Outlines Structure of SQU Structure of SQU-CMS Group Joining CMS as cooperative member SQU Long term Aims for Joining CMS SQU Contributions in RPC Summary and Conclusion IB Meeting of RPC 2
SQU Structure The SQU consists of nine Colleges: Science Engineering Medicine and Health Science Agricultural and Marine Sciences Arts and Social Sciences Economics and Political Science Education Law Nursing IB Meeting of RPC 3
SQU Structure SQU is the oldest university in Oman and one of the oldest university in the whole Gulf region (was Founded 1985 ) . SQU includes 9 large faculties and several research institutes SQU colleges are serving around 15,357 students of which 7,942 are female students and 7,415 are male students. 4000 employees. IB Meeting of RPC 4
SQU-CMS group The group was formed in September 2015 of 10 academic staff and 6 MSc and 8 BSc students. SQU-CMS group holds regular weekly meeting since Sept. 2015 tell present. The group showed a great interest to join the CMS as X-Ray Photo Electron Spectroscopy full member in order to run strong collaborative research with CMS groups. IB Meeting of RPC 5
SQU-CMS group forms fourth sub-groups: • i- Theory (phenomenology), ii- Data analysis iii- Experimental (Simulation detectors). This division was done according to the background and interests of the academic staff in SQU-CMS group which had mainly 6 physicists and 2 computer science. iv- Mechatronic Engineering which has 3 academics and one MSc student from college of Engineering. IB Meeting of RPC 6
Objectives SQU has signed an agreement (Letter of Interest LI ) with CMS since June 2015 which is mainly benefits the undergraduate and postgraduate students. SQU has corporation membership since 2016 which provides higher level of research collaborations with CMS existing groups The main objective is to train young Omani scientists in theoretical and experimental techniques as well as data analysis skills of high energy particle physics. To expose SQU academics and researchers from college of Science and College of Engineering to one of the most challenging international collaborations at CERN IB Meeting of RPC 7
Proposed Contribution of SQU in RPC Research, Development and Simulations Chamber Assembly and Tests Data Quality Monitoring Completion of the instrumentations needed for an RPC laboratory in Oman. IB Meeting of RPC 8
Summary and Conclusions Within one year (June 2015 - Present), SQU set the foundations of the CMS research infra structure by: 1- Constructing local SQU-CMS group of 10 senior academic staff 2- Encouraging post graduate students to attend CMS summer schools (10 are selected in the summer 2015,2016 and 2017) IB Meeting of RPC 9
3- SQU-CMS group has well defined three subgroups according to interests of the group members. • There is always a possibility of adding new members to the SQU-CMS group from computer and mathematics departments , College of Science and from Mechatronics Department, College of Engineering. Also the window is opened for researchers from other universities in the Sultanate of Oman. • We have a well organized plan for the coming three years of mainly - holing training workshops - MSc and PhD supervision - getting exposed to CMS type of research topics - establishing collaborations with regional middle east groups.
