Project: B16s

Title:          Physics validation in the Key4HEP common software framework for future colliders

DESY group:     FTX

Type:           Tandem: On-site part

Duration:       6 - 7 weeks, 27th july - 10th sep 2021

Description:

The FTX Software (SFT) group is very actively involved in the Key4HEP project,
which aims to develop common software for future collider projects. The group is
currently involved in the development of a new and common event data model (EDM)
at the core of the common software stack. An important aspect of these efforts
is the physics validation and testing of this EDM and the whole software stack.

The project would entail the development and implementation of test and
benchmark cases for the EDM and the Key4HEP software stack. Depending on the
interests of the students these efforts would focus on investigating potentially
interesting physics channels and/or in developing the necessary validation
tools. While the former part can be done remotely, the latter part could greatly
benefit from on-site supervision.

In the end the two students would collaborate among each other as well as with
the Key4HEP community to integrate their resulting work into the project.


Special Qualifications expected:

Programming knowledge in either C++ or python is essential. Ideally first
experiences with ROOT and/or python statistics libraries (scipy, numpy, pandas,
...), but not strictly necessary. Basic statistics and particle physics
knowledge.

Cancellation policy: This on-site part of the project may be cancelled any time due
to COVID pandemic restrictions. It will not be transformed into an online project.
