Please return to : Olaf Behnke ZEUS/F1 01b/260 Tel. 3854 or email to : obehnke@mail.desy.de Request for a DESY Summer Student in 2011 --------------------------------------------------------------- Name : Roman Kogler email : roman.kogler@desy.de Tel : 1618 Room : Bldg 10 / Room 111 DESY-Group/Experiment : H1 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Short description of the project the student should work on : Combined alpha_s measurement using published H1 and ZEUS jet data. Fits with NLOJet++ and FastNLO. Estimation of uncertainties, test of compatibility of the results, studies of the renormalisation and factorisation scale dependence. Tests of different PDFs, estimation of the PDF uncertainties on the alpha_s fits. The goal is to obtain a running of alpha_s plot with different values of alpha_s at different scales. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Physics / Computing/ Engineering Content of the project : Physics ------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Qualifications expected from the student ( Computing,...) : Basic understanding of QFT (or even better: QCD) and statistics, C++, Unix, Root ------------------------------------------------------------------ Other remarks : We would like to have 2 Students, there is lots of work. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Supervisor(s) during the project (19/07/11 - 8/09/11) : Name: Tel: email : Guenter Grindhammer 2590 guenterg@desy.de Roman Kogler 1618 roman.kogler@desy.de Daniel Britzger 3971 daniel.britzger@desy.de
