The interpretation of the LHC results will deeply depend on a detailed understanding of the highly complex structure of proton. ATLAS is one of the general purpose detectors of the LHC. For the interested applicant, this project offers more insight into the structure of the proton and it focuses on the determination of the proton constituents from the ATLAS precise measurements sensitive to quark, antiquark and gluon dynamics. At DESY there is a unique valuable expertise on proton structure from the former electron-proton collider combined with expertise gained at the Tevatron on proton-antiproton collider physics. A dedicated analysis framework is set up and ready to be fully used for abundant new data collected from LHC data in 2011. The project combines statistical and physics knowledge to better interpret the results. The student is also offered the possibility to contribute to the development of the tools. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Physics / Computing/ Engineering Content of the project : Physics:o) Precise extraction of the Proton constituents o) Data to theory comparisons Computing: o) contribute to the analysis framework o) shell scripting (linux) o) improve plotting tools o) website ------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Qualifications expected from the student ( Computing,...) : basic linux commands, shell scripting is a plus ------------------------------------------------------------------ Other remarks : ------------------------------------------------------------------- Supervisor(s) during the project (16/07/13 - 5/09/13) : Name: Tel: email : (same as above) Voica Radescu voica@mail.desy.de Stefano Camarda stefano.camarda@gmail.com Tel : 2312/5602
