Minho Kim

Postdoctoral Appointee

Biography

Minho Kim is a postdoctoral appointee in the Medium Energy Group (MEP). His primary research interests are focused on spin structure of a nucleon, spin-dependent particle production mechanism, and detector R&D, which enables us to measure important experimental observables. Since he joined MEP, he has been working on development of the Barrel Imaging Calorimeter for the ePIC experiment and data analysis of the E12-06-121 experiment at Jefferson Lab to evaluate \(g_{2}^{n}\) and \(d_{2}^{n}\) at high \(Q^{2}\) precisely.

Before he was employed at Argonne National Laboratory, he was working at RIKEN for the RHICf experiment. He was mainly involved in the measurement and analysis of the transverse single-spin asymmetry of very forward particle to study the spin-dependent diffractive particle production mechanism. He was also directly involved in the development of the ALICE forward calorimeter for a possible very forward particle measurement in the future.
