My name is Dadan Hidayatuloh, and I am currently a final years student majoring in

physics at IPB University. I am writing to convey my keen interest in participating in


the CERN Summer Student Programe 2024, where as someone who is very
passionate about the world of muon imaging. I hope to immerse myself in the
fascinating world of muon imaging. especially learning and getting to know more
about detectors for muon imaging in this CERN Summer Program.

Muon imaging has filled my heart starting when Dr. Suharyo Sumowidagdo
recommended a topic to my advisor Dr. Tony Ibnu Sumaryada on muography volcano
imaging. After being study about muon imaging has captivated my attention due to its
unique ability to provide non-invasive insights into geological structures,
archaeological artifacts, and even industrial materials. The innovative projects
conducted at CERN, such as “Micromegas detectors for muography: Applications and
recent developments in detection systems and data analysis” and “SiPM (Silicon
Photomultiplier)-based scintillator”, have served as a driving force behind my desire
to learning detectors for muon imaging in this CERN Summer Program.

My interest continued when I did a research internship at the National Research and
Innovation Agency under Dr. Zulkaida Akbar, under whom I learned a lot about
particle physics, statistics, basic machine learning, Geant4 and fundamentals of
detector technology. Not only that, together with him I ran Geant4 Muon Tomography
simulations for the Evaluation of Deposits in Oil Industry Pipelines.

One of the most important components in muon imaging is the detector, without
muon detectors objects cannot be reconstructed properly. therefore it is very important
to learn muon detectors for a muographer. One of the detectors that I want to learn at
CERN Summer Student is the micromegas detector for muography and the SiPM-
based scintillator detector. Through my coursework in Research Intership with Dr.
Zulkaida Akbar, I have developed a strong foundation in particle physics,
fundamentals of detector technology, and Geant4 simulation that I believe will
contribute to my understanding of the complexities associated with these detectors.

CERN, as a leader in particle physics research, is an ideal environment for me to


further explore muon imaging and detectors. The opportunity to work alongside
leading researchers and learning about muon imaging detectors from various experts
make CERN the perfect place to expand my knowledge and skills in this muon
imaging field. especially since CERN annually organizes an international muography
forum called muographer.

In conclusion, I am eager to contribute to the ongoing research at CERN and believe


that this summer program will provide me with invaluable experience in muon
imaging and detector technology. I look forward to the opportunity to immerse myself
in the collaborative and dynamic environment that CERN offers.

Thank you for considering my application. I am excited by the prospect of


contributing to the groundbreaking work being carried out at CERN and am confident
that this experience will significantly enhance my academic and professional journey
within the field of muon imaging.
