Abstract

This fund will support two undergraduate students working on Jefferson lab PrimEx project. They will work on hybrid crystal calorimeter development, and be responsible for the photo-multiplier tube's examination and selection by measuring the linearity and high rate stability. They will also work on Monte Carlo simulation for the coordinate reconstruction of HYCAL. Upon the availability of travel funds, they may stay at Jefferson Lab for two months in the summer to work on the detector assembling and beam test. The participation of undergraduate students in the physics frontier research will provide them with interesting challenges while developing skills in many areas. Funds from this proposal will therefore enrich a solid undergraduate physics program.
