Summer Bursaries 2008

• Title: Supersymmetric tau lepton signatures in ATLAS
• Duration: 10 weeks
• Supervisor; Dr A De Santo

• Brief description of project: The project I propose is computer based, to investigate the physics potential of SUSY tau signatures at ATLAS. Ideally, by the end of the summer, the student will have:
  • familiarized her/himself with the basic ideas underlying SUSY theories;
  • become proficient in the use of some of the standard ATLAS software tools;
