Graduate Student Meetings Updates

Graduate Student Meetings are held on each Monday at 3 PM ET (2 PM CT). This page contains updates on each week from each student. 

Here are some of the topics each student working on as of August 2024. These topics will be updated on a timely basis:

Jay Daniels: 

Nuwan Chaminda:

• Sensitivity to target positioning, changes in packing fraction, materials
• Sensitivity to average beam positioning in our asymmetry
• Offline Polarization Analysis

Dima Watkins: 

Devin Seay: 

Sujan Subedi: 

Nisal Vismith: 

Apart from the above topics, the group as a whole is currently working on the following topics as of August 2024. These are also listed on "List of Tasks for SpinQuest Analysis":

• First stage Drell-Yan asymmetry analysis (k/q-tracker)
• QTracker:
  • Configure Q-Tracker for Offline analysis
  • QTracker Progress
  • Q-Tracker Online Monitoring
• Study how to implement profile monitoring to improve (on/off-line) analysis
• Detailed understanding of detector and tracking covariance matrix
• System of skimming and sharing data from different parts of algorithm (Event filter, track finder,...)
• Messy Events (MC) and Mixed Events (MC combinatorial) universalized
