University of Sussex PhD Studentship on the NOvA Experiment

http://www.sussex.ac.uk/epp/

Purposes are invited from gifted and inventive college students for a PhD place in Experimental Particle Physics, to hitch the Sussex group engaged on the NOvA experiment beneath the supervision of Dr Lily Asquith.

The NOvA experiment makes use of the world’s strongest neutrino beam supplied by Fermilab in Chicago, USA to measure the oscillation of muon-type to electron-type neutrinos utilizing a pair of detectors separated by 800 km. NOvA will proceed with greater than a decade of data-taking till round 2027, and so is coming into crucial period by way of information evaluation. Exploitation of the massive last information set would require artistic pondering along with the event of machine studying strategies and novel approaches to the remedy of systematic uncertainties. The Sussex NOvA group includes two school, two postdocs, and three PhD college students. We’re main the hassle to make use of 1000’s of “take a look at beam” particles to enhance the measurements of the oscillation parameters, together with the Cost-Parity violation parameter that would reveal the key of our matter-dominated universe.

Funding is on the market for a September 2024 begin which features a tax-free bursary (£18,662 each year in 2023/24) and absolutely paid tuition charges for 3.5 years on the home-student stage (£4,712 each year in 2023).
