  1. PhD student impressions Zdenko van Kesteren RECFA 23-09-2005

  2. Introduction • Started Ph.D january 2005, working on ATLAS @ CERN • One of the first graduates on new bachelor/master particle physics (joint NIKHEF, UvA, UU, VU program) RECFA 2005

  3. Water Cherenkov muon detector 4 months project RECFA 2005

  4. CERN summerschool RECFA 2005

  5. Graduation on B-field sensors RECFA 2005

  6. After graduation: Ph.D at NIKHEF Education never ends... • Topical lectures 3 days • Gravitation, Monte Carlo, loop calculations, … • BDN summerschool2 weeks • At this very moment: Texel summerschool • Give education • Supervising undergraduate students RECFA 2005

  7. Research & service tasks Service tasks • Cabling MDTchambers at CERN Research – NIKHEF good environment • Software • Muonspectrometer and tracking • Threshold to make contribution to large software framework high • Physics at ATLAS • Single top analysis RECFA 2005

  8. Conclusions • Master program at NIKHEF excellent dive into particle physics • Master and Ph.D at NIKHEF good opportunity to work at a large-scale experiment such as ATLAS RECFA 2005
