Offered Bachelor’s or Master’s Theses Topics
- Entwicklung eines numerischen Integrationsalgorithmus in hochdimensionalen Räumen
You will develop novel integration algorithms in high-dimensional spaces. Possibilities include various forms of importance sampling algorithms and the further development of the Adaptive Harmonic Mean Integration algorithm using differently chosen volumes for integration. Test problems will be chosen from physics projects to validate the algorithm. Good programming skills and knowledge of linear algebra are a pre-requisite for the project.

- Studien zur Belle-II-Physik
New theoretical studies indicate an up to 5% difference of the calculated cross section from final state radiation on the measurement of the B0 -> K+pi- cross section. The student will implement the new calculations in a Monte Carlo simulation program. The impact will be studies and included in the systematic error and verified in the data.
