I am writing, testing and using simulation programs for precise particle and spin tracking in storage rings. The main applications for these programs are the proposed proton electric dipole moment (pEDM) experiment and the muon g-2 experiment. Both experiments are precision experiments and the use similar experimental techniques. The simulations are needed to test new concepts and to design the pEDM-ring.
I am studying about growth methods and electronic structures of high tc superconducting films using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with high magnetic field. I plan to grow high tc superconducting films under ultra high vacuum (UHV) and confirm the superconductivity of them using STM in situ. Based on the research results, I will try to develop superconducting cavities.
I have been interested in searching for anything beyond the standard model to understand what the Universe is. Now I am after the dark matter of the Universe by searching for axion. Then, the next after the dark matter will be the rest of the Universe.
Research interests:
- Trigger system design and construction for COMET experiment
- Trigger algorithm development for COMET experiment
- Signal processing electronics and DAQ system construction for CAPP Axion experiment
- Simulational efforts for Fermilab g-2 and BNL pEDM project
Broadly speaking, I am strongly interested in both aspects of the CAPP program, namely axion searches and the measurement of the proton electric dipole moment, together linked to the fundamental time reversal symmetry, ouside the traditional framework of the Standard Model of particle physics (what experts in the field call the Kobayashi-Maskawa framework). Axion searches, on the other hand, can have major cosmological consequences, whether or not an axion is discovered. Axions are in fact thought to provide most of the astronomical dark matter, which constitutes another great mistery in modern physics. My focus is currently on dark matter axion searches.
My research interests are:
Beam position monitoring
Beam profile monitoring
Spin and beam tracking
