The ZEUS collaboration collected about 500 pb-1 of data at
the ep collider, HERA. The data was taken primarily at a centre-of-mass
energy of 318 GeV, although data sets at lower energies are also available.
Roughly equal amounts of electron-proton and positron-proton data was taken,
also with a polarised lepton beam.
In order to fully exploit the rich physics available from this large
data set, the following programme for short term participation in the
ZEUS collaboration has been established.
The participant may be either a PhD candidate or a PhD physicist.
A participant from an institute not in ZEUS may be allowed access
to ZEUS data for a period up to 2 years (extensions may be possible)
under the following conditions.
One of the ZEUS institutes undertakes to sponsor this participant.
The sponsoring institute and the participant (and the PhD supervisor
in case of a PhD candidate) outline the planned participation
and submit it to the spokesperson of ZEUS. The plan should, in
general, lead to a physics publication.
The proposal is accepted by the spokesperson.
The participant will be, as a rule, listed as author
under the sponsoring institute for the ZEUS papers produced during
the defined period of participation. Any paper which significantly
benefits from the work done by the participant will also have
him/her as an author regardless of when it is published.
This authorship rights may be different depending on the degree
of involvement in ZEUS proposed.
The work done by the PhD candidate during his/her visit to ZEUS may
form a part of his/her PhD thesis.
The list of participating and former institutes in ZEUS can be found
