Training Materials

Training for g2p target operators will consist of a brief online quiz on the topics covered here on the Wiki, followed by a practical course when the target is installed and running in the hall. The primer is also available as a PDF: File:G2p target primer.pdf.

• Practical Primer on the UVa Target
• Polarization Display Panel (PDP) Overview
• Target Operator Duties
• Target Training Slides

Take the quiz after you've read the above primer closely, and taken a look at the two others as well:

• Online Target Operator Quiz
  • List of Certified Target Operators
