Congratulations to Grant Doherty for completing his Co-Op term in the sTGC Lab!  Hi was able to succssfully deploy and comission a cosmic ray muon triggering system based on scintilator bars and silicon photo multipliers.  Grant has been a fantastic member of our team and we hope to see him again!

Congratulations to Brandon Death for defending his MSc thesis: Jet Comparison, Trigger, and Sensitivity Studies of Dark Sector Emerging Jet MC Models!  The pandemic really threw the plan for a loop but Brandon worked hard and is well deserving of his degree.

Thanks for all the hard work and best of luck!
