• Carlos Lievano:
  • Fall and Spring 2014 Project: Learning how to identify pulse signals within raw data to perform first phase of data analysis
• Javiera LaTorre:
  • Fall and Spring 2014 Project: Develop a fitting technique to separate low voltage triton pulse signals from low energy and noise signals in PD data

Available Research Opportunities

• We have recently completed our PD data collection. Now we are in need of researchers to help analyze data.
  • languages: Python (h5py package)
  • software: custom written software by Dr. Boeglin, HDF View

• We need to develop a code to change our data output file format to be uploaded to our collaborators' database. These data files will contain signals, voltage values, which represent particles created in the plasma that have deposted their energy into our detectors.
  • languages: Python (h5py package), IDL, you also have the option to use C++ or Fortran
  • file format types: HWS, HDF, NetCDF (Network Common Data Form)

• Updates to current high vacuum system (see vacuum hardware below)
