A summer job position is open in the experimental group of particle physics, at the Department of Physics of McGill University. The group consists of five faculty members involved in three international fundamental research projects.

The work would entail to pursue an analysis project on the ZEUS experiment. The electron-proton collisions are used in the detector to study the very fine structure of matter and the interaction mechanisms involved in the reactions. The tools of this trade being in computing, with UNIX exploitation systems and the FORTRAN programming language, an interest in computers and minimal knowledge in their use and in programming are required. The goal of the work will be the publication of an internal report on the results of this analysis project.

The work would be performed in the physics department under the supervision of a faculty member. Other colleagues, technicians and students are also part of the working environment and could answer to questions from the student. The working language in the department is normally English, but French is also frequently used. The physics student will have working room in the group lab and access to all equipement, facilities and computers as needed. The student should be especially interested, motivated and willing to take initiative.

Within the project, the student will also be initated to the methods and techniques of particle physics.
