Student Summer Projects

1.) Compass Calibration (by Andrej Leban)

The purpose of this summer project was to determine the relation between the currents in three pairs of Helmholtz coils and the orientation (in-plane and out-of-plane angle) of magnetic field at the center of the target. For that, measurements obtained by the horizontal and vertical compass were considered.

2.) Compass calibration on He3 target (by Jan Srpcic)

The direction of the He3 polarization is dictated by the magnetic field, produced by three pairs of Helmholtz coils. In addition to the field generated by the coils, there are also the Earth's magnetic field and the fringe field of the BigBite spectrometer, whose contributions are non-negligible. The goal of this project was to determine contributions of Earth's field and BigBite fringe fields, by using a dedicated compass measurement, made during E05-102 experiment.

3.) Determination of beam energy and spectrometer central momentum with the analysis of 12C and 1H elastic data (by Jan Gospodaric)

The goal of this project was to determine energy of the incomming electron beam and the central momentum of the HRS-L spectrometer, using 12C and 1H elastic data. This analysis served us to double check the values obtained by the NMR/Hall probe (central momentum) and Tiefenbach readout (beam energy).

4.) Event viewer for HRS-L (by Tadej Dobravec)

The objective of this project was to make an event viewer (EVe) for Left High Resolution Spectrometer (HRS-L), located in Hall A at Jefferson Lab (Newport News, Virginia). The main purpose of event viewer is to show hits in the detectors for each detected event, which can be used for debugging of the spectrometer operation.

5.) Inverse transport of protons in BigBite spectrometer (by Filip Kozarski)

The purpose of this project was to develop algorithm for reconstruction of the target coordinates (\delta, \phi, \theta, y) from the measured coordinates (x,y,\phi, \theta) at the BigBite detector package, using MAFIA model of the BigBite magnetic field and shooting method in combination with numerical integrator (with adaptive step size), for the particle transport from the detector package back to the target.
