- Post doctoral position, PHENIX, Ohio University Athens (July 2009)
A Post-doctoral Research position is available immediately with the Relativistic Heavy Ion group in the Institute for Nuclear and Particle Physics (INPP) at Ohio University. Our research is performed at RHIC with the PHENIX experiment focused primarily on studying QCD and modifications to hard scattering in Heavy Ion collisions, jet, and direct photon physics in general. The group, led by Professor Justin Frantz, pursues major software and analysis responsibilities on PHENIX, including work on various upgrades to PHENIX to take advantage of increasing luminosity at RHIC, such as the Data Aquisition/Trigger, Forward Calorimeter, or Silicon Vertex detector upgrades. The successful candidate may reside either at Ohio University or near Brookhaven National Lab, depending on preference, but with significant time spent at RHIC in either case. Limited involvement with the one of the LHC Heavy Ion efforts may be possible. Applicants with interest in the polarized p+p program at RHIC will also be considered.To apply, please send a CV with a list of recent talks and publications to
frantz@ohio.edu (email is preferable) or to
Prof. Justin Frantz, 216 Edwards Accelerator Laboratory,
Ohio University, Athens OH, 45701.
Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.

Jet quenching of charm and beauty in heavy ion collisions with STAR at RHIC
One of the most outstanding new results of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Brookhaven Laboratory, USA, is the observation of anomalous energy loss of quarks passing through the dense partonic medium (the so called Quark Gluon Plasma or QGP) formed in central Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s)(NN)=200 GeV. This phenomenon, called 'jet quenching', allows for a direct measure of the initial density of partons, an important key for the characterization of the QCD phase transition between hadrons and partons. This transition is believed to have taken place in the early universe, 10^6 seconds after the Big Bang. One of the biggest puzzles of RHIC is the jet quenching of quarks with heavy flavour (charm and beauty added together) which is larger than the theoretical predictions. Or, the flavour dependence of jet quenching is not yet understood.
The proposed post doc position opening concerns data analysis for the direct measurement of charm and beauty separately within the STAR experiment at RHIC, in order to resolve the puzzle of flavour dependence of jet quenching. In particular data analysis of yields and transverse momentum (pT) dependence of charmed mesons and baryons in Au+Au and p+p collisions at 200 GeV. Azimuthal angular correlations of those particles with high pT electrons is another tool to disengtangle charm and beauty.
The STAR data needed for this work are already taken and are calibrated and ready to be analysed. Furthermore the software codes (c++, root) needed as basis for this analysis are also available. The large number of already existing and well calibrated data which offer a rich source for future papers within short timespan, are a great advantage of the present post doc position. Our group at Subatech collaborates closely with several university groups in the USA and the Brookhaven Lab. Our analysis on the proposed subject is well advanced, allowing for an easy integration of a new person in the working environment and the reach of new important results in a fast timespan.
SUBATECH is located in Nantes, a beautifull city in the western part of France, 400 km west of Paris.
Applications, including a CV, university records, publications, and the names, telephones and e-mails of four academic references willing to provide further information on the candidate, should be sent by e-mail to the contact :
