SURF: Announcements of Opportunity
Below are Announcements of Opportunity posted by Caltech faculty and JPL technical staff for the SURF program. Each AO indicates whether or not it is open to non-Caltech students. If an AO is NOT open to non-Caltech students, please DO NOT contact the mentor. Announcements of Opportunity are posted as they are received. Please check back regularly for new AO submissions!
Remember: This is just one way that you can go about identifying a suitable project and/or mentor. Click here for more tips on finding a mentor. Announcements for external summer programs are listed here.
*Students applying for JPL projects should complete a SURF@JPL application instead of a "regular" SURF application.
*Students pursuing opportunities at JPL must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.

| Project: | Optimization of plastic scinitillator bars for the LDMX experiment | ||||||||
| Discipline: | Physics | ||||||||
| Mentor: |
DAVID HITLIN,
Professor, (PMA),
hitlin@caltech.edu, |
||||||||
| Mentor URL: | http://www.hep.caltech.edu/~hitlin/ (opens in new window) | ||||||||
| Background: | The LDMX experiment employs large plastic scintillator bars inits hadron calorimeter. This project will combine computer studies aimed at optimizing the method of collection of scinitllation light and laboratory studies of varies temperaturee treatments aimed at improving aging characteristics of the scintillator. | ||||||||
| Description: |
Monte Carlo calculations of light collection in bars. Various annealing treatments of the plastic, with subsequent measurement of light yield. |
||||||||
| Student Requirements: |
Python, C++ and GEANT4 General laboratory skills |
||||||||
| Programs: |
This AO can be done under the following programs:
