PhD Studentship: On the DUNE Neutrino Experiment

http://www.sussex.ac.uk/epp/  

Purposes are invited from proficient, and inventive college students for a PhD place in Experimental Particle Physics, to hitch the Sussex group engaged on the DUNE experiment underneath 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 might maintain the important thing to explaining the matter – antimatter symmetry within the Universe. Despite the fact that the large bang created matter and antimatter, we live in a matter dominated Universe. As well as, DUNE has a singular sensitivity to neutrinos from a supernova in our Galaxy, which might give a wealth of knowledge on neutrino particles in addition to the dying moments of stars. The quantity of information that can 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’ll 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 searching for. As well as, Dr Shaw leads the outreach actions for the DUNE experiment, and you should have the chance to get straight concerned with this and additional develop your communication expertise.

Purposes shut on fifth April 2024.

UK college students are eligible for residence tuition charges, as are EU college students with settled or pre-settled standing underneath the EU Settlement Scheme .
