CMS simulations
Julia Thom, mentor

In preparation for the CMS experiment at CERN 
we are working on developing and testing data analysis
algorithms  by studying simulated high energy proton-proton collisions. 
The project will involve testing data handling, tracking, vertexing and jet 
algorithms to reconstruct Monte Carlo events 
at the CMS experiment, such as Higgs decays.  
Real data from lower energy proton-anti-proton
collisions at the Tevatron is available to understand
typical detector and physics backgrounds.
Required: familiarity with C++
