It is our job to design, build, and program the production database for the internal detector on the extended ATLAS experiment, which is scheduled to go live in 2024. This database will store information on all detector component parts, their functionalities, mutual interconnections, and all tests performed on basic elements. Experiment participants from all over the world will be able to see the current state of reconstruction, as well how the detector component parts work and are interrelated. This will make the building and operation of the newly reconstructed internal detector much easier.
Our students have the opportunity to actively participate in this project, as developers, testers, or project coordinators. They will work on tasks under the leadership of Unicorn University teaching professionals. The best students will have the chance of an internship at CERN or at one of its partner research facilities, such as the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, the University of Glasgow, and many more.
"Thanks to the ITk Production Database Project at CERN, I have gained experience working at an international level. As a member of the comprehensive database development team, I worked on designing and building its user interface and back-end, as well as leading its development team."
