3) Lokesh Tribedi

A. Highly charge ion interaction with biomolecules using ToF technique.

[This project aims to study the ion-induced damage of DNA-base, using ECR ions beams. However the main emphasis will be to learn the beasic techniques of time of flight recoil ion measurements+ ecr beam techniques].

B. Electron impact ionization of C60 fullerenes using electron spectroscopic technique.

[This projects is aimed to initiate new measurememnts on plasmon resonance in C60 using fast electron beams from a table top setup. This is an ideal project to learn basic techniques of electron spectroscopy, vacuum techniques, data analysis. Finally the

experiment is however, towards a bigger goal of probing collective excitation in clusters]

  1. X-ray Optics
    by Prof. K.P. Singh
    Note: D. Munsi has already started this project.
    2. Characterization of the Near Infrared Camera TIRCAM2 based on 512x512 Indium Antimonide Array (spectral response 1 - 5 micron)
    by Prof. Swarna Kanti Ghosh
    Brief summary : The project will involve understanding of Infrared detectors, optics, cryogenics, electronics, data acquisition, statistical analysis and image processing. The TIRCAM2 camera will have to be tested and characterized for read noise, dark current, photon background, photo-responsivity, effect of saturation, etc.
