PhD Studentship: On the DUNE Neutrino Experiment

http://www.sussex.ac.uk/epp/  

Functions are invited from proficient, and artistic college students for a PhD place in Experimental Particle Physics, to affix the Sussex group engaged on the DUNE experiment below the supervision of Prof Simon Peeters and Dr Kate Shaw. 

DUNE is a world mega experiment that’s being developed to measure CP violation within the neutrinos. These nonetheless considerably mysterious particles may maintain the important thing to explaining the matter – antimatter symmetry within the Universe. Though the massive bang created matter and antimatter, we live in a matter dominated Universe. As well as, DUNE has a novel sensitivity to neutrinos from a supernova in our Galaxy, which might give a wealth of data on neutrino particles in addition to the dying moments of stars. The quantity of information that might be produced by DUNE is huge and we’d like to have the ability to successfully determine uncommon occasions equivalent to supernova neutrino interactions. The Sussex group focuses on the event of the software program to do that. You may be working in a world mega experiment, so having the ability to talk successfully, construct networks, and take initiative is a key ability that we’re on the lookout for. As well as, Dr Shaw leads the outreach actions for the DUNE experiment, and you’ll have the chance to get instantly concerned with this and additional develop your communication expertise.

Residence and Abroad college students are eligible to use.

Functions shut on fifth April 2024.

UK college students are eligible for house tuition charges, as are EU college students with settled or pre-settled standing below the EU Settlement Scheme . Excellent college students not eligible for house charges could also be thought of for a partial tuition charge waiver above that degree.
