Job Description

Your duties

Are you able to revolutionize the calibration workflows inside CMS and drive ahead the way forward for particle physics analysis? We’re looking for a dynamic particular person to hitch our crew as a Excessive-Degree Set off Calibration Specialist. On this position, you’ll conduct complete analyses, collaborate on prototype design and testing, and combine production-grade methods to reinforce calibration effectivity and optimize on-line reconstruction. For those who’re keen about pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery, we invite you to embark on this thrilling journey with us.

This place is within the context of the NextGen Triggers (NGT) undertaking. The NGT undertaking is a 5-year collaboration between the LHC experiments and the CERN Analysis and Computing Sector to push ahead the use and influence of revolutionary Synthetic Intelligence applied sciences and high-performance heterogeneous computing architectures for the LHC experiments’ set off choice, information processing, and theoretical interpretation, and foster the event of the required technical competencies. The innovation generated whereas working in the direction of the wants of the Excessive-Luminosity (HL)-LHC phases will present vital insights to develop future detectors, information flows and theoretical instruments.

Duties:

• Conduct a complete evaluation of the present calibration workflows inside CMS, collaborating with present crew members to assemble details about present calibration procedures.
• Establish areas for enchancment within the calibration course of and assess the influence of non-optimal calibrations on the physics efficiency of the web reconstruction by analysing information to quantify calibration inaccuracies.
• Take part within the design and testing of a prototype system geared toward enhancing calibration effectivity, programming algorithms and analysing information to evaluate the effectiveness of the prototype in enhancing calibration accuracy and effectivity.
• Combine and take a look at the production-grade calibration system inside the CMS on-line infrastructure, working intently with system directors and software program engineers to make sure seamless integration.
• Conduct thorough testing of the prototype in a sensible atmosphere, simulating varied eventualities to evaluate efficiency and reliability, and produce detailed experiences evaluating the influence of improved on-line calibrations on the physics efficiency of the Excessive-Degree Set off.

The profitable candidate can be anticipated to work effectively inside a crew, together with colleagues at CERN and collaborating institutes. There can even be alternatives to current their work at conferences/workshops at CERN and outdoors.
