Biography:

In 2003 to 2005, I designed a experiment to generate the extensive air shower in laboratory. 6*10^8 electrons with 1.5 GeV energy injected to the instrument and generate the secondary particles. The CCD camera detect the cherenkov radiation, which emitted by charged particle. We use the Geant4 to verify the experimental result. The experimental data agree with the GEANT4 simulation result.

In 2006 to 2007, I use the GEANT4 to simulate the proton therapy. Low energy proton interact with different materials, such as pure water, muscle, or bone. In this study, I analyse the energy loss in the human body. It is useful to apply hadron beam to kill the cancer cells of patient. In this study, Y-S Yeh and me also simulate the low energy neutron interacting with water by using GEANT4, FLUKA and MCNP, three major simulation programs in nuclear physics. The result of Geant4 simulation is different with the other two program in the several MeV level.

In 2007 to 2008, I go to IHEP to help the CRTNT (Cosmic Ray Tau Neutrino Telescope) group estimate the high energy tau neutrino flux in real geometry. At that time, I simulate the high energy tau neutrino interacting with Earth and generate the tau leptons on the surface of Earth by SHINIE (Simulation of High Energy Neutrino Interacting with the Earth). NCTU & NUU high energy particle group. SHINIE is develop by This program simulate the neutrinos interacting with different materials in the earth. SHINE can output the all information about the interaction (Such as particle direction, interaction position in the earth, particle energy etc.). then, we use the CORSIKA to simulate the extensive shower in the atmosphere. By combining the tau flux and Shower simulation result, CRTNT estimate the tau neutrino events by those simulation.

In early 2009, Prof. J.W. Nam, Prof. Guey-Lin Lin, Dr. KC Lai, Chi-Chin Chen and me use CORSIKA simulated extensive air shower structure to calculate the coherent geosynchrotron radio emissions of the tau decay above 10^17 eV. We present the pattern and spectrum of radio waves and discuss their detection by radio antennae.

Prof. Guey-Lin Lin, Dr. KC Lai and me reconstructed the neutrino flavor ratio at the source. We considered the global fitting values of neutrino mixing angle to analyse the possible flavor ratio of source. After 2011, I started working in Leung Center for Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics, National Taiwan university and joined the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) and Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO) project. ARA project is a new detector deployed at the South Pole designed to detect high energy Neutrinos using radio-frequency signal.

In the 2010-2011 austral summer a prototype we refer to as “The test bed” was deployed about 1km away from the South Pole station with antennas down to 30m deep. It is successfully taking data as you read. We also installated of additional three stations in December 2011. All stations(37) for a ~200km^2 array is plan to set up before 2021. UFFO is a satellite telescope to observe the prompt signals of gamma-ray bursts. In this project, I simulated the particle response and thermal effect of UFFO detector. The satelite plan to launch at 2014 Fall.
