The Nuclear Physics Group at the University of Kansas invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the area of relativistic heavy-ion physics. Our group is a member of the BRAHMS collaboration at the RHIC facility and is exploring correlations of particle production with reaction plane and centrality in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Required qualifications include a Ph.D. degree in nuclear science or high energy physics at time of hire, evidence of scientific productivity, working experience on nuclear/high energy physics experiments, and the ability to spend at least four weeks a year at BNL. Desired qualifications include experience with detector design and development and experience with running experiments and data analysis. The initial appointment will be for one year, but is renewable contingent on funding. To apply, send a cover letter, a CV, bibliography, and have three letters of recommendation sent to Professor S. J. Sanders, Physics and Astronomy, Malott Hall, 1251 Wescoe Hall Dr., Room 1082, Lawrence KS 66045-7582. Initial review: Aug. 9, 2004. See . EO/AA employer.

Subject:	[Brahms-l] Beam Use Proposal

July 7, 2004

 

Dear Collaborator,

 

 

We should get underway with the organization of the beam use proposal (BUP) including preparations, and writing of the document. 
Since we are already into the vacation time it may be difficult to involve a large group of the collaboration. I have asked a small group of people, namely J.H.Lee, I.G.Bearden, M.J.Murray, (including myself) to take the lead in this process.  I will welcome others who have the time right now to contribute, and expect each institutional group to discuss the matter and make contributions.
Since the deadline for the submission is July 28 it is important to move along.



I see this being accomplished on a short timetable of roughly

  a.. Initial discussion and consensus forming
  b.. Working out details on luminosity estimates, and arguments for proposed program
  c.. Final writing of document (should start on ~ July 21)

I do think the document itself need not be very long, since the 5 year beam use proposal was submitted last year, and the input to the RHIC decadal plan in December. These documents should form the basis for the program.  The argument and estimates for the requested luminosity and species and energy should be crisp.



 

I see the discussion evolve around: 
-preferred HI running for run-5
 Since this most likely will be a Light Ion (regardless of our point of view) we should  discuss and have arguments for preferred specie.
  -to what degree should we be part of pp running (An (pol) , 62 GeV (unpol))
-preferred HI for run-6
  lower energy? i.e. complete 62 ?
  return to Au ? another Light Ion?
-how does the possible detector addition fit into this



I should add for completeness that JJG is advocating another, yet un-specified lower energy run with Au-Au (as mentioned in Oslo).


 
Best regards
    Flemming

 

I will add relevant material to my RCF webpage including last years proposal, and the luminosity projections from CA-D.
