Entry requirements:
  •  Master’s degree / equivalent in a related field
  •  B2 level of English
  •  Good track record of publications related to the topic of the intended research
  •  Strong research proposal 1,500 - 3,500 words

Research supervisor:
Yuri Kopatch
PhD

Supervisor’s research interests:
  •  Tagged neutron method.
  •  Nuclear fission (neutron induced and spontaneous).
  •  Violation of fundamental symmetries (T- and P-violation in neutron-induced reactions).
  •  Neutron lifetime.

Research highlights:
Participation in several research projects can be proposed for the student:
  •  Using the TANGRA setup, consisting of an ING-27 tagged neutron generator and a set of gamma-ray and/or neutron detectors for elemental analysis and investigation of nuclear reactions.
  •  Nuclear fission studies, including research on ternary/quaternary fission, T-odd effects in fission, neutron and gamma-ray emission from fission. Collaboration with IPHC (Strasbourg) is possible.
  •  Participation in the CERN nTof project.

Supervisor’s specific requirements:
The applicant is expected to have at least basic knowledge of nuclear physics, data analysis and nuclear electronics. Specific requirements:
  •  Programming skills, knowledge of programming languages, preferably C/C++.
  •  Experience with ROOT framework (root.cern.ch).
  •  Monte Carlo simulations, specifically using GEANT4 toolkit (geant4.cern.ch).
  •  Experience with digitizers and digital data processing.
