer of 2011 are expected to provide significant increase in statics
of produced Z bosons.  These data can be used for detector performance
understanding: calorimeter calibration, efficiency studies. The DESY
ATLAS group is actively involved in the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter
calibration. The obtained calibration constants are used for all ATLAS
physics analyses, including the search for the Higgs boson decaying
into gamma-gamma pairs. The student will participate in determination
of the calibration constants for the coming data, investigation and
optimisation of the calibration procedure.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------

  Physics / Computing/ Engineering  Content of the project :

Standard Model Z-boson production. Studies of performance of the LAr
calorimeter. Programming in C++, scripting
languages. Minimisation/optimisation problems.

------------------------------------------------------------------

 Special Qualifications expected from the student ( Computing,...) :

 Basic knowledge of linux, c++, ROOT, scripting languages.
