For my D.Phil thesis I am working on the SNO experiment, which is a water Cherenkov solar neutrino experiment based in Sudbury, Canada. I am working on the data obtained during the first phase of the experiment when the detecting medium was pure D2O. My analysis is focussed on extraction of the charged current spectral shape, especially at lower energies where different solutions to the solar neutrino problem manifest themselves through different shapes. I am also involved in optical calibration work and have carried out analysis to measure the Rayleigh scattering length in the heavy water. |

For my Ph.D. thesis I am working on simulation of a cube kilometer scale Cherenkov detector, developed for ANTARES project, which propose construction of a deep underwater high energy cosmic neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea near Toulon. Various possible detector configurations are considered. This work helps us to know the behavior and the characteristics of the simulated detector and find possible problems during development phase. Now I am working on reconstruction software for the future detector. Obtained results allow us to sufficiently increase reconstruction efficiency for simulated muon tracks with energies in a range of 1 TeV - 10 TeV. These data will be useful for choosing geometry of the detector and further detector optimization. |

Now I am on my second year of Ph.D. studies. I am involved in preparation of Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector to be operated at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN. Currently I take part in developing the code of simulations concerning Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) used by CMS detector. So I work on simulation of te muon trigger based on RPCs and also take part in testing and physics validation (RPCs) of object oriented simulation of CMS detector. |
