Apply Geant4 and G4beamline simulations at TRIUMF’s Vancouver laboratory while investigating pion lifetime measurement and recent physics.
This student research assignment supports a dedicated experiment measuring pion lifetime with a relative uncertainty of 0.01%. You will build, run, and debug simulation tools, gaining detailed understanding of pion decay physics and experimental methods. You will help shape design decisions through documented results.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build and debug Geant4 and G4beamline simulations
- Run dedicated simulations for pion lifetime research
- Use results to inform experiment design decisions
- Document day-to-day research work
- Explain research through presentations and posters
Requirements:
- Undergraduate student status in an eligible program
- Safe laboratory equipment handling practices
- Experimental troubleshooting ability
- Independent working ability and judgment
- Clear communication with non-specialist audiences
Develop simulation expertise while contributing documented analysis to TRIUMF’s pion lifetime experiment and particle physics research program.
