Dr. Yaping Cheng

PostDoc, March 2017 - March 2019
The position was made possible by the CSC exchange programme.
Focus of Research: Involved in the Daya Bay PMT gain calibration Rolling Gain calibration method and the after-pluse testing of new concept MCP-PMT R&D, studied positronium state in Liquid scintillator. Working on the waveform reconstruction method development in the early stage of JUNO experiment. Now working on the low energy track reconstruction in large Liquid scintillator and JUNO MH sensitivity studies based on the Global Fitting tools from Dubna Group.
