Description of the thesis topic
Search for cosmological magnetic fields with gamma-ray telescopes. Such fields that can survive from the early universe may reside in cosmic voids between galaxies today. The thesis work will include numerical modelling, data analysis and interpretation aimed at detection of the void magnetic fields using new generation of gamma-ray telescopes, Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) and Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO).
Work Context
The candidate will be integrated in a group at Astroparticle and Cosmology laboratory in Paris that is involved in both CTAO and LHAASO.
Constraints and risks
Travel in France or abroad is to be expected.
No particular risk.
