Overall Project Details

Title of the Project Search for Structures in the Photoproduction of Different Reactions

Project Keywords Physics, Data Analysis, Programming

Are you currently looking for research assistants? Yes

Number of Research Assistants Needed 2

Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) Open to all majors, but physics is preferred

Project Location: On FSU Main Campus

If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? {Empty}

Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): Partially Remote

Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work? 7 hrs

Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)

Overall Research Project Description The student will perform a survey on a physics reaction looking for intermediate resonances. This means that they will have to identify their final state particles, eliminate backgrounds, and plot mass distributions or other kinematical variables that would allow for potential identification of the parent particle of the final state particles. The students will write or modify code to help them analyze the physics events. In addition, the student will learn to generate Monte Carlo simulations to understand the behavior of potential intermediary resonances.

Research Tasks The student's primary task consists of data analysis performed by writing or modifying code. The students will also review articles to provide context for the research they will be performing.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Basic physics knowledge is needed. Knowledge of Linux OS, C++ coding, and presentation will be developed through the project. If the student already has this knowledge, the learning curve will be smaller, but it is not required.

Mentoring Philosophy As mentors, we like to understand the needs and backgrounds of the students to make sure we can adjust the project to a level that will promote growth. We do not provide all the answers as we believe there is a lot to learn from a challenging environment. Nonetheless, we are open to brainstorming and guiding the students so that they gain the necessary skills and confidence to continue the path forward. We like to provide resources that will serve as tools to enhance the learning process.
