DØ PHYSICS / QCD

Jet Multiplicity Ratio "R32"- A study of multijet cross section ratios as a test of renormalization scale sensitivity of NLO QCD calculations (JETRAD). Jet Multiplicity Subgroup: Elizabeth Gallas, KiSuk Hahn, Jerry Blazey. This paper has been published:

B.Abbott, et al. "Ratios of Multijet Cross Sections in $p\bar{p}$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV",
Published in Phys.Rev.Lett. 86 (2001) 1955-1960. Also in hep-ex (0009012)

Offline/Online SOFTWARE

MTC is a software package for Muon Tracking in the DØ Calorimeter,
containing utilities for:

offline track verification, tracking and track finding,
online track verification and isolation,and
offline vertex projection determination.

Roles in the DØ Experiment

DØ Database Group

DØ Database Group Leader since 2004
Developer/Designer on many DØ Database and Online projects

Trigger Meister during first collisions - May 2001 through September 2003 -- The TM is a primary contact for approval, optimization and implementation of trigger configurations to record data for the purpose of commissioning the detector and the recording of physics data.

May 2001 to Dec 2001 with Levan Babukadia -
during the period of first collisions and first physics datataking for DØ in Run 2
