Determining charm meson decay track multiplicities

This project is ongoing.

Experiments studying the charm quark need to understand how frequently it decays into different possible final states. The CLEO experiment collected a huge sample of charm quark decays which can be analyzed to measure these probabilities with high precision.

Qualifications

PHY 362L is strongly preferred.

Project Timeline

Available immediately.

Duties

Analyzing data from the CLEO experiment to determine D0 meson decay probabilities to different final states. Possibly work to install the software at UT.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
