Description
Belle II is the detector observing electron-positron annihilations at the
asymmetric energy Super-KEKB factory in Japan since 2019. More than a billion
processed and calibrated events are available at DESY. Physics topics being
pursued include precision lifetime measurements for tau leptons and charm
hadrons, which exploit the unique pixel vertex detector. Further analysis
techniques being developed include time-dependent Dalitz plots for charm mixing
and CP violation studies and recoil mass spectra for B decay measurements and
searches. A student project would be defined in one of these areas. The data are
stored as ROOT trees and analyzed in C++ and optionally Python. Some programming
and particle physics knowledge would be beneficial but most of the learning will
come from using examples on the data.
