The Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment

在这个项目中，学生将从事费米实验室μ介子g-2实验。学生将负责维护实验的秸秆跟踪探测器所使用的数据采集系统。学生将提高秸秆跟踪探测器的性能，无论是在成功重建带电粒子轨迹的分数，并在减少确定的轨迹的不确定性。这种改进的跟踪将用于减少在确定（g-2）中的系统不确定性，特别是那些与垂直和径向射束运动有关的不确定性。学生将更新μ子电偶极矩的极限（或测量它），其灵敏度预计将超过先前测量的灵敏度至少10倍，可能是100倍。

In this project the student will work on the Fermilab muon g-2 experiment. The student will be responsible for maintaining the data acquisition system used by the experiment's straw tracking detectors. The student will improve the performance of the straw tracking detectors both in terms of the fraction of charged particle trajectories that are successfully reconstructed and in reducing the uncertainty of the determined trajectories. This improved tracking will be used to reduce the systematic uncertainties in the determination of (g-2) particularly those associated with the vertical and radial beam motion. The student will update the limit on the muon's electric dipole moment (or measure it) with a sensitivity that is expected to surpass that from previous measurements by at least a factor of 10 and likely a factor of 100.
